Becoming Hers

29

*LEXI'S POV*
After what Caleb had told me I decided to meet up with Dani and Ember to see what they knew. The two of them were probably the two people on the team that I connected with the most. They were actually the first two to speak to me so I guess that's why a friendship grew so quickly. However, when I got there neither of them were aware of the situation so I had to explain to them exactly what Caleb had said.

"Why would he do that?" Ember questioned.

"Has he straight up admitted to it?" Dani asked.

"No." I mumbled, "And he didn't do it," I was sure of it but I just didn't know how to prove it.

"Well how do you know?" Dani challenged and it kind of felt like she wanted me to be wrong, or rather, she wanted Caleb to have done it. I shook my head and shook off the thoughts. She was just trying to make sure of the truth before anything else happened or the accusations were taken any further. 

"Yeah it's not like you'll be able to remember, you were as out of it as him," Dani snorted at Ember's comment.

"Oh yeah, you blabbing on about some girl," Ember added. 

"Yeah I've heard," I didn't want to talk about getting rejected again.

"It's that Heron girl isn't it?" Dani mentioned.

"How the hell do you know that?" I asked but chuckled at how accurate she was.

"I know things," Dani shrugged.

"Back to Caleb," Ember seemed annoyed but I wasn't sure why, considering how she was fine when I'd arrived.

"We have to know the truth before we do anything," Dani said, "What will we even do?"

"He didn't rape her," For some reason I just knew that he didn't.

"Well why don't we go and ask her?" Dani suggested, expecting me to just decline that suggestion and agree with her.

"Ok sure," I nodded.

"Guys is that really the best thing to do?" Ember pointed out that if she actually was raped then it wouldn't have been a comfortable situation.

After debating it for half an hour we decided we'd just go and ask her because why the fuck not. Ember was still weary with everything and didn't want to come along so she went home.

We arrived at Audrey's house and was greeted at the door by Trinity. She knew why we were there so she didn't hesitate to let us inside. She led us through the hallway and into the kitchen where Finley, Quinn and Audrey were perched up against the counter.

"Good, glad we are all here," Dani announced.

"What do you want?" Audrey grunted.

"We just wanted to talk to you," I said but I could tell that it was going to be more than talking before we'd even started.

"If it's about the other night I don't want to hear it," She muttered.

"Look we just need to know what happened," I explained.

"He raped me," Audrey claimed.

"That's not really proof," Dani noted.

"You want proof? Fucking hell why don't you believe her?" Trinity yelled.

"Because Caleb can't remember shit," Dani raised her voice to match the volume of Trinity's, "so we need to know,"

"Probably bullshitting you there," Trinity responded.

"Well how do you know your gal pal over there isn't lying?" Dani pointed at Audrey.

"Why would she lie about that?" Finley hissed and it was the first time I'd actually heard her speak that day.
