“Can you sit up? You need to take this medication.”
“What medication?”
He didn’t wait for me to move. Instead, he sat me up against the pillows that were resting on the headboard. I watched as he opened what looked like a bottle of pills. Grabbing the glass of water from the nightstand, he gestured for me to open my mouth. I did, silently praying it would make me feel normal again.
“Lift your arms.”
What happened next was unexpected. He pulled off my dress, but quickly replaced it with what I assumed was his hoodie. It was soft and smelled amazing. His cologne lingered on the fabric.
“Thank you.”
We locked eyes.
“You look good in my clothes.”
I swallowed hard under his predatory regard. Wanting to shift the sudden strain, I asked, “What medication did you give me?”
“I called in a favor.”
“What does that mean?”
“It means I drove you back to my place. My friend who’s a doctor hurried over here to check on you while you were blacked out in my bed.”
My eyes widened. “What happened?”
“You were roofied.”
“I was what?!”
“You heard me.”
“I … I … I don’t understand.”
“What part do you not understand, sweetheart? Where you accepted a drink from a stranger, or where he drugged you with plans of raping you?”
My eyes rimmed with tears. “Did he…”
“No, but he did end up in the ER.”
My gaze shifted to his hands, seeing that his knuckles were bruised and swollen.
“What did you do?”
“Don’t worry about it.”
I thought about it for a moment before I questioned, “How did you know what happened to me?”
“I told one of the pledges to keep an eye on you. When you walked to the bathroom pale as ghost, he came and got me. I found you outside with that motherfucker carrying you to his car.
“Oh my God. He … he just… He spilled…” Faint images played through my head. “A drink! He spilled a drink on me, and then he bought me one to apologize… I didn’t want it, but he was insistent.”
“That should have been a bright red fucking flag, Evie.”
“I didn’t think—”
“That’s exactly my point! You didn’t fucking think at all!”
“Stop yelling at me. I took a drink from you too!”
