It's been a few days since I got beaten up and I have been doing better. I'm not all purple around my core and the cut on my eye healed. My black eye will last a few more days but I'm not worried about that.

Claire informed me that Amber and the four others girls got suspended for a few weeks and were reported to the police. They pressed charges and I got some paper working basically saying that Amber can't be in any of my class or be near me. I'm glad, it's my senior year and graduation is in a few weeks as well.

I don't think Amber will graduate to be honest. She will fail all her classes since she won't be able to step in the school for awhile. I mean, I wouldn't find not graduating with her, although I do feel bad for the lower class men that have to deal with her shit for another year.

It was officially the weekend and I was able to go see Carter and work a few hours. I have been working but not as much as I wanted to.

I drive down to the hospital and on my way, I get a call that was completely random. I picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hi, this is your local real estate agent. Are you looking for any homes or apartments you would like to consider?"

At the moment I couldn't stop thinking about the apartment I was looking at.

"Actually, yes there is. I'm not at home right now to look up what I was consider buying, but it's listed for about five hundred dollars a month around the local plaza."

"Let me look it up and see what I find, please hold on one minute,"

"Alright,"

The music stared playing from my phone and I focused on the road to get to the hospital. It wasn't long before the music stopped playing.

"It's the one on Duke Street correct?"

"Yes it is,"

"Tomorrow, I can see if we can get in touch with the owners and we can get a tour of the place. Do you have any idea if you will live alone or with others?"

"Yeah, I'll be available but I'll be having my little sister living with me along with my boyfriend and his brother. Our families are complicated at the moment,"

As I said Carter and his brother, I thought of how long his brother is staying at his friends house with any information on what happened. Shit.

"Okay, I'll make the appointment for tomorrow. is 2pm okay?"

"Yes, thank you."

"Have a nice day,"

I hung up and immediately called where Tyler was staying. I always had Tyler's friends mom's phone number in my car because Carter left it here one time when we were hanging out awhile ago.

"Hello?" the voice asked.

"Yes, I'm Wren Watson, Carter Jones' girlfriend. This is Tyler's friends mom right?"
