I sat on my bed and just cried for half an hour. I finally decided that I needed to tell them what actually happened and I just won't mention who it was. I got up and looked in the mirror. My face was raw from all the crying. I got up and went over to josh and jadens room. I knocked on the door. "Who is it?" Jaden asked from behind the door. "It's gra-ace" I stuttered because I was nervous. "Don't come in" he said. "Please I just wanna talk" I begged. He unlocked the door and he looked as if he had been crying. I walked in an Josh wasn't there. He got back in his bed and I sat on the edge. "Why would you do that grace?" He said sounding hurt. "Jaden just let me explain." I begged and he sat silently crossing his arms. I started to sob. "I didn't want to" I blurted out. "What do you mean?" He asked confused. "I didn't want to hookup with the guy in the bathroom" I said through my tears. I took of jadens hoodie so I was sitting in my sports bra and shorts. He looked at me in shock.

Jaden POV
I couldn't believe what I was seeing she had a purple ring around her neck and hickeys all over her chest. She put her hoodie back on and just looked at me. I was speechless. "I didn't mean to cheat on you but I didn't want to and I'm sorry" she said through her tears. I opened my arms up and she crawled into them and then under my blanket with me. "Grace who did this?" I asked because I was angry. "It doesn't matter" she said quietly. I decided to leave her because I didn't want to make her cry more  I could feel she was shaking. "Gracie I'm calling josh, he needs to know" I said. I looked up his contact and called it. It rang 3 times and then he answered.

Josh: hello?
Me: come here
Josh: where are you
Me: our room
Josh: coming

I hung up and minutes later he came upstairs.

Josh POV
I walk in and grace is crying next to Jaden in his bed.  "What's going on?" I asked confused. I thought Jaden was mad at her. "I'm gonna tell him" Jaden whispered to grace. She just nodded. "Jaden tell me what?" I asked getting a bit mad. "She was sexually assaulted. She didn't want to hookup with whoever she hooked up with" Jaden blurted out. Grace got up and ran out the door and into the bathroom next door. Jaden got up fast. "Wait I wanna talk to her" I said stopping him. He accepted that and went back into his bed. I knocked on the door. "Gracie, can I come in?" I asked nicely. I heard the door unlock and I walked in. "Cmon sit here" I said and tapped the counter where the taps were. She climbed up on there and just sat in silence. Her face was raw from all the crying. "Calm down and tell me what happened" I said patiently rubbing her knees. She took a deep breath and started. "I went to the bathroom and couldn't find it. When I looked in a room and it still wasn't the bathroom I turned around to see the guy standing behind me. He said he'd show me where the bathroom was so I followed him and he took me to a room. He started to try and kiss me but I dodged him and told him I was dating Jaden. He then pushed me against a wall and wouldn't let me go while he kissed me all over" she said and burst into tears half way through. "Hey hey hey it's okay, it's okay I'm here, your safe now" I hugged her and tried to reassure her. She leaned her head on my shoulder and just cried. I should have been there for her. I should have looked out for her. SHe sobbed into my chest and I just tried to be there for her as much as I could. "Grace you wanna show me what this guy left on you? You don't have to" I asked her. She took off her hoodie and reveled her chest and neck. I was shocked. I didn't think it would be this bad. She put the hoodie back on. I cupped her face with my hands and wiped her tears with my thumbs. "I'm really sorry I wasn't there" I said in defeat. "It's not your fault" she tried to reassure me. "But I need to know who did it" I claimed. "I can't" she said. "Why?" I asked confused. "Because I really can't Josh" she said hurt. I give her a bear hug and we walk back into Jaden and I's room. She gets in his bed with him and I go in my bed with nessa since she's staying the night. We all fall asleep
