Westbury School
"Bye Mom!" I said while waving.
"Bye, stay safe and listen. Call me once you get to the hotel."
"I will!"
"Omg Bella come let's sit right over here." We sat in the back of the bus near some of the more popular girls and boys. Jana and Jayden were in front of us, Kayla and Pais were to the right of us, Paxton and Axel were behind us.
"Alright guys, I want to set some ground rules. You guys can play some music, but if it gets too loud it's going off. And y'all stop trying to act grown back there. Don't think I can't see y'all." I giggled quietly as my Aunt exposed them. They went on and on with the rules and when she was done she said:
"Bella, come here for a sec."
"Alright." I went to the front of the bus and she handed me a snack.
"I know you like these,"
"Thank you." I went back to my seat and shared it with my friends.
"Bro when we get to Connecticut I'm going in that swimming pool."
"That's all you think about."
"I mean the pool is the best part of anything."
"Agreed."
"So it's the 5 of us in a room. And there's two beds."
"I hope you guys don't sleep walk or something."
"Right."
"Getting ready in the morning will be crazy."
"5 girls in 1 hotel room."
"I don't even want to think about it."
"Now imagine a room with those 4 boys."
"Feet." I said. We all laughed and talked during the ride.

Holiday Hill
"Alright, you guys can do whatever you want, be back at the bus by 4:30."
"Yes Mr.Gamory." I went to look for my aunt and told my friends to wait for me at the bungee jumping thing.
"Hey Bella. Feeling better this morning?"
"Yeah. Maybe I'll tell you when we get back to the hotel, when I get settled in."
"Whatever works baby. I'm proud of you. It must be hard."
"It is."
"Alright, go meet up with your friends! This is your trip." I jumped the line and went with my friends. I got harnessed for the bungee jumping and I just jumped for a bit thinking of what trick to do.
"Backflip!" Paisley said. I did one and landed perfectly.
"I was so freaking scared." Now, Kylie was going all out on the thing. She did do many flips and tricks and I was wondering how she wasn't dizzy from it all.
"Alright time's up!" I was released and I felt quite dizzy."
"I was about to ask whether you guys wanted lunch or not right now but you guys don't look too good."
"Something to note, don't do too many backflips."
"I want to puke."
"Maybe we should go to the café you guys can rest while we go do rock climbing.
"Sounds cool." They walked us there like the gentlemen they are and then left to go do their rock climbing.
"Paisley...text them in like 30 mins."
"You do it, I'm gonna go throw up." I was starting to feel better so i texted the boys. Oh, how I wish I had my own phone.
"You guys ready? We could go get a popsicle or something."
"Yeah..let's go." All of the food at Holiday Hill is free so we ate until we were full!
"Omg they're playing my favorite song over there! Let's go guys!"

Special Victims Unit
"Is this SUV?" A little girl asked. I got down on one knee and smiled kindly.
"Yes, this is SVU...where's your Mommy or Daddy?"
"Daddy died."
"Oh no, I'm so sorry." I took her into my office as the squad watched.
"How did you get here?!"
"I take the bus, the M34 and I come here. To speak to Olivia Benson." She said.
"Well, that is me." Something about this girl was different...She had this weird resemblance to Bella.
"What's your name sweetheart?"
"Leia Frazier."
"That's..a beautiful name sweetheart. What's your Daddy's name?"
"Dashon. Mommy said he's gone, that means he is dead."
"Lei....who sent you here?"
"My teacher, because I got a lot of boo boos." She showed me her thigh and frowned.
"I got hurt there, really bad."
"By who?!"
"Mommy friend Greg."
"Oh no....I'm so sorry." Does Bella have a sister out there?! Is she sitting...in my lap?! Things have been so crazy lately....What am I going to tell my daughter?

Our Hotel (Bella's Perspective)
"I claim...this bed!" I dropped myself into it along with Kylie and Paisley and we laughed.
"Girls, you guys have 30 minutes to settle in and then you meet us downstairs outside."
"Okay." I smiled at my Aunt and she told me to text my Mom.
"She said hi guys."
"Tell her we said hi." I told my Mom goodnight for the evening and then started to settle in.
"We don't have to go to bed till whenever.."
"Party all night."
"Um..noo! We still have to wake up tomorrow morning, and Ms Hinds will check in on us. She's Bella's Aunt, remember?"
"Sorry for the family relationships guys." I said while laughing.
"It could be worse."
"Let's just stay up till 11:45."
"11:50?"
"11:30." We all said to Paisley.
"It's 5:30 lets go downstairs!" We took the elevator down and went to the courtyard.
"Well, finally." My Aunt said.
"We're allowed to have girl talk." She put her arm around me as Mr.Gamory and Ms.Philips explained the activities. I looked at my Aunt and then she gave me a kiss. No one was looking so it didn't bother me.
"So let's go into the jar and choose some names." This activity was revealing what middle school we were going to next year. Though I knew some of them already.
"Bella Benson."
"I'm going to The Trinity School next year." Everyone clapped as I said that and I saw Maria roll her eyes. Jealous much?
"I'm so hungry."
"When are you not?"
"We're ordering pizza."
"Can we have chicken?"
"Right, chicken is the best."
"Yeah mhm chicken." We all laughed except for my aunt because she doesn't know the vine.
"I don't even know what's so funny."
"The vine! I'll tell you about it when I come to your room later."
"Alright." So we went to go shower and watch some movies.
"Let's do each other's nails."
"Nails?" Jana said.
"Yeah, it's my best quality."
"Paisley is great, trust me."

Home (Olivia's Perspective)
"Okay Leia, this is my daughter's room. You can sleep here for the night."
"Its very pretty."
"Right, she likes to keep her room very tidy."
"Olivia, I haven't taken a bath in a long time. Can I take one?"
"Of course sweetheart." I took off the sweater I gave the poor girl when she said she was cold and there were more bruises under her clothes.
"Oh my word." I whispered.
"It's just a boo boo. Accidents happen." She said calmly. This isn't natural...I had already taken her to hospital to do a rape kit and her calmness is outstanding, along with her cute little giggle. She reminds me so much of Bella.
Mercy Hospital
"I'm going to do a little test on you, and it might hurt a little. It's okay to cry."
"Okay."
"And I'll stay right here Lei. I won't go anywhere." The doctor began and she looked up at me with a smile. Something I found quite weird because Bella was in tears when they did hers.
"It doesn't really hurt Livy."
"That's good sweetie..That's good."
"Okay now we're going to take some pic-"
"No, pictures. I don't like pictures. Always do that before hurting me." She cried.
"The doctor won't hurt you..I promise. You trust Livy, right?"
"Yes. I trust Livy."

Aunty's Hotel Room (Bella's Perspective)
"Hey babe. You can sit on the bed."
"Alright. Let's get this over with. I want to be done already." My Aunt closed her laptop and went into her bag to get something. Our Notebook! I haven't written in it in a very long time. Wonder why she's bringing it out right now.
"Liv told me that when it comes to this topic..she didn't tell me what the topic was..But she said you don't like to say it out loud sometimes. So I brought our book in case you felt uncomfortable."
"Oh. Let's just start now, I want to get it out of my head."
