Tiffany was silent. Summer began to get angry. She could not believe that Todd was hurting her sister.

Seth looked from Summer to Tiffany and back to Summer. Tiffany and Todd had been going out for awhile now. "Tiffany? How long has this been going on?"

Tiffany wasn't paying attention to Seth. She looked away from Summer. "What did you say Seth?"

"How long has Todd been hitting you?"

"I never said it was Todd."

Summer couldn't believe this. She and Seth both knew it was. "You never said it wasn't either. Now, how long has it been going on?"

"A couple of weeks." Tiffany could barely look at Summer.

"I can't believe you didn't tell me Tiff!"

"I didn't think that it was that big of deal Summ!"

"Not that big of a deal? Are you serious? He's hitting you!" Summer was furious.

Seth decided to interrupt. "Tiffany? Why exactly did Todd start hitting you?

Tiffany hesitated. As she opened her mouth, the bell rang. She started to walk away saying that she had to get to class.

"This is not over Tiffany. We are talking about this later!" Summer called out.

As Seth and Summer got up and began to walk to class, Summer thought about what happened. She could not believe this was happening.

After school, Summer began searching for Tiffany. She wanted to find her before Todd did. While looking for her sister, she saw Todd at his locker. She instantly forgot about her search for Tiffany and walked up to Todd. She put on a fake smile and began talking to him like nothing was wrong, although there was something very wrong.

"Hey Todd! How're you doing?" Summer said.

"Oh, hey Summer. I'm doing pretty good." Summer rolled her eyes.

"Oh really? If you're doing "pretty good", then why have you been hitting her?" Summer asked.

Todd was surprised. "Uh what? Hitting who?"

"My sister, you idiot. Why have you been hitting my sister?" Summer was not playing around. She wanted to know.

At that exact moment, Tiffany walked up. "Summer? What are you doing here? Talking to Todd?"

Todd walked over to Tiffany. "What did you say to her?"

Tiffany was confused. "What?"

Todd violently grabbed Tiffany's shoulders. "What did you say to Summer?"

"Todd, I didn't say anything. I promise."

"Then how did she know Tiffany? Huh?" Todd kept his grip on her shoulders very tightly.

"Todd, I didn't say anything to Summer about you. You're hurting my shoulders. Please let go." As Tiffany spoke, Summer heard the pain in her sisters voice. Just as she started to walk toward them, Seth walked up. He held her back as Todd let go of Tiffany.

"Thanks. Now, I promise you. I didn't say anything to my sister. Can we please have this conversation somewhere else?" Tiffany attempted to look Todd in the eyes.

"No. We'll have it right here." Todd was getting angrier. Without thinking, he punched Tiffany in the face, and then grabbed her throat. "Now tell me what you told Summer!" He yelled.

Summer was crying. "She can't say anything with you choking her!" Seth pulled her into his arms so that she didn't have to see the pain her sister was in. He gestured to Ryan and Marissa, who had just walked up. He gestured for Marissa to come over to Summer and for Ryan to go over to Todd. As Marissa got to Summer, Ryan ran over to Todd and attempted to pull him off of Tiffany. Seth soon ran over. Todd had no intention of letting go of her throat.

"Seth. Seth! Stop trying to get him to let go. He only tightens his grip when we try to pull him off." Ryan and Seth stopped. Ryan then punched Todd. Todd released his grip on Tiffany, throwing her in to the lockers. She hit her head and fell to the ground. As Todd tried to go after Ryan, three security guards showed up. One of them tackled Todd, the second one got between Todd and Ryan, while the third ran over to Tiffany. Summer turned around and saw Tiffany lying on the floor crying.

"Oh my god! Tiffany!" Summer and Marissa ran over to her.

"Miss please stay back." The security guard with Tiffany said.

"Like hell I will. That's my little sister." Summer said crying. The security guard and Summer helped Tiffany up off the ground.

"They're going to want you to get checked out in the nurse's office." The security guard helped Tiffany to the office.

After awhile she walked out of the office. Summer, Ryan, Seth, and Marissa were all waiting for her. Summer was the first to talk.

"You alright, Tiffany?" Tiffany just looked at Summer and then walked away.

About an hour later, Ryan, Seth, Summer, and Marissa were hanging out at Ryan and Seth's house when the doorbell rang. Kirsten answered the doorbell.

"Oh hey Tiffany. You looking for Summer? She's in Seth's room with the boys and Marissa."

"Actually Mrs. Cohen, I was hoping I could talk to Mr. Cohen about something." Tiffany said politely.

"Oh. Well, sure. Yea, of course. He's in his office. Its right this way." Kirsten led Tiffany to Sandy's office. "Sandy, Tiffany's here. She wanted to talk to you." Kirsten walked out of the office.

"Hey Tiffany. What's up? What'd you want to talk about?" Sandy gestured for her to have a seat.

"Hey, Mr. Cohen. I was wondering how old you had to be to sue someone."
