Coolest Girl in Town

He could remember going into the room, and then… all he remembered was pounding her. Yeah, I was a bit rough. She's so skinny. I wonder if she could take it well. Jamie got out of bed and tried to hug her. "I swear, there won't be a next—"

"Don't come near me!" Narissa snapped.

Surprised by her fit of anger, Jamie's hands hung in the air. He was in a hugging position, looking confused. What did I do this time?

Shoot. I almost told him. Narissa put her hair up and walked into the bathroom. She turned the faucet on and splashed her face with cold water without stopping her actions.

Finally noticing something wrong, Jamie tried to enter the bathroom, but it was locked, so he knocked on the door. "Babe? You're scaring me. Tell me what happened. Please don't bottle it up. Babe?"

Narissa didn't hear him. She stared into the mirror, but the one staring back at her looked so… unfamiliar. She had hoped for a monogamous relationship—one where she could spend her life with a single man. She never thought there would be a third wheel, yet here they were. What now? Jamie knew all about Danny getting drugged as well. She couldn't excuse this mistake by chalking it up to carelessness. Yet, so many were drugged, including Jamie. This came as a shock, but it was to be expected.

She spent the whole night wondering if she should just put it aside as Ariel did. However, in the end, she decided that she couldn't. Not when that woman was Alicia. That short meeting was enough to tell her that Alicia still liked Jamie.

What about Jamie? He already feels guilty about not choosing Alicia. If he finds out they had sex, will he still be with me? If he can't be mine and mine alone, then that's not the kind of love I would want. She was in pain. Every time she closed her eyes, she would imagine Jamie smooching Alicia. Sometimes, she would imagine even worse things. Narissa teared up and started crying. No matter how much she tried to wipe her tears away, they wouldn't stop flowing.

"Are you crying? Narissa, I'm going to knock the door down if you're not coming out." Panicked, Jamie rolled his sleeves up. "On the count of three. One… Two… Three—"

Narissa came out just then, looking cold. Beads of water were dripping from her face. She probably just washed her face.

"Are you alright?" He tugged on her sleeve.
