"Okay," Thian started, clapping his hands together and folding them in his lap in front of him. "I think we all know what we're supposed to do."
"No," Annalise said. "I don't like this."
"Anna, we have to," Hayden sighed.
"I hate confrontation," Annalise went on, tucking some of her now purple hair behind her ears. "I hate this."
"The only way Chloe's going to understand that what her and her boyfriend's said and done is wrong, is if we just sit her down and tell her how it's made us uncomfortable," Josie reasoned. "Right now she's so blinded by love and ignorance that she doesn't see it."
"It's not our job to make her see reason," Thian went on. "But we love her, so here we are."
"But shouldn't friends do that, though?" Hayden asked. "If you notice one of your friends doing something wrong and they're hurting you and someone else by saying or doing that, shouldn't you, as that person's friend, tell them off?"
"Yes, but if she doesn't listen, then it's not our job to constantly remind her that she needs to educate herself and stop hurting others," Thian said. "Ignorance is dangerous, and we can tell her so, but we're not at fault for hers. She needs to work on it herself. Only she can change her own mind."
"We don't have to do this, but we love her and we just..." Josie trailed off, not really knowing how to properly finish that sentence.
The four of them were sat in Quilter Street in the living space downstairs, two on each sofa. Hayden had made Josie a cuppa tea when she arrived half an hour ago, but she had not touched it. The four of them had instead spent their time staring at the coffee table, out at the garden, or at the walls. It had been a few days since they had decided that they needed to sit Chloe down and tell her how she was being inconsiderate. It had gone on for too long now. Depending on how this conversation went, Josie knew if she wanted to keep being friends with Chloe or cut her out of her life, no matter how hard that may be. Though she loved her and the two of them had loads of memories, she didn't know if she wanted to keep being around people that hurt her and her other friends.
