I was relishing the fruit juice that Rebekah handed me over while we sat on the stone wall outside the frat house. I felt college to be dreadful from day one but after this party and moreover after coming to peaceful terms with Rebekah it made me think otherwise.

It would do me no harm to be on friendly terms with her unless she tries another of her mischief. I was starting to feel a bit high after consuming the drink but I pushed the thought behind considering myself a fool as it was just a fruit juice.

Rebekah asked me if I would like to go inside and dance a bit to which I agreed. But as soon as we jumped off the stone wall I lost my control and fell on the ground which is the last thing that I clearly remember.

I helped him get off the ground while I laughed at him thinking how clumsy he was. But it was when he continued taking shaky steps to the frat house when reality dawned upon me.

Is he drunk I internally thought. I shrugged the thought but it was becoming more and more evident with every passing second that Rex was intoxicated.

"Shit" I hissed under my breath. Till now things were absolutely fine.

But this mistake can cost me all the efforts I made to be worthy. This mistake can make me loose him. Again.

I groaned at how irresponsible I can become. I should have checked the drink before passing it to him.

I cursed the person who thought that this would be fun. He has unintentionally created a huge problem for me.

Keeping my thoughts at bay I managed to get Rex on one of the sofa's. He looked adorable when he didn't have to be so annoyingly decent.

He looked at the people dancing on the floor with his big blue eyes and chuckled a bit after noticing the drunk hormonal girls grinding their bodies against the boys. "Will you like some water?", I asked him while he still focused on the people on the dance floor.

He looked at me absentmindedly and just nodded. "Don't move from here. I will be back in a minute", I said after looking at him one last time.

I went into the kitchen to find Austin smoking weed while sitting on one of the chairs. "Have you seen April?", I asked him while filling a glass with water.

He looked at me in disbelief but kept his mouth tight shut. I scrunched my eyebrows at him while my one hand rested on my waist.

He looked at me irritatingly before saying," I saw Rey and April making their way out of the party 20 minutes back. They must have left." I huffed in frustratiom before making my way out.

As soon as I went out my eyes landed on the couch where Rex was seated but he wasn't there. I was about to go into the lawn outside the house to search him but I was stopped when the music went lout and the cheering of people even louder.

I quickly turned to notice what was the wreck about. I was surprised to see Rex on the top of the bar counter with two girls on each side, pressing their bodies against him.

And to my utter disgust he was fucking enjoying it. Jealousy crept in my heart.

I wanted to bash the heads of those two sluts against the wall hard enough to cause them agonizing pain. I took large strides towards the bar counter and suddenly stopped when I heard him calling my name.

"Hey Becs. Common join me up." A small smile made its way on my lips when he adressed me as Becs.

No matter how badly I wanted to enjoy this side of Rex I knew I had to control him before things get worse. He will be sober tomorrow and will hate me if I don't stop him from making a scene of himself.

I told one of the boys to stop the booming music but when he refused to listen to me my eyes fell on the bottle of alcohol resting on the counter. I took the bottle and with full force banged it on the table.

It startled everyone and the music came to an end. "Rex get your ass here. Otherwise I will come there myself and drag you down", I said while passing him a serious look.

He just laughed at me causing other people to join him in my absolute failure to threaten him. I like the sincere Rex more, I heard myself saying.

It is easy to threaten him and make a point in front of him." I won't come down until you dance with me once. I promise just one dance please. Please Becs don't be a party pooper", he said while sitting on the counter and resting his chin in his hands.

I couldn't stop admiring him for being so adorable. He was looking at me with his puppy eyes desperate to get one dance.

"Okay", I said while climbing on the counter. He stood up again with full energy and the music roared again.

He pulled me closer to his chest while his hands were resting on my hips. He pushed the strands of hair that disturbed his view of my face behind my ear.

He leaned closer to me, his mouth opening and closing again while he looked at my lips hungrily. "Enough", said someone from the back and everyone turned to look at him.

It was Austin. Just then I noticed that some of them had their mobile phones out probably to take a video of us.

I took this as a cue to pull Rex down the counter at which he whined a little but I ignored him. I supported Rex to walk steadily while mouthing a "Thankyou" to Austin to stop all this.

He just nodded looking highly disappointed which confused me but I thought that this was not the correct time to ask him especially when I have a drunk Rex to rescue. But somewhere I was upset that it didn't happen.

We were so close still it didn't happen. Maybe Austin should have arrived a minute later.

I managed to get him till my car and after tucking him securely in his seat I made my way to his dorm room. Tomorrow will be difficult I thought while rubbing my temples.

How will I convince him that none of this was my doings. That I had no hand in it.

I internally decided to reach to him first tomorrow before any of those videos make their way to him causing things to complicate further. I watched him as he slept peacefully while his eyes squeezed a bit tighter on encounter with the sparkling city lights.

He was perfect in a way the stars seemed to me. He had the ability to settle the raging storm inside me by just a mere look.

He is unintentionally pulling me out of a place where I have been trapped for years and never even thought of having the strength to escape. Rex was my calm in the thunderous escapades that consumed my hell of a life.

I parked in front of the dorm and somehow handled to get him to the room. I put him in his bed and switched off the lights.

I was about to make my way out when he held my hand making me startle a bit. He was murmuring something near to a whisper so I sat on the ground and leaned closer to him to figure out what he was saying.

"Please don't go. Stay with me here", he said while pouting. His eyes opened a bit causing me to back away from him.

I found myself rolling my fingers through his silky jet black hair. "I'll come back tomorrow Rex. You need to rest now. Okay?", I said while kissing him on the forehead.

He just nodded before drifting back to sleep.

When I woke up the next day it was already quarter to ten. I tried to get up quickly but was intruded by an awful headache which caused me to rub my forehead.

I then opened my eyes to scrutinize where I was and after turning to the other side of the room saw Talia lying on Austin's empty bed. "Hello sleepyhead", she said while coming towards me.

She gave me an aspirin with a glass of water. "Take it. It will help you with your headache."

I followed her intructions and went to the bathroom to wash my face. When I came out she was still in my room now rummaging through the pages of a novel.

"What happened yesterday?" I asked while taking a seat right in front of her. "Nothing serious. You just got buzzed and made quite a show while dancing on the bar top. Along with Rebekah",she added.

My jaw dropped on the floor when I heard of my delinquency the other night. She then showed me a video on her phone.

It practically showed how Rebekah and I were dancing on the bar counter. It somewhat seemed errotic from the angle it was shot.

It showed how close our bodies were and how violently I groped her hips in my palms. I covered my face in embarrassment.

"But how is all this even possible. I just had the fruit juice that Rebekah..." I was starting to put the pieces together by now.

"It was Rebekah who poisoned my drink later right?", I asked hoping to be proved wrong this time. Talia looked at me with a distressed look stating the obvious.

I was baffled. She then left me alone in my room.

Why would she do this to me again after spending such a nice time together? Rebekah was beyond my contemplation.

At one point she is literally begging for me to forgive her and when I decide to trust her again she shows me how big of a mistake it was. Even after knowing the reason why I dread alcohol so much she finds amusement in it and decides to ridicule me again.

Why does she find so much happiness in my misery? What have I done to deserve the worst side of her?

I, for a moment, thought that we could get along but here we are back to square one. I am done being an object of play to her.

I am done trying to be good to her when she isn't giving me any reasons to be on my best behavior. With all these questions clouding my already cluttered mind I interally swore to not talk to her ever again.
