The drive back was silent, at least on my part. Tom kept turning to me asking if I was okay, squeezing my hand and my thigh asking if I needed to go to the doctor. We had stopped at the gas station to get sanitary pads. He had also given me a large shirt to wear. Parking in front of my dorm I turned to Tom and he pulled me into a hug asking if I needed him to walk me up the stairs. I shook my head, kissing me on the head I got out of the car. Walking to my dorm building. Turning to Tom, he didn't move his car, determined on watching me walk to the dorm. From the corner of my eye I noticed a familiar bright orange legging.

"Eva?", I heard from my side. It was Maddie. She looked worried.

"What the fuck happened to you Eva", she said running to me looking at my neck and my clothes.

I turned Tom trying to signal him to leave and he looked at me confused turning his head to the side. Eva traced my gaze to Tom's car her eyes widening and looking at me. I turned to her with pleading eyes knowing what was about to go down.

"He did this?" She said already charging at his car before I could say no.

"Maddie Stop!?"

Maddie ran to Tom's car, and began to knock on his window causing Tom to get out, confused.

"Hey what's going on", Tom said trying to hold Maddie from hitting him.

"Maddie stop".

"What did you do to her!" She said charging at him throwing a punch at Tom. Tom dodging it and slightly pushing Maddie back.

"STOP", I yell from behind Maddie pulling her away from him. Maddie and I struggling with each other. In a matter of time my head started to thump, slowly my legs became weak and I fell to the ground hitting my head on the concrete.

The last thing I heard was an awfully muffled yell from Tom and Maddie calling out to me.

***

I woke up in my bed with a cold towel across my head. Hearing a whimper forming from besides me, peering my eyes open it was Maddie, looking up at me and noticing I was awake she gasped pulling me into a hug. Flinching at my still throbbing head I hugged her back.

Noticing Tom in the background, his eyes were red and weary and my heart broke for him. He came up behind Maddie and she noticed me looking at him. Turning around and giving him a glare before letting me go. Turning to Tom, I hugged him crawling in his lap. From the corner of my eye I noticed Maddie, she looked irritated and rolled her eyes before letting out a loud sigh that caught the both of our attention.

"Tom or whatever your name is...you should go it's getting late, this is a girls dorm, let's not make it weird". I turned to her eyeing her with an angry look on my face, Tom not once giving her any attention held my chin kissing me, I kissed him back feeling out lips touch and his tongue slid inside me gave me some sort of comfort. Distracted by Maddie who was now loudly coughing. Tom pulled away from me kissing my forehead and adjusting my pillow for me insisting that I lay on it. Whispering to me, "I'll call you, okay?" I nodded squiring Tom's hand. Tom shut the door leaving me and Maddie in a awkward silence. Maddie turned to me sitting in her bed.

"I can't fucking believe this right now", she said sighing and resting her face in her palm. The truth is I didn't need Maddie to scold me right now, I needed comfort.

"Eva can you just please tell me what happened...please" . She said, hearing a crack in her voice. I sighed, sitting up.

"I just went to his house and...we did it, it's not as bad as it looks, it's just that I bled really bad after". I mutter trying my best to explain to her.

"You have bruises on your thighs and your shoulders Eva it looks so bad...looks like you have bites...like I understand hickeys but these look like legitimate bite marks...I'm so close to reporting this".

"It's nothing Maddie, please just stop...he's into biting I guess". I say chucking under my breath. Trying to make fun of the situation. I knew Tom was peculiar, being that he didn't say much of himself and he was a perfect depiction of a dream guy. I resorted to thinking he had weird kinks...but biting, never thought of that.

Maddie mean mugged me, "there's nothing funny about that Eva, can't you see the obvious red flags, into biting, really? The next thing you know he's gonna tie you to his bed", Maddie yelled. I tried to hold in my laugh. "I actually have a rope kink-

"Eva shut up!". Maddie screamed cutting me off.

"Have you told your mom", she asked. I turned to Maddie, she knew we didn't talk about my mom yet she would bring her up when she was supposedly "worried" about me.

"Maddie you act like you don't have weird kinks...and no, I don't wanna tell my mom, and neither should you".

"Eva?!", Maddie yelled.

"Why are you all of a sudden obsessed with who I date or who I fuck! Did you wanna take my virginity or something or use me as some kinda sacrifice jeez Mads chill the fuck out". I say snapping at her.

"It's cuz I love you Eva".

"I love you too Mads, but can we just get off the topic, it's my life alright?". I stretch to turn of the lights and Maddie sighs getting in her bed. For the first time she didn't say good night, or kiss me on my forehead. I just wanted to have a life without people regulating me.

I didn't ask for a mom...I asked for a friend.
