I giggle with Elizabeth when I hang up the phone.

"I'm so tired!" She slurs.

"Me too." I mutter, but despite the ache in my feet, I continue to dance as though my feet were on fire.

Half an hour later, I feel a slight vibration in my pocket and ignore it.

"I'm gonna get a driiinnkk." Elizabeth mutters.

I follow her inside the kitchen on the second floor.

Taking out my phone, I check my messages.

Lennon
Where are you?! I'm here!

I roll my eyes and pocket my phone. I would not have called her if I had known she would react like this.

"Hey!" A voice shouts above the music blasting from all over.

Walking in my direction is Rowan with a frown. It's really misplaced on his face.

"Come on, Lennon and I have been searching everywhere for you." He grabs my arm and starts to drag me out, but I protest and Elizabeth comes to my aid.

"If she doesn't want to go, she shouldn't have toooo!" She sounds confident, but the alcohol slurs her words near the end.

Rowan glances at her before grabbing Elizabeth as well and dragging us both out of the kitchen.

"This house is huuuuge!" I slur as Rowan drags us down the stairs. "It has twooo kitchenssssss!"

He looks around the downstairs dancing area before catching sight of something and dragging us off.

"Hey," Rowan says to a familiar figure in a softer voice than he used for us. "Are you okay?"

The figure turns around and through my hazy state, I can just about make out Lennon's familiar face. I feel a sense of relief and annoyance as well.

She's late.

"Lennon it's about time you showed up. I called you an hour ago." I complain as she puts her arm around me. I slump against her and immediately feel the relief in my feet.

She ignores my complaining and helps me down the porch steps and to Rowan's jeep.

She puts me in first and Elizabeth comes in next.

Elizabeth protests but we all ignore her. Rowan asks for her adress but she refuses to give it. After a while of persuading and arguing, she finally realizes that there's no getting out of it and gives Rowan her address.

I soon fall asleep long before we reach her house.

"Raven time to get up!" Someone yells and shakes my foot. I groan a little and stir a bit.

"Raven wake up!" The same person yells in my ear.

"Jesus Christ." I jump up and rub my ear. "Was that really necessary?"

"We are home. Hurry up Rowan needs to get home." Lennon says.

Internally rolling my eyes I get up, but slip and land on the floor. "Shit!"

Lennon groans and reluctantly helps me get to my feet.

"Please text me when you get home." Lennon says to Rowan as she wraps an arm around me to help steady me.

"I will." He says before leaving.

Lennon doesn't bother with the stairs and instead puts me to rest on the couch.

"I can't sleep down here!" I cry, feeling more aware of my surrounding after having fallen getting up the porch steps.

"Well you're going to have to. If you can't even make it up the porch stairs with my help then there's no way we are going to make it up the stairs." She sits down and pulls off my boots.

I glance at my boots and frown. "You stole my boots too."

She rolls her eyes at me. "Sorry but I was trying to get to you as fast as I could."

Yet you were still an hour late.

"Whatever." I say instead with a roll of my eyes. "But if I sleep down here than mom and dad will know somethings up."

She shrugs her shoulders. "Not my problem." She walks over to the closet and throws my boots inside.

"Seriously. I can't get grounded again." I complain, not wanting to go through that again.

Taking off her jacket she ignores eye contact with me. "Raven, do you even realize how much danger you put yourself into tonight by being this drunk? You could have gotten alcohol poisoning and been hospitalized, or you could have died in a car wreck if you went home with Elizabeth. Someone could have taken advantave of you. Do you really want to get raped by someone Raven?" She raises her voice.

I feel anger and jealousy boil up inside at the way she's talking to me. "Oh how would you know miss perfect? I bet you haven't had a single thing go wrong in your entire life. I understand why you have no friends now. You suck the fun out of everything. Elizabeth and I just wanted to have a good time. There's no harm in having fun." I hiss. All the anger and jealousy I have felt towards her these past months seep into those words as I lay my head on the cushion of the couch.

"You don't know a single thing about me." She exclaims back.

Flicking my wrist in the air I point at her. "I know your whole life has been this perfect little present with a bright red fucking bow on top. You don't know a single thing about pain or disappointment." I tell her and it's true. It's always Lennon this and Lennon that, Raven did this, Raven did that. I never get appreciated or praised, only scolded at and it's always perfect little Lenny and her perfect little life.

"I can wrote a whole book on pain. About how I went to a party just like you and was raped. I was raped and have to live with that for the rest of my damn life. What do you have to lose with not getting a date to the dance. Big freaking whop. I would give anything to be like you. Pure and untouched by that monster. You don't know what I've been through so you better shut the hell up and go to sleep before I go up there and tell them what it is you were doing all night long because it sure as hell wasn't studying."

I look at her shocked. "You were raped?"

She doesn't answer but instead walks up the stairs and probably into her room.

I stay laying on the couch and staring at the ceiling in shock before the alcohol pulls me down and off into slumber once more.

***

I'm awoken in the morning with someone shaking my shoulder.

"Raven, wake up." My mom says holding an energetic Dakota.

As my eyes adjust to the light and my head to the constant beating inside, all the memories from last night come rushing back to me.

"Mom!" I exclaim startling her. "L-last night I went to a party when I was supposed to be studying a-and I got drunk and called Lennon and she came and brought me home a-and then we got into a huge fight for no reason and then-then, mom, Lennon was raped!" I wail as tears stream down my face and my stomach twists in guilt at the confession.

She looks at me shocked. "What?" She asks me.

"What's going on?" My dad asks as he comes into the living room rubbing his eyes. "What's with the crying and screaming?"

"D-dad! L-Lennon was r-raped!"

His eyes widen and he stares at my mom who stares back at me.

She hands him Dakota and he takes him with no question.

Sitting down next to me on the couch she touches my forehead. "Are you still drunk? How many fingers am I holding up?"

"Three mom, three! And I'm not drunk! Lennon was raped! She told me!"

They stare at me for a while. "We will talk about this later, if Lennon truly was raped, she would have told us. Where is your sister anyways?" Mom says.

"Upstairs in her room?" I question.

Mom gets up and dad takes Dakota to the kitchen.

They don't believe me.

You never gave them reason to.

I scowl at my inner voice. This whole time I thought Lennon was perfect Lenny with her perfect little life. I never would have guessed in a million years that she was holding down that pain, that she had gone through that pain. All on her own.

My jealousy and anger towards her dims and I feel stupid. I never should have said anything that I said to her. I deserve all that she called me and worse.

"She's not there!" Mom says running back downstairs.

My dad comes running out of the kitchen leaving Dakota on his high chair. "What do you mean she's not-"

The phone then rings cutting dad off and mom goes to pick it up.

"Hello?" Mom asks as she picks up the phone. She gasps and tears well in her eyes. "Yes, I'm on my way."

Hanging up the phone she turns to us. "Lennon is at the police station to report sexual assault."
