When Asher woke up the next day ,all that happened yesterday replayed in his mind but he couldn't picture the face of the girl that he slept it
" oh geez!,what should I do now ,I can't believe I abused a girl " his mind was in a turmoil as he thought of what to do
"Ash dear ,are you still asleep ?" he heard his mother's voice from the other side of his bedroom door
" yes mom " and his mother entered ," is everything alright son" she asked as she saw his troubled face
'Should I tell what happened,but what If she thinks I did it on purpose she would very disappointed ,ok I won't tell her but what if the girl comes back here then she would know and feel more disappointed " Asher didn't know what to do but after several what ifs ,he decided to tell his mother .
" huh mum I have something to tell you "
" is everything okay???"
" well yesterday during the party ,I think I got very drunk ..."
" you drank alcohol" she gasped as she was obviously shocked
"Well I don't really know but judging from how the drink felt when I drank it ,I think it must be alcohol " he says with uncertainty
" so what happened after you got drunk ??"his mother urged to continue
" after I got drunk ,I felt pressed so I came upstairs to ease myself and when I was about to go downstairsI bumped into a girl and ...."
"Continue "
" well I...kinda dragged her into my room and had sex with her but honestly mom I didn't mean to do it "he quickly defended himself
" you r*ped a girl Asher Wellington Bennett"
'Oh no! She's mad'
" honestly mom I didn't do it intentionally ,it was the effect of the alcohol "
" so who is the girl ,where's she ??"his mother bombarded him with questions
" I don't know ,after I did what I did I slept off so I don't know where she is and I don't really recognize ...her "
" oh Asher what have you done ,was she a humm virgin??
" yes" he nodded vigorously
" geez the poor girl must have been scared ,she would be traumatized all her life,I can't believe my own son did this to an innocent girl " his mother said with tears brimming in her eyes .
" you have to remember who she was ,look for her and you are going to take responsibility of what you did "
" yes mom " he replied as he dropped his head dejected .

journey's phone kept ringing but she didn't bother picking it up ,she just didn't want to talk to anybody .
She knew it wasn't Asher's fault that he slept with her infact it was entirely her fault but she couldn't help but hate his family more ,first the father turned her to an orphan and now the son took her virginity in a very painful way .
'DING'
The doorbell rang and she stood up to open the door for whoever was there .
It turned out to be Nash
" I've calling you for the past hundred decades fireball,what's up??"he joked and then he saw how she was walking "why are you limp...."he couldn't finish his words as she suddenly fell backwards while walking ,he quickly grabbed her by the waist and put her on the sofa
"What's wrong ??" And then she started crying .
" Geez ,journey you are scaring me ,can you tell me what happened??"he said as he wiped her tears
" he to....ok my vir..ginity " she replied as more tears streamed down her face
" who???"
" Asher Bennett "
Nash stilled and he only regained his composure after what seemed like five minutes ,his brain just couldn't process what he was hearing ,he didn't know how to feel about it ,the woman he loved,supported in everything she was doing ,devoted his life and time to had her first time with another man and her enemy at that but no matter how painful it was for him ,he had to console her .
Nash pulled her into his lap and then hugged her tight " shhh ,it's okay ,the world doesn't end there ,I'll make him suffer for everything he did to you ok?? Don't cry "he coaxed .
After putting beau to bed as she fell asleep after crying for a long time ,he knew he couldn't be rash as there was nothing he could do at the moment but he would be sure to teach that scumbag a lesson when the time comes .

" Oliver ,Benjamin ,i need you guys help please ,can you come over right now ?"Asher said on the phone
Oliver: huh ok ,I'm coming
Ben : I'll be there in two jiffs
In ten minutes Oliver and Ben entered the Bennett's mansion
"Dude ,what's the emergency? " Oliver was the first to speak
" sit down and let me explain what happened "
Asher explained all that happened to both guys
" f*ck ,this is bad " Ben said after hearing the story of what happened
" if the girl re appears and claims she is pregnant and worse the media gets a hold of this news ,that would be bad "Oliver chimed
" so what are you going to do now ??"Ben asked
" the thing is I remember the girl was a servant from that catering company but I do not recognise who she is but If I go over to the company ,I'll tell them to provide me with the names and pictures of their staffs who came to work at the party last night ,I'm sure I'll be able to recollect if I see a picture of her??"
Ben:yeah that's a good idea ,so are you going to like take responsibility of her after finding out who she is ??
Ash: yes ,I don't have a choice ,my mom is fussing about it and I'm not about to ruin an innocent girls life so I have to take responsibility.
"By marrying her ??" Oliver exclaimed
"I guess "Asher replied
"Dude do you know what you are getting yourself into ?? You are just 25 for heavens sake and marriage isn't like a normal relationship it's forever ,can't you guys just console her and pay her off??"Oliver suggested
"Guess that's what I'll do ,but I need to find out who she is first"

Back at journey's apartment
After waking up from her nap
She saw that her clothes has been changed ,she wasn't surprised as this was not the first time Nash has done this for her ,he was like the elder brother she never had .
He walked in with a food tray
" oh I see you are awake ,here eat " he said as he put in front of her.
After eating
" how are you feeling now ??"
" I'm okay I guess" she replied
" do you want to talk about it "
She nodded her head
"Actually I arranged for a girl at the company I used as my entrance key to find an excuse to bring his mother upstairs to his room but she never came and the inevitable happened ,I tried to push him away but the effect of the drug made him very strong "
Nash clenched his fists as he heard her narrate what happened at the party
" I feel like I should just give up on this revenge of a thing ,I just hate to see them happy when they made my life miserable "and then tears fell from her eyes again
Nash put his hand on her head and patted it
" everything will be okay ,i'mhere for you and every decision you make I'll support you "
" thanks Nash ,I don't know what I would hVe done without you ".
