She was frozen for almost twenty minutes, unresponsive before she even noticed me rubbing her back and trying to talk to her.

"Don't touch me, please, don't do this, please just leave me alone." She screamed pulling her knees to her chest and sobbing

It broke my heart to see her like this but I removed my hand at her request. I wanted to be able to comfort her in some way but that didn't seem possible at this moment. I noticed her phone and quickly grabbed it before sliding the lock and scrolling through her contacts.

I found Callies and clicked it hearing a few rings before her response came through the speaker "Merry Christmas Blair!"

"It's Alice, I'm so so sorry I know it's Christmas but I really need your help." I rambled out still looking over at Blair who continued to sob relentlessly

"What happened?" She asked, concern and confusion evident in her voice

I sighed "I'll explain when you get here but we're at my house."

"I'm coming." she said before the line went dead

I placed the phone on my table and looked over at Blair letting my own tears fall. It seemed like hours before Callie arrived but when she did she wasted no time letting herself in.

"Blair oh my god." She whispered looking over at her before looking at me, her eyes now filled with rage "What the fuck did you do?"

"Callie I didn't do anything I promise, I have no idea what happened." I said between sobs trying to calm myself down but failing horribly

She didn't reply but made her way beside Blair on the floor and looked up at her "Hey Blair, it's Callie."

Silence.

"Blair please talk to me." She whispered gently placing a hand on Blair's arm causing her to violently start shaking

"Don't touch her." I breathed out softly as Callie's hand retracted back to her lap

Callie looked up at me, her eyes watery "I know what's going on."

"What is it?" I questioned wondering how on earth she could possibly know

She sighed running her hand through her hair nervously "Normally I'd say it's not my place to tell you but I will if you help me get her comfortable."

"Okay." I breathed out standing up and getting some pillows and blankets from my closet

I returned to find Blair curled up on her side facing the couch still sobbing. Unable to watch her in such agony anymore I gently tucked a pillow under her head before covering her with a blanket. Callie smiled at me uneasily before following me out to the backyard. The air was crisp and chilled my skin as I took in a deep breath trying to get my anxiety under control.

I turned to Callie after a second, my eyes probably puffy and red from crying so much "What happened Callie, I've never seen her so upset in my whole life."

Callie exhaled a breath seeming nervous to tell me "She never flat out told me, but I figured it out myself over time."

"Figured what out?" I questioned

"That Scott raped her." She stated looking down at the fresh snow on the ground
