Brett said I had to go to school, but he didn’t say anything about having to go to class. I found a quiet corner in the library and fell asleep. I let one of my textbooks lean across my chest, so it looked like I had simply fallen asleep studying if somebody I knew recognized me. Fortunately, that wasn’t a bridge I had to cross.
After the nap, I walked back to my apartment. The sun was out and soothed the bite of the cool autumn breeze. My head felt much more clear. While I still knew what was happening to me was very wrong, I tried to look at the situation logically. Under different circumstances, I would probably have slept with Brett anyway. If he was just some cute guy who offered to buy me a drink at the bar, there is no way I wouldn’t have turned it down. Other than finding out that he was a misogynistic asshole, what was really so different about our current situation? Instead of a cheap, $3 drink, I was getting to stay in a $2500 apartment rent-free.
