I decide to sit down on the bed. I grab a magazine and flip to an article about me. It confirms that my babies were born and the names have not been released. I laugh and set the magazine back down. I text Harry asking him to come save me, he texts back and says he will try. I sigh and decided to text Erin.

Lizzie: Hey is class still going on tomorrow?

Erin: yea why you already had your babies

Lizzie: I didn't tell the coaches so I figured I'd "skip" class Monday and show up Tuesday with the babies.

Erin: ohhh so I can't tell Mackenna and Mark?

Lizzie: no tell no one.
