about my past. I told her bits and pieces, and she accepted

them without demanding more. I did the same with her.

She only gave me what she wanted; we established this

understanding early in our friendship.

Her silence didn’t last for more than fifteen minutes. “I

have to confess something.”

I paused the episode and faced her. We were both sitting

cross legged on the bed. “What is it?”

Riley swallowed hard and chewed on her lip, her brows

pulled together in nervousness. Her body was strung tight

with tension, and I didn’t like the dreadful look on her face.

She licked her lips, took a deep breath and started. “On

Friday, after Maddox pulled you away and Colton grabbed

me…”

The night of the haunted house? Confused, I nodded and

waited for her to continue. “Yeah?”

“He pulled me behind the dumpster…” Riley trailed off,

her eyes wide and glassy.

“Yeah. You told me. They are both assholes. If I could, I’d

report them–”

Riley shook her head and cut me off, sharply. “No, listen.

I didn’t tell you everything that happened.”

“Riley…?” I slowly questioned.

She let out a loud, frustrated sigh. Her cheeks were

tinted pink, but there was a guilty look in her eyes. “I

messed up. I don’t know how it happened but it just…

happened. One minute, I was screaming at him and I even

punched him; he was laughing like a stupid, madman and

then he pulled me close and… it just happened. I didn’t

think. I wasn’t thinking.”

She was babbling, talking too fast, but I caught the gist

of it. For her sake, I carefully concealed my shock. But… oh

my fucking SHIT!

“Riley, did you… I mean, you two…?”
