"When the Truth Hurts"
Part 1
The dimly lit living room was filled with the sound of laughter and clinking glasses as the members of Faze gathered on their long L-shaped couch, engrossed in a game of truth or drink. The air was thick with the smell of alcohol and the atmosphere was lively, with everyone having a great time. Even Adapt, who didn't live with the others, had made an exception for the night, and Rage had flown in from Miami to join in on the fun. Jason, with his short fluffy bleach-dyed hair, was swaying slightly as he took his turn, his brown eyes gleaming with a mischievous spark. As the game went on, the questions got progressively more personal, and Jason found himself growing more and more hesitant. When asked if he had slept with more than one person before, he had initially lied, but this time, he decided to tell the truth. "Yes," he slurred, his pale face flushing slightly. Lacy, who was sitting next to him, raised an eyebrow. "Who was it?" he asked, his blue eyes sparkling with curiosity. Jason hesitated, but eventually gave in, his voice barely above a whisper. "One was my ex-girlfriend, the other was someone way older than me." The room fell silent for a moment, with the others exchanging curious glances. Silky, who was sitting across from Jason, leaned forward, his brown eyes locked onto Jason's face. "Who was it that was way older than you?" he asked, his voice laced with a mixture of curiosity and amusement. Jason's face froze, and for a moment, it seemed like he was going to clam up. But then, in a voice that was barely audible, he said, "My teacher." The room erupted into a mixture of shocked gasps and laughter, with Silky exclaiming, "Your teacher!" Jason's face fell, and he looked like he was on the verge of tears. Ron, who was sitting on the other side of Jason, immediately sensed that something was wrong. He could see the pain etched on Jason's face, and he knew that Jason wasn't joking. As the others continued to press Jason for more information, Ron intervened, his voice firm but gentle. "Hey, knock it off, Silky." The room fell silent again, with the others finally realizing that Jason wasn't laughing along with them. Rage, trying to lighten the mood, jokingly asked, "Was she hot?" Jason's response was immediate and devastating. He looked Rage dead in the eye and said, "He raped me." The room fell into a stunned silence, with the others frozen in shock. Ron was the first to react, pulling Jason into a tight hug. Adapt muttered curses under his breath, while Max sat with a murderous gaze, his eyes blazing with anger. The atmosphere in the room had changed in an instant, from one of laughter and camaraderie to one of shock and outrage.
