Later, Brandi and the Golden Child left, and Emily was about to leave with them, but she asks, “When are you going to tell me?”
“Uh… I don’t know. When ever I can I guess.” I replied. Emily just left and gave me a gesture to call her later or something.
Thomas left after an hour cause of his dad wanting him home. So it was just me and Lauren. Lauren looks over at me and ask, “So what are you going to do about Josh? He’s not going to stop…”
I paused for a moment and held her hand. “It’s alright. You just don’t worry about it.”
“But you are more vulnerable now! I want to help.”
I didn’t say anything. It’s more of me not even bothering. Once she wants to help, she sticks with it. Even if we tell her no.
“Just promise me you won’t get hurt.”
“I promise, and I promise I won’t let you get hurt.”
She starts to lean in until the door opens. She looks over and sat down next to the bed.
I look over and is very surprise to see… Ashley.
She looks different, and not in a good way either…

What happened?
