The girls filled one another in on their experiences of the night. Abby was merely disappointed in Edmund, but she didn't blame him. He couldn't help falling in love. She just wished it wasn't with the woman who attempted to murder her.
Sydni was furious, and heartbroken. She couldn't believe Peter felt that way about Abby. She couldn't believe she cared for someone who thought those things. Things he knew nothing about. She never meant for Abby to find out, only Edmund. The second Edmund shouted those words at Peter, Sydni's heart sank. She never wanted to hurt her best friend. She apologized countless times, blaming herself. Abby assured her she was not at fault.
Abby wasn't angry with Peter, she understood why he thought this about her. She was just upset that she looked up to him as a big brother and he didn't even care about her.
Susan talked to Peter all night. He told her how blind he was, and how he saw the truth now. But it was too late, he already hurt those he loved. Now they were further away from him than ever, and refused to spend one moment with him. All he wanted to do was apologize. Susan assured him he would have his chance at forgiveness. He just had to give them time.
Lucy spent the night talking with Edmund. He explained the entire situation to her. Why he kept the letters, what Abby said about him. He was truly heartbroken. He felt like he had lost the love of his life forever. But worse, his very brother had despised her for years. The one person Edmund longed to see, was the one Peter hoped to get rid of for good. This was like a knife to Edmund's heart.
No one slept a wink that night. But they all rose early to begin there journey to the How. They still needed to make sure everyone was safe. They began the journey that morning. 24 hours ago, they had been 7 friends, but now, they were seven strangers.
♕ ♕ ♕
They all walked the road in silence. None knowing what to think, or who they could truly trust. They had been walking for hours already, stopping only for lunch. But they hardly spoke to one another.
Lucy had hugged Abby and Sydni, telling them how much she loved them. Along with Susan. Anna stood between Abby and Sydni as they walked. Trying her best to comfort her friends, and show them love.
Susan urged Peter to attempt to make things right, to try apologizing. After hours of her begging, Peter finally tried. Deciding to apologize first to Sydni.
"Sydni?" He said as he walked up to her. Abby and Anna slowed, allowing the two to walk ahead of them for privacy.
Sydni sighed, but she didn't stop walking or look at Peter. "What?"
"I just wanted to say I'm so-"
"No." Sydni held a hand up, but continued walking. "Peter, you can't make things right with me. Not yet. First, you need to make things right with Abby. The way you feel about her is why I can't look at you right now."
"Felt." Peter said quickly.
"Doesn't matter now. Make things right with her, then we will talk. That might help you with Edmund too." She added.
Peter sighed as he stopped, allowing her to continue walking alone. She was right. He needed to talk to Abby. He had to make things right with her before anyone else. But, he knew he could never do that now. To truly make things right he had to do it at the right moment and in the right place. And that was not here or now.
Edmund finally mustered the courage to speak to Abby. He had to explain himself, he had to make things right with her.
"Abby?" He said as he walked up beside.
