note— i made an edit for this book, who should i edit next?

Andy hadn't left her room in four days. Eve and Ava had made it their mission to make Andy leave the room, Eve stole Andy's phone, hoping that would make Andy get out of bed but to no avail, Andy hadn't even realised her phone was gone. Ava would blast her music, her and Eve's room being the one closest to Andy, but once again it was like Andy didn't even realise. The only person who had gotten any response from Andy was Leo, the six-year-old and Andy's favourite of the Quinns.

Olivia and Darrell didn't know what to do or how to help. They didn't want to call Daniella, but they knew that if this behaviour kept up, they would have to.

"I'm going to call him," Darrell picked up his phone.

"Darrell, you can't! We talked about this, we need to respect Andy's privacy," Olivia counted as she shook her head. The couple had been debating between calling Benji for the past two days, Darrell knows that whatever has upset Andy is Benji's fault, and Olivia knows this too, but she also knows that teenage girls need space.

"This isn't healthy. Liv, she hasn't left her room in four days! She's lucky that this is the last week of the term or else, she would be falling behind in class."

Olivia sighed, "Fine. Don't yell at him. We don't know if he is the reason why they aren't talking, for all we know it could be Andy's fault."

Darrell nodded. The blonde hair man searched his contacts until he found the one labelled 'andy's boy friend' he had done it as a joke. Ava would always tease Andy about Benji being her boyfriend which Andy would reply that he was her boy friend, after that the Quinns would continue to call Benji her boy friend whenever he wasn't around.

Ring, ring, ring. "um hi, this is Benji speaking."

"Benji, hi. This is Darrell speaking, Andy hasn't been feeling too well, and Olivia and I agreed that a visit from her friends might cheer up her mood. Would you be able to come over?"

For what felt like a minute there was silence. "I'll be there soon."

"Thank you, see you soon." Darrell hung up the phone and looked at his wife, "I didn't yell."

Liv kissed Darrell's cheek, "I'm proud of you," she joked.

Four days ago, Benji's best friend had told him that she was his enemy and two hours later that he had decided to become a double agent. He's still trying to process it all though. Andy and Benji never fight, sure they have had small spits but never had they argued about anything serious.

He's thought about calling Andy. He wanted to tell her that he was sorry for yelling at her (although he thought it was justified) and tell her of his plan but he didn't. In between helping Tiffy catch up before the end of term and his patrols, he hasn't had time to visit Andy, at least that was the excuse he was going for.

As selfish as it is to say, Benji was happy he didn't see Andy at school. It isn't uncommon for kids to skip the last week of school, most of his classmates had, so he didn't find it a reason to worry.

When Darrell called Benji, he felt his heart drop into his stomach. Andy hadn't felt well, was it about his reaction? of course it was, he hissed to himself.

The bus ride to Andy's house was short, he tried preparing what he was going to say to Andy but he couldn't get anywhere while remembering her crying. Now that his anger was gone, he felt nothing but guilt, he didn't even hear her out, he made her cry. What she is doing is terrible but he trusts Andy, she isn't a bad person.
