Riley walks out of the school with her phone to her ear and tears running down her face. She gets her dad's voicemail.

"Dad, it's me. Look, I don't know what you've seen or what you've heard but it's not true okay it's not true I promise, I promise it's not true. It's not true. It's not. Okay call me when you get this." Riley says all in one breath before hanging up.

Max runs out, "Riley!"

Riley whirls around, "Why would they think this?! How would that even - I don't even - do you know what my parents are gonna say?!"

"Riley. You need. To calm. Down. No one is really gonna think it was you." Max says.

"Oh, yeah? Look at this." Riley says, showing Max the article and reading, "Riley Cerulli (daughter of metalcore band Motionless in White's frontman, Chris Motionless), girlfriend Maxine Taylor, friend Jack Andrews, and another friend who has gone unidentified - "

"Oh, of course Emily went unidentified." Max deadpans.

Riley continues, " - were all seen in an abortion clinic in Connecticut last weekend. An anonymous witness says they only picked up bits and pieces of the conversations between Cerulli and her friends, but they that they were all talking about a wild party that they regretted going to. From what it was said between them, it is believed Cerulli got drunk at this party and made a very big mistake while under the influence despite the fact that Cerulli claims to be a lesbian. Some other words among the teens included Andrews saying he couldn't believe that Cerulli had snuck this all under her dad's nose.

"Many other words were spoken that lead the witness to believe that Cerulli was there to receive the abortion in secret (in Connecticut, it is legal for a minor to receive an abortion without parental consent). The teens were heard talking about getting caught. Cerulli was also seen filling out paperwork, and if that isn't enough, Cerulli was even seen going down the hallway where the abortions took place. The witness left shortly after this happened. Our witness also says that Cerulli's girlfriend did not look happy to be there. The pieces to this puzzle seem to be adding up. Nothing has been confirmed, but there will be more on this story as it develops."
