*The next day*
When I woke up, I felt someone's arms around me. Shit. There were 5 guys and I think they all had girlfriends. Except Ashley. Ashley who was the biggest pervert here. I was kind of hoping it wouldn't be Ashley, but at the same time, my heart fluttered at the thought that it could be. I was facing whoever it was. I waited a minute before opening my eyes. I just wanted to breath in their scent. It smelled so good. You're going to think I'm a creep for this, but I was trying determine who it was by their scent. Beer. Vodka. A faint axe scent mixed with some cologne. Smoke. I want to guess its Andy because of the smoke, but whoever it was, was shirtless and the chest felt too broad to be Andy's or CC's.(I know, I'm a creep). His breathing was steady and calming. I was starting to fall asleep when I heard the curtain of the bunk slide open. I heard a slap whoever it was turned his head and said "Oww. What was that for?" and then Andy's voice.
"Ashley? What the fuck? What will she think when she wakes up and finds you cuddling her. Just because she fell asleep doesn't mean you can do this. Now wake up and put some clothes on." I heard his footsteps walking away. Ashley gently slid his arms away from me and landed on the floor. He got dressed and I rolled over so I was facing the wall. I opened my eyes and just laid in bed. When ever I heard someone coming and walking by, I shut my eyes. I was probably laying in bed, thinking for about 2 hours when I heard Andy say something. I heard footsteps and I closed my eyes again. Then I felt a rush of cold air come over me and my body instinctively curled up into a little ball. I realized the covers had been yanked off of me. I heard the footsteps walking away and I opened my eyes, still on my side though. I heard footsteps coming back and all of a sudden I felt someone grabbing me and I screamed. There was laughing and as I was pulled out of the bed, I realized it was Jinxx and Ashley, and they carried me into the kitchen. They put me on the floor but I didn't want to stand so I sat down and curled up into a ball again.
I mumbled "Your floor is cold....And why are you all shirtless....Ashley I can understand why."
Andy laughed and said "Duh. Now get up and get changed. We are going out. Today is our last day in Manhattan. We are getting ready to go on tour and we don't want to spend all day in this bus. We are going to the beach."
"But, I don't have a swim suit." One of the guys tapped me on the shoulder and I turned around. Ashley was holding a new bikini and smirked.
Ashley said "And don't bother putting anything on over it." I rolled my eyes and grabbed it then headed to the bathroom to change. I looked at myself in the mirror. I thought I was fat, but other girls were jealous of me. Honestly, if I was any skinnier, my ribs would show even more. I walked out of the bathroom with my clothes and shoved them in my bag. Good thing I had shaved yesterday when I took a shower on the bus. I stood up and I immediately felt someone grab my hand and start running. I didn't even know anyone was still one the bus. We had been driving while I was talking to the guys and I didn't even realize it, so when I was changed, we pulled into the beach. I realized it was Ashley that grabbed my hand and he wouldn't let me go. I laughed and then he jumped off the bus but I wasn't expecting it and because I was so light, I practically flew off the steps. He caught me and threw me over his shoulder and started running to the water.
I wasn't ready to go into the ocean water yet and I screamed through my laughter "AHHH Ashley...Whatever you middle name is, Purdy!!! Put me down!!!"
He said "Nope!!!" Then I felt him running on a dock and the next thing I knew, I was being thrown into the water. I went under and then swam to the surface, nearly dodging him as he jumped in next to me. I backed up to avoid him and crashed into someone. It whirled around and saw Andy smiling sneakily. I thought "Oh shit." as he grabbed me and I felt him start tickling me. I screamed and splashed around in the water and when I got away from him, I took a deep breath and sunk under the surface. I was a pretty quick swimmer and I darted toward a pier that was anchored farther out. I came up for a gasp of air and turned to look at them. That was one thing, I was quick under water, but I didn't have a lot of breath.
They seemed kind of worried and I shouted "HEY! Looking for someone?" They smirked and started swimming towards me. They were pretty quick too. Shit. I took a big breath and disappeared under water. I just stayed in the same place, looking up. They stopped right above me and I smiled I swam so I was behind them and broke the surface silently. I smirked and swam up behind Ashley, careful not to touch any of them. I put my hands on his shoulders and pushed him down under the surface, then swam over him and took off towards the dock again.
I reached the dock and tried hauling myself up onto it, but someone grabbed my waist and said "Oh no you don't!" It was Ashley. Oh shit. He pulled me into the water and held me close to his body, then went under the surface with me. He looked at me through the murky water and smirked, allowing a few bubbles escape from his mouth. I didn't get a lot of breath before he pulled me under, and I was quickly running out. I looked up to the surface and looked back at him with a pleading look on my face. He had both my arms held too, so I couldn't move. I looked up quickly again and back to him. He shook his head no and I started squirming. He let my arms go and I tired pushing up on his shoulders but he just wouldn't let me go. I was starting to panic. He held me tightly though. He looked at me and looked like he wasn't even close to running out of air. He moved his hand up and brought my head in. He kissed me and took the last of my breath. By now, we had sunk the 15ft down to the bottom and were standing there. He stopped kissing me, and let me go. I darted up to the surface and broke it, taking a huge gasp of air. I was face-to-face with CC and I screamed. He laughed and then Ashley came up. I looked at him and playfully punched him in the chest.
"You're an ass."
He smirked, but put a hand to his heart, acting hurt and said "Whaa?? Me!?!? Well I never!" I rolled my eyes and hoisted myself up onto the dock after Ashley, who helped me up. I laid down in the warm sun and looked up into the sky. I closed my eyes to block out the sun and next thing I knew, I was being shaken awake. I opened my eyes and sat up, The guys were on the edge of the dock and looking at me. Ashley was the one who woke me up.
I sat up and he "It's getting late, we are going to race back to the beach." I got up and took my spot which was between Andy and Ashley.
CC shouted "GOO!!!!" And everyone jumped into the water. My body pierced the water as I took a breath and I darted under the guys and swam in front of them. I came up for a breath of air and I felt someone grab my foot and pull me under the water and I tried to scream but I was already under water. It was Ashley. He smiled allowing more bubbles to escape his mouth and he kissed me again. He took my breath away and I looked up to the surface. He let me go up and get a breath of air, and he did too, but then he pulled me back under the water and I glared at him, or tried to. I couldn't be mad at him. I felt one of his hands go inside my bikini bottom and slip into me. I wanted to moan but I couldn't. I smiled and he put in 2 fingers. He pumped them quickly in and out. Then he added 3. I couldn't take it. He saw that and pulled his hand out as I threw my head back. I swam to the surface took a deep breath.
He leaned over and whispered to me "I'll finish that when we get on the bus." I felt him grab my ass under the water and I smirked. I took a deep breath and went under the water. I darted to the shore and I was determined to make it without another breath. The guys were standing by the water, drying off. I felt the bottom getting close and I came up. I walked out of the water and Andy threw a towel at me. I caught it and dried myself off. We all walked back to the bus and while all the guys were taking turns getting dressed in the bathroom, they were all hanging out in the kitchen talking. I went to my bag and pulled my phone out and checked my messages. I had 2 voicemails and one of them was from my grandparents, the other one was from a blocked number.
Grandparents:"Raylee, please come home. We are worried sick about you. We're sorry."
The guys looked at me and had me play it over, on speaker though. They asked me if I was going to go home and I shook my head. Then they asked who my other voicemail was from and when I said I didn't know, they told me to play it on speaker too. I put it on speaker and listened as Andy walked out of the bathroom.
"You little slut!!! I will fucking kill you for what you did to me!!! I am going to kill your grandparents, then track you down and kill you and those gay faggots you're living with!!!" The line went dead and I stood there, shocked. My heart was beating fast and I couldn't breath.
Ashley wrapped me in a hug and said "Its ok Rie, you're safe with us. They won't find you. And what if they had the wrong number? Then that message might not even be directed towards you."
I calmed down after a while and we all sat down and watched another movie. I sat in between Andy and Ashley on the couch. I fell asleep about the last 15 minutes of the movie. When I woke up, someone was setting me in a bunk. It was Ashley.
I looked at him and he said "The guys think it's early still, they are going to go out to a bar and I'm going to go with them. Do you think you'll be ok here alone?"
I nodded and he said "Good." and he kissed me. I thought nothing of the message from earlier. I soon fell asleep again and when I woke up it was pitch black, pouring rain and there loud, deafening cracks of thunder and blinding flashes of lighting. I hated thunderstorms and the guys weren't back yet. There was a loud crack of thunder and I screamed. I burried my face in the pillow and covered my ears. There was another crack of thunder and I was shaking. Then, I felt someone put a hand on on my arm and I freaked. I screamed and slapped the arm. I heard Jinxx's voice.
"Woah, Rie, chill, its just me. I didn't feel right leaving you alone so I stayed behind and I was sleeping and heard you scream."
I looked at him and said "You heard me scream, but you didn't hear the thunder."
He shrugged and I asked what time it was and he said "Its 1:14 am...They guys left at like, 10....They are going to be completely wasted when they come back, just fyi. If I were you, I wouldn't want to stay with Ashley tonight, knowing him when he's drunk, he will either bring home a random girl or try to make a move on you. Do you want to sleep on the couch, or I could give you my bunk and I could sleep on the couch...Or we could sleep in the same bunk together."
I rolled my eyes and said "It doesn't matter."
"Ok...Well, if I do stay in the same bunk as you tonight, do you promise not to hit me anymore?"
I said yes and he helped me out of the bunk, then into his bunk. He climbed in next to me and put an arm around me and pulled me onto his chest. I closed my eyes and focused on his breathing which was steady and calming and I was starting to fall asleep when I heard the guys open the door and slam it behind them. They were all loud and yelling and laughing.
Jinxx said "He doesn't have a girl with him, so he's going to want you, if he even remembers."
I nodded and moved closer to him. I wan't ready to lose my virginity to a drunken man. Jinxx's grip on me tightened around my shoulders. I saw a light flick on through the curtain and I heard the guys walking around. Talking, more like shouting and laughing their asses off at nothing in particular. Then Jinxx's curtain flew open and Ashley stood there. The light was blinding.
I squinted and Ashley slurred "Dude, why are you in bed with Rayleee?"
Jinxx said "Because 1.You're drunk and 2.You don't have a slut with you, so that means you would make a move on Rie. She's 16 and your 19 and drunk. Plus she's still a virgin. You would hurt her dude."
He slurred "No I wouldn't. C'mon Rie." He grabbed my wrist and I pulled away. He looked at me, shocked and said in a more stern voice "Come on, Raylee."
I said, getting kind of scared "No."
Jinxx said "Ashley. You're scaring her, leave her alone."
Ashley wouldn't leave us alone and when he tried pushing Jinxx out of the way, Jinxx sat up and punched him right in the eye. He glared at Jinxx and disappeared somewhere, most likely to the bathroom. Jinxx shut the curtain and laid back down.
I whispered "Thank you."
He said "Its ok...You're shaking. Rie, its fine. He wouldn't have tried to do that if he wasn't drunk, don't worry. He won't try it again." I nodded and he held me on his chest. I soon fell asleep after the light turned off and I could hear the guys snoring.
