Chapter 14

Amy and her best friend showered after breakfast. Mandy suggested that they needed to go shopping, to buy some new clothes for the party. So, they went shopping, not only for new clothes, but also shoes because, Mandy wanted them to wear matching outfits.

After shopping, they went to a restaurant to eat lunch before going to a beauty salon to get their hair, nails and makeup done. By the time they returned to the mansion, it was already dark. Instead of having dinner, they grabbed a quick snack. While Mandy was getting dressed, Amy decided to give her dad a call like she had promised.

“Hello, dad”

“Hello, my beautiful princess. How are you?” Her dad’s happy voice replied.

“I’m fine, dad. How’s Spain?”

“Spain’s okay. Just been busy, couldn’t find the time to go outside my office”

“Aww. Poor Daddy” she cooed

“I waited for your call in the morning, until noon. I’m glad you called in the end, even though it took so long… You almost got me worried” Henry confessed.

“Forgive me, dad. The thing is… I invited Mandy for a sleepover, and we were having some girl time. I totally forgot the promise I made”

“It’s okay, love. At least you had company”

“Yeah. We had fun”

“Hope you girls didn’t do anything mischievous?” Henry asked in a knowing manner.

“Besides giving the maids some extra work in the kitchen, we’re good”

Her dad chuckled at her reply.

“If you say so, princess, but please, don’t do anything rash” Henry said in a more serious tone.

“I won’t, dad” Amy replied in a quiet voice, feeling guilty for what she was about to do.

She knew her dad would never agree to her going to a party, that’s why she kept that part away from him.

“Well, I guess I don’t have to worry too much since you’re with your best friend” Henry said in conclusion, making Amy all the more guilty.

“I love you, dad”

“I love you too, princess. Bye”

Amy began to have second thoughts about going to the party the moment she hung up. What if going to the party was a rash decision? She thought to herself. But, if she doesn’t go to this one, when would she have the courage to go to another party? Besides, this would be like a farewell gift to her best friend who would be leaving for college soon.

“Amy, Jack just called. He’s wondering what’s taking us so long” Mandy’s voice interrupted her thoughts.

She quickly went upstairs to her bedroom to get changed. She re-touched her makeup and wore her perfume.

“I hope I don’t regret this” she mumbled to herself as she stood in front of the mirror.

Once she was satisfied with her looks, she headed downstairs.

Mandy gave one of the maids her phone, to take pictures of them. She couldn’t stop gushing over how identical they looked in their outfit. They both wore a sleeveless velvet mini dress. Mandy’s was pink, while Amy’s was blue.

Mandy suggested that they go in her car, and Amy didn’t object since Jack was her boyfriend. When they arrived at Jack’s house, the place was almost completely packed, so she drove her car into one of the garage. Amy was glad they hadn’t come in her car.

“You sure know your way around this place” she said to her best friend with a smirk.

“What can I say? Girlfriend advantage” Mandy replied with a grin.

They climbed out of the car and walked towards the front door. Amy could already hear the vibration coming from the music playing inside. Mandy rang the doorbell and after some minutes, Jack opened the door.

“Look who just arrived. My gorgeous girlfriend and her beautiful best friend” Jack shouted over the music, giving Mandy a passionate kiss.

“Come on in” he said after the kiss.

They followed Jack into the house, and Amy couldn’t help but cringe at the already sweaty bodies as they passed through the crowd. The music was too loud for Amy’s liking. One has to yell over the music to be heard. Jack led them to the kitchen and poured them a drink. Amy politely declined, but Mandy gave her a gentle nudge, encouraging her to take the drink.

“Come on, Amy. Loosen up. Here… It will help you have fun” Jack said, handing her the red cup.

“One of us has to be sober” Amy tried again.

“If that’s the case, I’ll drive you girls home” Jack volunteered.

“I don’t know, Jack…”

“Amy, don’t be a party pooper. We came to this party to have fun, and that’s what we’re going to do” Mandy chipped in, taking the cup from Jack and giving it to Amy.

“Give it a try” she then said with a persuasive eyebrow.

Amy slowly brought the cup to her lips. ‘ You can do this’ she encouraged herself and took a sip from the drink. It tasted terrible, and it burnt her throat.

“That’s it. You’ll get the hang of it soon” Jack smiled

“Let’s party!” Mandy screamed after chugging down the contents in her cup.

She dragged Amy and her boyfriend to the dance floor and immediately got lost in the music, swaying her hips to the beat. Amy didn’t want to be a party pooper like Mandy had said, so she slowly finished her drink, to ease her nervousness and copied her best friend, swaying to the music.

“I can barely recognize anyone here” she shouted over the music.

“I invited some guys from college” Jack replied, enjoying the way his girlfriend was grinding on him.

Amy suddenly felt someone’s arms around her waist. She turned around to see who it was. She had no idea who this guy was.

“I’m John. Couldn’t help myself… You’re an incredible dancer” The guy said.

He looked twenty or twenty one. ‘He must be one of the college guys” Amy thought to herself, since she could recognize almost everyone from her alma mater and their rival school.

“Amy” she replied with a smile

“Wanna dance?” John asked

Amy thought about it for a moment.

“You’re already here”

She decided to let loose and enjoy herself.

John snaked his arms around her waist, kissing her neck as they danced to the music. His hands slowly moved from her waist to her bum, rubbing it. Amy wasn’t comfortable with his forwardness, but she could barely react, as the alcohol she drank was beginning to take its toll on her.

‘But I didn’t take much’ she thought to herself while trying to remove John’s hands from her bum. She guess her body couldn’t take the alcohol since it was her first time.

“Let’s go somewhere quiet” John whispered in her ear.

Amy’s eyes immediately searched for her best friend. She didn’t want to go anywhere with this stranger. Mandy and Jack were no where in sight. Where did they go? They were just here making out a while ago. Amy began to panic as John led her away from the dance floor. She still tried searching for her best friend in the crowd, but she couldn’t find her.

‘Where the hell are you, Mandy?’ she wondered, faking a smile when John looked her way. He opened one of the bedroom doors and dragged her inside, locking the door behind him.

“Just wanted to make sure no one interrupts us” he said with a smirk.

Amy didn’t like that look, neither did she like what he just said. He eased forward, slowly, and Amy moved backwards.

“Come on, babe. I don’t bite” he said as he made his way towards her, that smirk still plastered on his face.

Amy tried calling her best friend, but it kept going to voicemail.

“Come here”

He dragged her by the arm, maintaining a strong grip on her waist as he began to kiss her. Amy tried to push him off her, but he was too strong, and the alcohol wasn’t helping. He began touching her breasts and going lower until his hands were under her dress. She gathered some strength and pushed him off her, trying to make it to the door, but she wasn’t fast enough as he grabbed her by the waist, roughly pushing her on the bed.

“I just wanna make you feel good, beautiful. Isn’t that what you want?” John asked in a menacing tone.

“No, please. Don’t hurt me” Amy pleaded, crawling backwards on the bed as he took threatening steps towards her.

He grabbed her by the leg to prevent her from moving any further, and dragged her towards himself.

“We’re going to have the night of our lives, babe. I promise” he murmured, attacking her neck with open mouthed kisses.

Amy tried to push him, but it was useless, as she was pinned to the bed with her hands above her head. She cried as his hands violated different parts of her body. This wasn’t how she imagined her first time to be like. She struggled to get him off her by shaking her legs, but he slapped her hard across the face.

“Behave, babe… Oh, I get it. You like it rough” he smirked, taking off his shirt.

“I’ll give it to you rough” he said in conclusion, ripping the strap of her dress, exposing her breasts.

He began sucking and biting her neck and breasts while grinding on her.

“You’re smoking hot” he whispered in her ear, nibbling it.

“Stop. Please” she sobbed

“No, baby. We’re just getting started”

John started to take off his belt. Amy saw that as her only chance of freedom, so she kicked him in the balls and pushed him off her body with every strength she got, and climbed out of the bed.

“Bitch!” He grunted, trying to lift himself off the ground.

Amy quickly picked up her phone from the floor and ran towards the door. She tried to unlock the door but her hands were trembling.

“Come on, come on” she muttered until she heard a click, indicating that the door had unlocked.

She threw the door open and ran out of the room.

“We’re not done here, bitch!” She heard him yell from inside the room.

She staggered down the stairs and through the crowd, trying to cover her body with what was left of her dress, at the same time, trying to call Mandy. She received weird stares from the partying crowd, but she could care less.

“Amy. What’s wrong?” Susan, a friend of hers asked in concern.

“Where’s Mandy?” She managed to reply

“I saw her going upstairs with Jack a while ago” Susan told her.

Amy didn’t want to spend any more minute in this awful place, so she walked pass Susan and staggered her way towards the front door. Once she was outside the mansion, she took off her heels, walking on her barefoot. After much contemplation, she decided to call the one person she could count on beside her dad.

“Bryan? Please come pick me up”.
