the two girls were patiently waiting down the street in a random houses bushes for briar to come out of the sway house. lauren and olivia followed through with their plan. they've been sitting outside in the warm sun since about noon, and it's currently around 1:30 now.

"does she ever come out of the house?"
lauren whispers to liv crouching next to her

"lauren i don't want to do this." olivia says

"bitch if you don't." lauren begins, "i'll you on my instagram, i'll make up some lie about you."

liv swallows, "there she is." she whispers pointing through the bushes

opening the door of the sway house, stood briar in a pair of lululemon leggings and a set active sports bra. her hair was in a loose french braid. she had a pair of black nike running shoes on and airpods in. she called to jaden, "i'm going on a run!"

he yells back, "okay be safe!"

briar shut the door, and began to stretch. she bent over to touch her toes and she adjusted her back before enduring in a long run on a hot day. she started to jog down the street. briar enjoyed going on runs through the neighborhood. she loved seeing all the people walking their dogs and older couples taking a morning stroll. she yearned for that. she wanted to grow old with somebody so badly. she thought it would be jaden, maybe. you never know what fate had in store for them. maybe they'd end up apart, but they'd always find their way back to eachother.

"come on liv." lauren says, "she's right there."

"lauren." olivia pleads, "i don't want to do this."

"fine whatever." lauren scoffs standing up,
"it'll beat her ass myself."

lauren steps onto the concrete making briars heart stop. she slows down hoping to avoid lauren, but there is no avoiding her.

"fancy seeing you here." lauren fake smiles

"i'm just gonna finish my run." briar try's to get around her but lauren sticks her foot into front of her so she trips, her face scraping the concrete, definitely leaving a mark

"what the fuck." briar mumbles rubbing her scraped forehead

lauren pulls a pocket knife out of her back pocket and picks briars head up by the braid, holding it to her neck. briars eyes go shut and she holds her breath, "your little boyfriend made a huge mistake posting that voice memo to his nine million instagram followers."

"lauren please stop." briar croaks tears welling up in her eyes. she just wished things were right between her and lauren. why did she have to be so mean to her.

she drops the knife and punches her face. briar laying on the hot concrete, helpless. she was too in shock to do anything, and was utterly speechless. lauren used briars face as a human punching bag. olivia was just watching in shock, not knowing what to do. she'd never seen this side of lauren before.

"lauren stop." olivia comes out of the bushes

"shut up liv." lauren grabs briars hair lifting briar up half conscious. she looked as if she hadn't sleep in days and there was cherry jelly smeared all over her face, "look at her." she takes a wad full of hair that had been pulled out and pulls her neck back,
"she's pathetic."
