--Later that day, Lynch house--

Aubrey was now feeling better. All of Aubrey's friends are there with her and Layla is preparing herself to tell Aubrey how Terrance has been arrested.

Layla coughs and everyone turns to face her.

Layla: I have announcement to make.

Aubrey gets worried.

Aubrey: You're not pregnant are you?

Layla laughs.

Layla: No!

Hunter: Not yet anyways.

Layla grabs a cushion and throws it at him whilst everyone else chuckles.

Hunter: Babe! That hurt! I got the zip in my eye!

Layla: OMG I'm so sorry baby!

Layla kisses everywhere on his face and Aubrey gets frustrated.

Aubrey: What's the announcement?!

Layla pulls away.

Layla: Oh yea. That. You see, TerrancehasbeenarrestedbythepoliceforfightingStewartbecausehepostedthevideoofyouontoyoutube!

Layla pants whilst everyone looks at her in confusion.

Robyn: What was that?!

Cameron: You were supposed to tell her how Terrance had been arrested for fighting Stewart because he posted the video of him beating you onto YouTube!

Aubrey stands up from the sofa.

Aubrey: WHAT?!

Layla: Hey I tried!

Aubrey: Still! Which police station are they in?

Anna: You're not thinking of going there are you?

Aubrey sits back down and frowns.

Aubrey: Guess not.

Aubrey starts thinking. After a few minutes.

Aubrey: Mum?

Laura: Yes dear?

Aubrey: Can I start school online?

Laura: Why would you want to do that?

Aubrey: Well the video of me getting beaten up is going viral, I'm going to get bullied gets loads of hate and stuff like that. I think it would be best for everyone if I just stayed at home and did school online.

Thomas: What about us?

Aubrey turns to face them and smiles.

Aubrey: How could I ever forget about you guys?

Aubrey's friends smile.

Aubrey: I'd still see you guys everyday after school! You could always come over here after you've done your homework.

Aubrey smiles to herself.

Aubrey: Or...

Hunter: Or what?

Aubrey: We could build a treehouse and that could be our place! Just for us friends! Nobody else! What do you guys think?

Aubrey's friends smile.

Robyn: That's amazing!

Layla: Totally!

Anna: I don't want to sound negative but where would the treehouse be?

Cameron: And it'll cost a fortune.

Hunter: It'll take forever to build.

Aubrey groans.
