-
- When the weather began to thaw Ryan began working at his dad's
- construction company, something he'd done since puberty. It was hard
- work, but it worked his body out well enough he supposed. He worked on
- the weekends, which meant he had less time to spend with Jen and his
- friends, but he was making a lot of money. He vowed to save it so he
- could get a car as soon as he got his license. He turned sixteen in
- November, and he calculated how many hours he would have to work till then
- to get a car. Plus, he wanted to get something really nice for Jen on
- their anniversary.
- In May Jen got a letter from Danny, the guy she'd broken up with
- when she'd first met Ryan. He'd moved away to Washington state about two
- months before. She hadn't really spoken to him since they'd broken up.
- The letter first off said how sorry he was that he'd treated her
- so badly, and how he realized now what a good thing he'd given up. It
- continued,
-
- "I know you've got a good thing going with that guy Ryan. (At
- least you did last I heard--are you still going out?) But I've never
- stopped loving you, which may sound strange considering the shitty way I
- treated you. I want you to realize that it wasn't because of anything you
- did, but because I was scared that if I was too strong you'd get sick of
- me and break up with me. You were my first real girlfriend and I guess I
- didn't know how to act. There's no "girlfriend manual" (that's suppose to
- be a joke ha ha). Of course I blew it. You're probably wondering why I'm
- even writing you, but I kinda hoped we can be friends still. If you don't
- want to be than you don't have to write me back. It sucks here by the
- way.
-
- Love, Danny Muir Ps Your boyfriend is a lucky guy"
-
- Jen was blown away. She'd tried to forget Danny, he'd hurt her a
- lot. But she didn't hate him. She planned on writing him back.
- She wasn't going to say anything to Ryan, but one night when they
- were on the phone she did anyway. He was watching TV and not really
- talking to her. She tried to get his attention.
- "Hey, guess who I got a letter from the other day," she said
- mysteriously.
- "Ed MacMahon," Ryan said sarcastically. "You've won a million
- dollars. Wanna share the wealth?"
- "No," she said triumphantly. "Remember Danny Muir?"
- That got his attention. "Danny Muir?" he asked. "That guy you
- broke up with to go out with me?"
- "Well, Ryan," she said. "Uh, I didn't break up with him so I could
- go out with you. We'd broken up before I met you. Or we did like right
- after. Don't you remember?"
- "Oh, yeah, I guess," he said sullenly.
- She didn't like his tone. They'd never fought before and it upset
- her.
- "Well?" he demanded.
- "Well what?"
- "What did old Danny boy want?" he asked.
- "Oh, nothing. . . " she answered, playing with her fingernails and
- wondering why he was being like this.
- "Well, obviously he wanted something if he wrote you. What did he
- say?"
- "How about if I read you the letter?" she asked sarcastically.
- "Yeah, read it to me."
- "Fine!"
- She got the letter out and started to read it. After she read
- where it said, "I know you have a good thing going with that guy Ryan,"
- Ryan interrupted, saying, "That's right."
- She ignored him and continued, skipping the part where he asked if
- they were still together. She considered skipping the next line as well,
- but didn't. "'But I've never stopped loving you, which. . .'"
- Ryan interrupted her again in a disgusted tone, saying, "Yeah,
- sure. He never loved *you.*"
- "Excuse me?" she demanded, hurt.
- "What? He didn't love you. I love you. I mean, you guys were
- only going out for like--not even a month, right?"
- "So?" She didn't know why she said that, she understood his point,
- but was still hurt by his attitude.
- "What do you mean 'so?'? Danny was a mistake for you," he said
- decidedly.
- "Fuck you!" she snapped. "Where the fuck do you get off analyzing
- every relationship I've had? You've never even met Danny! I would not
- say he was a mistake," she said, trying to hurt him.
- He made a disgusted sound. "Oh, yeah right. So, what, why's he
- even writing you? He obviously wants something from you."
- "Yeah, you didn't even let me finish reading the letter. You were
- too busy spazzing out. Maybe he wants to be friends with me. You know,
- there's no law that says we can't be friends."
- "Uh, excuse me? Maybe there's my law."
- "Oh, my God I can't believe this! Why the hell are you being like
- this?"
- "Like WHAT?"
- "I can't believe this. Fuck you Ryan. Fuck you." She slammed the
- phone down, then took it off the hook so she could explain to herself that
- he was probably trying to call her back.
- Ryan heard the click and slammed his own receiver down. He was so
- pissed. He was pissed off at himself, mainly, he never meant to tell Jen
- what to do. Or who she could be friends with. But the idea of another
- guy telling Jen that he loved her forced something inside him to snap.
- "Dammit," he muttered to himself, punching his pillow. He'd been
- nearly asleep when she'd called. He was so exhausted anyway, he'd worked
- hard that weekend and was up late last night doing his homework. I'm
- working hard for her, he thought. She's probably not even grateful. He
- felt a twinge of pain in his heart, knowing she would be grateful if she
- knew he was working for her.
- He dialed her number; it was busy. Big surprise, he thought to
- himself, she's probably calling everyone we know and telling them what
- happened so they can hate me. He dialed Josh's number.
- "Hullo?" said Josh.
- "'Sup?"
- "Nothin'."
- "Dude, my girlfriend just went ballistic on me. . . " complained
- Ryan.
- "What happened?"
- "Fuck. She got some letter from her ex-boyfriend who's all, 'I
- still love you. . . '" he said in a high whiny voice. "And she's like,
- 'Oh, me and him can be friends!'" he said, imitating Jen in a gung-ho sort
- of voice.
- "Not," agreed Josh.
- "No shit, huh?" he said, disgusted. "And I told her that and she
- like spazzed and hung up on me."
- "This happen just now?"
- "Yeah. . . "
- "Shit. You should just dump her dude. I mean, she's a hella prude
- anyway."
- Ryan paused. "She's not a prude," he said defensively. "She's
- just a virgin--that's different."
- "Yeah, and you're one too because of it. Dude, I swear, you don't
- need this shit. I mean, you can stay together with this chick--and don't
- get me wrong, I like Jen, I do--but it's like, you can't let her run
- everything, you know what I mean?"
- "I suppose," he said, thinking it over.
- "Any other girl would gladly have you."
- "You think so?"
- "I know so. Dude, hella skirts are always coming up to me, 'Does
- your friend Ryan have a girlfriend? He's cuuuuuuuuuute!'" he said in a
- girlish voice. "I mean, think about it!"
- "Yeah, but dude, I mean, I really like this girl," he said.
- Josh paused. "Well, I guess. If that's the way you want it or
- whatever. I mean, I think you shouldn't call her back and kiss her ass
- though. If you're gonna have a serious girlfriend, you need to keep your
- nuts intact."
- "Yeah, I'm not gonna call her."
- "Dude, I gotta go. Alicia's on the other line."
- "Fine. Later."
- "Bye."
- Ryan laid on his back, staring at the ceiling. His eyes welled up
- with tears, and he squeezed his eyes shut tight so one rolled out down his
- face and onto his pillow. Fuck Jen, he said several times. I'm not going
- to call her back, he promised himself. He stared at his phone, picturing
- Jen dialing his number right this minute.
- "I'm sorry we fought Ry," she would whine. "I'm sorry I was such a
- bitch. . . "
- Ryan thought of all the things he could say. Then he thought of
- all the things he could have said differently. He should have calmly
- asked her how she felt about the letter. He rolled his eyes, thinking he
- sounded like one of those new-aged psychoanalysts: "Let's all get in touch
- with our feelings!"
- He tossed and turned in bed, wishing he could go back in time a
- few hours. He heard his parents go to bed, heard the dishwasher's quiet
- hum. He wondered if she was still his girlfriend. She'd said "Fuck you"
- to him. Did she mean it like, "'fuck you' fuck-you", or like, "fuck
- *you*! we're through! fuck-you?"
- Ryan laid in bed for several hours. He squeezed out a few more
- tears, as many as he could to feel more sorry for himself. His clock read
- 1: 36 am. Jen was probably asleep by now. He wished he was asleep. He
- could call her and hope she answered before her parents, but they'd
- probably be woken up and pissed off at him. He pictured her dad pummeling
- him for calling so late. That brought a smile to his face anyway.
- His wild imagination kicked in, and he imagined her stealing her
- parent's credit card tomorrow morning, cutting school and flying up to see
- Danny wherever he lived, Washington or Oregon or something. He saw her,
- seductively removing her clothes and spreading her legs for Danny, moaning
- that she wanted him. Danny would be on her in a flash. He probably has a
- huge dick too, thought Ryan. He imagined Jen telling her girlfriends all
- about its length and girth.
- She's not a prude, he thought defensively. Man, he thought
- angrily, I have to apologize. It's my damn fault. I bet she'll never
- forgive me. She probably thinks I'm some possessive psycho who would have
- started beating her anyway. "The first sign was when he started telling
- me who my friends could be!" he pictured Jen crying, while on Oprah or
- Sally Jessey Raphael or some shit.
- Fuck, he thought, getting up. He didn't have a dime or he could
- call a cab. He considered stealing money from his mom's purse, but upon
- investigation it was nowhere to be found, it must be in her bedroom. He
- could steal the car. He could drive perfectly. But there's no way his
- parents wouldn't wake up though, and plus, he'd be grounded forever and
- then he'd never get his license. He looked around the dark kitchen, and
- turned on the light over the table. He got out a pad of paper and a pen.
- "Dear Jen," he wrote. "I'm sorry. I'm a jerk. Please forgive me?
- I love you. -Ryan".
- He rewrote it a couple of times, so the writing was neat and not
- scribbled. He added in, "I was totally wrong. Please give me another
- chance," in place of "I'm a jerk," and "Please forgive me." It sounded
- more serious. He folded it up neatly and wrote "Jen" on the outside.
- He got his warm jacket and jeans on, and put his baseball hat on.
- He took his bike out of the side garage door, wheeling it out and opening
- the gate. It didn't creak, his dad kept it too well oiled for that. It
- was so dark he could barely see. There were no street lights in his
- neighborhood, and the streets were narrow and curvy. It was freezing out.
- He pedaled down the mountain, scared every time he saw headlights.
- It could be a cop thinking he was up to no good, who would gladly escort
- him home. He biked down the main street of his town, a small, wealthy
- residential community in the hills. Everything was closed up tight, even
- the gas station was closed.
- Part of the way was pure highway, 55 mph and everything. He tried
- to stay to the side of the rode. He pedaled furiously, his lungs burning
- from the cold air. He felt relieved when he got to the main street near
- Jen's town. The bright lights and all the cars shocked him, but he knew
- where he was and he was almost there.
- He cut through the elementary school next to Jen's street. It
- seemed like an eternity since he'd left his home, but finally he was here.
- He left his bike in front, sure no one would wander by her
- culdesac and steal it at this hour, and not in her wealthy neighborhood.
- He climbed the wall in front of her house, praying it wasn't rigged for
- security. He went up her driveway to the gate on the side of the house,
- it would lead him to the glass sliding door to her room. He'd joked
- before about that door, about she could let him in at night without her
- parents knowing.
- He looked at the gate. He was pretty sure it was rigged. If he
- set it off and her parents called the police, he'd look like a huge
- fucking fool. If her dad didn't shoot him first that is. He'd planned on
- taping the note to her door so she saw it first thing. He had a little
- side fantasy that she'd see him taping it up and she'd invite him in and
- they'd make up.
- Shit, he thought. That's not going to happen. He looked again at
- the gate. He went around to her front door and placed the piece of paper
- on the doormat. He stared at it, hoping her dad wouldn't step on it and
- drag it around all over the city before he eventually noticed it and threw
- it away.
- Ryan hopped up over the wall, and picked up his bike. Climbing on
- it, he looked again at her house, and imagined her sleeping peacefully
- just yards away from him. He tried to send her a mental message. "I love
- you, Jen," he whispered, squeezing his eyes shut. He took a deep breath
- and rode home.
-
- *****
-
- Jen had talked to Dana until about midnight. Dana had advised her
- to wait and see, telling her how she was sure Ryan loved her and didn't
- mean his behavior. She said he was just jealous. Jen had cried, so
- upset, and sure that Ryan had changed or that maybe he wasn't the guy she
- thought he was. She said she was glad she hadn't slept with him yet. She
- was convinced they were over. Dana agreed on the former, but still said
- Jen should take him back. That is, if he comes back, Jen had pointed out.
- Jen was surprised at the note on her carpet the next morning. Her
- dad had stuck a post-it on it, saying it was on the doorstep when he had
- gone to work at 6:15 am. She read it, and held it to her breast. Should
- she call him now? He'd probably be up. Nah, she thought. I'll call him
- tonight so we can talk. Plus, she thought with an evil grin, better let
- him sweat it.
- That night she called him, nervously. What if he'd changed his
- mind? He might have thought about it, and decided he didn't want her
- forgiveness after all.
- "Hello?" said a small voice.
- "Will?" she asked.
- "Jen?"
- "Yeah, it's me."
- "Hold on, I'll get Ryan." She heard the phone being put down, then
- the sound of Will's footsteps on the kitchen floor. She heard him yell
- for Ryan, then, "It's your giiiiiiiiiirlfrieeeeeeend!" She laughed. Will
- was only seven, and an absolute miniature Ryan.
- She heard another phone fumbling, and Ryan's low voice saying,
- "Hang it up Will!"
- He didn't say anything, but his breathing told her he was there.
- Finally, he said, "Hello?"
- "Hi."
- He paused, then said, "Just a second." He covered up the
- receiver, but she still heard him shout, "Will! Hang it up!" followed by
- a click and the connection becoming clearer.
- "Hi," said Ryan. "Did you get my note?" he asked nervously.
- "Yeah, I got it."
- "Baby, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm such a jerk. You forgive
- me?"
- "Oh, Ryan. Of course I do. I'm sorry, too. I shouldn't have hung
- up on you."
- "No, I deserved it. I have no business telling you who your
- friends can be. You can be friends with him all you want. I love you so
- much though, maybe I love you too much for your own good in some ways. I
- don't know, I'm so lucky to have you, I mean it."
- "Ryan, I'm lucky to have you. You've always been a great
- boyfriend."
- "But I can be better."
- "I don't see how, Ry."
- "I can never treat you again the way I treated you last night, like
- I owned you or something. I promise you I never will. If I ever do you
- can kick me out of your life."
- "God, Ry, I'd die without you."
- "But you better keep me on my toes though."
- She laughed. "Aright, I'll keep you on your toes. But Ryan,
- don't be afraid to tell me something, how you're feeling, just 'cause you
- think I'll get mad or we'll fight. We need to talk about things. It- it
- seems like we haven't talked lately. Don't you think so too?"
- He paused. "Well, yeah, I guess. It's just that I never see you.
- I think we don't see each other as much now, since I've been working and
- am too tired to go out and stuff."
- "You work too hard. Work less. Your classes are hard enough,"
- "Well, you know I'm saving up for a car," he said. "Man, when I
- get my license we'll go out all the time."
- "Ryan, I bet your parents will buy you a car. Did they say they
- wouldn't?"
- "No, but I guess I'll appreciate it more if I earn the money
- myself," he said, not telling her what else he was planning on spending
- the money on.
- "God, you're such a hard worker. You're just like your dad, you
- know. He works so hard to give you guys everything."
- "Yeah, but I think, you know, that my mom wishes he were around
- more."
- "Gee, who does that sound like?" she said.
- "Huh?" he said.
- "Ryan!"
- "What, who. . . me?" he asked.
- "Yes, you silly. I worry about you. Just don't get burned out."
- "I won't. Don't worry, babe."
- "Hey, Ry?"
- "Yeah?"
- "When did you bring that note over?" she asked, curious.
- "Oh, I think it was like 3 or so. Maybe 4."
- "You got a ride that late?" she asked incredulously.
- "No."
- "How'd you get here then?"
- "I rode my bike."
- Jen gasped. "Ryan! You rode your bike over here! God, that's
- like ten miles away! And at night!"
- "Well, I wanted you to know I was sorry! I didn't want you to go
- to school hating me still. I couldn't call you. Your parents would have
- killed me!"
- "Oh, honey. . . " she mused. "I can't believe you rode your bike!
- You must have been freezing. Weren't you cold?"
- "Well, at first. But I rode as fast as I could and got warmed up."
- "Oh. . . I didn't hate you you know!" she exclaimed, what he'd
- said just now hitting her.
- "Well, I didn't know. I mean, you said, "Fuck you" and hung up on
- me," he pointed out, sounding hurt at the memory.
- "Oh! I feel so bad. If something had happened to you I'd never
- have forgiven myself."
- "Don't worry about it."
- "No, I mean, you could have gotten hit by a car. Or kidnapped!"
- He laughed. "I'm a big boy, I can handle myself!"
- "You must be exhausted. What time did you get home? Did you get
- any sleep last night?"
- "No I think I got home at like six or so. It was almost light out.
- But it was worth it."
- "You know, you could have just called me this morning."
- He paused. "Would you have talked to me?"
- "Probably not!" she laughed.
- "See! It's okay. I got my exercise for the week."
- "Oh, and up the mountain too!" she whined. "Poor baby. . . "
- "Oh!" he whined back, teasing.
- "You must be so tired."
- "Yeah. You know when you stay up all night though, after awhile
- it's okay. It feels like a dream . . . "
- She sighed. "I wish you could come over."
- "Yeah, I'll get my bike out."
- "Ryan, don't you ever dare ride your bike over here again from your
- house. Take a cab. I'll keep money aside just for that."
- "No, I'll keep money. I wish I could come over now."
- "Well, you're not allowed to."
- He sounded hurt. "Why not?"
- "Because, Mr. Harper, you're going to take a nice hot bath and get
- your butt some sleep tonight!"
- "Yeah, okay, that sounds good. How's your butt by the way?"
- "It's just fine!" she laughed.
- "Can I come over and see your butt this weekend?"
- "Well, my parents are going to be home. But other than that you
- may."
- "Can I see something else?"
- "Ryan!" she laughed, surprised. "Well, I'll think about whether or
- not you can *see* it."
- He groaned. "Aright. . . You know, it's like the car. No
- offense, really. I appreciate something more when I've earned it, huh?"
- "Yeah, you will," she agreed, pleased that he saw her side of it
- for once.
- "I love you babe," he said softly.
- "I love you, too, love. Now go get some sleep!" she insisted.
- "'Kay. I'll call you tomorrow. Bye. . . "
- "Bye. . . "
-
- Chapter 13
-
- "Oh, Ryan. . . Oh, that feels so good. Oh, wow. . . " she
- breathed. He moaned in her ear, her hand gripping his cock.
- They were naked together in the guest house of his friend Josh's.
- Josh was in the main house, probably fucking Alicia, Ryan had said. It
- was late at night, his parents out of town for the weekend at some
- wedding.
- He was nearly laying on top of her in the bed, his fingers
- exploring her tight cunt. Now he was fingerfucking her, which didn't
- really do that much for her, she'd realized. He seemed to really get off
- on it though. It didn't feel as good as when he massaged her clitoris
- anyway, which he'd been doing a minute ago. She gripped him, rubbing his
- taut skin up and down, while her tongue played with his.
- He came soon, thrashing in the bed and moaning her name. He let
- out a wail, and she felt his hot sperm splatter onto her abdomen and
- chest.
- "I wanna fuck you Jen!" he groaned. "Oh, yeah, fuck me, God. . .
- " He buried his head on her shoulder, breathing rapidly.
- "God," he breathed. "That felt so good."
- She was a little annoyed at what he'd said a second ago, but she
- supposed he couldn't help it.
- "You didn't cum, did you?" he asked once he'd caught his breath,
- the disappointment evident in his voice.
- "No," she answered. "Really, don't worry." He was always wanting
- to know if she'd cum ever since he'd started fingering her. She couldn't
- help but moan, and he was thrilled. She could have had him kept trying,
- of course, but she was scared that she still wouldn't cum, and then they
- would both feel horrible.
- "Well! When you cum, you'll know why I always wanted you to. But
- it felt good?" he asked, wistfully.
- "Yes, dearie. It felt great. Don't worry. Girls are different
- than guys, if we don't cum it's not the end of the world. We're just
- built that way."
- "I know that . . . "
- She snuggled up to him, under the covers.
- "I'm gonna miss you when you're gone," he said sadly.
- "I'll only be gone three and a half weeks!" she said. "Then we'll
- have the rest of the summer together. I'll write you every day. You
- won't even know I'm gone."
- "Can't you stay home?"
- "No, I can't. No offense, but I'm looking forward to going away.
- I went to this camp for five years! Now I get to be a counselor. It's
- gonna be fun. I promise I'll write you," she repeated, rubbing his chest.
- "You promise you won't meet any hot guy counselors?"
- "Well, I'll *try* not to," she teased.
- He kissed her, tickling her and then pinning her arms to the
- mattress while he lay on top of her and she giggled. He kissed her again.
- "Let's do it tonight," he whispered, looking into her eyes in the
- moonlight that poured in, the summer night hot outside.
- She shook her head, smiling at him sadly.
- "Please?" he begged. "Can't I have a going away present?"
- "No, Ry. I said no."
- "Aright," he gave in. He didn't want to fight with her tonight.
- He wouldn't be seeing her for nearly a month, and plus, he didn't want to
- give her any reason to spend any time in any "hot guy counselor's" arms.
- "I'm gonna be so bored without you."
- "No you won't. I'll be home soon."
- "I'll be working hard while you're gone," he said, trying to
- impress her. "I'm working full time on that house on Woodcrest Court now
- that school's out."
- "You always work hard."
- "Someday, I'll build you the biggest house you'd ever want."
- "As long as it's big enough for me, you, and our thirty-five cats
- it'll be fine with me sweetheart."
- Ryan laughed. He blew raspberries on her breasts and she shrieked
- in laughter. They rolled around, in bed, and she lay on him, her breasts
- pressed against his chest. They kissed, and whispered that they loved
- each other.

- *****
-
- She couldn't write him everyday, but sent him several postcards a
- week, plus three long letters. He worked hard, getting up at sunrise with
- his dad and moving and lifting pipes and beams around all day. His back
- burned and blistered, but then tanned like he'd hoped it would. He was
- stiff and tired every day, and dreaded the hateful sound of his alarm when
- it went off in the dark every morning. But he'd feel so guilty if he quit
- now. The other guys would probably laugh that he was a spoiled brat if he
- didn't show up. "Daddy's boy."
- The night she came home he called her as soon as she walked
- through the door. Her mom drove her over immediately, and she spent most
- of the night making out with him on the couch while his little brothers
- watched TV. Robby and Will groaned and made gagging sounds, but didn't
- leave, and in fact stared at them half of the time, fascinated. His
- parents just laughed, relieved that they weren't locked in his room
- anyway. His parents had always been very affectionate in front of their
- children, so it wasn't especially shocking.
- Later that week he'd promised her they go out. Dana and her
- boyfriend, Jared, picked her up, and they went to the party where Ryan had
- planned on meeting her after work. Jen started to drink, and got pretty
- drunk waiting for him. She'd drank before, and he had too, so it wasn't
- like he would have been mad at her or something. Around eight-thirty he
- still hadn't shown up, and she called him, wondering where he was. His
- mom answered, telling her that he was asleep.
- "He's asleep?" she asked, shocked.
- "Yeah, I just went in there and he's out. Do you need for me to
- wake him up for you?"
- "Yeah, wake him up."
- A minute or two later a sleepy sounding Ryan answered the phone.
- "Ryan! What are you doing? You said you meet me here like, awhile
- ago!"
- "Oh. Sorry. I guess I fell asleep. What time's it?" he mumbled.
- "It's almost nine," she said crossly. "What the hell?" she
- demanded.
- "Oh. I'm sorry. I guess I can't make it. I'm really tired."
- "Well, why didn't you call me?"
- "Dude, I said I just fell asleep! I didn't plan on ditching you or
- anything. Besides, I don't have the phone number where you are."
- "Whatever," she said, disappointed and not bothering to hide it.
- "What? Hey, babe, I didn't do it on purpose you know. I'm sorry.
- I'll make it up to you, I promise."
- "Aright."
- "Mad?"
- "No, not mad," she sighed.
- "I'll call you tomorrow."
- "Okay. 'Bye." she said, hanging up the phone, not even giving him
- the chance to say "I love you," which he was about to.
- She had a few more beers, then got into a rubber band fight with
- this guy she'd never met before. She was running around and tripping on
- the carpet, laughing so hard she had to catch her breath. He kept
- threatening to throw her in the pool good-naturedly.
- She saw him about half an hour later, they ended up on the couch
- together, watching TV. His name was Brett and he was going to be a
- senior. Brett couldn't believe Jen was only a sophomore, she could pass
- for a senior any day, he said. He asked if she had a boyfriend.
- She rolled her eyes. "Yeah, but you know what?" she asked in a
- silly manner.
- "What?" he asked back.
- "He forgot to come tonight!"
- "He did?"
- "Yeah! He fell asleep!" she exclaimed, bursting into laughter.
- She leaned on Brett's shoulder, drunk.
- "Well! That's not a very nice boyfriend. Maybe you should dump
- him."
- Jen just kept laughing. This guy across the room from her was
- making funny faces at her.
- Brett said something she didn't understand, in some other language
- she was sure.
- "Huh? What's that mean?" she asked him.
- "It means 'I love you' in Spanish."
- "You know what?" she asked him.
- "What?"
- "I can say 'I love you' in ten different languages!"
- "Really? Do it then!" he said.
- She paused, batting her eyelashes at him. "'I love you in ten
- different languages'!" she laughed.
- He laughed too, then said, "Uh oh! You tricked me! That wasn't
- very nice."
- "Oh, well too bad for you!" she laughed, getting up to go find
- Dana.
- She found her in the bedroom, laying on the bed with Jared and
- looking at some CD's. Some other people were there too, Jen didn't notice
- who.
- She laid on the bed next to Dana, finding it hard to get up once
- her head hit the pillow. She was part of the conversation for awhile, and
- had a brief recollection of that guy Brett coming in the room sometime and
- talking too, but soon she drifted out of it.
- She jerked out of sleep. It was dark now--what time was it? Had
- Dana left her? What had woken her up?
- She saw the red numbers of a digital clock--it was 12: 55. One
- small lamp was on, but the ceiling light was turned off. She realized all
- of this in about two seconds, and looked over and jumped. Brett was
- laying next to her, his face only inches from hers.
- She moved back a little bit. "What?" she asked incoherently.
- Then she realized why she had woken up--his hand was up her shirt,
- feeling her breasts.
- She tried to push him away, not understanding what was going on
- and really only half conscious. But his mouth covered hers, and she felt
- his wet tongue plunge into her mouth.
- "Uhhhhhhh!" she cried, trying to push him away again
- unsuccessfully.
- "Oh, Jen," he whispered, his erection pressed into her thigh.
- "Go away!" she said, not understanding at all what was going on.
- She rolled onto her stomach and hid her head under the pillow, nearly
- passing out again.
- She felt his hand under her skirt, between her legs, and kicked
- wildly in response to his fingers poking into her, over her underwear.
- She rolled onto her back again and sat up.
- "I don't like you," she pouted, trying to get up.
- "Well, I like you," he said, preventing her from doing so.
- "Why don't you leave me alone?" she whined, near tears. "I have a
- boyfriend!"
- "Yeah, well he's not here, remember? And while you were asleep he
- called and told me to tell you that he doesn't love you anymore," Brett
- joked, pulling her back down and rolling on top of her.
- She burst into tears, trying to hit him but he blocked her
- punches. She tried to kick him but he was too strong, and she was too
- drunk. She squirmed under his weight, and she felt his big hardon poking
- against her. He rubbed his body on hers, shivering in pleasure from the
- sensations. He lifted up a bit so he could pull her skirt up.
- Right then Jen realized exactly what was happening. She opened
- her mouth to scream and his hand was right there, clamped over her mouth
- and absorbing the sound. This is like a dream, she though wildly.
- Where's Ryan?
- He took his hand away and a small yelp came out. He grabbed her
- shoulders and shook her hard.
- "Shut up Jen!" he said in a fierce whisper. "What's the matter
- with you?" he demanded. His eyes frightened her, she wondered if he was
- going to kill her. Only one other thought kept running over and over in
- her mind while he inserted a finger up into her, hurting her. He took his
- dick out, actually, he made her take it out. He yanked her underwear down
- to her knees and repositioned himself. He wrapped her hand around his
- dick, saying softly, and proudly, "Don't you think it's big?"
- Before she could answer, a knock came on the door. Some guy's
- voice asked, "Who's in there?"
- Jen shrieked with all her might. The door was locked, she heard
- it being tried, and someone pounded on the door. Jen screamed, "Help me!
- Please!" while she sobbed.
- He shook her again, hissing, "Shut up!"
- She took advantage of the sudden interruption. Her hand around
- his dick, she reached down and squeezed his testicles as hard as she
- could. She didn't care if they exploded like tomatoes. He screamed in
- agony, and she pushed him off her and struggled to run to the door,
- difficult with her underwear pulled down.
- "Bitch!" Brett groaned at her.
- Right then the door flew open, she saw Dana's face, and some guy
- stood there with a Swiss Army knife, used to unlock the door. A bunch of
- other people stood staring.
- Sobbing, she pulled her underwear back up and saw Brett putting
- his dick away out of the corner of her eyes. She pushed her way out of
- the crowd, trying not to trip. Where was the bathroom? she thought
- hazily. She'd been there at least ten times tonight.
- She found it, Dana trailing after her. She slammed the door shut,
- and leaned behind her against it, fumbling with the lock while she stared
- at the toilet. God, her head hurt. She fell forward and threw up.

- Chapter 14
-
- Ryan went to work the next day with a vague remembrance of Jen
- calling him, annoyed that he'd stood her up.
- He'd promised her he'd make it up to her, so it wasn't the end of
- the world, he reasoned with himself to get it out of his mind.
- The sun was bright overhead in the morning sky as Ryan went to
- work. Break time he talked with this guy Chris, who was a senior at
- another school. He'd started working for Ryan's dad last summer, and had
- sort of become friends with him although they didn't hang out after work.
- Chris told him about some party he went to the night before,
- mentioning that he may have to go to court.
- "Why?" asked Ryan. Chris was full of shit.
- "Oh, some chick got raped! I may be a witness!"
- "Oh, yeah?" he asked.
- "Yeah. We beat the hell out of the guy too."
- "Good!"
- "Yeah, it was out in the Oaks."
- "Oh yeah? I think I heard of that party! My friends went."
- "Well, there's hella parties around there," said Chris
- nonchalantly, as though Ryan wouldn't be cool enough to know of a party
- that Chris attended.
- "Oh yeah, so what happened? Did the cops come?"
- "I don't know, I left pretty soon after."
- "Oh. That sucks," he said, hoping to wrap up the conversation.
- He called Jen as soon as he got off work. He wasn't too tired and
- wanted to go out maybe.
- "Hello?" she said.
- "Hi, what's up?" he said.
- She paused. "Oh, hi Ryan. Nothing much," she answered sweetly.
- "I'm sorry about last night. . . " he began.
- "What about it?"
- "Don't you remember? I fell asleep and stood you up. Don't tell
- me you forgot--I thought you were pissed! Spent all day worrying about
- whether or not you'd talk to me tonight."
- "I always talk to you Ryan," she said in a wounded tone.
- "I know you do--I'm only kidding." Shit, he thought, she's still
- pissed at me.
- She didn't say anything. He changed the subject.
- "So, how was that party last night?" he asked.
- "Fine."
- "Did you get drunk?" he asked.
- "I don't know," she said in an annoyed tone.
- "God, just asking. Hey, did some girl get raped at the party?"
- She paused. "What?"
- "I heard from this guy Chris at work that some girl got raped at a
- party in the Oaks last night. Was that at the one you went to?"
- "No."
- "Oh. So, nothing exciting happened?" he asked, trying to make
- conversation.
- "No, nothing *exciting* happened. Anyway, I left early, like,
- right after I talked to you."
- "Oh. Bored huh?"
- "Yeah, Ryan, I was just so bored without my boy," she laughed.
- "Of course you were," he said, relieved that her mood seemed to be
- improving.
- "Ryan?"
- "Yeah?"
- "I gotta go."
- "Oh, why?"
- "Because dinner's ready," she lied.
- "Will you call me after dinner?"
- "Yeah, maybe. Probably."
- "Aright. I love you. . . "
- "I love you too," she said quickly, and hung up.
- She called him back later, wanting to tell him what had happened
- but at the same time wanting to forget about it. She knew it would be
- hard to do that if he knew. Not that many people at the party knew him,
- and she'd made Dana promise not to tell, so she figured he wouldn't find
- out. She supposed he'd get mad if he did, but would he get mad at her too
- for being so irresponsible? He'd want to know every detail probably.
- What if he felt weird that another guy had touched her? She'd just as
- soon forget about it. It wasn't like the jerk actually raped her. They'd
- both been drunk. She tried to forget about it.
- Ryan wanted her to come over that night to hang out. Her mom
- offered to drive so she said she guessed she'd see him in awhile.
- After they'd hung up Josh called him.
- "What's up?" he asked.
- "Oh, nothing," said Ryan.
- "So, you pissed?"
- "Pissed about what?" he asked.
- "You know."
- "No, I don't. What am I supposed to be pissed about?"
- "Dude, you didn't hear? She didn't tell you?" Josh sounded
- surprised.
- "What?!?" Ryan was getting annoyed.
- "About what happened last night at the party. Why didn't you go,
- anyway?"
- "Dude, if you don't tell me what the fuck happened I'm gonna kick
- your ass. Are you talking about Jen?"
- "Yeah. Have you talked to her yet today?"
- "Yeah! I just got off the phone with her. She's coming over."
- "Oh. . . "
- "Are you fucking with me? What happened?"
- "Oh, man! Some guy like completely attacked her!"
- "What? He hit her?" Ryan yelled.
- "No. . . He liked, raped her. Or he tried to. I heard from Jared
- that she got away before he actually did it. But then I heard from this
- other guy that he did rape her."
- Ryan was silent.
- "Ryan?" asked Josh, gently.
- "I'm gonna kill him," he said quietly. "I swear to God, I'm gonna
- fucking kill him!" he screamed.
- "Dude, Jared said they beat the fuck out of him. His name's like
- Brett something."
- "I can't believe this. Why the fuck didn't she tell me?" he
- demanded.
- "I don't know. Maybe she thought you'd get mad."
- "Oh, bullshit. What the hell?" he demanded. "What happened? Is
- she okay?"
- "I don't know. I wasn't there."
- Ryan paused, thinking. "Dude, I gotta go."
- "Aright. God, I thought you knew. . . "
- "Well, later."
- "Later."
- Ryan, trying to fight back tears, called Jen, his hands shaking.
- She'd already left. He sat on the edge of his bed, his head in his hands.
- What had happened? She must be going crazy inside, she must be hurting.
- She *had* sounded weird, he recalled. He'd thought it was just because
- she was mad at him. Maybe she was mad at him because he wasn't there.
- Did they take her to the hospital? He still didn't know whether or not
- she'd actually been raped. He called Dana.
- "Hello?"
- "Dana? It's Ryan."
- "Oh, hi Ryan," she said. He didn't usually call her, and if he
- did, it was always concerning Jen. She had a feeling he'd found out about
- what happened.
- "Dana, you need to tell me what happened."
- She didn't say anything. She'd promised Jen she wouldn't tell.
- She racked her brain to think of a good lie.
- "Dana! Tell me!" he said, sounding as if he'd been crying, or
- still was maybe.
- Her heart melted, she'd thought Jen should have told him, and had
- told her so.
- "Is she okay?" he demanded. "Why didn't she tell me?"
- "Oh. Yeah, she's okay. She was pretty upset at first, she locked
- herself in the bathroom for like half an hour."
- Shit, he thought. "Did you call the police--wait, did he actually
- rape her or not?"
- "Oh, no!" she said. "He was about to, but she got him in the nuts
- finally and got out of the room."
- He breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God. What happened?"
- "Oh, well. She passed out in this bedroom and he went in and
- locked the door. She woke up when he was trying to."
- "Did he hurt her?"
- "Oh, not really. He grabbed her arms and pinned her down and stuff
- but he didn't hit her or anything. She was lucky she got out, though. He
- was fully ready to rape her. He had like, well, when the door got opened
- she was pulling up her underwear--she was wearing her jean skirt--and he
- was pulling his pants up. She was totally crying."
- "Why the fuck did you leave her there alone?" he demanded angrily.
- "Well, we thought she'd be okay! I mean, you don't fully expect
- someone to rape her just because she's passed out."
- "Dana, why didn't she tell me?" Ryan asked.
- "I don't know. And I'm not telling you this, okay? You didn't
- hear it from me. She made me promise I wouldn't tell you."
- "Why?" he demanded. "Why the hell didn't she want me to know?"
- "I don't know, maybe she thought you'd be mad or think she deserved
- it or something"
- "Why the fuck would I be mad? Do I sound mad at her?"
- "I don't know. I guess not."
- "I can't believe this. Why did I have to fall asleep? I wasn't
- there for her when she needed me. Maybe she's mad at me because I wasn't
- there?"
- "Oh, I don't think so."
- Now that he knew she was okay, he began to get angry. "She lied
- to me," he said.
- "How?"
- "Well, I asked her if anything happened and she said no. She told
- me that she left at like nine. She didn't, did she?" he asked
- rhetorically.
- "No. . . We left at like three or so."
- "Fuck. I can't believe she lied to me about this." Lying was a
- cardinal sin at his house.
- Dana said nothing, trying to think of anything else she could say.
- He saw headlights, then heard Will yelling that she was here.
- "Dana? I gotta go. She's here."
- "Oh, she's coming over? I didn't tell you anything!" she reminded.
- "I know, don't worry. Dana?"
- "Yeah?"
- "Thanks."
- "You're welcome I guess. Bye."
- "Bye."
- He heard the front door open, and his mom telling Jen that he was
- in his room. He heard her knock.
- He told her to come in. She walked in, smiling at him. She sat
- on the bed next to him.
- She's acting like nothing's wrong, he thought. Why are you acting
- like nothing's wrong? What the hell is the matter with you? he thought
- angrily. Why'd you fucking lie to me?
- He was completely staring at her. Oh, my God, she thought, he
- must know. He looks so pissed!
- "What?" she said defensively.
- "Why'd you lie to me?" he asked sullenly.
- "What? I didn't lie to you!"
- "Don't lie!" he said angrily.
- "Ryan!"
- "You didn't fucking tell me. Why couldn't you fucking tell me?
- You told me nothing happened!"
- "Ryan! Stop yelling at me," she said, trying not to cry. "I
- didn't lie to you. . . " she said pathetically.
- "Oh come off it."
- "Fine," she said tearfully, standing up. "Fine."
- "Where are you going?" he demanded.
- "I'm leaving," she said, bursting into tears.
- Ryan jumped up and blocked the door.
- "No! You can't just run away," he said, preventing her from
- opening the door.
- He was bigger than her; frustrated, she turned her back on him,
- sobbing. "No, you're just yelling at me. We can't talk if all you're
- gonna do is yell. I wanna go home!" she cried, her face in her hands.
- She leaned her head against his wall. "Let me leave!" she wailed.
- "No, come on," he said. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling
- her to him. She wouldn't turn around, and tried to push his arms off her.
- "I'm not mad at you. I didn't mean to yell. Please can we talk?
- We need to." He held her in his arms, resting his chin on her head. "I
- love you," he whispered.
- She shook her head. "I'm sorry."
- He turned her around, and held her face in his hands while she
- wouldn't look at him.
- "No, it's not your fault. It's his fault."
- "No, I-I'm sorry I lied. I never meant to. I was just scared."
- He made her look at him. "Why were you scared?"
- "I don't know," she whined. "I just didn't want to talk about it.
- I didn't want you to know about it."
- "Why?"
- "Because then you'd make me talk about it!" she wailed.
- "Well, it hurts me that you couldn't tell me," he told her. "It
- hurts me that you lied."
- She buried her head on his shoulder, "I didn't mean to. . . "
- "I know," he said, even though he really didn't. She sat down on
- his bed, still crying.
- He laid down on his bed, burying his head in his pillow, still
- angry at her. He'd always told her he'd be there for her. Obviously she
- didn't think so. There must be something wrong with us if she couldn't
- tell me, he thought. He wanted to say that, but couldn't. Instead he
- wished she'd leave, really. He still loved her, but right then he wished
- she'd leave. She didn't want to talk about it anyway. What could he do?
- She laid down next to him. He looked at her. She looked so
- pathetic, and not very attractive with her eyes puffy and raccoon-like
- from crying. He couldn't tell her to leave though. He looked away.
- They just laid on the bed for several minutes, neither saying
- anything.
- "It- it was just so gross. It was like a dream," she finally
- whispered, staring at the ceiling.
- He felt guilty right away that he had wished she'd left. It must
- be hard for Jen to talk about it, he reasoned. He held her again, telling
- her it was okay.
- She pointed out his shirt, dirty from her makeup. "I'm sorry,"
- she said. He shook his head at her, telling her not to worry about it.
- "I'm gonna kill him you know," he told her.
- "No! Ryan, no. I don't want you to get hurt!"
- "Don't worry."
- "No, please. They already beat him up. I think he's sorry."
- "Yeah, I'm sure he's sorry that he didn't get to finish. Man, Jen!
- I can't believe somebody would do that to you!"
- "Well, he was drunk. He probably didn't know what he was doing."
- That got Ryan mad again. "Whad'ya mean 'he was drunk'? Who
- cares?!?" he demanded.
- "I don't know," she said defensively. "I mean, I was just saying
- . . . "
- "Well, that's no excuse. I don't care if he was drunk. What he
- did still counts. Don't ever excuse someone's behavior just because they
- were drunk, not when it's something bad like this."
- She started crying again.
- "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell," he said, feeling bad.
- She shook her head. "No, I mean. . . I- I kept thinking one
- thing when it was happening. It was the worst part of it, of what almost
- happened."
- "What?"
- "I . . . " she cried. "I kept thinking that you wouldn't be the
- one who took my virginity. I wouldn't have been able to give it to you!"
- she sobbed.
- His heart broke. "Oh, Jen," he whispered. "I wouldn't have cared
- about that. I love you. Don't ever forget that, will ya?"
- She just cried.
-
- continued. . .
