Four Girls, One Problem

Angel's Idea

I'm sorry for not updating for so long!! Hopefully this'll make up for it!!

I couldn't imagine how Raine made it through each day. She was very humble--very isolated. I--we--had to help her. We were her friends and she needed us. No matter how much she would protest, we had to help some way. Everyone else had fallen asleep, but I couldn't. I laid in my sleeping bag, staring at the celing. I couldn't begin to think of what almost happened to Raine.

When I finally did fall asleep, I didn't dream. So the night went by fast. I woke up and looked around me. Raine was on her computer, while Kourtney and Shianne were still sleeping. I unlocked my phone to check the time. 8:32. I looked at Raine again and she still didn't know I was awake.

"Hey," I said.

She looked at me and smiled. "Hey."

"You're up early," I noted.

"I have trouble sleeping sometimes," she said typing.

"Oh," I said.

"You okay?" she asked.

"Are you?" I asked her.

She sighed and looked at me. "Look, what happened with William... It's nothing. I mean, I should've expected it. Don't worry about me."

I sighed. Raine was a stubborn girl.

When Shianne and Kourtney woke up, we chatted for a while and Raine had to go use the bathroom. I looked at Shianne and Kourtney and smiled.

"I have a plan," I said.

"What?" Kourtney asked.

"We have to report William," I said.

"I agree," Shianne said.

"How?" Kourtney asked. "What evidence do we have? We can't just walk in and say, 'William Underwood is a sicko who tried to violate his sister. And he also abuses her. But the parents don't know.' They won't believe us."

I felt my smile creep up on my lips. "That's why tonight, when he tries to hurt her again, we'll say we turned the camera off, but we'll leave it on to capture the evidence then go to the police station and show them."

"Not bad," Shianne nodded.

Raine walked back in the room and sat with us. "So what are we talking about?"

We shrugged. "Not much."

She looked at us skeptically, but shrugged. I gave Shianne and Kourtney a look and they just nodded. William was about to be busted! And we would have proof! There were knocks at Raine's door and she answered. Savanna smiled at us and looked around the room.

"Do you guys wanna come with me and Cody to Main Event?" she asked.

Raine shrugged and looked at us. "Wanna go."

"Sure," I smiled and stood.

Kourtney and Shianne smiled and stood too. We walked with Savanna and Cody drove us there. Kourtney's phone went off, then so did Shianne's.

"Are you two texting each other?" I asked them.

"No, I got a text from Jack," Kourtney said.

"Mine's from David," Shianne said.

I then realized how lonely Raine and I were. We didn't have boyfriends or crushes to talk to. Well, I like this one guy, but he was dating some girl. He didn't know I existed. His name is Mason.
