Nothing could have prepared me for the onslaught brought on by the media coverage of my kidnapping because of Tyler's family fame. I knew he came from money and I knew his family was influential but I really didn't have an idea of how influential they were until now. I really understood now why Tyler only used one last name because the other carried to much weight and notoriety in our community. I was mortified, this is exactly what I didn't want to happen, this is the reason I didn't want to go to the police and report anything. I can't leave the house, from the minute I was cleared and discharged from the hospital and I set foot outside I had a camera in my face, people shouting questions at me, asking me lewd questions if Tyler was my new sugar daddy, who was I, where did I come from, and was I only with him for his money and so on.
Tyler just shoved them out of the way and kept going not even giving them the time of the day and that only proved to incite them even more. Now they were winging it digging into my background reporting that I was a prostitute for hire that my pimp tried to kill me after running off with a prominent doctor, and more. It wasn't until Grandma threatened to sue them did they lay off the speculations, but they kept calling for an interview, cajoling and cohercing us to tell our side of what I thought was absolutely none of their business.
I was okay with it if Tyler was okay with it, that was until after everything settled down and after a three week hiatus, I went back to school. I was called into the Dean's office and was promptly told that my grades were in question because of academic misconduct, and that I was hereby suspended from classes until further notice. I tried to plead my case but the stoic overbearing Dean just looked at me like I was filth and dismissed me from his office.
Fuming, I stomped off and I contemplated going straight to Tyler's class and demand he do something, but what could he do. I knew the real reason they were calling my grades into question. It was the simple fact that I was with him in the first place, and that I was a prostitute so I am automatically unethical enough to sleep my way through my grades. I was stopped in my tracks halfway across the quad by a professor I vaguely recognized as the man that was with Tyler that day in the cafeteria. He was lewdly smirking at me. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me close to him and his pungent breath hit me directly in the face.
"I wish I had a chance to get a piece of your cute ass at Ty's party, it must be good if he moved you in. How much for a taste?" He smirked at me some more and that was the final straw that broke the camel's back. Now his friends felt it was alright to proposition me.
I hauled back and hawked a good one and spit it all right into his shocked face. I spun on my heel and took off; where I was going, I don't know but I had to get out of here. I ran for who knows how long before my legs hurt and my lungs burned. I found myself in the park just blocks away from where Anton's townhouse was located. I just dropped down under the huge willow tree, and I hid myself under the massive drooping branches. I wanted to hide from the world and everyone in it. My life as I knew was crumbling around my ears. I had to use my body after financial aide ran out and I didn't want to spend my life paying back student loans, so I did what I had to do and now they are telling me I must have cheated or slept my way to get where I was.
Tears coursed down my cheeks, all I wanted to do in my life was help people feel better, to make a difference, to study the body and they illnesses that affect it and to see if there was anything that can be done to prevent or circumvent the damage that can occur to the human anatomy, but now I can't and I am about to be kicked out of school because I happened to fall in love with a professor and I had a dubious job to pay for it. Tyler was too good a person for his name and reputation to be dragged through the mud like this. I needed to go someplaceanatomy else, I need to get away, and I needed to do it now. Tyler would get over it and the scandal would blow over if I was gone.
