"Do you want me to come with you?" Noah said sitting down on his best friend's bed. "I guess. I don't know." Lee said opening drawers trying to find an outfit to change into. The room was quiet for a minute, and then Noah heard some sniffles. "Lee? Are you ok?" She turned around a tear fell down her face. "Obviously I'm not fucking ok! My ex boyfriend has finally be taken in and now I have to look at him dead in the eyes and openly say that he raped me." "I don't think this is gonna be as big as you think Lee." Noah said. "Noah, he raped me. Nothing could be worse than this. It just makes me want to-" "Don't you fucking finish that sentence." Noah said knowing fully well what Lee was about to say. "It just makes me want to start cutting again."

"You can't say that shit Lee. You tell yourself this and then you start to believe it. And then, before you know it, your on the floor sobbing with lines across your wrists." "I just don't know what to do." "Talk to someone. You have so many people who love you." "Thanks Noah. Now, get out." "Rude!" Lee laughed. "I need to get dressed." "Oh. They both laughed." They both heard a buzzing noise and looked around for where it was coming from. Lee moved a shirt out of the way and found Noah's phone. Lee looked at who was calling and saw "Harper💞🥰" with a picture of one of her ex besties. "It's Harper." She said. Noah took his phone and started walking out of Lee's room. "Ya know, they really miss you." "Yeah. Can you go, I need to change." "Ok. I'll see you downstairs." Noah said leaving his friend alone.

When Lee walked down stairs Joe and Noah were waiting by the door and Brit was no where to be seen. "You ready to go Lee?" Joe said grabbing the keys to his car. "Yeah but, where's Brit?" "She had to go back to Pasadena. She didn't want to overwhelm you. Plus, she starts nursing school tomorrow. " "Ok. Noah, are you coming." "If you want me to." "Yeah. I think that would help." "Let's go." Joe said opening the door. They got in the car and pulled out of the driveway. At that moment, everyone was thinking the same thing, "What the fuck is about to happen."

When they got to the police station, the lady at the desk automatically knew who Lee was and she left to get the detective that was managing her case. "Hello, my name is detective Peralta. I have been taking care of your case. Can you come with me please?" "Just me?" "Yes. You guys can come wait back here." He said leading everyone in the door he came out of.

"I'll have her back in half and hour. Make yourself comfortable." Detective Peralta said guiding Lee out of the room that Joe  and Noah had to wait in.  He took her to his desk and she sat down in the chair. "So, we need to know what happened that night." He said pulling out a file and oping it. "Well, it was the fourth of July and we met up at the beach." She felt tears fill her eyes, she took a deep breath. The detective took notice of this, "Take as long as you need. I get this is all still so new to you. Just let me now when you are ready to talk."

 "No, I'm ready." Lee said. She told him everything about what happened that night. To her surprise, she didn't shed a tear. "Then he knocked me out and I woke up in the hospital." "Wow, thank you Ms. Keery. Now if you'll follow me, we need you to identify this boy."

Lee waled into a room with a window into another room, she could see and he couldn't see her. He was all alone on the other side of the glass. "Ms. Keery," detective Peralta said, "Can you tell me who this is?" "That's Chaz Danforth." Lee said. "He was my boyfriend for 2 years overall." "Anything else?" "Yes," Lee said, "He raped me." 

The other officer that was in there looked at the detective. "That's our guy. Cuff him." The other officer left and walked in and cuffed Chaz. Suddenly this rush of anger came over Lee. "I want to talk to him." she said to Peralta. "Are you sure?" he questioned. "Yes." Detective Peralta pressed a button and said, "Um, she wants to talk to him.  The two officers led both teens to a questioning room and Chaz was cuffed to the table. "We'll let you two go but I'll be at the door in case something should go wrong." said Perata closing the door.

"He babygirl." Caz said once the door was closed. "Don't yo baby girl me." "Come on babe," he said biting his lip, "I know you love it when I call you that." "Shut up Chaz. I don't want to make this longer than it needs to be." Chaz laughed, "I know the only reason you are here is to see me one last time before I'm locked up for doing nothing wrong." "Doing nothing wrong?" "Yeah, you were asking for it you little slut." Lee stopped pacing, "The fuc did you just call me?" "A slut."  he said. "Wow. You really are a dick."  Chaz tried to swipe at Lee but his hands were unable t move. "That's right Chaz. You can't hurt me anymore.You can't do shit to me or anyone else anymore. I have sat by and blamed myself for the things you said and did to me but these last few days with the help from one person in particular, I've learned that I was wrong." "What one person? That fuckin fag Noah?" "Shut up! It's my turn to talk. I've noticed that you are just so mentally fucked up that you have to make other people miserable to feel better about yourself. But not anymore. Not me, not anyone. If you even think about every trying to get back into my life, you will regret it." Chaz let out another chuckled, "Oh please, it's only a matter of days before you come crawling back to me." "i don't think you get it," Lee said. She slammed her hands on the table and leaned in close to his ear and said, "You don't control me anymore. I hope you rot in your sad jail cell." She moved back to where she was before, "Fuck you." Lee turned to leave and heard a lot of noise from behind her. She knew Chaz was trying to free himself. All her anger that was built up inside was out and she felt a tear fall off of her cheek. She turned around one last time and whipped a tear off of her face, "Just fuck you." she opened the door and closed it with out looking back.

She was overjoyed. That was the last she would ever have to see Chaz or talk to him. Well, that;s what she thought.
