“Let’s line up, everyone.” I clapped my hands as my swim team fell in line for their relays. We had a routine pep talk from our coach, but I would have to sit off to the side and watch the rest of the team for the next two hours.

Dillon was across the room on the other end of the pool, and though he’d talked to me before practice started, he’d been focused on preparing himself for the upcoming championship. He had almost shaved off enough time to be a frontrunner for the Olympic team, but Coach was making him focus so it didn’t go to his head.

The last thing he needed was me in his way as a distraction, so I stayed on my end of the pool.

My stomach rumbled, and despite choking down that donut just to please him, I hadn’t eaten in two days. With Avery busy with her own studies, the novelty of watching me like a hawk had come to a stop, and I just couldn’t stomach anything more. My whole system was sensitive, and I’d gained a whole eight pounds since the accident. I didn’t want to gain more. Not eating so much might help me maintain, especially if I only did it for show.

I didn’t want everyone worrying about me, especially Dillon, and knowing he cared so much he was defending our friendship to his housemates meant I’d been on his mind.

I looked down into the pool and thought about Dillon pulling me out. I was sure he’d laid me down and done mouth to mouth just feet away from where I sat, and I was embarrassed that the first time our lips met had to be in that way. I was so thankful he’d saved my life, and knowing he’d told his friends he wanted to be with me had me excited for possibilities, as well as a little shaken up.

I’d always thought my first time would be special. I’d had several opportunities to go all the way in high school, but I’d never felt like it was the right time or place. I’d never had anyone try to force me, though in school a few of the boys had tried to pressure me a little. It was not the same thing by far. So when I’d gone to that party that night at the Omega House, I wasn’t looking for sex. I liked the guy, sure. He was a gorgeous senior who had been so sweet to me that I trusted him completely when he’d wanted to go upstairs.

Having my virginity stabbed away like a knife cleaving my spirit, my very soul, was a nightmare, one I’d still not woken from.

Imagining Dillon hurting me was as far out there as imagining that he might really love me, but I wasn’t sure I could give him that part of myself. Not when I was this emotionally wrecked. It had been difficult to even pleasure myself, though I had when it came to him.
