No

I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived at Amanda and Kayden’s that none of the guys were there. Amanda sent them out for a little while but they were coming back later. I just need to be gone before then. No big deal.

Amanda let us know the deal with Madison and Collier and what a blow up it was when I left. She said she felt bad for Madison and I had to agree. “Why are you two not together now, Ally? I mean he broke up with her because he wants you. Do you really not want him?” Amanda pushed.

“It’s complicated. And besides he is dating someone else. It obviously wasn’t about me. It was about Madison and I was just convenient,” I couldn’t believe I had said that out loud. It was true though, right? His new girlfriend was really pretty, has no baggage and seemed to think he hung the moon.

“Girl, you really are clueless aren’t you? He is in absolute love with you,” Amanda phished for more details.

I was saved by the door opening with all of the men and Collier’s new girlfriend arriving. Maybe saved isn’t the right word because the electricity amped up when he walked in. He was followed by none other than Asher. A quick hug from Collier had me melting. His girlfriend pulled him away and to a corner where she was obviously giving him a what for.

My eyes locked with Asher who approached me. Well, shit.

“Hey, Ally. I’m really sorry about everything. I had no right to push you. I know we are just friends. I’m okay with that. Can you forgive me?”

“Asher, it’s fine. I was stupid to think we would be okay to continue on as friends as we were. I’m sorry I put you in that situation,” I hoped it sounded sincere. I really just wanted him to leave me alone.

“Let me grab us a couple of drinks,” Asher offered.

“Yeah, sounds good. Let me run to the restroom really quick.”

I came back to an already opened beer which let’s be honest I needed it right now. I drank it pretty quickly while I chatted with Asher and Collier stared at me like he wanted to kill me.

About 15 minutes later my head was spinning and I felt like I was going to pass out. Amanda was near by and noticed and helped me to one of the upstairs rooms to lie down. Amanda went back downstairs and promised to be back to check on me in a few minutes.

I was really struggling at this point. Everything was spinning and I don’t even think I could tell you my name. I hear the door open quietly and try to turn my head to see who it is but I can’t see well enough to even be able to tell. I heard the door lock and knew something bad was happening.

Those eyes… it’s Collier! It’s fine…. “Collier?” I whined.

“No bitch, not Collier.”

Oh shit, it’s Asher and he sounds pissed. I tried to scream out for anyone. Amanda will be back in a few minutes. It’s okay. I keep repeating that in my head but I know it isn’t true. Asher tied my hands above my heads and bound my feet. I was steady trying to scream but nothing was coming out. The next thing I knew my mouth was gagged and my clothes had been ripped off of me. Tears started pouring and he leaned down and whispered in my ear “I am going to make sure this hurts you whore. You have been playing me for months. You took Collier from Madison. You are a terrible fucking person. You will suffer.” The next thing I remember was screaming with all my might while he rammed into me over and over. He hit me repeatedly while I tried to move to cover he laughed. No sound came out of my mouth. Just tears. I couldn’t think or process or fight. He finished and leaned down and whispered again in my ear “you won’t ever be safe from me. This is just the start.” He got up and I heard the door open. He left me there. Naked, bloody, and broken. I fought against the restraints but it made it worse. At some point someone would come up. Surely. I waited until eventually I passed out from the struggle and crying and the drugs.
