A Drunk Birthday

 I woke up the day after my birthday on the floor, naked. I had no idea what happened. But it turns out it didn’t matter that I didn’t remember because when I looked at my phone I saw everyone that happened. There were so many videos posted online with me tagged in each and every one of them.

I looked at my phone and saw walls of naked pictures of me twerking, posing, chugging booze, spreading my cheeks, thumbing my ass, and so so much more. The color on my face didn’t exist as I stared in shock at all of these posts. “What happened last night? How much did I drink?” I said to myself. “Oh God, so many people have seen this.”

Then the phone went off. I reluctantly answered it. “Hi, Mom,” I said, awkwardly, praying she didn’t see the posts on social media.

“Hey, Iris,” my mom said. “How was your night out? Did you enjoy your 21st birthday?”

“I... did,” I said, trying not to falter in my speech.

“You did, did you?” my mom said. “Well good, that’s good. How much did you drink last night?”

“A few shots,” I said. “I honestly don’t remember.”

“I see,” my mom said. “Iris, do you know why there are naked pictures of you on Facebook?”

I blushed and cringed. “Um, I don’t know why they’re on Facebook,” I said. “I really don’t remember anything.”

“I’m sure you don’t,” my mom said. “Well I found out after your uncle was so kind to show me all those lovely photos of you. There’s even a video of you running around the streets naked and chugging some Coors I think it was.”

“I’m sorry, mom,” I said. “Honestly, I don’t remember anything.”

“Well, on the bright side you don’t have to worry about wearing clothes anymore. Everyone’s seen every inch of you,” my mom said. “In fact, I think I’ll frame and hang that one of you with your thumb up your ass. I’ll put it right in the foyer so everyone can see my lovely daughter and what she did on her 21st birthday. Does that sound good to you?”

“No, please,” I pleaded. “Mom, I’m sorry I drank too much, but please. Please don’t hang up photos from it.”

“Here’s the deal. You are not to drink another sip of alcohol for the whole year. And maybe by your next birthday we can all forget this all happened,” my mom said.

“Yes, mom,” I said.

“I’ve got to deal with your father. I’ll talk to you later. Bye, Iris,” my mom said.

I hung up before my mom had a chance to saya anything more. I put my head in my hands as my face burned red. I couldn’t even remember everything I did. Not that it mattered because the photos were evidence enough to get a good idea.

Then the phone buzzed again. My face paled. “Hello, Tommy,” I said, nibbling my bottom lip.

“Hey, Iris,” Tommy said. “Did you have fun last night?”

“I... I’m sorry, Tommy,” I cried not able to hold back my tears as my hands shook.

“Hey, I was just joking,” he said sympathetically. “Are you okay? Open the door.”

“What?” I sniffled.

“Open the door, Iris. Let me in,” Tommy said.

I trudged over to the door and opened it. Tommy entered and immediately hugged me as I cried. “I’m so embarrassed, Tommy. Everyone saw me naked. And doing stuff. I can’t believe I got so drunk last night! My first time drinking and I make an utter fool of myself,” I cried.

“Hey, it’ll be okay,” Tommy said. “I mean, it’ll be brought up a lot during family reunions and holidays, but this’ll probably blow over.”

“Tommy, I’m naked on the internet thumbing my ass,” I sobbed. “No one is going to just forget about that. And I can’t even take it down.”

I clung to Tommy as I sobbed. He sat down, pulling me over to the couch. We snuggled tightly. “Iris, it’ll be okay,” he said.

“So many people saw me,” I cried.

“Maybe stay away from alcohol for a bit, but Iris I know it seems bad, but it’ll get better,” Tommy said. “Please, don’t cry.”

“What do I do, Tommy?” I sniffled. “My mom probably hates me, and my dad... my dad’ll be devastated.”

“Let’s work to take down the posts first,” Tommy said. “I’m sure there’s gotta be moderation systems that’ll take them down.”

Tommy looked at his phone again. “Look,” he said. “It seems they’ve been taken down.”

“Really?” I said.

“Yeah. I guess maybe some people reported it as inappropriate so it’s removed,” he said. “Now from here we just need to move forward.”

“Thank you, Tommy,” I said. “It means a lot you’re here for me. I don’t... I don’t even remember what really happened. I mean I know from the photos, but... I just can’t. Did I really drink that much?”

“I know you went out with Abby and Tay,” Tommy said. “You guys went to a club I think. And I guess that’s where everything unfolded I guess.”

“You didn’t come with me?” I asked.

“It was a girls’ night out,” Tommy said. “So no, I didn’t come with you.”

I groaned and buried my face in his shoulder. “I can’t believe that happened to me. I lost control my first night out.”

“It’ll be okay,” he said.

“I hope so,” I said. “I swear I’ll never drink again.”

Tommy laughed and kissed me on the cheek.

----

After Tommy comforted me, I decided to pay my friends Abby and Tay a visit. I wanted to know if they knew more about what had happened. When I was about to knock on the door to Abby's apartment, I heard voices on the other side. Curious, I listened in.

"I can't believe that GHB actually worked so well," I heard Abby saying. "I mean look at all of these photos."

"I know, right?" I heard Tay saying. "Look at this one with her thumb up her ass. It's hilarious. I wonder how her parents reacted when they saw that."

"I'd pay money to see their reactions," Abby said. "Serves her right the bitch has been unbearable all these years. Always whining and complaining like a prude. No wonder she has no real friends."

"I hope Tommy dumps her after he sees all of this. I mean, who would date a slut like her after seeing all of this?" Tay said. "You know Tommy was supposed to ask me out, but for some stupid reason he asked her instead. I heard Britt talking all about it."

"That's so stupid, Tay. Tommy would be so much better with you," Abby said.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing as I opened the door using the key they had given me. "You drugged me?" I said in disbelief.

Abby and Tay both looked up at me. At first they were completely quiet, but then Tay said. "Yeah, we drugged you bitch. It was hilarious. You were so much better when the GHB kicked in."

"Why did you drug me?" I asked.

"Because you're a prude and wouldn't even drink 3 shots. We had to fight you just to get you to drink two of them, so we may have slipped a little GHB into the third shot when you went to the bathroom," Tay said. "After it kicked in, it finally became a real party. I couldn't believe it when you started stripping your clothes off and running around naked. I mean what kind of person would want to see you naked of all people?"

"I'm going to the cops!" I yelled. "I can't believe you two did that to me! Do you have any idea how embarrassing all of this was? How my PARENTS reacted?! I'm not allowed to drink alcohol for a year. I can't believe you two!"

"You might want to think twice before you go to the cops," Tay said. "You wouldn't want Tommy to see this would you?"

Tay showed turned the computer around that they were looking it. I gasped. It was a picture of me making out with Tay. And then another picture showed me tonguing Tay's pussy. I stared in shock. "You go to the cops, we show Tommy those pictures," Abby said. "We kept it to ourselves for amusement and also insurance. Tommy would be crushed to find out you not only cheated on him but also with a woman."

"No, you can't show him those photos," I cried. "He would be heartbroken."

"Then you are going to do EVERYthing we say," Tay said. "If you even think about going to the authorities or saying something about this to anyone, then we will immediately send not only Tommy these photos, but we'll also publish every single image we ever took of you that night online for all to see. And those WON'T be removed. Yeah, last night we were gracious enough to delete your photos for you. But next time, we'll make sure it's spread so far around the internet that they'll NEVER be deleted. And trust me, we have some real juicy images of you that the world never saw."

"What do I do?" I asked. "What do you want?"

"First, I want you to take all of your clothes off," Tay said.

I complied, stripping naked. "Lay down," Abby said. "Spread those legs of yours."

I complied again. Abby immediately pulled out some shaving cream and rubbed it into my pussy hairs before quickly shaving them off. "Keep those legs spread and hold this," Tay said handing me an opened bottle of beer.

I took it. Tay immediately snapped my picture with her phone. "Perfect," Abby said. "Now this is your choice, Iris. You can either send this picture to your mom."

Abby said pointing to the picture of my completely naked body holding a beer. "Or you can send this picture to your boyfriend," Tay said pointing to the picture of me tonguing Tay's pussy.

My eyes widened. I was completely screwed either way. One photo would mean my mom would be furious and probably would hang those photos up where everyone can see. The other would probably break my boyfriend's heart. And the worst part was that I couldn't explain the situation to either of them because then all of the photos would end up on the internet anyways. "I...." I wanted to cry. "I'll send the photo to my boyfriend."

"Too bad," Tay said. "You don't actually have a choice."

Tay sent both photos out immediately. I cried. "NO! You said!"

"I lied," Tay said. "I want you utterly humiliated by your mom AND your boyfriend. And remember if you say anything to either of them, all of your photos go back on the internet."

My phone immediately went off. "Answer it, Iris," Abby said.

I cried as I did, not bothering to see who it was. Tay tapped my phone to change it to speaker phone. "Iris, what the hell is this?" Tommy asked.

"T-Tommy. P-please," I sobbed, but stopped when Abby gave me a look. "I... I'm sorry. I... didn't know how to tell you."

"So you sent me a picture of you FUCKING Tay?" Tommy yelled. "How could you DO that after I supported you last night!"

"I'm sorry, Tommy. I'm sorry," I kept saying not knowing what else to say. "Tommy please, I'll talk to you later, my... mom is calling me."

"Oh yeah, we'll talk later alright," Tommy said. "I'll see you when you get home."

Tommy hung up abruptly and my phone immediately went off again and I answered. "IRIS MAY JACKSON! HOW DARE YOU!!! I TOLD YOU NO DRINKING AND YOU IMMEDIATELY DEFY MY ORDERS! NOT ONLY THAT BUT YOU'RE SITTING THERE POSING NAKED!!!!" My mom yelled. "YOU KNOW WHAT I TOLD YOU I WOULD DO!"

"Yes, mom," I said.

"What did I tell you I would do?" My mom asked me.

"You said you would hang up my photo in the foyer," I said.

"Well that was before you decided to go defying my direct orders," My mom said. "I think I'll take this lovely photo you sent me and frame it right in the family room. I'm still going to hang up that other photo of you with your thumb up your ass, but consider this extra punishment. Oh and also, your father says that since you love posing naked so much, he's going to make this photo you sent us your profile picture to your Facebook account. And you are not to change it at all. Is that understood?"

I looked down at the floor and uttered the words. "Yes, mom." I said.

I heard a click, and Tay grabbed my phone hanging it up. Tay and Abby then burst out laughing. "Wow, that went amazing," Tay said. "Sounds like you and Tommy are done and it also sounds like you're in for a world of embarrassment."

Suddenly the door to the apartment swung open. "They're over there officers," I heard Tommy say.

Suddenly a swarm of police officers filed through the doors. I was in shock and surprise as they all pointed their guns at Tay and Abby. "Hands in the air," one of the officers said. "We have a warrant to search the premises. You are not to move until we're done."

Tay and Abby immediately put their hands up. I was instructed to do the same, and I reluctantly did so. I looked at Tommy for a sign, but he didn't do anything as the officers looked around the place. "I found this," one of the officers said handing it over to the officer that seemed to be the one in charge.

"GHB," the officer said. "Taylor Jenkins and Abigail Brees, you are under arrest for the drugging of an unaware victim and also possession of GHB. We will also be investigating fully to see if there are any cases that would be considered rape or other crimes you may have committed. You have the right to remain silent..."

Tay and Abby were immediately handcuffed as the officers read them their rights as they were pulled out the door. I was approached by one of the officers who handed me a towel which I wrapped around myself. The officer then said. "My name is Officer Judith. Your boyfriend here told us that something wasn't right about what was happening with you. We know that your 21st birthday was a couple days ago and he explained to us what happened from his perspective, but we need you to answer some questions. Please answer them to the best of your ability."

"Yes, ma'am," I said.

The officer me asked me a bunch of questions like how long did I know Abby and Tay, did I remember anything that happened in the 24 hours of my birthday, and more. I answered the questions honestly and eventually the officers left leaving myself and Tommy alone. "Oh my God, Iris, are you okay?" Tommy asked.

I sobbed and didn't meet Tommy's eyes. "H-how did y-you... wh-why...w-what?" I tried to say something, but I couldn't. I collapsed to the ground and Tommy rushed to my side, trying to help me.

"Iris, I know you better than that," Tommy said. "Please, I'm sorry. I had to act mad because I knew there was probably someone listening. Iris, please. It's okay. I'm not mad at you. I figured there was something not adding up, and I did a little bit of research. I saw that GHB lined up with what you told me about the other night. And I had a feeling that Tay and Abby had to have done something because I knew you were there with them all night, so they were really the only ones who would really know anything, but when I got the text message from Tay with you. I saw something in the picture that.... disturbed me. While you were tonguing her and everything... it didn't seem... right... you didn't seem like yourself. I mean, if it was you doing it, I felt like it would be a bit... I dunno more vibrant. It wasn't hard after that to figure out that. I had already been talking to the police station about that night, so when I showed them the photos, they immediately were able to get a search warrant for the probable cause of possession of drugs, and we drove over right away."

"Wow," I said. "T-that's a lot."

"I'm so sorry they did that stuff to you, Iris. I wish I had been there to protect you," Tommy said kissing my forehead. "I'll talk to your parents about it. I'm sure they'll understand."

"You might want to do it quickly," I said. "My dad said he was going to change my Facebook profile to one of those embarrassing pictures. Tommy... thank you so much for this. I... I didn't know what I was going to do."

"Of course, Iris. Please, I love you. Nothing is going to change that. And I know you well enough to know that this wasn't right. I'm sorry again for all of this," he said.

Tommy pulled out his phone and called my parents. "Hey, Mrs. Jackson," Tommy said. "I want to tell you about what happened to Iris... I think you need to hear this..."

Tommy explained to my mom what happened and that I was drugged the night of my birthday and made to do all of those things. After everything was done, Tommy and I drove to my parents' house where my mom immediately hugged me and apologized for jumping to conclusions. My dad hadn't changed my profile pic yet, thank goodness.

That night I sat with Tommy in my bedroom. We kissed and started making out, but all I could think about was what Abby and Tay did to me. I thought about all of those photos that they took of me, the things they made me do. And they had also talked about having more. I wondered just how much more they had. The officers had taken Tay's laptop as evidence so I couldn't just go and look. I couldn't believe that my friends of 5 years did all of that to me. I cried and cried and Tommy tried to comfort me. I felt so broken and betrayed and lost. I had genuinely thought that I had done all of those things because I was drunk and stupid, but it turned out that I had been the victim of one of the most notorious date-rape drugs.

My dad entered the room at one point and hugged me, apologizing for thinking the worst of me and everything that happened to me. I just felt numb. It took awhile before I was able to open up again and feel like myself again. Tommy and I are engaged now. And I'm really happy to be marrying him soon.

Tay received 25 years, no parole, and on top of that Tay had to register as a sex offender because she was dumb enough to have filmed us having sex while I was drugged and the officers found it on her computer. They found actually a lot of damning evidence that proved that Tay drugged me and made me do a lot of other things. Abby got off a bit easy because there wasn't any real evidence she was actually involved. Abby received 10 years, with potential of parole, and 5 years of community service.

Everyone for the most part was very caring and understanding after they learned that the photos were because I was drugged not just drunk. I felt relieved that people were a bit more understanding, but still felt embarrassed that so many people saw me naked and doing all sorts of other things.
