.....I awaken in darkness. As my dreary, fog-filled eyes open, I try desperately to see my surroundings. Sadly, my efforts are in vain. 'How long was ...I out?' I wonder, 'Why is it so dark?'I try to move, quickly finding out that I'm no longer lying on the pier like I originally thought. My feet are shackled to the wall, same with my wrists. 'Weird,' I think to myself. 'How did I get here? Where's the pier, and the lake?' Suddenly, there's a bright flash, leaving me blind.As the lights begin to. Mmmmm! I moaned, a split second after the fantasy began. I immediately gave in to the arousal that coursed through my veins and pulled Nikki in for a long, passionate kiss. Our tongues danced around in each others mouths, performing a ferocious waltz of perverse love. I knew what I was doing was wrong, but this was a fantasy and I would enjoy every second of it. When our lips finally parted, I glanced around, only to discover everyone staring at us with shock-filled eyes. We stayed that way for. "I'm not sure I know what happened exactly. How did you get Amy to the hospital? How did you get home? You know that your father would have been glad to pick you up in an emergency." Even that late," Wayne put in."Look, I'll give you a blow-by-blow tonight. A neighbor drove her to the hospital, okay?"It was hard to keep her eyes open in class; but then, it often was. Steve got caught nodding off in English. "What were you doing last night, Steve?" Mrs. Foster asked."If you must know, I was. They might even understand. But they can’t go to prison, not like this. If they legitimately get caught one day, they’re prepared for that themselves, but not like this.’ ‘Well they were caught by Driscoll’s guys, weren’t they?’ ‘It’s not the same. The cops didn’t put in the effort of catching them. It’s not fair.’ I felt childish, but it was how I saw it. My parents loved each other. They’d been through everything together. This would tear them apart, in every possible way. It was a fate worse.
