Chapter 2: The Move to Stoneybrook

Little did the sisters knew that not only Stacey had witnessed the video - but, also their parents.

A friend whose son was also studying at New York high had sent the video to them asking them how was Stephanie and Stacey doing and if they were okay.

Both of their parents were shocked to say the least, but after watching the whole video, they could understand why Stephanie did it in the first place. She just wanted to defend her sister.

Stacey had made some progress - she wasn't acting like her usual self but you they can really tell that she's feeling a little bit better.

Stephanie, on the other hand, was really worried about her sister. Though, she knew that Stacey liked to be independent so she kept her distance and only stepped in when Stacey needed her the most.

Vanessa and Jason McGill might have these big corporate jobs and all but the both of them put their daughters first above anything else.

Later on, on Vanessa and Jason's meeting with their friend, Katie, (the same one who sent them the video), the topic of the sisters came up.

"I mean, I'm not one for violence." Vanessa said, "But, I can see why Stephanie did that - she was just protecting Stacey."

"We're glad she didn't get a sanction or anything for it." Jason agreed.

"My son said everything just seemed normal after the event. Maybe except for the fact that Angel is getting out of Stephanie's way - but, that is a good thing isn't it?" Katie said.

Jason nodded, "Yeah, at least there's no trouble for them. For now."

Vanessa reached for her husband's hand, giving him a worried look, "For now. Then what if another problem happens?"

"What if we just cross that bridge when we get there?" Jason suggested.

"I don't mean to intrude. But, if you wanted to avoid that situation altogether - you could consider moving. Come to think about it, it could also give the girls a chance at a fresh start." Katie suggested.

"But, where?" Vanessa asked.

Katie just shrugged, "Stoneybrook maybe? Its far enough from New York to have a fresh start."
