Nala's pov:

After our meeting with the lawyer, we went out to eat, and I was so exhausted. I puked twice, and had a panic attack. At this point I was so done with life it wasn't funny. I could tell everyone was just trying to be there for me, but I didn't even want to do any of this shit right now anyways. I was grumpy, but I don't think anyone noticed. 

"Where do you guys want to go to eat?" Dad asked us. Toshi and Jackson both looked at me. 

"I don't care." I answer. They both shrugged, and discussed, and we ended up going to Taco Bell. It was really late, like midnight almost, and we had skipped dinner, so I was hungry and tired, but I ended up falling asleep before we even got to the restaurant. 

When I woke up, we were home, and Jackson was already gone. I was saddened by that, but I just stumbled inside, and fell asleep on the couch that night. 

I was alone. In emptiness. His voice echoed through the nothingness, and I shuddered, afraid. It was him, he was back for me. 
"HELP! PLEASE!" I screamed, to no avail. 
"Shh. It's okay sweetie." He silenced my cries by walking out of nowhere. 
"STAY AWAY!" I tried to move, however I felt paralyzed. "Pl-please!" Tears were streaming down my face. The man inched closer and closer, until our lips were nearly touching. 
"Such a beautiful thing." He said, rubbing my cheek. I was shaking as he pulled my body close, and picked me up by my ass. 
"I don't want this." I mumbled. 
"Shh. You don't know what you want." He said in a seductive tone, laying me on the cold ground. I could do nothing about it, and I had to face that.

I awoke a sobbing mess. I knew I couldn't be alone right now, because I might do something to myself. I looked at the clock, it was already 4 in the morning. I quietly walked to Toshi's room, and knocked. I heard some shuffling before he opened the door. 

"Nala, what's wrong?" He asked, probably noticing my puffy, red, eyes. 

"I just, *sniff* had a nightmare." I tell him, wiping my tears. He put an arm around my shoulder, and pulled me inside his room. I loved his room. He had LED lights on his walls, and he had a nice bed, with a cool nightstand. He had a black desk, with an awesome gaming chair and set-up. He had a huge walk-in closet, where he stored his guitar, and favorite clothes that he didn't fold away in his dresser. 

"You wanna tell me what happened?" He asked, and I nodded. I let out a sigh before beginning.
