Over a year ago (Hayley's POV)

I stumbled out of the room, my eyes full of tears, and every part of my body throbbing painfully.
I was worried, and scared and angry, and pretty much feeling every negative emotion I could possibly feel.

My breaths were short, hands clamy, and I wanted to scream my lungs out.

I slammed the door behind me painfully, and ran pretty much sprinted, trying to find my way out of the crowd of drunk teenagers around me.

"Jones?" Scarlet said from infront of me.

"Hey," I said softly, feeling disoriented.

"Oh my god! Who the fuck did that?" Levi asked, holding up my arm losely.

I looked down at my arm, seeing a huge dark blue bruise,

My head began spinning, and I got a little zoned out.

"Hayley, what happened?" Scarlett asked softly, talking my palm in hers, and bring me back to reality.

I sniffled, "Asher," I said softly.

"What the fuck?!" Levi spat. Be began walking to..god knows where,

"Wait" I said, annoyed.

"Jones-

"I feel sick," I said,

"Can you tell us what happened," she asked softly.

I felt another tear slide down my cheek, and I clenched my jaw.

"Okay here, I'll be there in 5," Levi said, handing me the keys to his pool house.

The party was at Levi's house, and he had another small cottage sort of thing outside his house.

Scarlett Said she'll come in a few minutes as well, because she needed her phone, so I went to the pool house, and headed into the bathroom.

I paced around anxiously until my nausea took over, and I threw up in the toilet.

I then washed my smudged mascara off, turned on the shower, and sat down.

I just sort of sat there with an empty head and the hot water nearly burning my skin for about 30 minutes, after which I changed into a fresh pair of clothes that Scarlett gave me, and walked out of the bathroom.

I saw Levi, Jake and Scarlett there, sitting on the bed.

Ryan was out of town, which I was sort of glad for. Too many people being here would've been sort of weird.

I sat down on the floor beside Scarlett, and began taking my nailpolish off my feet.

"Jones?" She said softly, and I cleared my throat.

"Okay, I need you to not do anything though," I said softly.

"Huh?" Jake hummed.

"You need to promise me you won't do anything,"

"I'm not making any promises," he said,

"Okay fine, we won't do anything," Scarlett said, looking at Jake.

I cleared my throat. "Nothing actually happened, but Asher got really drunk..and then...I guess he sort of tried to force himself onto me, and I told him to stop, but he wasn't listening, and I..just got really scared...but..nothing happened Okay,?" I said shakily, feeling my eyes sting again.

Jacob clenched his jaw, and Levi and Scarlett had this annoying sympathetic look on their faces.

"So he backed off?" Scarlett asked.

"I...kicked him....I actually don't think he's okay, he was really drunk and then he hit his head really hard on the floor," I said softly.

"But nothing happened, I..dont know, it's not even that, and I'm fine now, I.." I rambled.

Levi stood up, and sort of walked around the room for a minute.

I explained to them that it would only make me feel worse if they went and did something, and that I did enough damage to Asher, who was still.lying unconscious in the other room. Later that night we watched a movie, which partially distracted me from the mess that was my mind.

Over the next few days, Michaela saw me with guy, I was paying him cash for a dumb bet I'd placed weeks ago at the Stag, and she didn't know what had happened between me and Asher, so she told everyone that I cheated on him. I didn't try to tell people what actually happened, because I thought it made me look like I didn't care about Asher, and in that moment, all I wanted was to hurt Asher, as much as I could.

Asher called, texted, and even tried meeting me multiple times after to apologize. He said he was way out of line, and that he was sorry, but I couldn't get myself to forgive him because I really trusted him, and he messed that up really bad.

That was when I stopped drinking, and started caring about my life.
