Chapter 59

Grayson’s POV

Jessica and I spent a lot more time together after the ugly incident with Rudd.

I told Chase about it, and while he did seem remorseful, he didn’t look surprised.

“You don’t look surprised.” I observed.

“Are you?” He retorted.

“Come on man. This is our friend here.” I said, hitting him on the chest.

“Whatever.” He said, looking away. “We all knew she’s had this sort of thing coming. I mean, she’s been sleeping with him since forever. The school trip was their honeymoon. They’ve been in all sorts of clubs and hotels since then. It’s on school property and so it becomes rape?” He asked.

“No man.” I said, annoyed that he was thinking that way. “She was drugged.”

Chase turned to me, alarmed, and then tried to mask it.

“You see what I’m talking about?” I asked him, pressing the severity of it in. “And then he goes ahead to leave the school.”

“I did that.” Chase said.

“You drugged Jessi…?” I asked.
