ASHLEY (broken but strong)

EIGHT

Ashley woke up feeling tired. Very tired. She is sleeping on a bed.She opened her eyes and saw an unfamiliar roof. Where is she? This is definitely not in Layla's house.

She touched her head to remember something. Then she remembered. She was at the party with Layla, them she was drinking juice and she slept off…

She sprang up immediately. To her surprise, she saw people surrounding her.

Layla and four boys were looking at her. Did she fainted? Whatever happened.

“Layla, what happened, where are we?” She asked looking at Layla. The look on Layla's face looks so harsh.

“Ashley” Layla said and started walking around the room.

“You were the perfect girl. The innocent girl, the poshest and the most beautiful girl. Do you know how your existence tormented me?” Layla asked and Ashley was shocked not knowing where the conversation was going.

“You had everything I ever wished for, a beautiful family, big Circe of friends, rich family and a good life. But you never seem to rub it all in my face. Ashley, you are always eager to make me feel bad. Showing me things you know I will never have” Layla said.

Ashley was stunned. What is she saying.

“ You have the life I want, you get all the best things. You are even intelligent while I struggle with my grade. I have to sleep with nasty men to belong while you live everyday in absolute bliss. Ashley, I hate you!!” Layla said screaming.

“Layla, what are you saying? You are my friend and it is not my fault that you don't have what I don't. I am so sorry” Ashley said. She was getting scared.

“ sorry? You are sorry? For what exactly? For oppressing me all the days of my life? Do you even know what you did to me? To my self esteem?” Layla asked wickedly.

“please forgive me Layla, you know how much I love you “ Ashley said and Layla slapped her.

She held her face, crying afresh.

“Love me? How dare you say that you wealthy brat?” Layla snapped.

“ I have nothing more to say to you. Today, you will experience what I have always experienced, loosing my dignity for the things you got freely. You will go through everything I ever felt. Pain. Ashley even when you have lost it all, you still have a rich guy to risk his life for yours. I hate you so much” Layla said dejectedly.

“Please forgive me, don't do this to me” Ashley begged, her voice cracking.

“You are a virgin right? And you are looking forward to your first time with a man that will treat you right. Don't worry, you have men this time and they will treat you well” Layla said with a wicked grin.

“I hope you never recover from this” Layla spat and left her in the room with the four guys.

Ashley wished she was dreaming. That this is not happening. She badly wants to wake up from this dream. She did not know Layla would go this far to hurt her. How did she trust her. Gosh.

The four guys were already shirtless, they were fighting on who should go first. Ashley started screaming, begging Layla to please come back and forgive her. But Layla was gone.

She closed her eyes as the first guy got hold of her legs. He slapped her charging her to keep quiet. She was too weak to struggle. She hopes someone will come into the room and save her. She is about to be abused.

On a normal day, she would have fought terribly even though there are four strong boys in the room but she feels very tired she must have been drugged real bad; to sleep and lose her strength. She whimpered in fear.
