C.J glanced at Zac but he was talking to David. They were at Tyson's party and Zac was so far keeping to his promise about not getting drunk. She tapped her foot to the beat of the music and watched as couples danced, made out and dissapeared up the stairs. Zac nuddged her.
"You ok?" He asked. C.J nodded.
"Yeah, I'm fine... come on... let's dance!" She said. She got up and pulled Zac up. The two of them made their way over to where people were dancing. Just as they got there, the song finished and a slow song came on. Zac wrapped his arm's around C.J and pulled her close.
"This isn't usually the kind of music Tyson play's at his parties" Zac said. C.J nodded.
"You've told me before... but his cousin Marla is in charge of the music" She said.
"Ohh.. ok then." Zac said. The two of them swayed to the music and Zac bent his head down to kiss C.J. Their kiss grew stronger and deeper. C.J pulled away from Zac and smiled at him. Zac dropped his arms from around C.J and took her hand. "Come with me" He said as he lead her to the stairs. The walked up them, stepping around the couples who were sitting on the stairs, making out. C.J and Zac found an empty room and Zac locked the door behind him. He noticed that C.J didn't question why he had brought her in to the bedroom. They sat down on the bed and both were silent. Then Zac remembered that had forgotten one vital thing and he stood up.
"Where are you going?" C.J asked. Zac racked his brain for an excuse.
"I uh.. gotta go talk to Jay about something. I'll be right back" He said. C.J just shrugged and then waited for Zac to return. She knew what was going to happen when Zac came back. C.J just had to let him know that she was ok with it. That she wanted to do it as much as he appeared to to. She got up and wondered around the room, getting restless. She heard the door open and saw that it wasn't Zac who walked into the room. It was a boy she didn't know and a girl she vagely recognized from school.
"Fuck, sorry. Didn't know this room was taken..." The boy said. He then backed out of the room and closed the door. Almost instantly the door opened again, only it was Zac who walked in. She smiled at him and he smiled back.
"Zac, I need to talk to you" C.J started. She held in her laughter at the look on Zac's face as he sat down on the bed. "Don't worry, it's nothing bad" She assured him. C.J sat down next to him. "Ok, well, I know why you brought me in here and I want to let you know that I'm ok with it" She said. Zac looked at his girlfriend.
"You are? I mean, you really don't mind?" He asked.
"No, I don't mind. I've been thinking a lot, about us and having sex with you. I really want to do it. I mean, I know what doing it is like, but that's because I was, well... raped. I don't know what it's like doing it with someone I love. And I love you Zac."
"I love you to C.J. I have for a long time now." Zac replied, not believing that C.J was talking about them sleeping together without getting embarrassed about it. Zac knew that he wouldn't be finding it as easy as what C.J was. So he was glad that C.J was doing most of the talking.
"That's good.. cause I wouldn't be happy if you were here just for some thrill and then dump me after it happened." She said. C.J then leaned towards Zac and palnted her mouth gently on his. Zac started to kiss her back and the two of them slowly fell back onto the bed. Zac positioned himself ontop of C.J and with one hand, Zac undone the buttons that were on C.J's shirt and then C.J lifted it up and then pulled it over her head. She then pulled off Zac's T-shirt. "You're still wearing it" She said as she fingered the silver cross she had given him. Zac looked down at the cross and smiled.
"Yeah, I promised you I'd alway's wear it didn't I?" He asked. C.J didn't answer him. Instead, she sat up and unclasped her bra and then took it off. She then reached over to the lamp that was beside the bed and turned it off, making the room go totally dark.
"Hey, what did you do that for?" Zac demanded.
"It's better in the dark" C.J said, lying down next to Zac.
"Great party hey?" Coldan asked Jessica. She just nodded. She wasn't having the best time of her life. She had chosen not to drink, but Coldan hadn't. He was drinking anything and everything he could find that contained alcohol. Jessica had also spotted C.J and Zac there as well, but had managed to avoid them. She knew Zac wouldn't be happy if he saw her there. But C.J and Zac had now both dissapeared.
"Yeah, great" She said dully. She wished Carly was there. Carly wouldn't be drinking and she would have someone her own age to talk to. She was the youngest girl there, but that didn't stop boy's twice her age coming up to her and hitting on her.
"What's wrong?" Coldan asked. Jessica shook her head.
"Nothing... I'm just gonna find Zac and go home." She said.
"I'll walk you home" Coldan offered, looking like he didn't want to leave the party.
"No, it's ok. I'll just find Zac.. he can take me home and then come back here" Jessica said. Coldan shrugged and then got up. He walked away, leaving Jessica by herself. Jessica watched as a boy about Zac's age walked over to her and held out a joint.
"Want some?" He asked. Jessica shook her head and the boy sat down. "Come on, it'll make ya feel good"
"I already feel good" Jessica said.
"This'll make you feel better" The boy said.
"No."
"Just one... come on" He said, holding the joint under her nose.
"I said No. Do you know Zac Hanson?" Jessica asked. The boy nodded. "Good, you know where he is?"
"Yeah. I think I saw him go upstairs a while ago with some girl. Come on, I'll take you to him" The boy said. Jessica really didn't trust this boy but she got up and followed him up the stairs anyway. He led her into what looked like a study. "Stay here and I'll get him for ya"
"Ok" Jessica said uncertainly. The boy dissapeared and Jessica sat down in a desk chair. She had no idea what the boy was doing but she knew he wasn't getting her brother. She sighed and got up just as the boy and three others walked into the room.
"Look at this, she's ready and waiting" One of them said. Jessica didn't like the sound of that. Her eyes went wide and her heart began to beat faster with fear. The boy that had just spoke stepped forward and grabbed Jessica's wrists.
"Let go of me!" She cried. The four boy's laughed. They all looked around 16 or 17 and Jessica knew she wouldn't be able to defend herself against them. "I said let go!"
"I don't think so. now get down." The boy holding her said. He pushed Jessica to the ground and then two boy's held down her arms so she couldn't move.
"No, please... let me go" She whispered, looking right into her first attackers eye's. She saw nothing in them. He was pleased at what he was going to do. The boy gave her an evil smile and then climbed ontop of her. He wasted no time. He undid his jeans and pulled them down to his ankles, he then undid Jessica's tight-fitting jeans and pulled them down. Jessica tried to scream but a boy clamped his hand over her mouth, muffling any sound she made. Jessica squeezed her eye's shut but her tears still escaped. One after the other, the four boy's took turns with rapping her. Finally, after what seemed like forever, the boy's pulled up their jeans and opened the door. They shut the door after them and left Jessica lying on the floor, half naked, sobbing.
"You were great" C.J said to Zac. His face lit up as he pulled on his shirt and then bent over to tie up his shoes. He swore that no one would be feeling as great as he did at that moment. The two of them finished dressing and then opened the door to the room they were in.
"You weren't that bad yourself" Zac whispered in her ear as they walked down the hall and towards the stairs. They rounded a corner and saw a large crowd around the doorway to what Zac knew was the study. "Wonder what's going on" He said. They walked up to the crowd but couldn't see into the room.
"Hey, what happened?" C.J asked the girl she was standing next to. The girl turned to her.
"A girl got raped in there about fifteen minutes ago. Jeremy found her. She was scared shittless of him so he got Marla. She's in with her now." The girl said. C.J's mouth flew open in shock and she turned to Zac, who looked as surprised as she did.
"Oh my god... that's sick. How could a guy do that?" C.J asked, more to herself than to anyone.
"Hey, does anyone know C.J?" Marla yelled out.
"What the?" C.J heard Zac mumble.
"Amy" Both of them said at the same time. C.J and Zac looked at eachother with pure horror in their eyes.
"I'm C.J" C.J called out, pushing her way through the crowd, with Zac right behind her. Marla looked relieved.
"Oh great.. well, there's someone in there who needs you."
"Amy?" C.J asked. Marla frowned and shook her head.
"Noo... she said her name's Jessica"
"WHAT? JESSICA?" Zac suddenly yelled.
"ZAC! Calm down. What would Jessica be doing here?.... now wait here while I go inside." C.J said, putting her hands on Zac's chest, which was heaving up and down. Zac just nodded and C.J took a deep breath and walked inside.
