AN: So this has been swimming around in my head for a while now but I wanted to get my other story finished and out of the way first :) I thought I might try a triple treble this time, just to have a go. This one is M rated and may have triggers in for some people. Don't read if you are of a sensitive disposition, I don't want to hurt anyone by bringing up bad memories or flashbacks or anything like that.

Chapter 1

She just laid there, leaning against the front door of Apartment 4D. She'd knocked a few times but nobody had answered so she assumed they weren't in (they were college students after all). She brought her knees up to her chest, making herself as small as possible so as not to be noticed by any strange people passing by. Really not in the mood for their judging looks and pitiful questions, she'd had enough of that on the 2 day bus ride over. She lost track of how long she'd been sitting there, but it must have been a while because she was woken up by someone approaching. She could faintly hear them talking but there were no responses, they must be on the phone. She kept her eyes closed as the person stopped in front of her, whispering into her cell phone.

"Yes I'm sure it's her. I know what your sister looks like Aubrey. You might want to get home as soon as you can. She looks pretty bad... Yeah, she was just laying there... she's curled up against the door asleep... No Aubrey... Do you want me to take her to the hospital?...Okay, okay, no hospital. How am I supposed to get her inside?"

She chose that moment to 'wake up'. Opening her eyes, she saw the unmistakeable ginger hair of Chloe Beale. Her older sister's best friend since they were tiny. She blinked a few times, looking into the older girl's eyes, her own began to fill up with tears at the concern shown by Chloe. She looked so flustered and worried. She cared. Nobody really did caring in the Posen household. Only Aubrey and she never came home anymore. Her tears turned into uncontrollable sobs. Chloe crouched next to her and pulled her close, she helped her up and practically carried her into the apartment and over to the couch, holding her until she calmed down and fell back to sleep.

Even after she'd dropped off, Chloe stayed sitting with her, her head in her lap, running her fingers through her soft brown locks. She heard the door slam and turned to shush whoever had walked in.

"Hey Chlo? You here?" The shout echoed through the apartment, causing the young girl to stir.

"Sh Becs. I'm in the living room." She tried to say it quietly but loud enough for her younger girlfriend to hear her. It obviously worked as Beca came through the doorway and frowned at the sight of Chloe holding a teen girl in her lap, a worried and sad look on her face and tears in her eyes.

"Chlo? Who's this? Why is she in our apartment?" Chloe looked to Beca and sighed. She was debating whether or not to wait for Aubrey or tell Beca who this was herself. She knew about Aubrey's siblings, she had just never met them, unlike Chloe who had practically helped Aubrey raise her younger sister.

"This is Sarah." She hoped Beca would catch on. She frowned for a moment before her jaw dropped and her eyes became almost impossibly wide.

"Sarah, as in, Sarah Posen. Sarah, Aubrey's sister Sarah?" Chloe nodded and gestured for Beca to be quiet, her volume creeping up in her excitement.

"What happened to her? Why is she asleep on your lap? Why is she here?" She was greeted with another sigh from the red-head as she shrugged.

"I have no idea. I came home from work and she was curled up against our door asleep. I called Aubrey, she's going to get away as soon as she can. Something bad happened Bec. Look at her. She's 17, she shouldn't be this small. I shouldn't be able to feel her ribs digging into my legs every time she breathes out. I didn't know what to do. I don't know when Aubrey's going to get here." By the end of her little speech she had tears flowing down her face. It was pretty clear to her what had been going on but she would definitely need to talk to Sarah and Aubrey before she jumped to any conclusions. She just hoped she was wrong...

AN: so... I know it's like, really short, but I just wanted to see what kind of a response I would get and whether or not you all wanted me to continue with this or try something else... Leave a comment and tell me :P
