(A/N): Hi guys! No, I'm not dead.

I'm really sorry I haven't posted a chapter, but I'll tell you why I was gone for so long.

Well, I was busy with school (Junior Year is tough) and I was in my school play, which by the way we were doing High School Musical and I got the part as a Skater Dude Extra (I know it's doesn't seem like a big part to you, but the background people are just as important as the main characters and I had of fun). I was also working on the posters which are going to be posted around the auditorium when the show comes. I posted them on DeviantArt.

Okay everyone here's the next chapter. Two more chapters and it's already the end.

Trigger Warning: Child Abuse and Suicide Attempts


Quinn's POV

Tadashi stayed in the hospital for the next few days. The doctors wanted to make sure he fully healed before they let him go.

Once he discharged from the hospital our little superhero team returned and we became crime-fighting heroes, but this time Tadashi was fighting with us.

For Tadashi, Hiro built him a suit that was primarily in orange with green accents and black armor, with black clothing underneath that covers most of his body up, along with steel-toe orange boots.

Thanks to us, crime over the city of San Fransokyo disappeared over night.

However at school, I noticed that Priscilla was acting strange. After we became friends, we started eating lunch together, but I noticed she's been coming into school with bruises and cuts on her arms and legs. If someone asked her what happened, she would just say she got into accident or something like that.

But I soon realized the truth.

It was around the last week of April, and I decided to throw a movie night at my house. Hiro, Tadashi, Baymax, Priscilla, and the rest of the gang were coming over.

The gang arrived right on time, but Priscilla said she was running late. So we just sat around the house waiting for her.

I was coming out of the bathroom to wash my hands. But I started walking down the hallway to get to the stairs, I noticed that the door to the guest room was left partially opened.

Being curious, I leaned in a little closer to see what was going on in there.

Through the door, I saw Tadashi and Honey sitting down on the bed. Tadashi had his shirt off, exposing his scar covered back.

Honey was behind him staring at the scars on his back, with her fingers tracing over the scars.

"Do they hurt?" She asked.

"No." He replied. "Not anymore."

I let out a sigh.

Things between Tadashi and Honey have seemed to patch up. They were back together, and that's the way it should be.

But I couldn't get Hiro out of my head.

I still hadn't told Hiro about how I felt. A part of me wanted to tell him, but another part of me was terrified.

Just look at Tadashi and Honey. They looked like a perfect couple, and they almost looked like the embodiment of true love.

And just look at my parents they've been together ever since High School.

I thought I wasn't going to be good enough for him either. Hiro's special, he's been building robots, he graduated High School when he was thirteen, and he got accepted into SFIT, one of the most elites schools in the world.

But what I was afraid of the most was this: What if it ruins our friendship?

We just spent months apart from each other and we almost had our friendship destroyed twice. What would happen?

I walked down the stairs, then suddenly I heard the doorbell ringing. I was about to open the door, but Baymax insisted that he would do it for me.

"Quinn, your friend is here." He called.

And you guessed it Priscilla was standing right there, but she was wearing, sneakers, baggy grey sweatshirt and matching sweatpants. Usually she would dress up girly with pastel colors, and to make things even stranger she was wearing sunglasses even though it was already nighttime.

"I-I'm so glad you came over." I said trying to cover up my concerns.

But she just nodded her head and she made her way over to the living room and she sat down on the floor.

The rest of the gang didn't say anything when she came in. They all weren't to keen on the idea of me being friends with one of my former bullies, especially GoGo and Hiro.

Just then Honey came walking down the stairs, with Tadashi (who was putting his shirt back on) right behind her.

Honey smiled and waved "Hi Priscilla!" She said cheerily.

But again Priscilla just nodded at her not saying a word.

The only one that was happy about the whole "Priscilla being my friend thing" was Honey Lemon, and she's glad that she learned her lesson.

Anyway, we were watching that Bette Midler movie, Beaches (Plum suggested it cause she wanted Hiro to see how great it is). While ieveryone had their eyes glued to the screen, I was looking at Priscilla. She hadn't said a word all night.

But then when "The Wind Beneath My Wings" scene started playing. I noticed Priscilla slowly started to take off her sunglasses to wipe away a tear, but then Baymax turned his head towards her and said: "Priscilla, it appears you have a bruise on your eye."

Everyone quickly turned their heads towards her. Plum, who was next to the remote immediately stopped the movie and Fred turned on the lights so we could all get a good look at her.

Priscilla covered her face with her hands and her baggy sleeves. She shook her head begging "No. Please stop staring at me!"

GoGo crawled over and tried to put her hands down, but Priscilla pushed her away but then her sleeves feel down to her elbows, revealing bruises on her forearm.

We finally got to see it. Indeed there was a bruise on her eye and there were bruises on her arms.

"Priscilla, what happened?" I asked.

"I...uh..."

She was hesitating, I knew something was up.

"Don't lie to me." I told her.

Tears started streaming down her face she took a deep breath and said "My Mom beats me."

We all gasped at what we heard. "How long has this been happening?" Tadashi asked.

"Ever since Quinn became valedictorian." She replied with tear-filled eyes. "She hits me because she loves me, I deserve it, I'm the one that did something wrong."

At that moment, I felt like I was responsible, I'm the reason why this is happening.

Honey shook her head "Priscilla, that's not love. That's abuse."

"Priscilla, you can't let your mother keep doing this to you." I told her "Does your father know about all this?"

She hesitated again, but she shook her head "No."

"Where is he?" Fred asked.

"My Dad is a war member of the U.S. Coast Guard, so he isn't around that much and my Mom's the President of the School Board and she did everything in her power to have the whole school turn against me and Quinn."

But then Baymax spoke again "It also appears that you have scars on the back of your forearm."

We all looked at her, but she didn't hesitate she immediately showed us, there were cuts on her arm.

"Priscilla, are those self-harm scars?" I asked.

She nodded her head with her eyes filled with tears.

I shook my head in response "No, cutting yourself won't change anything. Trust me, I know."

But she shook her head "No, I deserve it. I deserve all of this pain. No one cares about me anyway."

"That's not true." I said "I care about you."

"Me too." Honey followed. "We all do."

Tadashi walked up to her and he held her hands "Priscilla, I know how you feel. I've been abused by Professor Callaghan and there were times when I felt like I was alone and there was no where to go." He looked at me and Hiro "But if it wasn't for my friends and my brother, I don't know where I would be. I know it feels scary and you may think that you're the only one that's going through this, but it's not true."

I decided to speak again "And, over the past three months that I've been depressed, I thought about taking by own life, but suicide isn't worth Priscilla. Just remember that there are people out there that care about you and it's a horrible experience for them to go through when you're gone."

Then Plum stood up "You know what, it's time your mother to pay for her crimes."

"What?" We all asked in unison.

"She's the School Board President right? She shouldn't be abusing the students like this." She replied.

Wasabi nodded in agreement "Yeah, San Fransokyo High needs to be safe from her."

Immediately Fred, Tadashi, Honey, Baymax, and I nodded our heads.

I looked over at Hiro and GoGo who seemed uneasy.

"Priscilla, these last 4 years, you and your clique did absolutely nothing but torment and harass me and Quinn." Hiro stated.

GoGo nodded "Exactly, so why should we trust you?"

Priscilla sighed at their comments "Look, you guys have every right to not trust me, and I know I don't deserve your help, but who else can I turn to?"

Hiro still wasn't convinced "Quinn, don't you remember what Priscilla and her friends did to you to and me? They relentlessly bullied and tormented us all throughout high school."

"I know, Hiro." I said as I nodded "But Priscilla really has changed. She really is a nice girl. Besides, she's been through a lot: her dad is in the military, she lost her spot as captain of the cheerleading squad, her friends and boyfriend cheated on her, and worst of all, I found out that her mother has been abusing her." I told him. "When Mrs. Simcox found out that I was valedictorian instead if her daughter, she berated her nonstop. And, it's not just emotional abuse either. Priscilla has been coming to school these last couple of days covered in cuts and bruises, and just recently, her mother gave her a black eye. I've tried to convince her to get help, but she keeps covering up for her mother and just doesn't want to face reality."

Hiro and GoGo looked at each other for a moment and they both nodded their heads.

"Alright, we're in." GoGo smiled.


One Week Later...

Priscilla found out that her mom and a few of her ex-best friends were coming up with a plot to kidnap me so she could become valedictorian, but that was all the information we need cause we started our graduation rehursal. Mrs. Simcox was there watching and she kept on giving me dirty looks.

I was still working on my speech though. I never thought leaving high school would be this bittersweet. I everyone was finally starting to accept me and I already starting to make new friends.

Oh and my Dad is playing the music for the ceremony and they want me to sing, I had to make up after what happened back at Tadashi's memorial.

During the break, I walked into the halls to get a drink of water. I already heard the footsteps coming towards me, but the plan was already set.

Imediantly I felt two people grabbing my both of my arms and they slammed me on to the ground. Then someone tied a piece of rope around my wrist.

I turned my head around to see it was Brunette Girl, Raven Haried Girl, Quarterback, Running Back, and Tackle.

But then I heard a voice shouting from the distance "QUINN!"

I turned my head to the side and saw Plum running towards me.

I shook my head. 'This couldn't be happening. How could she forget?'

I guess she remembered the plan when she saw me shaking my head and she tried to run back but then Raven Haired Girl stepped on Pulm's tail with her heal and she let out a cry of pain.

"Hey, I know you. You're Quinn Corona's little flea-infested stoogette."

Plum started yanking her tail away and she said "Yes ma'am, am her properly pampered princess! Thank you very much!"

Brunette Girl's lips turned into a smirk and said "Do you know what we do to princesses who step out of their kingdom?"

"You guys can't do anything to her!" Plum warned.

"Well, technically they can." I replied playing along "We are in their territory."

"But, Quinn." Plum continued "You told me these guys were nothing but selfish, immature, cowardly, stupid bullies."

I started getting nervous, so I mumbled "Ixnay on the oopid-stay..."

"Who you calling 'OOPID-STAY'!?" Quarterback yelled.

I was surprised, he knows Pig Latin?

Then Brunette Girl and Raven Girl pinned Plum down while the boys tied her up.

"We've got you now my pretty." Brunette Girl laughed.

"AND YOUR LITTLE KITTY CAT TOO!" Raven Haired Girl followed.

"Plum, it's okay. It's part of the plan." I whispered.

"Excellent work everyone." A familiar voice from the distance called coming towards us.

It was Mrs. Simcox.

"Now let's get going, San Fransokyo Bay is only 30 minutes away."

They were planning to leave me stranded at San Fransokyo Bay. They all lifted Plum and me up off the ground and they carried me out.

"You know, Quinn? You and I are so much alike." Mrs. Simcox said. "Always overlooked, under-appreciated, looked down upon, shut out by those you want to help, and just wanting to be loved by someone...Just think of the potential we both possess. Imagine having so many people, once not even giving a damn about you or your life, kneeling before you and treating you like an empress?"

"So, that's your plan?" I asked "Turn the whole school into a dictatorship!? Is that why you had your daughter and everyone else bully me like that!?"

She nodded her head enthusiastically "Pretty great plan, isn't it?"

I shook my head "It'll never work!"

"Fear always works!" Mrs. Simcox reprimanded "And I'll blackmail every student and teacher in this school to keep it that way!"

As the bullies opened the door, outside were a bunch of police cars. Priscilla, Principal King, my Dad, Hiro, Tadashi, Baymax, the rest of the gang and the other students were all looking at us.

In shock Plum and I were dropped onto the concrete. But luckily my Dad and GoGo were there to set us free.

"There they are." Hiro said pointing at them.

Priscilla did her famous smirk and said to the crowd. "I don't know about the rest of you all, but I spotted several big mistakes. Let's go back and watch my favorite part again, shall we?"

Little did she know we set up hidden cameras around the school and we connected the footage to Baymax.

On his stomach he played video on his stomach. He showed the kidnaping, but there wasn't any audio coming out of the screen, but don't worry we had a backup plan.

Before Priscilla could do anything. Mrs. Simcox tighted her grip around her daughter's arm and I heard her whispering: "I turned the whole school against you once, I can do it again. It's my word against yours!"

Now that I was out from the ropes I walked over to them. "Ooh, actually..."

The Plum stepped forward and she pushed a button on her collar and we heard Mrs. Simcox's voice over "...And I'll blackmail every teacher and student in this school to keep it that way!"

"It's YOUR word against yours." Then GoGo's lips curled into a smirk and said "We got it Yakkity Yak, you laid it out all beautifully."

"It's called a hustle, sweetheart." Plum said sarcastically.

Finally the cops came over and said "Mrs. Simcox you are under arrest for child abuse, and the aggravated assault on a minor." Then they placed handcuffs on her wrist.

I turned around and I noticed that the bullies were put in handcuffs too.

Principal King walked over to them with a disgusted look on his face and said "And as for you five, you all have been held back."

"Held back?!" Tackle asked.

"You all have to take Senior Year all over again."

"WHAT?!" They said shocked.

"But sir-" Raven Haired Girl pleaded, but Principal King's face remained unchanged "I'll see you guys in September."

The police started pushing the five of them into cop cars, but I managed to catch up to them.

"Why did you guys do it?" I asked.

"She made us an offer we couldn't refuse." Running Back replied "Money!"

Then I turned around and I saw Mrs. Simcox trying to fight of a police officer to get away.

"Priscilla, I can't believe you!" She screamed enraged. Then she started gesturing to me and the gang "You're choosing these...these...these confused, insignificant lowlifes? Socializing with their kind is not how you move up in San Fransokyo!"

Immediately Honey and Tadashi wrapped their arms around me. Hiro, Wasabi, Fred, and GoGo started rolling up their sleeves ready for a fight, even Plum looked like she was about to claw her. But my Dad held them back and he was about to say something to Mrs. Simcox, but then Priscilla decided to finally say something

"No mother!"

"Excuse me?!" Mrs. Simcox asked surprised.

"You've spent your life acting like a high horse and raised me to follow in your footprints! At first I thought this was fine, but then I finally realized I wanted something you don't have..." She stated "Friends!"

We all gasped at what we heard.

"That's enough, Priscilla!" Mrs. Simcox reprimanded "Step away from those bozos!"

"Bozos? They are Big Hero 8, and they are my friends! You need to stop calling them such mean and hurtful names!" She told her.

"Everyone will still treat you as an outcast!" Mrs. Simcox said trying to fight back "Everyone will still blame you, and they'll all still call me the good guy!"

"I don't think so. Everyone knows the truth! They can all see who the true good guys are." Priscilla responded "And let me tell you something: A mother is supposed to love, care for, comfort, support, encourage, and protect her children. And you..are not...my mother! You never were!"

Then she turned to the other bullies "As for you guys, I can't believe I ever thought you were my friends. Real friends don't use others to gain popularity, nor do they abandon their friends when one of them needs them."

Finally they all were placed into a police car, but I could hear Mrs. Simcox voice as the car drove away saying "THIS ISN'T OVER! I'll BE BACK!"

I walked over to Priscilla who had a worried look on her face.

"Don't worry if she comes back, we'll be read for her." I told her. I turned to face the rest of the gang. "Right guys?"

"RIGHT!" The seven of them said in unison.


(A/N): Well this was kind of a filler chapter, but the next chapter is when Quinn and Plum visit Callaghan in jail.
