Noah went to his door and unlocked it before going into his house. He finally got done shooting his music video for his song and afterwards he stopped at Chipotle to grab him and Star some food. He'd been with Star at his place the past week and she insisted that he go and handle his career but he chose to stay. He made his way upstairs to Davis's room and when he got there he found him asleep in his crib and Star's dog by the crib. He left and made his way to the bedroom and when he got there he saw Star asleep on his side of the bed cuddling his pillow. He went over and rubbed her back causing her to shift in her sleep.

Noah:Star?
Star's eyes fluttered open and she rubbed her face before sitting up and moving over so he could get in the bed.

Star:Hey.
Noah:Hey.
Star:How was the music video?
Noah:It was cool. How are you feeling?
Star:Good, I guess.
Noah:Okay well I got you some food and now I'm gonna hop in the shower and after we'll talk.
Star:Okay.

Flashback
Star was sitting in the hospital bed with her arms crossed looking away.

Star:I'm not doing it.
Carlotta:You don't have much of a choice Star.
Star:It's my body. I'm telling you nothing happened so why can't you just take my word and leave me alone.

Carlotta heard the tone in Star's voice and raised her eyebrow.

Carlotta:You got one more time to raise your tone or so help me. Simone found you passed out in your closet, and before Keyla told me after y'all left that photo shoot you didn't say anything. Detective Bautista is involved, and I nor anybody else know what happened during that photo shoot. I don't feel comfortable with feeling like something bad happened. So you're gonna let that nurse do a rape kit on you and see if anything happened.

Star's eyes glossed and she felt that same lump in her throat, she just wanted to leave the hospital and go back to Noah's. She didn't wanna be bothered, in fact if she had a choice she would just bury herself into a ball and never come out.

Noah came out his closet with a pair of sweats on and went and got into the bed. Star had already eaten so she was laying in bed watching a movie.

Noah:What did you do today?
Star:I mean aside from taking care of Davis, I just watched tv and stayed in.

Star was afraid to go back out because once everybody heard that she was drugged by a famous photographer, they did nothing else but talk about it. She was all over the blogs and they tried to get further details on what happened. But all Star told detective Bautista was that the photographer looked at her weird and that after she left she started feeling weird. Noah along with everybody else thought that it was more to what happened and even though there was, Star just couldn't bring herself to let them know.

Noah:Star you know you can tell me anything and-
Star:Noah please, not tonight. Just leave it alone and let it go.
Noah:Let it go? You've been acting different ever since you woke up at the hospital.
Star:What is it that you want from me now? I'm telling you and everybody else nothing happened. Why can't you just take my word and get over it?
Noah:Because Star you haven't been acting the same ever since it happened. And you've been taking it out on me, Carlotta and everybody else.
Star:Noah I was drugged, how am I suppose to feel? And y'all keep saying the same thing over and over. Nothing happened and if something did I would've told you. But since there's nothing to tell you, get over it and leave me alone.

Star moved to her side of the and turned her back towards him. Noah huffed and Star tried to go back to sleep. Later on into the night Noah was awake. He couldn't sleep and all he could think about was what happened between him and Star earlier. He felt she wasn't telling him something and it bothered him because something didn't feel right. He watched her sleep knowing she was gonna be up soon. Considering how she hadn't been able to get that much sleep since she left the hospital. And even though she was pissed at Noah she somehow managed to get back on his side of the bed. Soon it was finally morning and Star's eyes fluttered open. The sun shined through the windows and Star felt her back pressed against someone. She felt Noah's arm wrapped around her waist and could tell he was asleep. Before she could do anything she heard Davis crying and moved from Noah before getting up. She made her way out the room and to Davis's room. When she got there she saw Davis crying in his crib and scooped him out before making her way out his room. She made her way downstairs and her dog followed. 15 minutes later she was sitting on the couch in the living room. She was finishing up her work on her MacBook and had Davis sitting in her lap watching Tv. He was finally able to hold his bottle and had it in his little hands drinking his milk.  She was so focused on what she was doing on her MacBook that she didn't even hear Noah come downstairs. Davis looked over seeing his father and dropped his bottle before Star picked it up. He started babbling and Noah walked over to the couch before Star looked up. Davis reached for his father and Star gave him to Noah. Noah kissed his son on the cheek and Star submitted her assignment before getting up. She headed towards the guest room and Noah huffed before placing Davis in his walker. When she got there she was about to close the door when Noah put his foot in the doorway and stepped in. Star huffed before walking over to the bed and placing her MacBook down.
