Trigger Warning: Mention of sexual assault

I wake up with a pounding headache the next morning, my whole body felt like it was on fire. I moaned in pain, which seemed to startle the other person in the room.

"Morning darling,"

I sat up groggily, "What the fuck," I looked to my left, there was a man sitting on the chair by the bed I was in. He looked like he hasn't slept in days, his blue eyes dull and baggy.

"Who are you? What happened?"

He looked away awkwardly, " Listen, I think you need to come to that conclusion on your own"

Okay, the last thing I remember doing was dancing with Sammy and, oh he's the guy from the party.

"You're the guy from the party, the one who tried to fuck me, by the fridge" He smiled at that

I frowned, "Did we?" I gesture between us.

He shakes his head, "No no, but I would have liked that, trust me, keep thinking."

I try to rack my brain for details. The fridge, Sammy, then fridge guy again, and then the douche guy.

The douche guy!

I gasped, " oh my god. Did he-"

"No no no no no, I stooped him before anything could happen," He got up and left the room.

I needed to go home, talk to Sammy, and hopefully move past all the bullshit that's happened over the span of 24 hours. I wish I could just forget it all. I started tearing up, thinking about what could have happened to me, and before I knew it I was bawling.

When I heard tall guy starting up the stairs I tried to hold in my crying, which resulted in awkward hiccups. I tried to focus on something else in order to stop crying, like the fact that I still didn't know Mr. Mystery Man.

As if on cue, he walked into the bedw=room with a glass of water and a bottle of ibuprofen.

He handed them over, " Drink up, you need to rehydrate"

I drank the water and pills gingerly, "Thank You,"

He went to sit back down in the chair.

"Hey, um I just realized I don't know your name."

" My names Aiden, Aiden Walker. And yours?" He took back the glass.

"Oh um, Katie Welsh,"

He nodded, he did that a lot. I got up from the bed and realized I wasn't wearing any pants.

Aiden bit his lip, " Yeah, I thought it would be too weird for me to dress you"

"Thanks"

" So where are my pants?"

"They were torn." He went over to his, well I presumed it was his, dresser and pulled out a put a sweats, "Here, you can borrow some of mine"

I took the clothes and smiled, "Thank you," I looked around, "Where's your bathroom?"

Aiden pointed to the door across the hall from the open bedroom door. I nod and walk into the bathroom to change. I was shocked at how nice Aiden was being, I thought he was going to be a complete douche when I woke up. But I was pleasantly surprised.

After getting dressed I walked back into the bedroom, "Do you think you could take me home?"

"Yeah, of course. Where do you live?" He walked to his dresser and grabbed his keys.

"I live in the sorority house down the street. Alpha Beta Theta. Do you know it?

Aiden scoffed, "Do I know it? What kind of question is that? Of course, I know it. Let's go,"

He led me down the stairs and through the house. The living room was a complete mess. There were trash and vomit everywhere. When we got outside Aiden walked me to a red sports car, I didn't know what model it was, but it looked very expensive.

"Get in," He unlocked the car and I got in. I was pretty sure this was the most expensive thing I'd ever been in. The leather felt really nice, and the car's exterior was very sleek. The whole car just screamed trust fund.

Aiden got in as I buckled up my seat belt, "You ready to go?" I nodded, "Alright"

A kind of awkward silence fell between us. I wanted to bring up what happened last night after I passed out, but I didn't know how. Topics like that didn't make for light conversation.

After a few seconds of deliberation, I decided to just go for it.

"So, what happened to the guy who," I couldn't finish the sentence.

Aiden shifted in his seat, "Well after I punched him, I went over to check on you, and I guess he ran away after that. I didn't recognize him so he wasn't apart of our frat."

Just as he finished speaking we pulled up to the house and I started to get out of the car, but then I thought better of it, turned arounf=d and gave Aiden a kiss on the cheek. I looked away blushing.

"Thanks for uh saving me," He smiled at me. He had a very pretty smile.

"Anytime time, darling," I don't know if it was the drugs or my tiredness, but I was just now realizing that Aiden had a soft southern accent. I could only really hear it when he called me darling. Somehow that just added to his sexiness.

"Alright well, I'm gonna go now" I pulled open the door. Aiden laughed at my awkwardness.

I closed the door just as Aiden said, "See you 'round darling," He drove off.

I walked into the house and went up to my and Sammys shared bedroom. I walked Into Sammy pacing back and forth. When she saw me, she let out a relieved sigh and rushed over to give hug me.

"Oh my god. Where were you, I've been freaking out for like 8 hours. I was worried sick, anything could have happened to you," She tightened her grip on me," It would have been my fault if anything happened to you."

She started to cry, and I didn't know what to do do. If I told her the truth than she would just blame herself and never let it go. So I didn't tell her; out of worry for her mental health.

I grabbed her shoulders and pushed her so that we were face to face, "Hey nothing happened alright, I was just too tired to go home so A friend let me crash in his room." I reassured her.

Sammy frowned, "Since when were you friends with anyone in the Frat?"

I didn't know what to say, so I came up with the best thing on the spot, 'Oh we don't know each other that well, were just a part of the same study group," Understanding flashed across her face, and I knew I was In the clear.

"Listen I'm really tired so I think I'm gonna go to bed," I walked over and laid down.

Sympathy crossed Sammy's face, "You must feel terrible," and I did, the ibuprofen Aiden gave me did very little to help the pounding in my head," I'll just be downstairs, holler if you need anything,"

I smiled in thanks, "Will do,"

I spent the rest of the day coming in and out of sleep, and anytime I was awake, I thought about a certain blue-eyed boy, and anytime I slept, all I could dream about were two crystalline blue eyes.
