Conclusion
Sherlyn was awake when surprisingly, Hillary came back from her test early; it was just past midnight. Hillary seemed to be in a foul mood, Sherlyn decided to risk Hillary's ire by trying to find out what was wrong. "You're back early; I can only assume things didn't go to well."
Hillary started to respond, "No, no, they didn't go well at all. Gawd Sherlyn, I'm such an unbelievable slut. I was enjoying the hell out of stripping in front of a bunch of drunken men; I was total aroused from being pawed and fondled. Then I..." That was all she could get out, Hillary broke down and began to sob.
Sherlyn, dressed in the light blue chemise and panties that Peter liked so well, hopped out of her bed and rushed over to take Hillary into her arms. She soothingly said, "Hey now, whatever it is, you'll get through it."
Stroking Hillary's back as the blond girl cried into her shoulders, Sherlyn added, "That's what I like about you, Hillary, you're so resilient, so strong." Hillary just continued to sob. Tears soaked Sherlyn's shoulder. The taller girl just rocked her smaller friend in her arms, trying to give her as much comfort as possible.
Finally after a good ten minutes, Hillary's tears started to dry up. She developed a case of the hiccups from all the crying. Through hiccups and an occasional residual sob, Hillary explained what happened during her test.
Sherlyn was appalled over what was expected of her rich, blond friend. Sherlyn could possibly get up and display herself like that in public, pulling her clothes off while a bunch of drunken men watched on. She could never spread her legs so a group of men could leer at her pussy.
Then she had to rein in those thoughts, in a little of over 12 hours she was going to experience her own trial; she would be going out in public naked herself. At lease she wouldn't have men pawing and fondling her. Running around in public without clothing on was going to be bad enough.
Pulling Sherlyn's attention back to what she was saying, Hillary explained, "*hiccup* Like I said, I was actually enjoying being a stripper. *hiccup*, Then I looked down and there was my dad!"
Sherlyn looked shocked, "Nate was in the stripper bar?"
Hillary said, "No, the guy I grew up with, *hiccup* Howard's his name."
Sherlyn understood, "Ah."
Hillary continued, "Anyway, I came up with this way for me to get even with him, *Hiccup*, for being such a shitty dad. Sheri, he never had time for Peter and me, never."
Sherlyn asked, "So what was this plan of yours?"
Hillary held back, not sure she wanted to tell her best friend what a pure unadulterated whore she had been. Finally she whispered, "I fucked him with my mask on *hiccup*. Then when he got off inside me, I pulled the mask off. *hiccup* I wanted him to feel guilty and ashamed."
Sherlyn was stunned. Hillary had done some pretty kinky things in the last month or so, but this was a bit over the top even for her. Setting her thoughts and feelings aside, Sherlyn reminded herself that Hillary was still her best friend. "Okay, so what happened?"
Hillary paused, the tears started to flow again, she gasped out, "He laughed at me. He told me that I was a great fuck. *hiccup* He didn't care that he was fucking with his own daughter, he thought it was great. I could have been any old prostitute for all he cared."
Blushing badly Hillary added, "Then he rolled me over on my tummy and just jammed himself up inside my pussy. *hiccup* He didn't ask, he didn't care if I was enjoying it or not, he just fucked me for the sole purpose of getting off. It was like I only existed for sexual enjoyment."
Sherlyn asked, "So, it was the fact that he just didn't care that bothered you?"
Hillary sniffed, "Yeah, that's it." Then she continued, "Also, what bothered me was that I let my thoughts become so distorted, *hiccup*, that I would use sex as a weapon, as a way to get even. Sherlyn, you know I do some pretty odd things, but I'm not that kind of person. What was I thinking?"
Sherlyn pondered the question, "I think you were just trying to get your dad to notice you, pay attention to you; you wanted him to show you that he cared. Since you are studying psychology, you know better than I that if a child doesn't get positive attention, they will resort to acting out to get negative attention. Attention is attention; they will get it no matter what it takes.
"I think the idea that you had in your head, thinking it was revenge, was just an excuse to get him to pay attention to you. It sounds to me like the man is a total narcissist. You are much better off with Nate as your father."
Hillary started to weep again, between sobs Hillary exclaimed, "That's the problem, *hiccup* Nate is going to die, and I'm going to be left with Howard again!"
"You don't need the man to validate who you are." Sherlyn replied tenderly, "Like I said, you're a strong person. You don't need Howard, you don't need your mother, or any of them. You have Peter, you have Terrance and me, and you'll make hundreds of friends over your lifetime. You even have your real father for a while; at least you found out the truth before he dies. I know he loves you.
"You know you're becoming an adult when you've figured out you don't need your parents to validate the things you do anymore; more importantly, you no longer need them to tell you what to do. You start defining your actions on your own." She added, "It's time you stood up and took control of Hillary. The only one who needs to tell Hillary what to do is you."
Hillary sniffed, "Yeah, I see what you're saying. It make sense." Then she smiled, "I'm going to tell Melinda to go shove her sorority up her ass tomorrow."
Sherlyn laughed, "You go girl! I wished I could do the same, but I need it. I need the connections I can make by being a member. I'm just a nobody from South Dakota and I need to establish networks so I can climb the ladder of success. The sorority, as depraved as they are, will give me contacts, it will open doors for me that normally would have been closed and locked."
Hillary laughed at her friend, "What was that speech you just gave me? Be your own person?"
Sherlyn smiled, "Point taken. But, with all my fancy talk, we still need other people. It's just we need to choose people who lift us up, not the ones who tear us down." Sherlyn added tenderly, "People like you, thank you for being my friend, Hillary."
Hillary nodded with understanding, "Does that mean you're going on your drive tomorrow?"
Sherlyn grimaced, "Yes, I'm going to finish the last 'test', I'm going to submit myself to the initiation, and I'm going to be a member of Sigma Epsilon Chi, have you noticed how the Greek letters look like they spell sex? Like I said, I really have no choice."
