Truth

As i begin to cry even more while walking out of the cafe i start to think about lots of things.

Why would he do such a thing? He was always so sweet to me.

Why did my friends not help me? Did they even care?

Why helped Chase me? Didn't he hate me before?

Lastly, who should i believe.

I need to talk to Lucas.

"Hello?" Lucas his voice sounds weak. "Hey, it's me Laura, are you okay?" I ask him. "I am, but did you talk to Chase?" He asks.

Why is he asking me this?

"I did yes.. but is it true what he said?" I ask desperately. "No! It's not, i never wanted to hurt you i took you alone because you were not feeling well.. Chase came in then and.. he punched and kicked me multiple times. I couldn't do anything and he took me outside and i left. Being so scared of what was going to happened to you." He says.

Chase wanted to be the hero but he is the villain.

"He is now manipulating you into thinking i wanted to do bad things to you but-" "But you took my clothes off? I remember that.." I say.

"You said you were hot. And you demanded me." He tells. "I said that?" I ask myself. "You did. Baby please forgive me, that i didn't came back for you." He begs.

"It's okay. Where are you now?" I ask. "I'm now at home.. why? Do i need to bring you somewhere?" He asks.

I'm currently standing on the sidewalk, it's probably 10 degrees outside and i look like i've been awake for days.

"Yes, please bring me home. I'm freezing and starving. I'm a bit further away by Cookies&Milk." I tell. "I'm on my way." He says.

I hang up and i see a bench to sit on.

Chase is lying. Duke and Lin are manipulated to go along with his made up story.

I really need to have a talk with both, but first i need to get home.

I'm currently sitting on the bench freezing because i'm only wearing my top.

My phone rings and i see no ID caller.

"Hello?" I answer the call. "Hi, am i speaking with Miss Lindsay Roberts?" A polite woman asks on the phone. "No, but this is a friend of hers. Is everything okay?" I ask.

Why would someone call me for Lin instead of calling to her?

"Well, this is the hospital, i tried calling her last night but someone advised me to call this number without any further information, it's about her mother Ellen Roberts." Oh god.

Her mom is a special person. Lin and her mom are very alike. Not only in looks but also personality. I guess i could describe her as a female Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland. She talks a lot and i love hearing her stories and her laughs. She got diagnosed with stage 2 cancer last year. But she got better and is cured, but the last weeks she didn't feel good and started to get very tired. She did a test at the hospital and i guess because of the party she couldn't talk to Lin because she was probably drunk.

"Oh my, is she okay? I'm friend of her daughter and i know them well. Is everything alright?" I ask the woman. "She will be but this is confidential information so i would like to connect with her daughter, Lindsay Roberts. If you could tell me how and when i can contact her, that would be great." She says.
