I listened to ABBA on my Walkman in max's kitchen. SHITTT! These past two days have had my head HURTING! The only good day was my birthday. I loved having a girl's day! But then everything with Billy. And Angel the other night when she literally tried to kill me. There's SO MANY unanswered questions. The Billy stuff might be answered but something inside me needs to answer what Angel was doing!

I began drinking coffee that I made. What even happened to me earlier today? I touched El & suddenly saw her & the red door. Now that's weird- Ellie took off my Walkman. "Coffee again? You'll be up all night."

I sighed. "Personally, I like coffee! Helps keep the stress away."

"No reason to stress! Billy is fine- Angel is behind bars- we're fine! Also, Estella is getting along really well with El & Max! So, everything is fine." Ellie explained. "You just need a spa day! Which is a great idea for tomorrow."

I put the coffee down. "I'm just scared Ellie! Scared that everything will just... happen again! And with recent events my stress level has been off the charts... even if I don't show you."

Ellie took the coffee. "To be honest... same! But I know it can't happen again! The gate is closed & we're fine... everything is fine!"

"Sure... but nothing feels fine! Everything feels like shit! You don't understand the constant fear of monsters & near-death experiences."

"I do Sophie! I went through last year's events too- I understand things can't be normal again but we can at least try to make things FEEL normal! This stress thing you have going on isn't good-"

I sat down at the kitchen table. "-I don't give a shit! Being in this town... I went through this TWO times unlike you! I was bullied, harassed, & treated like TRASH! You didn't get that experience because nobody even knew who you were!" I began to cry. "I'm afraid of everything happening again & I'm also afraid that someone might backstab me again..."

I sighed. "And I've tried SO badly to pretend like everything is just- fine! But nothing feels fine & I'm stuck in this damn town!"

Ellie handed me my coffee. "I won't backstab you... none of us will! Reminder we're the core 3 including Derek... And together once we find out where Derek is, we can get through this! Together! Because guess what, we do everything better together."

I drank the coffee. "Together- Let's go see the other girls."

Ellie helped me up. "Yes! And we can go to sleep! But I know you'll be up for a while... Just keep telling yourself everything is fine! And everything will feel fine..."
