PART TWENTY-THREE

monica awoke in the padilla household, specifically in tony's room, her eyes burning as she rubbed them. she could hear tony talking to his dad in spanish and then could hear the slight snores of jeff atkins beside the bed in a bean bag chair.

she sat up slowly, groaning and grabbing her hair, "agh, my head."

she looked down at her hands, noticing one was slightly bruised blue and purple. she furrowed her eyebrows as she looked around the room, something vibrating beside her.

she felt the covers for her phone, then picked up the device from the side of her, looking at her home screen. 2 texts from clay, 3 from monty, 1 from hannah and what seemed like a million notifications from instagram.

she quickly unlocked her phone, pulling up her instagram seeing a video posted by a kid from the grade above them.

monica reported the video, which she watched 50 times, and then locked her phone. the tears on her cheeks would not stop falling as the comments from the video echoed in her head.

"mo?" the voice next to her spoke, groggily as she quietly sobbed into a pillow.

then the door opened to the room as tony came in, watching as monica's back heaved up and down. he sighed and sat next to her on the bed, rubbing her back as jeff brushed his fingers through her hair.

"wh-what even ha-happened last night?" she asked, sitting up, hugging the pillow to her chest. "it's like ive woken up in a nightmare."

"well..." tony started, looking at jeff, "you punched jessica. there's not really any updates on her yet. they think you might have dislocated her jaw."

"then after you punched her, you passed out," jeff adds, holding onto monica's hand. "tony and i think someone roofied you. and then we dragged you to tony's mustang."

monica started weeping again as she listened to the two boys talk. it was awful, hearing that you punched someone, knowing that you might have dislocated her jaw. and what for? because she was grinding on your ex-boyfriend whom you cheated on?

in all honesty, it wasn't anyone's fault but monica's. everything that happened was her fault. and she didn't want to live like that.

but living with just a brother was hard. she didn't really have a person to go to for help and advice about this kind of stuff. not an older woman figure to go to.

so what she did after the two boys left her room was she called someone. she called someone she never thought she'd talk to for a million years.

"monica! what a lovely surprise!"

"hi mom. i need help."
