Day 2 - 19th May
"Dad told me what happened."
Lucy looked up to see the familiar face of her twin sister. She had had a difficult night and had not had much sleep, so it was a welcome sight. As she led in her bed last night she'd reflected on what had happened earlier that day and had started to regret it. She couldn't understand why she had let it happen and she was more than a little ashamed at how much she had enjoyed it and wanted it.
But it was more the future that she was worried about. What had she let herself in for? What was this guy - Steve - going to do her? And make her do? She didn't know him at all. They had barely spoken. What was this guy capable of? She didn't feel any excitement about it at all right now, just fear, and she couldn't reconcile what she was feeling now to what she felt at the crash site. It was 10am, but she had already been awake for four or five hours just thinking. And worrying.
To Christina, Lucy looked shaken. This wasn't what she was expecting. Her dad had told her that Lucy seemed to be ok last night. She walked into the room and sat on the edge of Lucy's single bed.
"How are you doing?" she asked.
"I'm fine" Lucy replied, not particularly convincingly.
"I know you far too well to believe that. You look worried. But it's understandable. I mean, to have been in a crash like that, for it to affect you. Dad said you weren't hurt at all though, is that right?"
"Yes, I told you, I'm fine."
"Something's up hun, what is it?"
Lucy and Christina had no secrets. They had told each other everything in the past, held nothing back, and knew each other inside out. They even both knew the intimate details of the other's sexual experiences and Lucy thought about telling her sister about what happened. Now didn't seem like the best time, but she knew she'd have to tell her eventually. So although she wasn't really ready, after weighing it up briefly she decided to just let it out.
"It's not the crash."
"What? What else has happened? It's not Chris again is it?" Chris was Lucy's last boyfriend who hadn't taken too well to the break-up.
"No, it's not. It's kind of related to the crash though."
"How? What do you mean?"
"It's the guy in the car that I crashed into. We did some things."
Lucy was speaking cryptically and was not her usual clear self. Christina couldn't work out what she was trying to say.
"What kind of things?"
"Things I'm not sure we should have done. But it's because of the crash. The crash was my fault."
"But Dad said it was the other guy's fault, that he crashed into you. Dad said he'd even admitted it when he saw him."
"Yes, but it's not true. Steve agreed to take the blame for me."
"Hun, you're not making much sense. Why don't you start from the beginning?"
"OK, OK. I was on my way back from uni and I was driving through the lanes a bit too fast. I got to the T-junction near Mrs Jones's, pulled out and just didn't notice this car coming from the other direction. We were both ok, but the cars took a bit of a hammering. I don't really know how we came out of it so well.
"But I just got worried about the insurance. I'm not fully covered on Dad's car and I knew he'd go mental if the insurance company didn't pay out - the damage was pretty bad, I think it might be a write-off. So I tried to get Steve, the driver of the other car, to take the blame."
"How on earth did you manage to do that? That's not something most people would just agree to." Christina was intrigued. There was clearly more to this than she had anticipated and she wanted to know what happened.
"Well, I couldn't really think of anything to offer. I mean, it's not like I've got any money or anything. So the only thing I could think of was to say I'd give him a blow job." She looked up at her sister, with her cheeks bright red with embarrassment and a helpless, guilty looking face.
"Oh my God! You sucked him off!" Christina was shocked by the revelation and couldn't believe her sister had done something like that.
"Shhhh! I don't want Mum or Dad to hear! No, I just offered, but he didn't agree to that. Which was a bit of a relief as I wasn't sure I really wanted to do it anyway. But I couldn't think of anything else, and that's when he gave me his idea.
"I didn't like it. He told me the only way that he would take the blame was if I agreed to be his slut for three months and that he could do whatever he wanted to me."
Christina's jaw dropped.
"You're not serious - there's no way! What kind of guy says that? What did you say? What did he do? Oh my god!"
"That's what he said and that's what he wanted. Obviously I wasn't going to agree to that. But even though I tried, I couldn't tell him no. I couldn't say I didn't want it. I didn't say yes. But I didn't say no. I was just shocked. Frozen. Didn't know what to do."
"So what happened?" This was getting juicier and Christina was now wide-eyed, eager to know all of the gory details.
