“Okay,” he whispers in my ear, and I close my eyes. Well, I would, but I find they’re already closed, my body feeling heavy.

“She okay?”
“Yeah, just too much to drink.”
The music is loud, their voices louder. I try to cover my ears, but my arms don’t move.

“Where am I?” I croak out into the darkness. “Is that you, Allie?”

Pain.
God, so much pain.

No!
Please stop.
I’m cold, so cold.

Why has Allie turned the heating off?
Why is she in bed with me?
It hurts.

Laughter.
Bright lights.
I groan, my head hurting.
“Wow.”
“Go home,” I manage to croak out, my mouth dry, feeling thick.
“Fuck off. You’ve seen her…”
*** *** ***
Fear.
Cold, trembling fear.
It’s nothing like I’ve ever felt before. I’m terrified, my body stiff and distraught.
