"What's this?" Ike walked out the door of his house to get the morning paper. He picked up the bright orange paper that was on the windshield of his car. "A party?"
He went back inside to call Jenn. "Hey Jenn..."
"Oh hi Ike, 'morning."
"You sound tired."
"I am......I stayed up really late watching MTV because I was bored. I must've watched Real World about 10 times."
"I haven't been watching it much. I saw a couple minutes of one episode...man....Amaya is hot."
"Hey! That's not what I want to hear as soon as I wake up."
"Jenn-you-are-the-most-beautiful-girl-in-the-world-and-I-am-so-lucky-to-have-you-in-my-life- and-I-love-you."
"That's better." She laughed. "Did you memorize that?"
"Yup. For when I say stupid things."
She laughed again. "You sound like a robot when you say it."
"Thanks."
"Yeah, well did you get one of those orange papers on your car today?"
"Yep, do you want to go?" Ike looked down at the paper. "6:00 pm - all night long."
"I guess so. I'll call Alex and see if she wants to go, so ask Tay."
"Okay, I'll call you later. Bye."
"Bye. Love ya."
********************************************************
"Sounds like fun. What time should we be there?"
"Six o'clock. It's at Ryan's house."
"Ryan.....is he the guy you told me you used to play soccer with?"
"Yeah that's him."
"Oh okay. Jenn told me that she and Ike are going. Who's driving?"
"Ike and I will come pick up you and Jenn at 5:45."
"I have to go. Bye Tay.
"Bye, see you tonight. I love you."
"Love you too."
********************************************************
~*Later that night*~
Jenn got out of the car, and Ike reached for her hand. "Wow is the whole teen population of Tulsa here?"
"Probably," Ike said, "when Ryan throws a party, he really throws a party."
"Don't his parents mind?"
"Not if they don't know because they're out of town for the weekend."
"My parents would kill me if I threw a party while they weren't home! Doesn't it make a huge mess?"
Ike smiled and walked in the open doorway of Ryan's house. "He hires a cleaning service after everyone leaves. His parents come home and marvel at how it was even cleaner than before the left."
"Hahaha.....that's pretty smart."
Taylor walked into the house with Alexandra next to him. "Want to meet Ryan?"
"Sure."
"Okay, he's right over there, by the couch." He pointed to the tall guy with light brown hair that was spiked up in front. He was wearing a tight black tanktop that showed off his muscles, and baggy khakis. "Let's go talk to him. I haven't seen him for a while."
They slowly made their way across the room that was swarming with teenagers. When they reached him, Ryan looked up and grinned. "Hey...if it isn't the one and only Taylor Hanson! What's it like being famous?"
"It's alright. This is my girlfriend Alexandra."
Ryan looked at her. The way his eyes gazed up and down her body made her feel slightly uncomfortable. She held out her hand. "Nice to meet you Ryan."
Ryan shook it. "Likewise. Are you new in Tulsa?"
"I moved here recently, if that's what you mean. You played soccer with Taylor?"
"Yeah, but he quit because I was kicking his ass at it."
Taylor pushed him playfully. "Like shit I did. I quit because we were making the album."
Ryan laughed. "Excuses excuses...."
Alexandra rolled her eyes. Ryan seemed nice enough. But the way he looked at her.....she wondered if Taylor had seen.
Taylor looked around. "Hey Ry where's the bathroom? This is a new house....so I don't know where it is. I really gotta take a piss."
"Go over there, down the hallway on the right, go up the stairs, stop on the second floor, go down the hall, and it's the fourth door on your right."
"I hope I'll remember that.....Alex, I'll be right back okay?" She nodded.
Taylor walked away. Alex turned to Ryan. "Your house is really big!"
"I know....my parents are movie producers. I don't know why we live here and not in L.A."
"It's nicer here."
"I think so too. So......you're Taylor's girlfriend?"
"Yeah, but can you try to keep it a secret? We don't really want everyone to know."
Ryan nodded. "I understand. Taylor's pretty lucky."
Alex blushed.
"You're pretty hot......"
"Oh, um, thank you......"
"Taylor's in the bathroom now..." Ryan put his hands on Alexandra's waist and pulled her to him. He forced his lips onto hers and kissed her.
"Stop it!" She struggled to push him away. Finally she was able to untangle herself from his arms. "Why did you do that?"
Ryan looked at her innocently. "Aw, come on baby, you know you wanted it. I could tell from the way you were looking at me...."
"I wasn't looking at you like that! And that gives you no reason to kiss me! I'll have Taylor kick your ass!"
"C'mon, all it's going to do is hurt him. Don't tell him. You can come upstairs with me.....I have a special room....no one can bother us." He held up a condom. "I have protection. Where am I supposed to put this if you don't come?"
Alexandra was just about to tell him exactly where he could put it, but Taylor came and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Hey." He kissed her neck.
"Taylor....Ryan kissed me."
"He what?" Taylor looked at Ryan. "Is that true?"
"Of course not Tay! You know me....I'd never do that. Alex was just kidding."
Alexandra glared at him. "No I'm not. He kissed me."
"Alex, I've been friends with Ryan for a long time and we made a contract when we were 13 saying that we'd never take eachother's girlfriends, because that happened once. Hahaha...Ry do you remember what happened with Jane? That big fight we had over her?"
"Yeah! And in the end she didn't want either one of us!"
Soon Alexandra realized that Taylor just didn't want to believe that Ryan had kissed her. She sighed. It would just hurt him too much.
Taylor's cell phone rang. He pulled it out of his pocket. "Hello....oh hey mom....yeah I'm at Ryan's party.........I do? Oh I forgot! Okay I'll be home soon. Bye."
"What happened?" Alexandra asked.
"I'm sorry....but I forgot that I have to watch Mackie and Zoe tonight, because my parents are going out and my mom gave the housekeepers the night off. But I want you to stay and have fun."
"I'll come with you," Alex told him.
"No, stay."
"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?"
"I'm sure. I have to go now, because my parents have reservations. Ryan will keep an eye on you, right Ry?"
"Of course I will." Ryan smiled. "I won't let her out of my sight."
Alexandra wasn't exactly overjoyed to hear this. She turned around to meet Taylor's lips. They shared a tender kiss for a few moments before they parted. "Bye, I love you," he said.
Alex kissed him once more, very lightly. "I love you too."
Taylor smiled at her, turned, and walked through the room and out towards his car.
"Alex, I'm really sorry about before, I shouldn't have said that to you and kissed you like that." Ryan looked down.
"Why'd you lie to Taylor about it?"
"I'm sorry about what I did to you, and I saw the way Taylor looks at you. It would break his heart. That's why I lied."
"Oh....well thanks for sparing his feelings. But don't do it again okay?"
"I won't. Do you want something to drink?"
"Sure." Alexandra followed Ryan into the kitchen. He handed her a glass of Coke. "Thanks," she said. She took a few sips. Soon she had finished the whole glass.
"Want another one?"
"Okay."
Ryan took her glass and went over to the counter. He had his back to her as he refilled it. Then he handed it back to her. "There ya go."
Alexandra drank that glass of Coke too. Soon she started to feel dizzy. She started giggling for no reason. She stood up, only to have her knees give way beneath her as she fell to the floor.
********************************************************
~*Minutes.....hours later.....who knows...*~
Alex awoke with a huge headache. Her head seemed terribly heavy and she could barely lift it. Then she felt him. He was on top of her, thrusting himself into her body. She tried to close her legs, but he held them apart. "Stop it! Stop! Please......."
"What?! You're awake! I thought I gave you enough to keep you out all night!"
It was dark, but she recognized his voice. Ryan. "Please stop....what if I get pregnant?"
"Don't worry baby, I've got a condom on. Just sit back and relax."
"No! Stop it!" She tried to release herself from him but his grip only became tighter. "You're hurting me!" She tried to gather all her strength to slap him, but it only ended up as a light tap across his face.
"What are you trying to do? Did you just try to slap me you little whore? I didn't want to have to do this, but..." He punched her face hard. As she felt the impact of his fist on her face, she began to have trouble remaining conscious. His voice seemed distant, yet every word he spoke pierced her with fear. "You'd better stay quiet bitch...."
And then she passed out.
*********************************************************
~*Minutes later???*~
She opened her eyes to feel a severe pain on the side of her face. It was hard to move her jaw. Ryan was still on top of her. She screamed. Then she screamed again. A hand was clamped over her mouth. She bit it. For the brief moment before he slapped her, she cried out desperately, "help me!"
The door burst open and the light switched on. It stung her eyes. "What the fuck are you doing Ryan? I come back to get my coat and I find you fucking some girl?"
Then there was a gasp. "Is--is that Alex?"
She felt him ripped off of her. She heard a struggle, and the next thing she knew, the door slammed and she was in someone's arms. A gentle kiss on her forehead. She heard a voice. That sweet, familiar voice.
"Taylor.....?"
"Shhhhhh....it's all right baby, I've got you now. I won't let him hurt you anymore."
