She was gonna go to Sunny's house later but she needed to talk to Josie first.
Hope sat at her desk in her room and called Josie.
H: Hi
J: Hi, you ok
H: Who's the blonde girl you were walking with yesterday
J: Right to the point are we
H: Josie just tell me
J: You're demanding when you're jealous
H: I'm not jealous, just curious
J: Hope, I know you, I love you, and it was Summer
H: Who's Summer
J: Thomas's friend
H: Why were you with her
J: Oh my god Hope, you're funny, would it help if I told you she's straight
H: Yes
J: I love you
H: I love you too
H: I'm sorry
J: It's ok, if I saw you running around with some random girl I would be jealous too
H: That makes me feel better
J: Good
Hope hung up the phone and realized the time and headed off to Sunny's house

Sally's Sips
Emily Elle and Maddie were hanging out, drinking some coffee.
"I want another child" Emily said
"Why" Elle asked
"It fits, Avery will be leaving soon, the house feels lonely you know" Emily sighed
"That's no reason for another kid" Maddie said
"How would you know, you only have one kid" Emily said
"I have reasons for only one child" Maddie said
"What's that" Emily asked
"Miscarriage" Maddie said

"God it happening again" Maddie cried holding her stomach on the bathroom floor
"It's ok Baby, I got you" Tyler said holding Maddie as she cried.
Maddie sat up on the toilet as Tyler tried to comfort her.
"Why me" Maddie cried standing up hugging Tyler.
"I'm so sorry Baby" Tyler said

"I'm sorry Maddie" Emily said
"Let's just say I've had some traumatizing experiences" Maddie said
"I understand why you only have London" Elle said
"Yeah" Emily said
"But hey Emily it's your choice, if you're gonna pregnant" Maddie said
"I shouldn't, maybe Caleb will find someone" Emily said
"Maybe" Elle said
"Maybe" Emily sighed

"Thanks" Layla smiled and sat down to stretched and Bailey joined. 
"Girls, please come out to the center" the ballet teacher said and all the girls gathered to the center. Elle wasn't working today.

Sunny's house
"Hey Sarah" Sunny said walking into the living room
"Hey Sunny" Sarah said
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said what I said" Sunny said sitting down next to Sarah
"I'm sorry too, and I'm sad too, I just push all my feelings away, I took it out on you and I'm sorry for it" Sarah said hugging Sunny
"I love you" Sunny said
"I love you too" Sarah replied

A little bit later
Sunny's room
"So there's some blonde girl Josie is friends with who's apparently friends with Thomas" Hope said
"Wait who" Sunny questioned
"Summer" Hope said
"Did you talk to Josie" Sunny asked
"Yes" Hope said
"Then you have nothing to worry about" Sunny said
"I guess" Hope sighed. Sunny thought about Summer. Was she jealous she had no reason to be, Thomas was her friend, and she was only fake dating him anyway.
"Let's watch a movie" Sunny said
"Get my mind off Summer, who's apparently straight" Hope said. 
"Hopefully for your sake" Sunny said
"Yeah" Hope agreed

"You seem distracted" Hope said turning off the tv
"Yeah, I had a dream about Susan last night" Sunny said
"You probably miss her, she was a good friend" Hope said
"Yeah" Sunny sighed
"You ok" Hope questioned
"Yeah I'm ok" Sunny said

Elle's Dance Studio
Bailey was dancing and noticed a bright blue vain in her wrist and didn't think much of it.
She kept dancing until water poured out of her hand. She slipped and fell.
"Bailey you ok" the ballet teacher asked
"Yes, just going to dry off in the bathroom" Bailey said leaving to the bathroom
"What the fuck" Bailey thought to herself water just kept pouring out of her hand.
Bailey used her other hand and called Sunny
S: What's up
B: Somethings happening to me
S: What
B: Just come to the studio
S: Um ok

Sunny and Hope arrive at the studio being they were together.
"Bailey" Sunny said walking into the bathroom
"It won't stop" Bailey cried
"What" Hope questioned
"The water, it's pouring out of my hand" Bailey cried
"Seriously" Sunny said
"Yeah" Bailey said moving her hand from the sink.
"Why is this happening" Hope asked
"I have no idea" Sunny said
"Ugh, I wish my mom was here" Bailey said
"Squeeze your fits" Hope suggested
"It worked" Bailey said
"Go dance, then we'll come up with a permanent solution" Sunny said
"Ok" Bailey said

"Anything weird at home" Hope asked
"I have no idea, I mean we have a cat we're hiding from Sarah but that's it" Sunny said
"This is weird" Hope asked
"Yes but our life's are weird" Sunny laughed

A little later
"Let's go" Bailey said dance had finished and all three were in Sunny's car.
Sunny hit shuffle on her playlist.
"Why do you think the water started" Bailey asked
"I have no idea" Sunny said
"Did you ever swim in the river" Hope asked
"Not on purpose, I went in the other day, but nothing happend" Bailey said
"Yeah and it's not like there's river magic anymore" Sunny said
"I guess, seems fishy" Hope said
"I agree" Bailey said
