OLIVIA SHEPHERD'S POV
"Olivia are you okay?. Wake up". I heard Amber say as someone was shaking my shoulders.
I opened my eyes slowly looking about my surroundings. I was still on the yacht.
"What happened?". My voice was groggy.
"You fainted". Amber sighed, helping me to sit up. If Tobby hadn't caught you in time, I don't know what would have happened to you". Amber was almost in tears.
"I'm sorry. It's probably my sugar". I lied. The shock of seeing my rapist again scared me into unconciosness.
"You looked genuinely scared like you had seen a ghost". Amber stared at her skeptically.
"I'm ok Amber don't worry. It was nothing". I faked a smile.
"Can I ask you something?". Amber sounded worried as she sat next to me on the deck chairs.
"Sure". I replied, pretending to be nonchalant.
"Do you know Tobby?. You said his name before you passed out".
I stiffened, my breath hitching in my throat. "I...he.....". I couldn't form coherent words.
"I'm sure she follows me on i********:. I'm a celebrity coach after all". Tobby's voice sounded nearby as he suddenly appeared near Amber. His cold eyes glared at me in warning and I cowered in fear.
"Yes...yes.. I follow him on i********:". I confirmed his lie.
Amber cheered up instantly. "So you are a fan?". She mused. "Well you can thank me later for letting you meet your idol". Amber laughed heartedly.
I forced a smile, completely dumbfounded by the fact that my rapist was standing in front of me with his arm around my best friend's waist.
"When Amber told me her best friend would be joining us I didn't realize it was a groupie". Tobby rolled his eyes at me.
"Stop teasing her Tobby". Amber laughed
I responded with an awkward smile.
"Olivia, you should go get changed, so we can all go up to dinner together. We are eating on the rooftop deck tonight". Amber said, completely missing the strangeness of my interaction with Tobby
She snapped her fingers again at another member of the yacht staff and the staff member came scurrying towards her.
"Will you show Miss Shepherd to her room?"
"Of course, Miss Sterling. If you will follow me, Miss Shepherd". The woman said and started walking towards the double doors leading into the ship.
I glanced back at Tobby and Amber and quickly wished I hadn't. Tobby was kissing Amber again, and he winked at me as his hand started sliding down her back. I turned away quickly before I had to see where his hand landed.
"You are in the first room to the right, Miss shepherd."
"Thank you". I smiled at her.
"There is an intercom in your room. If you need anything, just press the button, and someone downstairs will respond". She added.
I nodded and opened the door to my room. The size and luxury of the room was typical 'Sterling Family' style. The main room housed a king-size bed covered in a white silk comforter. There was also a lounge area with two modern black leather sofas. My suitcase was already waiting for me on an ottoman at the foot of the bed.
I sighed and threw myself onto the bed face down in the comforter. It seemed like a bad dream that Tobby was here, pretending he didn't know me. Pretending he was a good person.
I got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom. There was no reason to be afraid of Tobby. I hadn't done anything over the past year to warrant punishment. I kept to myself and was not rude to other people. Moreover, he was with Amber now and if anything at all, there was no way he could hurt me on this yacht.
I took my time unpacking each item of clothing and hanging it in the closet. I picked out a knee-length black dress and changed into it.
Just as I finished touching up my makeup, I heard the click of the door latch opening.
"Hello Olivia".
My heart raced and I backed away from Tobby as he entered my room and locked the door. He chuckled, stepping towards me.
"Please, I didn't do anything wrong, I swear". I whispered as his hand gripped my jaw painfully.
"Tsk tsk...are you trying to seduce me already?". He asked as his eyes roamed over my body. "You know I love it when you beg me like that".
I whimpered, tears already falling from my eyes.
"Who would have thought that little miss Olivia is friends with such a wild cat like Amber". He smirked.
I understood his words immediately and I began to panic. "Mr Hastings please don't hurt her please. Amber is a good girl".
He laughed. "What makes you think I want to hurt Amber?. I really like her.....and her family fortune. Unfortunately, I'm more worried about you". His fingers grazed my lips.
"Please Mr Hastings. I won't say anything I promise". My body was shaking due to fear.
"Oh I know you wouldn't dare but I need to make sure of that". He smirked. "I think you need a little reminder of what will happen to you if you disobey me".
My breath hitched. "No no no no please I swear, I will be quiet please". I put my hand up to stop him from coming any closer.
"Calm down, I just wanted to take a good look at you. It's been almost a year my little rebel".
His hand moved between my legs and I clenched my fists fighting back tears. His hand moved until he found my panties, then he pushed it aside and slipped a finger into me. I gasped at the invasion.
"Does Amber know you are such a slut?. Look how eager you are for me to f**k you". He continued to push his finger deeper into me. "Soo f*****g tight, you would think no one has f****d you since"
He looked into my eyes and desire and realization flashed through his.
I shuddered in fear. "Mr-mr- Hastings. To-obby please".
He chuckled. "Oh my god. No one?. s**t now I have to f**k you to be sure".
"Please. Please don't do this here if Amber......" .
He let go off me at the mention of Amber. "You are right. I'm with Amber now". He grinned devilishly.
I crumbled to the floor.
"If Amber ever finds out about who I really am or what exactly happened I will make sure the whole football team takes turns to f**k you". His gaze grew cold.
I nodded quickly fearing that I might anger him if I delayed.
"Good girl. See you at school after the summer break". He opened the door then paused. "I'm your new coach thanks to Amber. I'm really looking forward to personally training you after school". He winked and left the room.
I sat on the floor sobbing. I was done for. I was totally done for.
"Hey, are you ready? Everyone else is here, and we are all heading up to eat," Amber said as she came into the room a few minutes later.
She found me curled up in a ball in the corner of the room crying.
"Oh my god Olivia what happened?!. Are you having a panic attack. I'm sorry I shouldn't have forced you to come here. You needed more time".
"No no". I wiped my face and stood up. "I'm okay. Let me just fix my makeup". I said forcing a smile.
I walked out of the ensuite with Amber and followed her out into the hallway, where some of our old friends and some new ones were. The whole group was here. Megan, Freya, Samantha, Jarred, Darell and Jeremy. They were my old friends. They excitedly rushed to hug me, gushing over how good I look and how they had missed me this past year.
After we had all settled down, Amber introduced me to her new friends. They were mostly Tobby's friends. Luke, George, Tatiana and Lily. My hands were sweating due to fear as I was focused to make small talk with everyone. Tobby watched me closely, his eyes shooting daggers at me.
I was grateful when the waiters brought plate after plate of food and set it in front of each of us. Amber joked about saying a prayer before we all began to eat the delicious meals.
"Megan, I hear you made team captain of the swim team congratulations". George, a twenty four year old brown hair friend of Tobby said. He grinned at Megan, his eyes lingering on her ample chest.
Megan had on a long white dress which reached her ankles. The sleeves reached her elbows but the dress was soo tight that it seemed her big breasts would fall out at any least provocation.
"Oh yes. I'm soo excited. Senior year is going to be soo lit". Megan beamed as she cut into her stake.
"Can't wait to meet all the hot girls from first year". Jarred mused. He was such a playboy.
"You are such a slut. Where you not making out with Jena before the break?. Why didn't you come with her". Jeremy raised his brow at him defiantly.
I gasped in shock. "You made out with Jena?". The words left my mouth before I could stop it.
Everyone turned to look at me and I lowered my head to avoid their gaze.
"Oh he didn't only make out with Jena". Amber laughed, clearly excited to rat Jarred out. "He lost his V card".
I was in shock. I always thought Jarred would be the last of us to loose his V card. Don't get me wrong, he was handsome, in a nerd kind of way. However, he always had his nose buried in his books if our group wasn't hanging out.
"It's not like I'm the only one in the group to loose their V card, Freya did too". Jarred hissed, feeling embarrassed.
"Hey you weren't supposed to tell anyone!". Freya frowned.
"Wait what?.". Megan felt upset. "You guys this is not what we promised. I can't believe you guys are already having s*x. I broke up with my boyfriend just to keep this promise".
"We are not having s*x, I did it just one time okay". Jarred confessed.
"I only did it a couple of times". Freya muttered.
"How many is a couple of times?". Samantha chuckled.
"You are one to talk. I saw you sneaking out of the boys locker room one time". Freya shot back.
"It doesn't mean I had s*x". Samantha giggled.
"What were you doing there then?". Amber asked, taking a sip of her drink.
"She was with me". Darell answered. "I needed my inhaler".
"Inhaler?. Do you have asthma?". I gasped.. s**t. Why was I talking again?!.
"Yes I do. I didn't want my coach to know". He sounded uncomfortable
"You should have told us Darell, we are friends". Amber reached out to touch his hand.
"Sorry I kept it from you guys". He muttered.
"I can't wait for us to be done with high school" Freya said. "I'm going to f**k all the hot boys in college!". She declared.
"Too much information". Samantha chuckled.
"Well as your future coach I advice you to use protection". Tobby chuckled.
"How was it like the first time?". Megan asked.
Freya blushed and lowered her head.
"I bet she was too drunk to remember". George smirked
"Hey I remember everything ok. It was wonderful". Freya smiled broadly.
"Who was it with?". Lily, a dark haired girl who was one of Toby's friends asked.
Freya fidgeted with her fork, refusing to speak.
"Hey leave her alone". Darell frowned at the older girl
"Can we change the topic?. Amber said noticing Freya's discomfort.
"I want to know if Olivia is still a virgin". Tobby suddenly said.
Everyone turned to look at me. My heart raced. What was he doing?.
"Of course Olivia is still a virgin. She would have told me if she lost it". Amber lied to defend me.
"Oh come on, she is beautiful but too timid I doubt she has lost her vcard. She will probably die a virgin". Tatiana laughed. She was one of Toby's friends too, with long straight golden hair and fake boobs to match.
"You never know. The quiet ones are the most-".
"Leave her alone Tobby". Amber frowned.
Seeing that he had upset her, He quickly shifted his gaze from me to her.
"You are the sexiest woman I have ever met". Tobby said as he ran his hand up her arm.
"You two are the absolute cutest". Freya beamed
"Oh, I know, right?. Tobby said smugly.
I ate my meal in silence and tried my best not to watch Amber and Tobby. However, it was hard to ignore the fact that Tobby had abandoned his meal and was instead licking Amber's neck. She laughed, ran her fingers into his mess of brown curls, and pulled his face to hers.
I made it all the way to the dessert course before I couldn't take it anymore and quietly slipped away from the table under the pretence of using the washroom
As the door closed behind me, a few tears started streaming down my face. I had to get back to my room before anyone found me crying. I quickly wiped the tears from my cheeks and did my best to keep any more from falling.
The day's events had finally hit me in full force. I was angry and hurt and scared. I didn't know what Tobby had in-store for me on this four days trip.
I was so distracted in my thoughts that I ran straight into a rock-solid chest.I stumbled backwards. All I could see was a dark suit jacket.
"I am sorry. I should have been watching where I was going". I said while trying to strain my neck to look at the tall figure before me.
I was met with the most dazzling eyes I had ever seen. He was nearly six foot three, brown hair, chiseled chin and a body built for the gods.
"Are you okay?. He asked as he reached out to hold me.
I backed away from him in fright, lowering my head clenching my fists.
I'm fine. So-rry sor-ry for bum-ping into y-ou sir". I muttered.
He stood there saying nothing for a while. When I made a move to leave, he blocked my path. I gulped, my body trembling in fear.
"Are you one of Amber's friends". He asked, his voice was gentle, yet commanding.
"Ye-s ye-s sir". I answered
"Elliot. You can call me Elliot".
I dared to raise my heard again but looked down immediately our eyes met. "Yo-u you are Am-ber's bro-ther?". I was surprised, he looked much more taller and hotter than I remember.
"Yes. What's your name?". He asked casually.
"Oli Oliv-ia". I stammered praying he wouldn't remember me
"Oh you are Olivia. You look different, more docile. The Olivia I remember was as fierce as my little sister". He laughed.
I gulped. I was expecting him to lash out at me for the pranks his sister and I played on him all those years before I stopped coming to their house a year ago. Instead he touched my shoulder and I flinch.
He raised his hand in surrender. "Sorry". He stepped aside. "You may pass".
I quickly rushed past him into my room and locked the door.
