Everyone looked at the video playing on Andrew's phone. And within seconds, everyone's collective gasps were heard. Justin wasted no time in snatching the phone and looking at it himself. His face paled and his hands began to tremble. "Erin.. ", he muttered under his breath. He abruptly stood up and left the cafe.
The video showed Erin kissing some other guy inside the sports room. The video was blur to identify the face of the guy but clear enough to see Erin.
"We had warned Justin from the beginning not to involve himself with Erin. That girl is miles away from loyalty."
"She's surely a playgirl! I've seen her with so many boys of our uni within these few weeks. Not that she cannot have male friends, but she should know her limits while dating someone seriously."
"I'm worried about Justin. It'll be difficult for him to accept this and move on from Erin."
Next Day,
Amelia POV
"If the velocity of fluid increases-say through a narrowing pipe-the pressure must decrease to keep thr total energy constant. That's why airplanes fly: the faster air curved top of the wing lowers the pressure generating lift." Fluid mechanics is one topic I hate the most. I never knew why. I was barely registering the words of the professor. My eyes involuntarily flickered towards Justin. His face as pale as of yesterday's. He was clearly zoned out. Why wouldn't he? His girlfriend was caught kissing some other guy; he would have been upset by the whole time.
Just then, my eyes catch a few girls ogling and commenting at him. Oh yeah, the golden boy of Rosendale University is single now. I focused back at fluid mechanics, which is still better than seeing those girls.
Later that day,
Daisy and I were heading to the cafe to meet our friends. Suddenly, we heard a commotion. On following the sounds, we ended up near the music room, where a large crowd had gathered. We could hear a girl crying uncontrollably and a few boys cursing and fighting.
"Doesn't the girl sound like Sarah?" I asked her. "No, she must be in the café with Liam and others", she denied.
Something didn't feel right. I decided to call Sarah, while Daisy was trying hard to peek through the crowd. Sarah didn't pick my call. I tried to call Liam but the same went with him.
Turning towards Daisy I panicked and said, "Sarah and Liam both are not picking up my calls." Daisy wasted no time, she held my hand and we ran into the crowd. Somehow we pushed ourselves through the crowd and reached the second row. There we witnessed a heart-wrenching sight.
Sarah was crying uncontrollably on her knees and Katherine kneeled beside her, trying to stop Sarah from crying. But with each second Sarah cried more and more. Daisy and I ran towards them and held Sarah to her place. She looked weak, her face was puffed due to the crying and her eyes were swollen completely.
My attention fled to the noise just beside us. I saw Liam there, fighting with two other boys. A surge of panic rushed through my body. He was all bruised on his face and hands. He could barely open his eyes. I instantly reached out for my phone and called Ryan. He wasted no time in picking it up and answered, "We are almost there, Amelia."
Ryan and Andrew came to us and somehow saved Liam. We cleared out the crowd to some extent. Liam was taken to the emergency medical room by Ryan and Andrew, Daisy, Katherine and I didn't leave Sarah alone even for a second. "I-I want to see L-Liam. Please take me to him, p-please," Sarah said between her cries, and her voice choking. Katherine looked at us and nodded her head in denial with a glint of request in her eyes. We knew Liam is being treated and if Sarah sees him in that condition, she would break down even more.
Two hours later,
Author POV
It was almost 6 PM and Amelia, Daisy, Katherine, Sarah, Liam, Ryan and Andrew sat on the couch, chairs and sofa at the boys' apartment; each with a tired and exhausted face. No one, except Liam and Sarah themselves, knew what actually lead to the fight back there at the uni and why was Sarah crying so badly.
"Liam, you have to tell us now. What actually happened there?" asked Ryan. Liam came out of his thoughts, glanced at Ryan and then glanced at Sarah. She was about to break down again but was held firmly by her girls.
Taking a deep breath, Sarah spoke, "They were about to rape me."
What actually happened? Why was Sarah about to be raped? Who were those boys? And what enemity they had towards Sarah and Liam?
