Ryan's P.O.V
Something seemed off about these girls. Something didn't add up the night Sylvia's clothes got stolen. I find myself glancing over at Sylvia as Vivian and Kyla walk up to Gerard and Frank. Sylvia looked a bit dazed. "Hey, Sylv," I say quietly. 

She was staring at Kyla with a fearful look. "Hey it's okay, remember we hung out with them at the bowling alley the other day?" I whisper figuring maybe she's just nervous because she doesn't 'know' them. 

She shakes her head and says, "Oh-erm, yeah okay.."

We all were just messing around and cracking jokes for a majority of the time, but Sylvia, she didn't say a word- didn't even smile.

After a while, Sylvia nervously grabs onto Gee's sleeve of his hoodie. I watch as Kyla glares at her. Sylv quickly let's go and murmurs "I'll be back" and then walk away to the restrooms. 

I tug Gerard away from the girls and whisper something to him. He nods, anger in his eyes, but then he smiles it off and says, "sorry ladies, but we have got to go."

They looked shocked as Gee walks to the bathroom and knocks on the door.

I motion to the other boys to follow me and we leave the girls standing there dumbfound.

~~~Gerard's P.O.V~~~
I knock on the door and hear a soft sniffle. Was she crying? Was Ryan right, did they hurt her? 

"Hey- erm Sylvia, we're leaving if you're ready," I say.

I hear something fall and after a few seconds the door clicks unlocked and she walks out. Her eyes are bloodshot and it looked as if she was crying.

I quickly take her hand and we walk back to the trailer.

Sylvia came out of the bathroom in a light brown and beige flannel and a white and black tank top. She looked pretty, and she looks comfortable.  She still was acting distant but she curled up on my lap as we put on a movie.
