4 weeks later.
Quinn.
I lean against the table that lays in bar in the middle of Jackson, Dina stands beside me as she rubs small circles on my back.

"I just don't understand why she wouldn't take me with her." I cry, Brining the last sip of whiskey up to my lips and downing it.

"Quinn, she's trying to protect you," Dina sighs,
"That girl is head over heels in love with you."

I want to believe what she says, but for all I know ill never see the auburn hair girl again, though i'll forever long too.

"What if she doesn't come home." I choke out, laying my head on Dina's shoulder as she continues to comfort me the best she can.

"She'll be home Quinn, I promise." She reassures me.

I pull myself away and dry my tears, calling the bartender over for another drink before sitting back down on the chair,

"Quinn, there's something I really wanna talk to you about, only if your up for it though." Dina speaks up, placing a hand on my shoulder while looking down at me.

"Yeah, what's up?" I ask her, before I could get my drink she pulls me out of the bar, leading me to stand in the back with her.

"Spit it out." I say, irritated that when I got back my drink probably wouldn't be there.

"Quinn, I'm pregnant." She whispers, dropping her head down almost like she was embarrassed.

The confession stunned my drunken mind, leaving me speechless a few moments before being able to comprehend what she said.

"Oh my god, really?!" I yell in excitement, a smile growing on my face as she nods her head.

"Does jessie know?" I ask,
"Nope, only you."

Knowing Dina trusted me with this information made me feel good, she's truly my best friend.

"let's get you home." She suggests, I don't argue with the girl, instead I ask her questions about the pregnancy all the way back to my house.

I unlock the door and we make our way to the couch, I haven't really been here since Ellie left, only to sleep considering the second I wake up i'm gone.

"This place feels so empty without her." I spit out, leaning back on the couch to rest my head ok Dina's shoulder, she places her head on top of mine before speaking up,

"I know it does, I know your upset at her but try and look at it from her point of view, she wanted to keep you safe and the only way she could do that was to keep you here." Her soft voice says, causing me to nod my head agreeing with her.

We stay silent after that, both of us falling asleep under a warm blanket.

Ellie.
I make my way through a pathway, quickly being stunned as I get lifted in the air, a rope holding me by my ankle upside down,

As I try to get lose I fly into the side of the tree, a sharp branch stabbing me in the side as it rips off of the tree.

The amount of blood loss and pain caused me to quickly lose consciousness.
