"No. What?"

"I said never mind."

"The last time I left you alone you took that razor and fuck Emily, you cut yourself, needed stitches. Tell me Emily. Tell me!"

"Fine! When I was little I used to have this friend and she used to get abused, okay. She used to let me stay over at her house but I would have to sit in the closet while he raped her, okay! So I know how you feel I was you for months. Until, one day I tripped and fell and I got caught. But it wasn't like what happened with Gregor. He threw me on the bed next to her and he was gonna do it right in front of me. I couldn't let that happen so I pulled him off of her but I didn't plan what happened next."

She sobbed. JJ rubbed her back.

"He pushed me down and I told her to get help but I knew it was too late. But I wanted justice for both of us. JJ he waited for her to come back to come. It was horrible. But the hospital was the worst. I felt so violated. I was so young, just a kid. I never wanna do that again. But justice wasn't served this time. There was no painful trail. No prison sentence. Did you know he's getting out in 3 months? I looked it up, 5 counts. 5, JJ! 5! I can't imagine how many counts Cyrus would've got. Never get out probably. That's all I wanted JJ, justice."

"Elizabeth?"

Emily turns quickly to face JJ with a look of shock and realization.

"Shelby?"

JJ nods.

"Oh my god! Shelby, I missed you so much!"

"So when did you start cutting? After my mother left Gregor, on my 12th birthday. Everything just hurt you know. The blood made it better. I didn't know what else to do. I'm sorry. I love you. I always did."

"Me too, me too."


Sorry its so short. I'm going to mix this with my other story, Girl Next Door for the past.
