In the morning, kaycee woke up and her body ached with pain. She swore she could feel exactly where he touched her when she'd gotten taken advantage of and she couldn't get the thought out of her head.

She knew her friends were sleeping in the rooms next to hers so she attempted to stay quiet as she opened her bedroom door and ran to the bathroom down the hall.

She bent down in front of the toilet and hurled, feeling absolutely disgusting even just thinking about last night.

She wondered if that kid had any idea about the trauma he caused her.

When she was able to shake the uneasiness she turned around to see Bailey in the doorway.

Bailey: "morning kayc"

Kaycee: "hey, morning"

Bailey: "you alright?"

Kaycee: "better now I guess, I just couldn't hold it in"

Bailey: "I don't blame you"

Kaycee: "bai?"

Bailey: "hmm"

Kaycee: "do you think that kid knows how much pain he's caused me?"

Bailey: "I hope he does kayc, I really hope so"

Kaycee: "how can someone be so selfish and willing to take advantage of someone in that way?"

Bailey: "people are scary, the world we live in is scary, especially for teenage girls like us."

Kaycee: "I feel like I can still remember where he touched me, even though I wasn't awake."

Bailey: "kayc..."

She started to hug her stomach and she pushed herself back against the wall, letting tears brim her lower lash line.

Kaycee: "I want Sean so bad"

Bailey: "he should be getting ready for bed now, do you wanna call him?"

Kaycee: "yeah I will"

Bailey nodded and shut the door quietly behind her, knowing that kaycee would want this time alone with him.

Sean: "hey bub"

Kaycee: "hey"

Sean: "how'd you sleep?"

Kaycee: "okay...but I feel disgusting this morning"

Sean: "I know...I'm so sorry"

Kaycee: "it's like I can still hear him and feel where he touched me, and I can't stand it!"

She cried louder and all he wanted to do was hold her so she knew she'd be safe again.

Sean: "shhh, kayc, look at me"

She glanced up from her bundled position with tears in her eyes.

Sean: "if anyone can move past this, it's you. now I know this is something that is so hard to forget about, but I want you to know that I'm right here with you through all of it"

Kaycee: "...come home"

Sean: "baby I can't, I wish I could but...I can't"

Kaycee: "I need you so much"

She cried and cried, he had no idea what to say to ease her pain because he wasn't there.

Sean: "breathe kaycee please"

Kaycee: "I'm gonna go talk to my parents"

Sean: "okay, I'll call you when I wake up?"

Kaycee: "okay"

Sean: "I love you princess"

Kaycee: "I love you too"

She wiped her tears, still feeling worthless as she made her way out of the bathroom and downstairs to be met with the saddened faces of her parents, siblings, and her best friends.

Laura: "oh baby come here"

Kaycee cried into her mom, not knowing exactly how they found out, but she had a feeling it was one of the girls.

She was glad she escaped having to explain, but she knew her parents and the entirety of her family would baby her for awhile.

She couldn't help but cry. She hoped her parents weren't mad at her friends, knowing they did everything they could've in that situation to save her.

Laura: "I'm so sorry we didn't know sooner"

Kaycee wanted to get herself together before she said anything, knowing it would be hard to understand if she was hyperventilating.

She made her rounds, giving each one of her family members a delicate and long hug, wanting them to know that she wasn't yet okay, but she would be.

Devon: "who is the kid?!"

Brad: "now is not the time dev, calm down"

Kaycee: "mom..."

The room got silent when kaycee spoke up, they hadn't heard a word escape her lips all morning until then.

Laura grabbed Kaycee's hands over the island and looked into her broken brown eyes.

Laura: "what sweetie?"

Kaycee: "I'm gonna go to Jojos class tonight"

Laura: "honey, are you sure you're up for it?"

Kaycee: "it's one of the only things that's able to take my mind away from this stuff, I can't deal with it anymore."

Laura: "as long as you're not going alone"

Kaycee glanced over to her friends that knew automatically and nodded, telling her that they'd go.

Kaycee: "I'm not"

Laura: "then that's fine"

Kaycee faked a smile and nodded at her mom, thankful that she'd said yes.

Kylie: "hey kayc, I know the subject is still sore, but have you talked to Sean?"

Kaycee: "mhm, the second i found out what happened to me, I was on the phone with him"

Laura: "how did he take it?"

Kaycee: "honestly, I dunno. He was so focused on making sure I was alright and calm. He never really told me how he felt about it..."

Julian: "mind if I step in?"

They just glanced at Julian who was joining them from the living room.

Julian: "he called us last night after he'd gotten kaycee to sleep"

Kaycee was intrigued.

Julian: "he started crying to us because he wanted nothing more than to be here with her to help her heal through it, but he couldn't"

Kaycee wiped a lone tear off of her cheek.

Kylie: "I'm surprised he hasn't booked a flight home yet"

Kaycee: "I told him no, he was gonna"

Laura: "he really does love you kaycee"

Kaycee: "I know, i tell myself how lucky I am every single day"

Brad: "how are you feeling in terms of the situation as of right now...do we need to look into therapy or anything?"

Kaycee wanted to immediately shut down the idea.

Kaycee: "no, I'm okay, it just happened so I'm still struggling to understand but, I'll heal on my own."

Devon: "kaycee please don't hesitate to get us if you need us"

Kaycee: "I know dev, believe me"
