“Hey Anna have you seen Swayer? I’ve been looking for her.” Ivory asked Anna who was chatting with some guy at a corner.
“I think we should go look for her together. Talk later Steve.” Anna immediately excused herself.
“Who’s Steve?” Ivory asked as they entered the kitchen to check.
“I don’t know. The guy just caged me at a spot and began saying stuff I couldn’t understand. You just saved me honestly. I was almost loosing my temper.” Anna sighed as they left the kitchen.
“Wait, I thought I saw her with Sebastian about an hour ago, maybe they went out?” Anna asked but Ivory shook her head.
“I’ve actually been with Sebastian. We talked for quiet a while. I wanted to pass an information to Swayer but she wasn’t at the couch I left her at.” She said and Anna nodded.
“Let’s ask Chrystal or Fiona. Maybe they know.” Anna said as she spotted Fiona on the dance floor.
They got to her and Ivory tapped her slightly, gaining her attention.
“Have you seen Swayer?!” Anna asked loudly.
“What?!” Fiona asked with furrowed brows since she couldn’t hear them.
“Swayer! We are looking for Swa.. Nevermind!” Ivory said and dragged her out immediately.
“Hey kill buzz! What the heck!” Fiona frowned.
“Swayer, have you seen her?”
“I don’t know, have you checked her room?” Fiona asked and Anna faced Ivory.
“We should go.” She said and spotted Sebastian. He seems to be looking for someone. Their gaze met and he approached them.
“Hey have you two seen Swayer?” He asked and Anna frowned.
“Why is everyone suddenly looking for Swayer?” Fiona furrowed her brows.
“Let’s just check her room. She must have hidden herself to avoid being amongst this crowd.” Anna chuckled and the four of them climbed the stairs to Swayer’s room.
They paused at the door when they heard her screams.
“Swayer?! Swayer are you okay?” Anna immediately tried opening the door but it was locked.
“Please stop! I beg you! Let me go! Stop!” Swayer kept screaming and immediately Anna began banging on the door.
“Open the door! d@mn you let her go!” She screamed while trying to open the door.
Fiona froze on the spot, wondering who’s in there and what’s happening.
Sebastian immediately pulled Anna away from the door and began hitting it with his body, hoping it will open.
He didn’t want to even think of what’s going on in there, all he wanted to do now was get the d@mn door opened.
Swayer’s screaming increased and that only terrified him more.
“Quickly, get a hammer!” Ivory faced Fiona but Anna ran out before Fiona could move. She rushed into the store room and brought a shovel instead as there wasn’t time to look for a hammer.
She rushed back up to meet Sebastian still hitting the door with his body. She handed it to him and he immediately broke the nob with the mouth of the shovel, hitting the door one more time and this time it opened.
They immediately rushed in and their eyes widened at the shocking scene but Sebastian didn’t wait another minute before rushing to the bastard who was trying to force himself on Swayer. She had managed to keep him off but he still tore her clothes off leaving her half naked.
Sebastian pulled him off her and began throwing heavy punches at him without giving Pax time to recover from the first. Swayer was shaking on the bed, crying non stop.
Anna immediately rushed to her and covered her with the bed spread, hugging her tight. Fiona and Ivory just watched Sebastian beat the crap out of Pax. Pax was already loosing consciousness but Sebastian wasn’t ready to stop. He kept on punching and kicking him and even after Pax collapsed, Sebastian kept hitting him.
That was when Fiona and Ivory decided to stop him from commiting murder. Some students began coming to the scene, especially those who were hanging around the stairs. That got the attention of others downstairs, Chrystal especially and she immediately followed them only to find two guys restraining Sebastian.
“What the hell is going on here?” She asked and gasped upon seeing the guy on the ground. She couldn’t even see his face clearly due to the blood covering it. Her eyes darted towards the bed and she froze.
“Let go of me! I need to kill this bastard!!” Sebastian yelled, trying to free himself but more guys joined the other two and dragged him out of the room. Two others carried Pax out of the room, leaving the girls there.
Fiona closed the door a bit to give Swayer privacy, it couldn’t close properly though but at least it told the rest outside to leave.
“It’s okay Sway, you’re safe now.” Anna said and she patted Swayer’s back. She was still crying hard not minding if the guy was already off her. Her heartbeat was yet to return to normal, in fact, it kept increasing, beating faster everyone minute.
“How did this happen?” Fiona muttered, tearing up. She couldn’t believe she was dancing and having fun while this was happening to Swayer. What if Anna and Ivory didn’t come to ask her of Swayer’s whereabouts?
“Swayer I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry, I swear I didn’t know.” Chrystal cried, moving to her side. Swayer’s mind wasn’t even with them anymore. She was still reliving the scene and that’s why her heartbeat kept increasing until she lost consciousness.
“Swayer? Swayer!” Anna screamed shaking her.
“Grab a coat or something, we need to get her to a hospital.” Chrystal said and Fiona rushed to her closet to get a cloth they could put on her.
“It’s 10:30 , the gates would be locked. Where could we possibly take her?” Ivory asked worriedly.
The door was pushed a bit and Maeve ran in, panting heavily.
“Guys what happened? Why is Swayer unconscious?” She asked worriedly.
“What about the school clinic? We can take her there.” Fiona said ignoring Maeve’s question.
“The school building will also be locked. Don’t worry I’ll get Miss Diane. Just let her lie for a bit. I think she’s in shock.” Anna said and gently laid Swayer on the bed, she grabbed Swayer’s car key before rushing out.

Sebastian pushed off the guys that were holding him the moment they got to the living room. He wanted to go after the other guys carrying the unconscious Pax but stopped when he saw Anna rushing down the stairs.
“What’s going on? Is she okay?” He asked but Anna just rushed past him. He followed her and they ran out of the house.
“Anna talk to me.” Sebastian said as he grabbed her hand before she could take another step.
“Swayer lost consciousness. I need to get Miss Diane to check on her. You can come with me.” Anna said, removing her hand from his hold. They both got into Swayer’s car.

The house was almost empty now since Chrystal had ordered everyone out. The loud music was turned off which brought out Fabiola and Shaun from her room. They’ve been in there the whole time as they wanted privacy.
“What’s going on? Why’s everyone leaving so soon?” Shaun asked but no one answered him.
Maeve and Ivory were already cleaning up the mess made by the invites.
“Did something happen? Are we in trouble? Is that why the party ended so soon?” Fabiola asked but before Ivory could respond, Anna came in with Sebastian and miss Diane who looked worried.
“She’s this way.” Anna said, leading her upstairs.
“Who? What’s going on?” Fabiola asked with a frown as she followed them upstairs.
They got to Swayer’s room and she was still unconscious. Fiona was beside her with red eyes. She’s been crying since Anna left.
Fabiola froze at the door, wondering what happened. She was more than confused.
“Will she be okay?” Anna asked as she watched miss Diane examine Swayer.
“I’m not a doctor Anna. Physically she looks fine aside her neck bruise but she still needs to be examined properly tomorrow. How could you all let this happen?” Miss Diane asked with a frown.
“Let what happen?” Fabiola asked worriedly.
“We really had no idea this was going on. The last time I saw her she was with Sebastian.” Maeve said glaring at Sebastian.
“Are you trying to pin this on him now?” Ivory asked with a frown.
“Can someone just tell me what the f*ck is going on?!” Fabiola yelled. She’s been asking questions but they kept ignoring her.
“Swayer almost got R@PED.” Anna muttered.
“What!” Fabiola’s eyes went wide.
“How?! I don’t understand.. I..” Fabiola trailed off not knowing what to say again.
“You kids should really be careful these days. There are a lot of bad eggs amongst you. Don’t think all is fine because you’re all high school students. Watch each other’s back no matter what.” Miss Diane said, facing Swayer.
“This might traumatize her for a while, I just pray it doesn’t stick.” She sighed before leaving the room.
Anna followed her immediately.
“Miss Diane..” Anna called and Diane turned back.
“We don’t mind you staying for the night. I mean it’s late.” She said with a smile.
“I’ll see y’all tomorrow and you can report this case properly to Donald and the police.” Diane said before heading out.
Anna went back to the room and frowned upon hearing the arguments. It hasn’t even been up to a minute she left and they were already arguing about who’s at fault and who isn’t.
“How can this be my fault when I had no idea of what was happening?” Fabiola asked blinking severally at Maeve.
She’s been looking for whom to blame since miss Diane came to examine Swayer and it’s annoying.
“Maeve stop it already. We all didn’t know so stop trying to pin this on everyone.” Fiona said with a sigh. She faced Sebastian and noticed his eyes were glued to Swayer’s face. He hasn’t said anything since he came back with miss Diane.
“Let’s just leave for now. She needs rest.” Chrystal said and Maeve immediately left the room, followed by Ivory before Fabiola and Shaun.
Chrystal sighed, tapping Sebastian’s shoulder before leaving.
“I will stay here with Swayer, y’all can go.” Anna muttered, sitting beside Swayer on the bed.
Fiona had to drag Sebastian out since he wasn’t moving at all.
“She will be fine.” She said to him before going to her room.
