Bury the Hatchet or Bury a Friend

Victoria walked down the hall in nothing more than a pair of white panties that rode up her thick ass and a small vest that strained to contain her bountiful, youthful breasts. A few days ago, the blonde teen would never have walked the halls of this cabin so exposed, where a boy might see her, where she might tempt and tease him. Not that she hadn’t always been proud of her body. She knew she looked good, but her body wasn’t meant to be shared like that, given away like a poster on a billboard for anyone to see. So, she had been guarded and reserved, trying to maintain, not only the purity of her own thoughts, but the purity of other’s too.

That was then, but now, she didn’t care. She was feeling good. She’d fallen asleep to the best orgasm last night, having spent a whole night slipping and indulging in her baser desires and nothing had happened. Nothing had gone wrong. She stretched out the tightness in her muscles, her arms above her head as she walked, a content smile upon her face. For the first time in a while, she thought that maybe she could be happy. She didn’t have to be so shy, but she didn’t have to be the slut either. Maybe a balance could be achieved…

She stopped in her thoughts and in her tracks as she entered the living room and seeing that someone else was also up. Moving around the sofa though, she realized that they weren’t awake, simply sleeping on the couch, sitting up, head leaning back against the back cushion. But the fact that Gavin Westher had slept on the couch and not in his bed was not the most interesting thing about her find. What struck her first, and most of all, was the fact that he was naked, his semi-hard cock resting between his legs.

This was the first time she had seen him naked, fully naked, since she’d caught him fucking Chloe, she realized. Though she should have simply woke him, she found herself standing still and silent, staring at the comatose teen. Would he be embarrassed, she wondered? Perhaps she should back away and pretend that she saw nothing. But, her brain began working, imagining how he got there, though that seemed obvious, and who he had been with. Not that she had any right to be upset if he fucked other girls, considering that she, herself, had moved on.

She was still contemplating the sleeping boy when Ashley walked in, still in her sleep clothes, loudly asking, “What are you doing?” before she saw Gavin on the couch, and it became quite obvious what Victoria had been doing.

Ashley’s words caused Gavin to wake with a start, looking around at first, confused at his surroundings, then at the two blonde girls standing nearby, looking incredulously back at him. Only then did he cast an eye downwards, as he began to feel a slight chill and realized that he was completely naked in front of the clothed girls. He jumped to his feet and gathered up his clothes, what little there was, hastily apologizing as he dashed from the room.

“Shit, sorry, sorry,” he said as he passed the girl, glancing sheepishly at Ashley as he added, “I fell asleep.”

Victoria watched Gavin go for a moment, his bare ass wagging at her as he half-ran, crouched towards his room. Then she turned her green eyes to Ashley as the other blonde turned and walked into the kitchen with a chuckle. She bit her lip suspiciously, replaying the look between Gavin and Ashley in her head and deducing that something had definitely happened between them. Of course, she shouldn’t have cared, she told herself, but that didn’t stop her following her friend into the kitchen.

“What was that?” Victoria asked from the doorway.

“What was what?” Ashley replied coolly as she busied herself replacing the coffee filter, still not having completely forgiven Victoria for her part in breaking up her relationship with Zack simply because it conflicted with Shawn’s plans.

“You know what,” Victoria said, crossing her arms, her own voice tightening at Ashley’s attitude.

“Gavin fell asleep on the couch, like a doofus,” Ashley offered, her lips forming a slight smile. “Why are you asking me about it?”

“I’m not blind,” Victoria reminded her, stepping into the kitchen, closer to the coffee pot, so that Ashley couldn't help but look up at her. “I saw that…moment…between you and Gavin. Did you have sex with him last night?”

“I don’t see how that’s any of your business any more really,” Ashley argued as she trashed the old filter and coffee grounds. “You broke up with him, and you burned our friendship when you made damn sure that Zack broke up with me.”

“Yeah, what about Zack?” Victoria countered, raising her eyebrows. “Weren’t you shouting about getting him back last night?”

“Again, not your business,” Ashley stood her ground, pouring the new grounds into the new filter. “I thought you’d have learned by now that things don’t end well when you stick your nose in.”

“I’ve made mistakes, I don’t deny that, and I took advantage and fucked someone I shouldn’t,” Victoria admitted with a frown. “But I don’t see how what you’re doing to Zack, and to Gavin is any better.”

“Fine, if it’ll get you off my back, I broke up with Zack last night. I realized the whole dating thing was something I was just using to make myself feel better about myself, to give me worth,” Ashley explained, a touch of bitterness and anger in her voice, as she filled the coffee jug with water and poured it into the filter machine. “But it’s not like I was going to become a nun, and I was horny when I got home, so I fucked Peter and then I fucked Gavin. There, now you know, happy?”

“I’m happy you’re not cheating on Zack,” Victoria confessed, pivoting away from Ashley and relaxing as she leaned back against the counter. “So, what? Are you gonna start dating Gavin now?”

“I’m not going to start dating anyone. That was the point, for me to be single for a while, so I told Zack to move on and go get his girl. But I didn’t take single to mean sexless,” Ashley elaborated as she pushed the button and listened to the coffee maker whirl to life. “These last few nights, Gavin and I just always happen to be awake at the same time in the same place at night and we ended up taking care of each other. At first it was just masturbation, then it was oral, but last night, we did…” Ashley paused as she turned her head to look straight at Victoria. “We fucked.”

Victoria chewed her lip, staring back at Ashley. Was she trying to make her jealous, just to twist the knife slightly? Instead, Victoria took the high road. “Well, I have nothing to say about it if no one is being hurt then. I just want everyone to be happy, even if you’re not my friend anymore.”

Sighing, Ashley finally looked away, looking now at the dripping coffee filling the jug. “It’s not like I don’t want you to be my friend again. You have no idea how much has been going on lately that I’ve just wanted to run and tell you…but I can’t, because you just don’t feel like my friend anymore. You’re like a completely different person.”

“I know I haven’t been myself,” Victoria confessed. “But I don’t know how to go back. I don’t even know if I want-”

A scream filled the house before Victoria could finish her sentence. It was loud and piercing, but short, and extremely close. Both Ashley and Victoria cocked their heads towards the living room at the same time, sharing a look of concern before running towards the source. In the other room, Chloe, Madison, Kurt and Kendra were all awake and all standing in front of the television, watching the news. Kendra stood wide eyed, with Kurt beside her, his hands on his head, almost covering his ears from having to hear. Chloe had screamed, her hands now covering her mouth. Madison was looking away, over the sofa, and she was the first to spot them as Ashley and Victoria re-entered the living room.

“Victoria…” Madison said breathlessly, causing the others to turn and look at her too, in absolute terror.

Confused, Ashley and Victoria turned their attention to the television, and the news channel, reporting the local news.

[…the blunder wasn’t noticed until late in the morning, when newspaper bundles had already been disputed to outlets in town. Some observant sellers noticed right away and reported the indecent imagery, while other careless sellers had already sold a number of copies of the tainted papers before they were all recalled. Police are now attempting to locate and seize all copies from the Azure Rocks Nugget distribution list, but the Chief of Police admitted that they were unlikely to retrieve every issue back…]

“I don’t understand,” Victoria said, shaking her head as she heard her parent's paper mentioned. “What’s going on?”

[…Investigations into how every image in the paper could have been replaced is ongoing. Initial reports suggest that it was some sort of hack, but questions are being raised as to how much this constitutes indecent exposure and to what extent the Walkers can be prosecuted for distributing inappropriate material. Police are currently looking for Victoria Walker for questioning…]

“What?” Victoria looked around at everyone. “What for?”

“Vic…those photos that Shawn took…” Kurt said, casting his own eye around as everyone shrunk back. “He found a way to get into your parent’s printing system and replaced every photo in this morning’s issue of your parent’s paper with one of your face…covered in his…um…semen.”

“No…no…that can’t be true…no…” The shock consumed her, until the only word she could mutter was ‘no’. She shook her head repeatedly as she backed slowly from the room, looking around for someone to tell her it was a lie, a joke, a really bad joke.

A loud knock came upon the cabin door, making everyone jump. The rapping spooked Victoria so bad that she turned and ran towards the bedroom.

“The police?” Chloe guessed, looking at the door.

“Likely,” Kurt agreed, staring down the hall as the bedroom door slammed shut. “We have to stall them, until Victoria has had time to process this.”

“I’ll do it,” Ashley offered, already moving towards the door. “You should check on Vicky.”

Kurt nodded, and hurried off back to the bedroom. Madison hopped over the couch and followed after, declaring, “I’m coming too.” Kurt had no time to protest, and he didn’t really mind much, his thoughts entirely on Victoria and how devastated and violated she must feel.

With a deep breath, Ashley opened the door.
