***WARNING! MENTION OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT***
I tried to calm myself.
No matter how hard it is for me, I don't want to ruin this night.
I knew this was going to happen eventually.
I breathe deeply and then wipe my face clean.
I sighed and check myself in the mirror for the last time before walking out of the rest room.
I was just right on time when they turn on the lights.
Everyone was screaming surprise..
I did the same.
My eyes spotted Sarah on the middle.
She was really happy.
I walked closer to her.
She notice me immediately.
She held my hand.
"I have great news!" She said estatically.
I already know what it was but I pretended to be clueless.
I'm sure she'll tell me that their relationship is official now.
Endure it Olivia.. just a few more hours. I said to myself.
Lacey was overwhelm with the surprise. She thank us all for our hardwork.
Sarah and I sat on the poolside.
She showed me a phone chain with a guitar design. Her initial was there "O ❤ S" I force another smile.
"Your brother is so sweet right?" She said giggling.
I nodded.
"I'm happy that you're happy." I said then look at the other side away from her gaze.
I can feel my tears forming again.
Sh-t!
I don't want her to notice it.
I stood up.
"Want to dance?" I asked.
She was surprised for a second.
But she stood up anyway when I pulled her up.
We dance casually.
The music was a happy bubbly song. Not sensual or anything.
She was jumping gleefully with the song.
I did the same..
We laugh at how silly we dance.
A few minutes later we took a break.
I was just drinking water.
I didn't plan to drink alcohol today. I still have a long travel tomorrow back to LA.
She got a call from Oli.
I gave her some privacy.
She walk outside of the house since the music was too loud.
I felt a hand caress my back.
It was Stella.
"Hey Cutie! Miss me?" She said seductively.
I moved away from her.
I'm still not okay with how she acted the last time we had the party together.
"C'mon stop playing hard to get." She said a bit too flirty.
I think she's intoxicated.
I offered her a glass of water.
I motion for her to sit.
I was just being nice since she's acting weird right now.
More revealing and liberated than usual.
I went outside to checked on Sarah.
She was still busy talking to Oli on the phone.
Stella pull my arm.
"Dance with me.." she whimpered.
Geez! Can this girl just stop already.
I tried to push her back to her seat.
She wrap her arms around my neck.
I sighed.
Fine.. just one dance, I can just let her have this.
I pull away from her touch then held her hand firmly.
"One dance that's all." I said seriously.
She just flash me a flirty smile.
The beat of music changed into a more sensual type..
Great just great! I groan with a sarcastic tone.
Everyone was pushing, grinding, jumping and sticking their body with each other.
Stella made sure to pull me as close as she can.
She whispered in my ear.
"You're barely dancing.. Do you want me to do something naughty?" She suddenly lick my ear.
I jolt away from her touch.
She just laughed at my reaction.
My eyes landed on Sarah again. She was still talking to Oli on the phone as she stood behind the door.
I wanted to stop..
I don't want to think about her anymore.
Not tonight.
I wrap my arms around Stella's back.
She was really doing her best to seduce me.
I'm not really attracted to her but I did what I thought I needed to do to forget about the pain.
We dance like crazy in the dance floor.
After the beat became slower she grab my hand and drag me to the kitchen.
I guess she doesn't like slow music.
She took a hard drink. She offered me one but I decline.
I just took another glass of water.
After awhile, I drop my cup and excuse myself to use the rest room. I needed to pee.
I thought she'll be gone when I get back but she was there standing and waiting for me.
She handed my water back to me and smiled.
I smiled back.
Atleast she's behaving..
"So where's ginger?" She asked curiously.
"Can you just call her Sarah.. it's not like you don't know her name." I replied.
"So where is she?" She asked me again while ignoring my request.
"Probably busy.." I mumbled.
I suddenly felt my head aching. My eyes are getting heavy too.
What is this?
I didn't even drink anything tonight..
My vision is getting blurry.
Then I felt myself getting dizzy.
"Are you okay?" I heard Stella spoke.
She help me balance myself.
She was trying to bring me upstairs.
Sh-t!
Did she put something on my drink?
She struggle to put me in one of the vacant room.
It was dark.
She let me rest on the bed.
Oh my God!
What the hell is she planning to do?
I can feel her roaming her hands on my thighs. She was teasing me.
I tried to push her away.
I was feeling weak.
She crawled on top of me.
She was kissing my neck.
I beg her to stop.
She went higher and reach my ear.
"Stop resisting me.." she whisper.
My whole body shiver.
I can feel her trying to pull up my shirt.
I tried to push her again.
Her attention was back on my thighs then she caress them upward.
then she proceeded to unbotton my pants.
This is bad!
Really bad.
She pull it down.
I heard her gasp and then she curse under her breath.
I think she already found out the truth about me by now.
She suddenly rub me through my underwear.
Sh-t! Why isn't she stopping?
She kiss me hard again.
"No wonder why you're soft.." she whispered then she bit my lip.
I groaned again.
I feel my tears falling.
I prayed for someone to come and save me.
"So you're girl? Huh?.. Don't worry I'll make sure you enjoy this. I don't care.. I will still have you." She said as she bit my ear.
I was too weak to move until we heard the door open.
I was hoping to see Sarah.
"The f-ck! Get out b-tch!" It was Tori yelling at Stella.
She yank Stella's hands away from me.
Stella struggle to put back her clothes.
"She's a girl!" Stella argued.
Tori grab her by the throat. She was glaring at her.
"You tell a single soul about Oli and I'll destroy you! You know I can." She threaten her.. or maybe warned her? I don't know but her voice was stern and serious.
I heard Stella ran away.
I covered my eyes with my arm. I was ashamed.
My head is really dizzy too.
I can barely move.
I can't believe I was almost...
Tori locked the door.
She was about to turn on the lights but I stop her.
"Please don't.." my voice was crack.
She gently approach me.
She covered my body with a blanket.
"Don't worry you're safe now." She said softly.
"Do you want me to call Sarah?" She asked.
I shook my head.
"Okay.. You can stay here in my room. No one's gonna hurt you now. I promise." She said while trying to caress my hand gently.
I flinch away from her touch.
I didn't mean to..
She was about to leave the room when I spoke to her again.
"Can you stay?" I asked shyly.
I moved from the bed to give her space.
"Do you want me to lay down?" She spoke softly and slowly like she was careful not to give me the wrong impression.
I nodded gently.
She lie down next to me. She gently wrap her arms around me.
I let her.
I feel much safer now.
"You sure you don't want me to call Sarah?" She asked softly again.
"I don't want her to worry. Thanks for saving me." I replied while letting my head rest on her chest.
She rub my back gently.
"Why aren't you surprise about me being.. you know.. a girl?" I was really curious.
She wasn't a bit surprise at all.
"I had my suspicions for a while now. I just didn't have a proof." She replied.
I look up at her.
There was a little dim light passing through so I can still see her face.
"Don't worry.. your secret is safe with me." She smiled warmly.
"Please don't be mad at Sarah.." I whispered.
She giggle softly.
"I'm not mad silly.. I thought it was weird but Sarah is my sister now. I will always have her back." She said winking.
Tori is an amazing person.
I held her tighter.
She was surprise with my sudden gesture.
"Sorry.." I mumbled again.
She just giggle.
She's really cute.
"So what's your real name?" She asked.
"Olivia.." I replied smiling.
"Nice name.." she complimented me.
We became silent for a minute.
"Are you and Sarah.. um.. dating for real?" She asked unsure
I shook my head.
"She's my best friend.. she's dating my brother. The real Oli." I replied.
Her eyes widen in disbelief.
"Oh so Oli really exist!?" She said a bit louder.
"He's real but I've been pretending to be him since I enrolled here." I replied honestly.
"So I never met him?" She asked.
I nodded.
She smiled again.
"So why are you pretending if Sarah is dating the real Oli?" She asked.
"It's a long story.. You're part of the reason. Sarah wanted to impress you. Oli and Sarah started dating recently. It's my last day here. I'm going back to LA tomorrow." I explained.
She was shocked.
"Sarah is a bit weird.." she mumbled.
We both laughed silently.
"I wish you'll stay longer.. I really like you Olivia." She said softly.
What she said made me blush.
"Maybe you can visit me in LA?" I suggested.
"Maybe.." she said smiling sweetly at me.
She kiss my head gently.
"Go to sleep. I'll text Sarah for you." She said lastly.
I slept comfortably beside her.
It was really comforting.
---
I woke up early.
It was still 4am in the morning.
Tori sat up and rub her eyes gently.
"You're leaving?" She asked.
"I don't want to miss my ride. I still need to pack my things. I also don't want to wake the other girls up. Sarah is just sleeping next door." I whispered.
She nodded smiling.
"Stay in touch Olivia.." she said smiling warmly at me.
I walk closer to her.
"Thanks for everything.. Please don't tell Sarah about last night. I owe you big time. One day I'm going to repay you back. I promise." I said while squeezing her hand.
"Sure.."she hug me one last time then I left the room.
I open Sarah's room silently.
I just want to have one final glance at her. I know she's still sleeping.
"Good bye Sar.. I'm sorry I broke our contract. I hope you always take care of yourself while I'm away." I mumbled.
I closed the door gently and turn to leave.
