Jennifer walks Dylan over to the couch, Lilly grabs the phone to call the cops, and then Jennifer locks the door.

"Hello? Yes, I need the cops!" Lilly begins her call.
-
Dylan groans as she holds her back.
-
"How are you doing?" Jennifer asks Dylan.
"I think I'll have a giant bruise." Dylan cringes.
"You'll live." Jennifer smiles.
"Yeah to be a pain in your ass. You can't get rid of me that easily!" Dylan shouts.
-
Jennifer laughs.
-
"Glad to see nothing gets you down." Jennifer teases.
---
"Thank you." Lilly hangs up the phone.
"Well?" Jennifer looks over her shoulder.
"Ten minutes." Lilly sighs, and she falls back against the wall.
"Lilly!" Jennifer rushes to her side.
"Sorry. I'm just light headed." Lilly shrugs it off.
"Why don't you lie down in my bed?" Jennifer suggests.
"No I'm-"
"Lilly lay your stubborn as down." Jennifer demands.
"Okay." Lilly nods.
"You can clean up afterwards." Jennifer says, as she walks Lilly to her bedroom.
-
Lilly lies down, Jennifer checks on Dylan, and then the two watch for the cops.
----
Day turns to night, cops arrest Lilly's father, and they speak to everyone involved.

"Thank you ladies. You won't be dealing with him again." An officer says before leaving.
"Thank you." Jennifer nods.
-
Dylan yawns as Jennifer closes the door.
-
"Do you think Lilly's asleep?" Jennifer asks.
