In high school, you were dating Helen, who was overall, an abusive girlfriend. She would slap and hit you if things didn’t go how she wanted it. She’d manipulate you to never leave her by making up a sad story. She’d never ask for your consent when you two were making out, or even having more fun. it was always when she felt like it, she took you.

Your best friend, Demi, had her suspicions about her from day one. Her suspicions were never confirmed, because Helen had an on and off switch for when she was nice to you or not. And you’ve been more distant to her, and closer to Helen a while in dating, but not in a “girlfriend over friend” way, more like “your whole world revolved around Helen’s approval” kind of way.

"I just don't want to-" Before you could finish, she came in with her upset voice. The voice she does when she's one step away from hitting you. She squeezed your bruises, to make you remember her dominance. "I don't care what you want. I want you, and I want you now. Now is my good partner gonna listen, or get punished?" Your heart dropped when she mentioned "punishment." You nodded, solemnly and terrified, while her smile widened.

"Good~" she licked her lips, bringing you into a kiss, deep, intimate, and a false sense of love, before her hands went down to your pants. And before she could do something, the door slammed open.

Demi stood there, where the door was. Holding a cake that said "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" on it. Oh yeah, that's right, you thought. It was my birthday. But instead of being happy, Demi looked mad. Furious. But not at you, at Helen. Oh no, you thought. She must've saw...
