"Well Trixie you, and your baby will be just fine. I think it's better you take a leave of absence from school. If your blood pressure gets any higher you will be at risk of a miscarriage." Trixie bows her head in shame as Manila rubs the top of her friends hand with her thumb for comfort, "I'm in the middle of classes right now though."

"Well if you have a doctors excuse you could probably return next fall Trixie." Manila chimes in.

"Of course you'll be receiving a doctors note." The doctor adds before walking out of the room.

"I need Adore." Trixie chokes out

"I've already tried contacting her I think-" Manila pauses to look at the time, "She's in rehearsal right now. But that was a couple hours ago." 

Trixie rolls her eyes, "Where's my phone if I call maybe she'll pick up."
------------------

Adore walks down the sidewalk on her way to get a cup of coffee for her, and Jinkx before she heads home. *Buzz Buzz* She picks up her phone to find Trixie calling her. Adore stops in her tracks, and contemplates on picking up.

"Hello?" Adore answers with a shaky voice. 

"Hey uhm... I need to see you." Trixie pleads over the phone. 

"It doesn't sound like you're at home where are you?" Adore asks with concern.

"I'm in a hospital right now. I had a scare earlier we're about to leave though after they run a couple more tests. Do you wanna meet somewhere are something?"

Adore exhales, and pierces her lips, "Uhm yeah I'm heading towards Starbucks where we used to hang out all the time. Maybe there?"

Trixie smiles, "Yes that's perfect."

------------------------

Trixie walks out of the hospital with Manila by her side, "Hey uhm, because of the stuff that went down yesterday. I think it's probably better that I went alone."

Manila nods her head, and smiles, "Of course I was kind of assuming that. Anyways I need to go resolve some of my own conflict." 

Trixie tilts her head to the side, "Hm I'll ask about that later." 

"At least let me drive you?" Manila pleads with her keys in her hand.

"It's ok I can just get a cab." Trixie reasons as she begins walking in the other direction.

"Uh no I'm driving you." Manila demands

"Fine." Trixie crosses her arms, and follows Manila to her car.
----------------------------------------

"One iced tea please." Trixie orders when she walks in, and turns around to find Adore sitting where they always would sit after a long day of classes. 

"Hey stranger." Adore chuckles once Trixie turns around. 

"Hey." Trixie sways her hips as she walks towards the booth where her, and Adore would always sit. 

"So ... is the baby ok?" Adore asks with perturbed eyes.

Trixie nods her head, "I'll have to take a leave from school. Away from all of the stress or I'll be at a high risk of losing it." 

Adore sighs, and sips her coffee lightly, "Better safe than sorry."
--------------------------------------------

Manila walks into her, and Raja's apartment she hears rummagingin her bedroom. Manila opens the door to find Raja gathering the rest of her things, "Sorry I thought you were with Trixie. I'm just dropping off my keys I'll be out of your hair in like a couple of minutes." Raja explains as she shoves her clothes into a black trash bag at a faster rate.

Manila sighs, and sits on her bed, "Look Raja I need to tell you something that I shouldn't have put off for so long." 

Raja continues to shove her clothes one by one only half way listening. Her heart pounding in her ears. She picks up her bags, and drops her keys next to Manila, "I was raped."

 Raja turns around to face Manila who's makeup was running as each tear hits the hands that are currently sitting in her lap.

Raja stares vacantly as the guilt consumes her heart, "Why didn't you tell me?" 

Manila blinks, and shivers as she begins to breathe at a faster rate, "I-I-I- Do-."

Raja sits next to Manila, and holds her tightly as an attempt to calm her down, "I wouldn't have left if I knew I would've helped. I hope you know that Manila." 

Manila's rapid breathing soon turns into a panic attack, and Raja does what they've always done when she has a panic attack. She sings their song quietly in the other girls ear.

Manila's breathing soon slows down, and Raja wipes away her tears, "I love you."
