Warning: mature theme, violence and sexual harass

Annabelle's POV
This was it, I had hit rock bottom the week went by and so did the days and everything around it, I didn't see my friends cause it was exam month and your girl Annabelle was in a major problem, I was on the verge of breaking down, how did I get here I don't know, but I certainly sure winter break was going to be bad.

I was caught cheating, technically I wasn't, the guy behind me was helping a friend and I manage to get myself involved, he asked for me to help and in the process the paper was in my hands, I was facing expulsion here maybe, and it all happened during philosophy, my whole exams felt worst, I was under observation the whole time, and I don't even know a way out of this, if I don't provide a possible evidence or proof, I'm done.

The guy behind me wasn't talking either, so I didn't know my fate and was definitely not going to tell my parents, they'll freak I know I didn't do anything wrong, but it's not like they'll believe me, my fate will be decided when we resume fully next semester, so the tension was up, I'll be leaving for the break in two days, and well Chad noticed I've been off the whole week, and I didn't want to tell him either, with his problem I didn't want to add to it.

"Okay the jig is up, tell me?" He came to sit with me on the couch, I was seated with my legs crossed wrapped in a blanket thinking.

"Tell you what?" I tried to play dumb, but I couldn't fool him, he already figured it out, he always does.

"When were you going to tell me, you're on the verge of explosion?" He looked really furious.

"Because I'm not, at least not yet."

"How did it happen, tell me you didn't, please tell me," he clench his fist.

"You know me better than that, I just wish the guy behinds me comes clean, I can't survive Christmas with that tension." I confessed, telling him how it happened and how I think it may have affected my remaining papers.

"What's his name?" he asked.

"I don't know, I didn't ask," what is he going to do.

"Can you at least describe anything?" he looked anxious waiting for my answer.

"Yeah that I do, what are you going to do?" I asked.

"Make things right." he simply said, so I decided not to tell him. I didn't want him doing anything crazy that'll get him in trouble too. He kept on convincing me but i made sure I didn't give him anything, he later gave up and retired to bed early, while I made a few calls before going to bed, it's been weeks since I saw Jason, he'll be happy to hear this not. Oh brother, so I facetime him.

Me
Hey handsome, I missed you.

Jason
Missed you more, is that a sad face I see?

Me
How you been? I just finished my exams I'll be home this weekend.

Jason
You still haven't answered the question, what's wrong?

Me
It's nothing really, I just miss you.

Jason
Sorry I have to go, I need to handle something.

Me
Who's that?

And the line goes off, I could have sworn someone came in, or maybe I was imagining things, these days I hardly get a full conversation with Jason, someone or something always interrupts, I guess harvard is demanding for him. Wrapping myself in the blanket I decided to sleep in the couch tonight, i didn't feel like moving and it felt comfortable already, or its fear that's creeping into me.

*****
I was woken up by three in the morning, by a not so quiet Chad trying to sneak in, looking over at him I realise he was bleeding on the face, and his knuckles were so bloody, did he get into a fight oh my god, where could he be coming from late this hour, tossing my blanket over I run to him.

"what happened to you, when did you?" I was cut off guard when he trips and falls on me, he was drunk and wounded, where did he go. Helping him go over to the couch I help him sit up right before rushing to get a first aid kit.

"Why don't you love me Annabelle?" He cuts me off when walking in.

"Of course I do Chad, now show me your hands." I held it rubbing ointments on it, before he pulled away.

"I'll do it, I don't need you," I was hurt by that, but he was drunk he couldn't possibly mean it "why do you hang with Brandon, kissing him but always so careful with me Am I not enough?" he added.

"Okay where is this coming from, are you okay?" I tried to touch his forehead to feel his temperature, but he pushes my hand away.

"For the record, you're welcome, I spoke with the guy and well I had to out drink him to get him confess he framed you, and judging by my appearance, I failed you princess." he what I was mad at him quiet alright, but he just risk his life for me, isn't that something, but how did he find him "you really think you could hide from me, my dad's the Chancellor Annabelle, of course he'll know the guy and you." he smiled before letting out a crazy cute laugh.

"Who asked you to save me, you don't always have to you know that right." I grab him this time continuing with his treatment.

"Am your rock, okay don't fight it, I love you Annabelle," with that being said he retired, guess the drink really knocked him out.  Fixing him up, though I couldn't help but admire him I kept thinking of what he said, did he really mean it or that's just too much drinking, I can't believe he did that but to be on a safer side I'll be leaving tomorrow, I don't need two days anymore. I used the blankets on the couch and covered him right up before going in the kitchen to get myself a bottle of water.

"Jesus, Amber you startled me," I met her lying on the kitchen tiles "are you okay?" I tapped her.

"Don't tell Chad please." she whined at me, obviously she was drunk too, does that run in the family too getting drunk, I wonder where she went to anyway, definitely hanging out with frat guys too, apparently she's eighteen and here she is getting into trouble and hanging with college kids according to Chad, she'll be off to college next year that for sure, wonder if she'll be in CSU too.

Helping her I wash her face off, apparently she was extremely wasted and just finish throwing up in the bushes outside, I wonder why their parents hardly involve themselves in their children's life, cause here's their teenage daughter sleeping late, hanging with frat guys with her college brother. I guess they trust him, but Amber is something else, after the wash off I take her up to her room, before finally having time for myself.

Grabbing my phone by the table I see a message from an unknown number.

Your boy really came through, it's Okay I'll do it, at least the chancellors son will definitely get it with this. If you want to help him come to the frat house.

I immediately knew who it was, of course they caused it they attached the video to the message, It was a video of Chad fighting with a bunch of boys drunk and on campus,  if his dad sees this he'll be in trouble for sure, what do I do, and the fight just had to be on school's ground, how do I help him.

Grabbing my things, I decided to drive to school, it wasn't far and well I knew the place the boy framed me was. I manage to get there safe and no questions asked, and went straight to the twins frat house, it was already four in the morning, but to them it was like seven in the evening, they were all wide awake, the moment I entered they knew what I was here to do. I know I swore never to go back, thanks to Shane, but I needed to help Chad now, he has done enough for me.

"Good you came." he smiled at me knowing his threat worked, slowly backing away I kept my distance before speaking.

"What do you want for the video?" My voice shaking you could hear it I asked.

"You!" He broke the space between us caressing my face.

"Not possible." I stepped away knowing this was definitely not good, I was like the only female there, who well wasn't on a guys lap on throat at the moment.

"Then no deal, am sure he'll go easy on him, but don't worry I'll confess to the crime, I just needed him." he winked at me licking his lips.

"What did I ever do to you, why me?" I sounded scare but I was serious.

"Let's just say, your old secrets caught up with you, party girl," and the whole frat went on laughing, this has Bradley and Allison written all over it, I need to get out of here, making my way to the door I felt a familiar scent near me of course he would be here too.

"Shane!" I let out, my heart beating uncontrollable now.

"She knows my name, glad you're back." he pinned me to the door, I couldn't move he was too strong and I was weak, using his knee to hold my body against the door, he used his tongue to lick my face slowly, I can't believe it, was this a trap, before I could utter my next words his lips captured mine digging his way to my throat, he was moving roughly, I couldn't do anything he overpowered me, he was about to slip his hands into my dress when someone pulled him to the ground.
