Orchid pulled up to a pretty nice looking restaurant. We'd decided to go out on a date for the day. We got out and I grabbed her hand.

   "Name's?" The lady at the front counter asked.

   "Orchid Eloise and Velvet Troint." Orchid said.

   The lady looked at some papers. "Ah! Here you are. I'll take you to your table. By the way, I love your music." She said to me.

   We sat down. I knew people were staring at us. I didn't really care though.

   "So." I say. "What are you getting?"

   "Hmmm," She looked through the menu. "The grilled cheese looks good. What about you?"

   I took a look at my menu. "I've got my eye on that steak."

   "There's steak?!" Orchid flipped the page. "Forget the grilled cheese, I'm getting that!"

-After they got their food-

   My eyes roll to the back of my head in delight. "This is so good!"

   "For real." Orchid agreed.

   We ate and talked until it was dark. I ended up going home with Orchid.

   I laid down next to her. But I couldn't sleep.

   "Orchid, are you awake?" I whispered.

   She flipped over to face me. "Can't sleep?"

   "Yeah."

   "Me neither." She whispered.

   "I have an idea." I say and kiss her.

   "Velvet, what'd are you doing?!" Orchid said nervously.

   I just kept kissing her. First her lips, then her neck...

   "NO!" She suddenly yells and sits up.

   I sit up. "Orchid? Baby did I hurt you?" I ask worriedly.

   She looks over at me. Her eyes were wide and she looked terrified. Her breathing was fast and heavy, and her lavender face was so light it was almost white.

   "Did I do something?" I ask.

   "N-no." She said quietly.

   "What is it?" I put my hand on her shoulder.

   "You'd probably think this was stupid, but I have PTSD." She whispered.

   "Of what?" I ask.

   "Of sex." She whispered.

   "WHAT?!" I yelled.

   "I knew you'd think it was dumb."

   "Orchid, it's not that, not at all. Who made you afraid of having sex?!" I say more quietly than before.

   "Um, her name was Lily." She whispered.

   Anger bubbled up inside me. "What did she do?"

   "Raped me."

   I stared at her. "She what?!"

   "Raped me." She was holding the collar of her shirt tightly.

   I hug her. "I'm sorry Orchid, I should have asked-"

   "It's okay. You didn't know about it." She kissed my cheek.

   "We could talk for a little while?" I offered.

   She smiled at me. "I like that idea."

   So that's what we did. And although I did still wanna kiss her in certain places, I didn't. If she wasn't ready then I was going to wait until she was.

Ritz's perspective:

   I stepped into the line with Venny. "So-"

   "Ritz!" Someone hissed behind me.

   I turned around and saw Lily. Orchid's ex.

   "Lily." I say with venom. My fists clenched and I fought the urge to punch her square in the nose.

   "UGH. Disgusting. You're here. And y-" She was cut off when she saw Venny. I knew she was just about to disrespect him.

   "OH MY GOD! Veneer! THE Veneer! Holy SHIT I can't believe it! Oh you're even better looking in person!" She squealed. And in seconds she was all over him. She pressed her hands against his chest and leaned in towards him. Lips puckered.

   "WHAT THE HELL!" Veneer exclaimed, immediately pushing her off of him.

   She was bewildered. She blinked. I grabbed Veneer's hand. And without thinking said: "Don't touch him you rapist!"

   "Why are you so protective of him hmmm? Are you in love with him?" She was all up in my face now.

   And still not thinking. "AS A MATTER-OF-FACT I AM!" I screamed in her face.

   "Ritz!" Heard Venny behind me. Shit.

   I looked around. People were recording the whole thing.

   "SHIT!" I hiss. I stomped away. Venny was right behind me.

   We left the store and sat in the car.

   "Goddammit." I muttered.

   "Hey, it's fine. I'm sure everyone ill just think I'm like, your celebrity crush or something." Venny said, putting his hand on my back.

   "I hope so. We don't need word getting out that we're dating." I say.

   He snorted. "You can say that again."

Velvet's perspective:

   My phone was blowing up with notifocations from every social. I grab it and click on Instagram. I went to my "Notifacations" and found that all the people who I was following were posting the same video. I click it.

   "Don't touch him you rapist!" Ritz was screaming at some girl. She had red hair and was wearing an orange sweater and jeans.

   Orchid came running from the kitchen. She sat down next to me and stared at my phone.

   "Why are you so protective of him? Are you in love with him?" The girl yelled.

   "UUUUUGGGGGHHHHH! LILY!" Orchid exclamed, her face red with anger.

   "The girl who raped you?!" I ask. She nodded.

   "AS A MATTER-OF-FACT I AM!" Ritz screamed in her.

   "Oh my God!" Someone behind the camera said.

   Ritz looked around. "SHIT!" He yelled, and stormed off, Veneer following close behind.

   The video ended and I shut my phone off. "C'mon!" Orchid suddenly exclaimed, walking towards the door.

   "Where are we going?" I ask.

   "Drug store." She says.

   "Where Ritz and Veneer are?" I asked.

   "You better believe it." She told me.

   We arrive at the drug store, there's a van that says: MPA NEWS. Oh boy.

   We walk in and I see Lily being interviewed. I looked at Orchid, her face was red with anger.

   "I'm minding my own business and hanging out with Veneer, my boyfriend-" Lily was saying.

   "Veneer is your boyfriend?" The news lady said with shock.

   "Yes, and then that random guy came up to me, told me not to touch my BOYFRIEND, and called me a rapist!" She finished.

   "Oh hell no!" Me and Orchid hiss.

   "MAYBE BECAUSE YOU ARE!" Orchid yelled. And stormed over. I like this plan.

   I follow her over. Blood boiling.

   "Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me?" Lily turned around. Then she paled.

   I walk up to the camera, grab the lady's microphone and say: "DO NOT believe a word this girl says! She's a lier! My brother is NOT her boyfriend, and she is rapist!" I look at Orchid.

   "It's true!" She exclaimed.

   The news lady turned to Orchid. "How do you know?" She asked.

   "Because I was her victim." She gulped.

   "YOU LITTLE BITCH!" Lily screamed. Then she slapped Orchid.

   I strutted over, grabbed her shirt, and looked her in the eye. "DO THAT AGAIN!" I yell at her.

   The little bitch stared at me in horror.
