The Downward Spiral of Katelyn Haynes | thosearemysecret | 1

 

Katelyn Haynes was having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year. It all started in March when the red-haired, green-eyed 22-year-old was an intern at an accounting firm. A man at the company had pulled her aside one day and asked her to dirty a pair of panties. Katelyn chose to report him to the company Vice President Deborah Stanley, which to her dismay ended up being an error. It turned out the man had made the request, because he was being blackmailed by the VP for stealing from the company. Instead of losing her pet she produced a file on Katelyn.

The file showed the intern had been downloading music and films using the company’s computer. Worse, it also showed Katelyn had been frequenting BDSM porn sites while on the job. Ms. Stanley gave the girl a choice, submit along with the man or else she’d send the file to her intern adviser. It would likely result in Katelyn's expulsion. Desperate for a good review from the internship, to preserve her reputation, and not be expelled, she agreed to the terms.

Unfortunately, the VP put the final decision regarding Katelyn's fate in the hands of the man. To her shock, even after she shamefully stripped and offered to do anything, he refused. Even with her creamy, lightly freckled skin on display he chose to ruin her academically, because he deemed it more noble than being sexually exploited.

Ms. Stanley sent the file. As Katelyn was leaving in tears the VP handed her a card and told her to call the number on it if she had difficulty getting her life together after the fallout.

Katelyn was expelled from school for violating the University Code of Conduct. The online student paper caught wind of Katelyn’s expulsion and published a story titled: “Student Expelled for Viewing BDSM at Internship.” The first Google hit on her name brought up the story as the first hit. She tried to go home, but her strict parents, ashamed, closed the door on her.

Now Katelyn works as a waitress in the city. She rarely dates, because whenever her date Googles her name it gets very awkward. She lives in a small two-bedroom apartment with Eliza, a girl she found through Craigslist. Eliza seemed nice enough when they first met, but since then has proven to be lazy, mean, and a borderline alcoholic. Ever since Eliza found out why Katelyn was expelled from school she’s given her the nickname, “Perv.”

Last weekend, Katelyn made the mistake of inviting co-workers to a party Eliza had planned in their apartment. The night was going well, but after Eliza reached the level of obnoxious drunk it all fell apart.

“Oh my God, Kate, you’re still a complete perv!” Katelyn heard Eliza yelling from down the hall. When she went to see what Eliza was yelling about she was horrified to find her roommate in her bedroom with a group of people looking at her computer screen. Eliza had told them about the article and followed up by going through Katelyn’s browser history and opening the sites.

When Eliza saw Katelyn standing in the doorway she laughed and turned the monitor in her direction. It was a video of a woman with her hands bound being fucked over a bar in front of a group of spectators. She was wet with spit and cum, but had a greedy grin on her face. “You’re into some kinky shit, Perv!”

Katelyn felt like everyone in the room was laughing at her. It already made her feel ashamed when she gave into her urges and looked at those site, but being outed, again, overwhelmed her with humiliation. “GET OUT!”

She grabbed her roommate by the hair and dragged her through the door. Eliza stumbled and fell in the hall but kept laughing. Everyone else in the room followed Katelyn’s order and filed out. When she was alone in her room she slammed the door, locked it, and broke down in tears.

Work became intolerable. Her co-workers had adopted the moniker “Perv” when talking to Katelyn off the restaurant floor. She thought about going to her boss, but the experience at the internship made her insecure trusting authority figures. She couldn’t quit, because she was already tight on money and rent was due in a few days.

During a break Katelyn sat alone in an alleyway behind the restaurant. She looked through her wallet to see how much cash she had. Falling out of the wallet and into her lap was the card Ms. Stanley handed her on the first day of what would become months of humiliation and shame.

She looked at the card. It was only a phone number and no words. In the lower right hand corner were six additional numbers: 371113.

Katelyn was feeling desperate to change her life, but was she desperate enough to call an anonymous number provided to her by someone who tried to blackmail her?

 

Does Katelyn call the number?
