My mind was blank as shock took over my body at the feel of Lucas' lips kissing mine. I was too stunned to even respond to the kiss as this was my very first kiss and the jerk had stolen it. At that thought, I placed my palms on his shoulders and started to push him off but he barely moved. I blushed when I felt his arms wrap around my waist after he dropped the plastic gun, then my shoulders sagged, giving in to the kiss.

With no experience whatsoever, I opened my mouth and he moaned before kissing me harder while gripping my hip tightly. I found myself closing my eyes and wrapping my arms around his shoulders then feeling his strong body pressing into mine.

I began to move my lips against his, focusing on the direction he went which caused him to moan more and kiss harder. A tiny gasp left my lips when his teeth nibbled on my bottom lip before plunging his tongue into my mouth. My body shuddered and my center became hot with a dull throb when his hand went up to my chest, dangerously close to my breast.When he pulled away, I got my senses and quickly shoved him.

"Why did you do that?" I demanded angrily and he smirked. His eyes were hooded and his face flushed as he silently stared at me.

"You kissed me back so, why are you pissed?" He asked and I got so angry that I wanted to smack him in the head.

"I didn't want it in the first place," I argued and he chuckled.

"Why are you pretending to be all of these? I feel like you're a bad girl who acts like a good girl. Come on, Jackie. I know you want me."

He started to step forward so I rushed out from our hiding spot and crossed my arms. This was why Lucas Hamilton was a no-good piece of shit. He didn't care about people's feelings and only slept with girls he thought were easy. I wasn't about to give him that impression, not today and not ever.

"I don't want you. You're not even my type. Now, hand me my phone," I said stiffly and he frowned, probably feeling angry at my rejection.

"You're going to get your phone after the party. Stick around in the meantime," Lucas said in a cold tone and walked out. He stopped beside me and glared at me before walking away, not forgetting to bump into my shoulder in the process.

I felt a dull ache in my chest but I pushed it away. This was why I didn't want to be around people or make friends until I left for college. Associating with people brought unnecessary feelings that left me thinking of them instead of my future.

I dropped my arms and started heading back to where I came from. When I got back, I saw no sign of Maddy which made me roll my eyes. As I looked around, I spotted the girl from earlier, staring at me from the place I had come from. I raised an eyebrow at her before she walked toward me with a blank look on her face.

When she stopped before me, I gulped. She crossed her arms and leaned on the wall beside her then moved her eyes up and down my body.

"What's your name?" She asked.

"Jackie," I replied.

"Are you one of Maddy's girls or something? I've never seen you with her before around here," she said.

"I'm not. I am at this party to get something."

"What are you? A drug dealer or something?"

I hissed. "Look, girl. If you don't have anything to do, why don't you find a place to go sit and enjoy the party."

She smirked. "Relax. I'm only asking because I saw you with my brother."

"Brother? Who is your brother?"

"Lucas Hamilton," she said and I blinked.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that." I tensed when she moved away from the wall to eye my body well.

"I'm Ruth by the way and you seem like you're out of place. What business do you have with my brother?"

Her question immediately gave me a bright idea. She was my only chance at getting my phone back and if she could help me, I could leave this party and be home on time without getting in trouble with my parents.

So, I began to tell her everything. Her facial expressions had swapped from amused to shocked in the span of the five minutes I used speaking to her. By the time I was done, Ruth was pinching the bridge of her nose.

"I swear to God, my brother can be foolish and manipulative sometimes," Ruth said and sighed.

 "Okay, I'll help you but I don't know where he could have kept the phone. But, I'll check in his room although not now because he's with his room key. Probably later? Can you wait until then?"

I wanted to object but since she was willing to help, I nodded and Ruth beamed.

"Great!" She said and turned around to leave but turned back. "I apologize for my brother kissing you... Yeah, I saw it. He's a douchebag and needs a lot of brain reset. He always thinks that he can get every girl and you look like you don't even like him like how these other girls behave around him. So, I apologize."

I smiled. "You don't have to. I already forgot about the kiss. All I need is my phone. I'm on a time limit here and all."

"Alright. I'll see you in twenty or thirty minutes. Around that time, my brother should be having some drinking contest of some sort. Bye, Jackie."

I waved at her as she walked away and then exhaled in relief. At least I knew I was getting my phone, hopefully.

"Maybe I should look around to make time move by," I said and went in the direction that Ruth had gone since I saw people moving back and forth around that area.

Ten minutes later, I was lost in this huge mansion. One minute I was looking at the sculptures in the hallway and the next, I was upstairs in another hallway that had no sign of guests even the music was low in this area. I cursed myself for not paying attention to where I was going.

As I took a turn at the end of the hallway, I froze. In front of a door were the boys that had been following me when I came to the party. I gulped and started to back away but one spotted me and nudged the other closer to him. All four of them immediately turned to look at me and I was left with the panic-filled thoughts of running or staying calm.

I took the latter and watched as they walked to me, smiles masking their faces. They stopped before me and exchanged looks, which was too suspicious for my liking.

"Are you looking for Lucas?" The shortest one asked in a normal tone.

"Y-yes...well, not really. I am kinda lost," I replied and the one closest to me sighed and smiled. It was weird how they acted so normal around me after what they did earlier.

"Well, we've been looking for you too. Well, Lucas asked us to find you and give you the phone or whatever he meant," the one who had sighed, said.

My heart leaped in joy at his words. Finally, I would have my phone and leave this place.

"Really? I mean, where is it?"

"It's in that room," another said and pointed at the door they had been standing in front of.

Alarm bells went off in the back of my head, warning me to be careful but when I looked a the time on my watch, it was ten thirty, I nodded my head and motioned for them to lead the way. I needed to head home fast. Walking late at late was dangerous and finding a taxi around this rich neighborhood was hard which meant I will have to stroll out of it before finding one.

"Are you coming?"

I blinked and realized I was still standing while they were already at the door. I smiled and jogged over to where they were. One of them opened the door and he gestured for me to walk into the darkroom. From where I stood, it looked like a bedroom. Maybe it was Lucas'.

I stepped in without hesitating any longer and gave way for them to walk in. Once the door closed, a feeling of fear took over my body. I was alone with four boys. Boys I knew nothing about and if they had any wicked intentions, no one was here to save me.

"So, where is the phone because I need to—"

Panic rose in my body when a hand covered my mouth, cutting me off. I heard them chuckle then I was forced into the front of whoever was covering my mouth.

My eyes widened when three of the boys stepped in front of me with wide grins on their faces. Then, I was pushed into their body before getting dragged to the bed in the room.

"Please, let me go. I don't need the phone anymore," I pleaded once I was pinned to the bed by two of the boys while the other two stood, gazing at my body.

"Oh, calm down. Don't pretend. Lucas told us how feisty you are and that we are going to enjoy you so well," one said and grabbed my ankle.

My heart was hammering so fast in fear. I could already begin to imagine what was to come. On top of it all, I was angry at Lucas.

"Please, don't believe him. Just let me go."

Tears welled up in my eyes when one of them pinning my hands cupped my breast and squeezed. Fear and a wave of anxiety coursed through my body when they started touching my thigh and my other breast. My body went numb and all I could do was struggle against their stronghold.

"You think you can reject Lucas and go free? Nah, we deal with your type who think you are above getting our attention," another said and straddled me.

I opened my mouth to scream but my mouth was covered, as well as my nose. The pain in my heart doubled as I could not breathe. Fear became more intense when the one straddling me began to fondle my breasts and rock onto my stomach. Disgust and deep hatred became intense in me and hot tears rolled down my cheeks.

I screamed behind the hand on my mouth as I wished I could just pass out, not wanting to live through whatever they were doing.

"What the fuck is going on here?!" A feminine voice hollered then I felt the boys scramble off me.I sat on the bed and pushed myself away from the boys backing me and facing whoever had gotten into the room.

"Get out of here! I can't believe you guys would do this! Get out before I call the police!"

I watched as the boys ran out of the room. I bowed my head and started to cry then jumped slightly when I felt warm hands on my shoulders. I raised my head and saw that it was Maddy. Her eyes were wide in fear and I whimpered then wrapped my arms around her.

"I want to go home," I said. I didn't care about the phone anymore. All I wanted was to get away from here and head home. Lucas can burn in hell along with the phone for doing this to me.
