Description:
Four years ago I lost my virginity on live, streaming
television.
Too bad I wasn’t awake for it.
The video went viral. Of course it would. A Senator’s
daughter on camera? Wouldn’t you click “share”? Besides, that’s what three of
the four guys in the video did.
Share.
They shared me.
But that fourth guy? The nondescript one in the background in
the upper left corner of the screen, just sitting on the couch? The only one
who did nothing?
Not one single thing.
That was my boyfriend, Drew.
And that was the last time I saw him.
Until today, when my father—now on a path to the White
House—hired him as head of security for my new team as I return home after four
years of “recovering” in an undisclosed location that involved white lab coats,
needles, pills and damage control.
You see, the other three guys never went to jail. Never had
charges pressed.
Never faced consequences.
Until today.
Game on.

Excerpts:
In the video I’m wearing three scarves. One around my
waist as a bright, electric blue belt that cuts neatly through my white, A-line
dress.
One
around my pony tail, a vibrant purple that was supposed to be the “in” color
that season. Maybe even the next season. I think I was trying to be ahead of
the trends. I don’t really remember why I picked it.
Can’t
we just say I liked it? Isn’t that enough?
And,
finally, one around my neck, a red scarf the color of pinched skin and flushed
fever. The color of arousal.
The
color of pain.
When
I got dressed that morning I didn’t know. Couldn’t know.
I
had no idea three fashion accessories would be used to tie me up so a group of
“friends” could assault me. It was as impossible as thinking that my morning
coffee mug would be used to bash in my skull, or that my purse would be used to
choke me. That just doesn’t happen. Shouldn’t happen.
Boring
objects in our lives should not be used to hurt us.
But
those scarves burned. They bound me. They held me in place.
They
gagged me.
Those
objects of beauty became instruments of torture.
I
don’t blame the scarves. They’re just pieces of cloth.
The
men who used them are the ones I hold responsible.
And
the man who did nothing to stop what happened was the worst of all.
Here’s
some basic arithmetic:
Three
scarves.
Four
men.
Three
attackers.
One
boyfriend.
What
do you think hurt me the most? The scarves? The hot, swollen, unlubricated
flesh that violated me like I was just a fold of meat to jack off into? The
wrenched shoulders and torn ACL from being trussed and tied up like something
in a bad porno? The broken cheekbone from being raped from behind so hard my
face smashed into the coffee table leg more times than the ER doctor could
document?
Or
knowing that my boyfriend—my best
friend—just sat there on the couch and watched?
