"Hi, honey! How was school?" My mom asked.

"It was fine I guess." I said as I walked up to my room. I took my phone out.

9-1-1.

"Hello. How may I help you?"

"Hi. I'd like to report a sexual harassment." I felt the tears drip down my cheeks.

"Did you witness it?"

"No, I was a victim."

"Oh, well I need you to state your full legal name and age."

"My name is Margarita Schuyler, and I am 14 years old."

"Okay, who was the other person involved?"

"Levi Weeks."

"Where and when did this happen?"

"After school in the woods right behind the school."

"And how old is he?"

"I'm pretty sure he is 18. He is a senior."

"Okay. What exactly happened?"

"He told me to meet him in the woods. When I got there, he grabbed my arm and started to kiss me. He let me walk away, but ran after me."

"So it was just kissing nothing else?"

"Yes."

"Okay, thank you. We will do what we can to help."

I wiped the tears off of my cheeks. Then I thought of Alex. How he defended me.

And Peggy 💛
Why did you defend me?
A.Ham
Because I know the truth
And Peggy 💛
Yeah but you kinda went with the person who started that whole thing
A.Ham
Yeah about that
I'm sorry
And Peggy 💛
And I should believe you why??
A.Ham
Because I truly mean it
And Peggy 💛
And I thought John truly meant he loved me but here we are!
A.Ham
Peggy he really did love you
And Peggy 💛
Did
A.Ham
He still does
And Peggy 💛
Well I don't love him
A.Ham
Peggy you have to believe that I am sorry
And Peggy 💛
Fine
A.Ham
Should I be happy about that answer?
And Peggy 💛
Yes you should
I mean my sister may have broke up with you but I guess we can still be friends right??
A.Ham
What about "Sisters before everything"?
And Peggy 💛
Oh shut up
A.Ham
So we are friends again?
And Peggy 💛
Of course
A.Ham
Good because you are one amazing one!
And Peggy 💛
You are too!!
But why did you choose John?
A.Ham
Because he is my best friend and I was scared to lose him
Now I realized I lost an amazing friend and girlfriend
And Peggy 💛
Oh
A.Ham
I'm so sorry for everything
And Peggy 💛
I forgive you

"Hey, Pegs." Eliza said sitting next to me. "I see you turned this whole thing around."

"Yeah."

"That's great! I'm proud of you!"

"Why'd you give up Alex for me?"

"Because you're my sister; you're more important!"

"But he's really nice!"

"He chose John over us."

"Because he didn't want to lose him, but he realized he made a mistake. He apologized. He still wants you! Me and him made up."

"You did?"

"He stuck up for me when Levi was calling me a slut. You know before I called him out? He said he was very sorry for leaving."

"He did?"

"Yes."

"Well maybe I should tell him that I'm sorry. I mean he didn't do anything wrong, right?"

I shook my head.

"What about John? He wasn't the one who twisted the story."

"No, but he let it happen!"

"So you don't want to date him anymore?"

"Nope."

"Oh, okay. Well I'm going to talk to Alex."

"Okay, bye."

"Wait one more thing."

"Yeah."

"John was cheating on you the whole time you were dating. We all knew about it, but we didn't want you to get hurt. I figured I should tell you, but now I kind of regret it."

"With who?"

She bit her lip. "Alex."

"What? He's your boyfriend!"

"Yeah, I know, but Alex loved John just as much as me, so why should he suffer."

"How do you have a such a great mentality? But most importantly why didn't anybody fucking tell me!?"

"We knew you'd get mad."

"Not if he would have explained! Although it is kinda of weird since you're my sister and all."

"Oh, yeah."

"So that's what the dumbass nicknames were about!"

"Yeah."

"Well thanks for telling me."

"No problem."
