"Yeah."

"Good. I was really starting to worry about you."

"I know. I won't ever do something like that again."

"Do you think things at home are going to get ay better for you?"

"I don't know..."

"Well, Mom said she was going to go to your apartment and talk to your mom about everything."

"You think she'll listen?"

"Let's hope." I say.

Jack walks up to us, "Hey, guys. I'm getting worried about Emily."

"This again?" Max asks

"This again?" Max asks.

"What happened?" I ask.

"She showed up at my bedroom window last night at about 10:30. She said she didn't want to be alone, so she stayed the night and snuck out this morning before my parents could see her."

"What? I thought she said everything was okay." Max says.

"We should've known something was up. Did we really expect her parents to just be okay with her having gotten an abortion with our help and the fact that she's bisexual?" I ask, "Maybe her parents have something over her. I mean, I remember when I was in captivity, I never told anyone what was really happening to me because Marcus threatened to have my dad killed. I wasn't sure how believable that was, but I was definitely too afraid to take the risk, so I kept my mouth shut."
