"So what do you think?" I asked the timid girl. "I could bring you home or the hospital is always an option if you think you need it."
Fear struck through her brown eyes. "I- I-" I interrupted her forced speech.
"I could tell you my plans?" she nodded. "Ok after this, Im headed over to Delilah Blackbournes house for a small party/slumber party." Then an idea popped into my head. "Do you know Delilah?"
"I- I- know of her." She forced out.
"Well, I need a date so Im not the-" I stopped and counted. Delilah (1), David (2), Rachel (3), Tyler (4), Mark (5), Braydon (6). "So Im not the seventh wheel. Do you want to go with me? That way you dont have to go home."
"Thats ok, I had plans already."
"With him?" I pointed to the lug on the ground. She nodded.
"Is that the crowd you want to be with though? I dont want to offend you, but reputations of your friends reflect upon you. I don't know you but you don't look like a girl who wants to have friends who show up to a high school dance drunk." I don't know why I was getting so angry, but I had to take a deep breath before I talked to her again. "How old are you?"
"Sixteen."
"That guy reeks of whiskey. If I'm being honest you look like a girl who wants out of her current situation and I can help with that. My offer still stands. I'll be leaving quarter after eleven if you'd like to come. Im sorry if I ruined your plans." I turned and started to walk away.
"Wait!" she yelled out to me. I turned back around and looked into her haunted eyes. The pained eyes that made me want to hold onto her. "Are you sure I won't be a burden?"
I gave a smile. "Im sure. Auntie Sang loves kids."

The lights were dim everywhere but the hallway. The music was so loud I could feel the beat in my chest.
I was sitting at a table taking off my heels. It's practically impossible to dance in them. I had one off when the chair across the table slid out.
"Hey, sweetcheeks." I looked up and saw Bryan. I took the other shoe off. He was accompanied by a girl with dark hair in a white dress.
She pulled lightly at his sleeve to catch his attention. "Can I use your phone? If I'm going to this party I need to call someone." Bryan nodded and presented his phone to the girl. She walked away but he kept a close eye on her.
"So? Who's that?" I asked.
"Oh, um, thats Sadie. I hope you dont mind but I invited her to your place. She was getting harassed in the hall so I wanna make sure shes safe for tonight." I nodded.
The girl came back with Bryans phone and thanked him. I went and danced with everyone until it was time to leave.
Bryan and Sadie stayed back because of the security sweep Bryan had to do, but the rest of us went home in the limo.

When I heard the limo pull into the drive, I raced to the door to meet my babies. I gave each a hug and kiss on the cheek.
"Hey, mom? Bryan is bringing home a girl. I hope you dont mind."
"Of course not! I just want to meet her before you all head to bed." Delilah nodded and went to the movie room.
Just then a car drove in. I opened the door wide to see Bryan helping a small girl out of the passenger seat. There were two things I noticed when she reached the door. One, her haunted, broken, and sad brown eyes, similar to my green ones before I met my boys. Two, the slight wobble in her step. Then I started to notice other signs, the way her body glowed and the slight bulge under her stomach, a small bump to be easily missed by poor lighting.
This poor girl was pregnant.
I met them at the door with a kiss for Bryan and a hug for his friend. I noticed how she stiffened at my touch.
"Whats your name darling?"
"Um, Sadie?" I raised my eyebrows waiting the rest of her answer. "U-um Sadie Lilly."
Sadie Lilly.
Several hours later.
~A~
Sang and her men sat in the meeting room. Sang was really paying attention, shed ask Luke about it all after. Hed understand her lack of concentration, she could only pray that he was actually paying attention today.
"Sang? Is there anything youd like to talk about?" Sean asked her knowing she was distracted.
She looked at Sean but quickly changed her view to Victor.
"Can you do something for me?" She asked him. Victors head lifted from his computer.
"Whats up?"
"I want you to look as deep as possible into Sadie Lilly." Victor nodded and wrote the name on a piece of paper.
"Can I ask why?" Owen asked. Sean wasnt the only one to notice her distraction. He was curious why this name has been troubling her.
"Bryan brought her over last night after the dance. I noticed something about her that I want to help her through."
"What did you notice?"
"Shes scared and timid, could be signs of a traumatic experience incident. I also believe shes pregnant."
Dakotas paled as the first thought that crossed his mind was his daughter. "Do you-?"
"I believe she was raped."
