Chapter 59

Lauren: "Okay you guys. Thanks for helping me with this campaign. I appreciate it."

Emma: "We're here for you Lauren."

Evelynn: "Actually I was dragged here."

Emma: (nudges her)

Evelynn: "Ow! I'm kidding."

Lily: "So what do we do?"

Lauren: "Uh…well…. You can pass out flyers to the wizards and witches."

Emma: "What can me and Evelynn do"

Lauren: "Well you can check out the competition. My other competitor. Tabitha Axford."

Emma: "Tabitha?"

Lauren: "Yeah. Witch. 7th grader."

Marnie: "I heard of her. Her parents are very high and mighty loaded Witch and Wizard."

Mitch: "What can I do?"

Lauren: "I just want you here. Maybe you can help me. The rest of you just fall out."

Emma: "We won't let you down Lauren."

Lauren: "Yeah yeah. Get out."

Emma: "Come on Sis."

Evelynn: "Uh..yeah…."

Mitch: "….."

Lauren: "Forget about them. Let's just talk. I was thinking about the kiss."

Mitch: "Yeah about that. I think it would be best if I….we….didn't do that again."

Lauren: "Oh….Yeah… Cause I want to tell you something. But it's hard to say. It's about me and you."

Mitch: "?!"

Lauren: "I really want to win this thing."

Mitch: "Then do it. Focus on that for the time being. I'll be right there with you."

Lauren: (blushes) "Thanks."

Mitch: "Anything for you friend."

Lauren: Maybe when this is over, we can be more than friends..

Emma: "Are you seeing this Sis?"

Evelynn: "Hmm?"

Emma: "Focus. It's her."

Evelynn: "I'm more looking at the attention we got on ourselves actually."

Boy: "What are little kids doing up here?"

Girl: "Oh my God do you know who they are?"

Girl #2: "Those are the Headmaster's daughters, the twins."

Evelynn: "We're 11 years old, a year younger than these yahoos, and we're more popular than them?"

Emma: "Oh my. They're just staring at us."

Evelynn: "Well enough of this BS. HEY!"

7th graders: (backed away) "?!"

Emma: "Excuse my sister. We would like to speak to Tabitha."

Tabitha: "Yes. Can I help you?"

Evelynn: "This is the broad that Lauren is running against?"

Emma: (nervous laughing, covers Evelynn's mouth)

Tabitha: "Lauren O'Kanna? Oh. You must be her little Mage friends."

Girl: "They're Headmaster Ainsworth's daughters."

Boy: "Yeah. Don't you see that?"

Tabitha: "I don't see much."

Evelynn: "She just insulted us…"

Emma: "Be calm Evelynn."

Tabitha: "That loser think she can get more votes than me? She's not even a real Witch. She's a Crossbreed mongrel."

Emma: "How dare you!"

Evelynn: "I got this Big Sis. Listen here you prissy stuck up fake trampy wannabe."

Tabitha: "Excuse me!"

7th graders: "OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH!"

Evelynn: "No one talks about Lauren like that. I don't know what you said but it was very insulting! You don't mess with Lauren."

Emma: "Way to go Sis!"

Evelynn: "I mess with Lauren!"

Emma: "Way to go Sis…."

Tabitha: "What is insulting is that I really can't see much. How old are you too? 7?"

Evelynn: "SEVEN?! We just turned 11!"

Tabitha: "You don't look it." (puts fingers down their spine)

Emma: "EEEEEEEKKKKKK!"

Evelynn: "HEY?! WHAT THE HELL?!"

Tabitha: "They don't even have bras! You're still babies!"

Th graders: (LAUGHING)

Emma and Evelynn have never felt so embarrassed in their lives. Older kids were laughing at them.

Evelynn: "We do have bras!"

Tabitha: "Oh yeah? Where are they?"

Evelynn: "The….DRY CLEANERS!"

Tabitha: "Bras don't go to the dry cleaners!" (laughing)

Emma: "Even I know that…"

Evelynn: "Shut up! Let's just go.."

Tabitha: "Oh and tell your mongrel friend that she should just back out now because she's not a REAL WITCH!"

Evelynn: "Please please please please please PLEASE let me hate her."

Emma: "That won't be necessary. Cause I HATE her too."

Evelynn: "Alright Sis! If Lauren doesn't crush her, I will! In fact, give me a few minutes. I'll pull that hair out."

Emma: (grabs her robe) "No."

Evelynn: "Come on! We were on the same page."

Emma: "7th grade is horrendous..."

Evelynn: "We got one year. It might be so bad."

Emma: "True. Hopefully. We will have grown by then…."

Evelynn: "Yeah…."

Elias became busy in his office looking over paperwork. His mind began to wonder about what to do now that the twins are 11.

Elias: "I need to update their passports. Blake will need one as well. It's better he's with his brother and sisters."

Secretary: "Headmaster?"

Elias: "If the World of Dragons isn't safe, Lindel will probably take them to her…She would definitely protect them from harm."

Secretary: "Headmaster?"

Elias: (loses thought) "Huh?! Oh I'm sorry. What is it?"

Secretary: "Your wife wishes to speak to you."

Elias: "Of course. Please send her in."

Chise: "Hey. You okay?"

Elias: "I had a lot on my mind. What with our children and the prophecy and whatnot."

Chise: "Only one more year. Now do we panic?"

Elias: (chuckles) "Never."

Chise: "We pulled this off for 4 years. We have to tell them eventually. I know we're keeping them out of this but it's not fair leaving them in the dark about something this big. I feel guilty.."

Elias: "So do I. I agree completely. So what do we do?"

Chise: "In some way we do tell but we also tell them that they will be doing no such thing. They are living with Lindel until this is dealt with."

Elias: "What about Mitch?"

Chise: "What about him?"

Elias: "I am his Guardian. He lives with us and he is family now and we know how he feels about Evelynn. He'll go wherever she goes. We want him to be safe also. But I think it would be better if he stays at his loft."

Chise: "Or."

Elias: "Or?"

Chise: "You are really going to hate what I say.. But what if Mitch lived with his father? Lucifer should take him."

Elias: "NO."

Chise: "I knew you were going to say that.. I know how you feel about Mitch. And I REALLY know how you feel about Lucifer."

Elias: "Just because he is starting a relationship with his father doesn't mean that I completely trust him. His mother Chise."

Chise: "I know.."

Elias: "It would be better than living with him. If he goes with him, he'll never come back. That would hurt Evelynn deeply."

Chise: "Yeah. I know. Those two are always together. They're a team like you and me. I know you care for him babe and it hurts me to admit this to you. Even as your duty to protect him, you're not his father…. I'm sorry. It hurts saying that. He's creepy but Lucifer is his only living parent. Devil or no, he wouldn't harm his only son."

Elias: "You make a virtuous point."

Secretary: "Headmaster."

Elias: "Yes?"

Secretary: "Your daughters are here to see you."

Elias: "Oh! Send them in."

Chise: "I wonder what's wrong?"

Emma and Evelynn burst through and jumped at their parents with shameful tears.

Chise: "Hey!"

Elias: "What's wrong sweeties?"

Emma: "How mean are 7th graders?!"

Evelynn: "THEY CALLED US BABIES!"

Emma: "How horrible.."

Chise: "What is going on?"

Emma: "Lauren wanted us to look at her competitor and she's a mean Witch!"

Evelynn: "Literally!"

Emma: "Saying Lauren is not a real Witch because she Half-Witch! I oughta knock her out!"

Elias: "Emma!"

Emma: "I know! Evelynn should be saying something like that! But I am really peeved!"

Chise: "Why did she think you were babies?"

Evelynn: "It's embarrassing…"

Emma: "Can we ask you something?"

Elias: "Of course."

Chise: "You can ask us anything."

Emma: "When can we have our own bras?"

That just shocked them. Elias was completely and literally thrown back. He fell out back on his chair. The redheads watched him as he fell with a thud.

Emma: "Dad?!"

Chise: "Honey?!"

Evelynn: "You okay Pops?"

Chise: "Honey. They are 11."

Elias: (grumbles, bangs head on desk) "My precious babies…"

Chise: (rubs his hair) "Not your real head."

Emma and Evelynn: "?"

Elias: "Stop growing up this instant!"

Evelynn: "Dad. We're not babies anymore."

Elias: (STAB)

Emma: "We're growing up. I mean we sorta are. We're not kids anymore and we're not teenagers yet. I think it's time we had some bras."

Elias: (STAB) "Chise….they're breaking my heart."

Chise: "I know babe. I know."

Evelynn: "We're running out of time finding those girls from the legends though. We need a clue to figure out who they are."

Emma: "If we can just find the turtle and his egg, that would be so good."

Elias: "Girls. There's something we need to tell you.."

Chise: "Yeah."

Emma: "What is it?"

Elias: "I…..We…."

Evelynn: "We can take it Dad."

Elias: "Uh….we would be happy to take you to get your first bra."

Chise: "MHM!"

Emma and Evelynn: "Uh…okay?"

Throughout the week, the twins along with Lily, Marnie, and Mitch helped Lauren with her campaign. The twins and Mitch started passing out buttons. When a few wouldn't take them because they were voting for Tabitha, well….let's just say that Evelynn threatened to abolish them if they didn't vote for Lauren. It took Mitch with all his strength to hold her down.

When they got home, Mitch stopped by feeling like the twins. Exhausted.

Emma: "It's hard to hand out buttons without SOMEONE getting her buttons pushed."

Mitch: "True."

Evelynn: "HEY! I'm over here!"

Emma and Mitch: "WE KNOW!"

Emma: "Are you sure she can win this?"

Evelynn: "Yeah I mean Tabitha got the whole middle school and jr. high buildings wrapped around that twisted finger of hers.."

Mitch: "She can do it."

Evelynn: "How do you know?"

Mitch: "I have known Lauren since we were toddlers. I know she wants this just like she wants a lot of things. She sees it, she take the opportunity to get it no matter what. She won't let anything stop her from having what she wants."

Emma: "I see." (looks at Mitch)

Elias: "Knock knock."

Chise: "Hi."

Evelynn: "Hi guys."

Chise: "How's the election going."

Emma: "We're sure she'll win."

Elias: "Girls. Are you sure you two want some br-?!"

Evelynn: (covers his mouth) "DAD! Not in front of the boy."

Mitch: "?"

Chise: "But it bother you that you were called babies because you're fla-"

Emma: "MOM! Please it's too embarrassing."

Mitch: "That reminds me. On the way home, that girl that Lauren is running against called you two babies and they were pointing in this area." (points at his chest) "Why? What's up with-"

Evelynn: "Shut up! Don't say another word!"

Mitch: "Lynn what's wron-" (thinking) Wait a minute… Chest area….. being called babies by 7th graders….. No way…. "Emma. Lynn. Is it because you two are….."

Emma: "No no no no no no!"

Chise: "Please don't say it Mitch…"

Mitch: "Is it because your FLAT-CHESTED?"

Let's just say to the girls who are uncomfortable with their chest like that, that word is very offensive. And to the Ainsworth twins, that stabbed them right…..well you know. In the chest.

Evelynn: "SHUT YOUR STUPID FACE YOU STUPID HALF-DEMON DUMMY!"

POW!

Bren: "Hey. You're home. How's school?"

Mitch: "It was okay."

Bren: "Uh…Mitch? What happened to your eye?"

Mitch: "Ah you know. Lynn. Same old, same old. It'll heal in the morning."

Bren: "I hope so."

Mitch: "She's amazing isn't she?"

Bren: "How is it to be amazed by a girl that you love when she violently attacks you." (puts ice on his eye)

Mitch: "I just didn't think that she would be sensitive to anything like that. I didn't think it would bother her. So she has a flat chest. So what? Ow!"

Bren: "Hold still. You clearly don't know girls little brother."

Mitch: "And you do? You're a teenager. Well you have the body of a teen. Wait. How old are you anyway?"

Bren: "118."

Mitch: "Well looking good."

Bren: "Thank you. Now please listen to your wise adoptive sister. It's all about these puppies. When a girl develops these, the guys go nuts for them. The twins are still in development. Meaning they got time before theirs come in. But when they do, all guys will be going gaga over them."

Mitch: "I don't really care about that.. How she looks is fine to me."

Bren: "You are too dense in some areas. I'm embarrassed for you."

Mitch: "Yeah, yeah."

Bren: "So….what about Lauren?"

Mitch: "What about her?"

Bren: "I know she kissed you after the dance."

Mitch: "And?"

Bren: "And I know you didn't tell Lynnie about it."

Mitch: "And?"

Bren: "AND! And what are you going to do? I know you really love Lynnie. So what will you do about Lauren? You can't keep leading her on. It's so not right. You need to let her down gently."

Mitch: "Yeah. You're right."

Spring had arrived at the school. With elections around the corner, the kids were more determine than ever to get everyone to vote for Lauren. With every attempt, Lauren tries to get herself more closer to Mitch. She is crushing on him badly. Sure yes that is his best friend since ever but he doesn't want to send her the wrong message. Lauren has been wanting to say something to him forever but part of her can't get the words out. One day, Lauren went by the classroom where they hang out with the others and saw Mitch was marking an X on the calendar. In fact there were plenty of X's. He had been counting down to the election which is in a couple of weeks. It really touched her heart when he did that.

One evening on his way home with groceries in his hands for hearty beef stew, Mitch saw Lauren sitting on the steps outside looking at the stars.

Mitch: "Hey."

Lauren: (blushes) "Hey! What are you doing out here?"

Mitch: "I could be asking you that. I went grocery shopping."

Lauren: "Emma sure has taught you a lot of stuff."

Mitch: "Yeah. I'm not eating grilled cheese all the time anymore."

Lauren: "I loved when your mom made us grilled cheese every time we had a play date."

Mitch: "Yeah…"

Lauren: "I'm sorry. Touchy subject… only a few months until it's almost a year. Oh! Shoot! Sorry! I should stop talking…"

Mitch: (laughs)

Lauren: (giggling)

Mitch: "Still know how to make me laugh."

Lauren: "Yeah. And you have always been there for me."

Mitch: "Yeah I have."

Lauren: "Remember when we were turning 4? Two big kids were picking on me and messing up my sand castle?"

Mitch: "Oh yeah… Asses…."

6 years ago…..

Little Lauren: "Give it back!"

Big Kid: "Make me shrimpy!"

Big Kid#2: "She's gonna cry! WAH! WAH!"

Little Lauren: "No I won't…." (tears)

Big Kids: "WAH! WAH! WAH!"

?: "HEY!"

A little boy with dark brown hair and blue eyes ran as quick as he could. He had a hat on his head and a bandage on his cheek. He got between Lauren and the bullies.

Little Mitch: "LEAVE HER ALONE YOU BULLIES!"

Little Lauren: "Mitchy.."

Little Mitch: (kicks sand at them)

Big Kid: "AH! My eyes!"

Big Kid#2: "Let's get out of here!"

Little Mitch: "You okay Lauren?"

Little Lauren: (hugs him) "You saved me Mitch!"

Present day….

Mitch: "That was literally nothing."

Lauren: "It was everything to me." (blushes)

Mitch: (half smiles) "Listen Lauren.."

Lauren: "Mitch. I want to tell you something. Something I've been holding in for the longest time. But I'm afraid of how it will sound. I can't make out the words. That's why if I win…"

Mitch: "WHEN you win,"

Lauren: (laughs) "When I win, I want to tell you."

Mitch: "Don't worry about that now. Later."

Lauren: "Thanks. So do me this favor. When I win, I want you to hear me out. Okay?"

Mitch: "I will absolutely have an open mind."

Lauren: (smiles deeply) "See you tomorrow."

The results are finally in. A lot of the middle school and junior high were looking on the bulletin board to see who won. The twins, Lauren, Mitch and the others were way in the back.

Lauren: "Can you see anything?"

Mitch: "No. Emma?"

Emma: "It's too crowded.."

Marnie: "I swear these upperclassmen are the worst."

Evelynn: "I'm going in guys."

Lily: "Wait! Evelynn!"

Evelynn did her best to scooch in till she was at the front of the crowd. When she looked at the board, she got surprised. She then back up and like that she fell on her back with the friends looking at her."

Evelynn: "Ouch.. I fell…"

Emma: "What did you see?"

Evelynn: "Oh yeah! (grabs Lauren) Come on!"

Lauren: "Let me go you idiot!"

Evelynn: "Shut up and get over here."

The crowd then got pushed aside by Tabitha and her girls. When she got through she saw Lauren with the same surprised Evelynn had.

Tabitha: "Heh. Sorry mongrel. Maybe when you're a bit older, you can run for counsil. Now I know I probably won but let me look and see my name so I can remember this moment. (looks at the board) WHAT?!"

Lauren: "…I won…"

Emma, Lily, Henri: (SQUEALING)

Tabitha: "There must be a typo! That can't be right!"

Evelynn: "Believe it! It's right!"

Tabitha: "UGH!" (storms off)

Emma: "There doing a victory speech this afternoon!"

Lauren: "I have to do a speech?!"

Henri: "Yeah. Do you know what you're going to say?"

Lauren: "Actually yes." (looks at Mitch)

Mitch: "Told you she win."

Marnie: "Yeah, yeah."

Lauren: "I know exactly what to say."

Every student appeared in the gymnasium. Emma saw that Lauren was nervous so she helped her up the steps to the platform next to Elias.

Elias: "You alright?"

Lauren: "Yes sir."

Elias: "Well done Lauren."

Lauren: "Thank you Headmaster. Uh…"

(mic feedback)

Lauren: "Oops! Sorry. I'm a bit nervous. It was close that I won but I didn't do this alone. I couldn't have done it without my friends. They helped me make posters and buttons and stuff. I would like to thank Emma Ainsworth for helping me with the debate. Thanks Emma."

Emma; (waves)

Lauren: "But there is one person I would love to thank the most. Someone who has been by my side through all of this. It's because of him that I had the courage to step and run. I have known him since we were toddlers and as always he was right there. So…(deep breathe) okay.. Arthur Mitchell!"

Henri: "Oh no…"

Mitch: "Hmm?"

Evelynn: "What is she….?"

Lauren: "I'M IN LOVE WITH YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU!"

Everyone: "?!"

Evelynn: "?!"

Mitch: (shocked)

Lauren: "I've always loved you Mitch! Since the day we met! The reason I'm standing here is because I'm in love with you! I took the next step because of you. And now….and now…. I want me and you to take the next step TOGETHER! Please tell me your answer!"

Everyone in the building was silent. They were all waiting for Mitch to answer Lauren's confession. Elias saw how constricted this was making Mitch. Chise saw it too so she got a mic and heading to the stage.

Chise: "Wow. Okay that is all for today. Time to exit the gym in an orderly fashion. It's almost time to go home so head back to the classrooms. Have a good day everyone."

Everyone: "AW!"

Elias: "Dismiss. NOW."

Mitch was the first to leave out of there. Lauren saw this and left too. Emma saw them do this but what she really saw was Evelynn just standing there. Elias and Chise saw this too. Then just like that, Evelynn went out the door as quick as she could.

Elias: "Baby girl!"

Emma: "Wait! Sis!"

Chise: "Where is she going?"

Shiro: "To see if Mitch is okay."

Mitch went behind the building by himself. He couldn't believe that just happened. He then heard footsteps from behind. He knew who it was.

Mitch: "I gotta say. I didn't see that coming. You surprised me."

Lauren: "Yeah…"

Mitch: "Lauren listen…."

Lauren: "I love you.."

Mitch: "…"

Lauren: "Seeing you everyday makes me smile. Hearing you keeps me inspired. Before I knew my eyes were always on you. You're so amazing and kind. How could I not love you? We grew up together. We have history together. We….we had our very own first kiss."

Mitch: "…Lauren.."

Lauren: "When I kissed you, I felt happy. I felt something. Did you feel something? I like to know how you feel about me. How you ALWAYS felt about me. You can be honest with me.."

Mitch: "Lauren…..I like you…"

Lauren: (smiles) Mitch….I'm….I'm so happy-"

Mitch: "I like how you told me right there how you felt about me. I like how brave you are. You're incredible… I knew you would win hands down. You're the best."

Lauren then realized there was a but coming in… And she was right…..

Mitch: "I'm sorry. I…I don't feel that way about you…."

Lauren: "What….?"

Mitch: "I only like you as a friend. Beside I….."

Lauren: "No….don't say it…."

Mitch: "There's someone else that I am in love with."

Lauren started to feel her heart break into a million pieces. She started to breathe heavily. She torn her button off her shirt and just slammed it on the ground.

Lauren: "You're lying..."

Mitch: "I wish I was but-"

Lauren: "YOU'RE LYING! PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE NOT IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE! PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH ME!"

Mitch: (shook his head no) "I really am sorry…"

With that, Lauren just ran off with tears in her eyes. Mitch had his head down feeling a bit unhappy that he broke his best friend's heart.. Then just like that, someone else stepped out of the shadows to confront him.

Evelynn: "Hey. You look down."

Mitch: "Lynn! Uh….how much of that did you hear?"

Evelynn: "Eh…only some of it.. You okay?"

Mitch: "Yeah. I guess so."

Evelynn: "I didn't know you two kissed…"

Mitch: "?! Uh yeah. It was after the dance…"

Evelynn: "That was months ago… why you didn't tell me?"

Mitch: "Lynn.."

Evelynn: "You could've told me but chose not to. Why?"

Lauren: (sniffles) "I need to pick up that button. He's probably gone back to clas— No. He still there. Who's he….Evelynn?! (hides) What is she doing there?"

Evelynn: "Why didn't you tell me you kissed Lauren?"

Mitch: "She kissed me. She caught me by surprised actually. Lynn there was honestly nothing to tell because I felt nothing when we kissed."

Evelynn: "Really? Nothing? She kissed you and you felt absolutely nothing?"

Mitch: "Nothing at all."

Lauren: "….."

Evelynn: "No wonder she's upset."

Mitch: "I didn't want to hurt her but I had to be honest with her. I only like her as a friend and nothing else."

Evelynn: "I'm sure she'll find someone who will share the same interest as hers. You both will."

Mitch: "What?"

Evelynn: "Yeah think about it. You're obviously a catch."

Mitch: "You always know what to say."

Evelynn: "Duh goofball. Plenty of girls out there would chase after you."

Mitch: "Out there.. Right here.."

Evelynn: "What?"

Mitch: "Lynn."

Evelynn: "What's up?"

Mitch: "I don't want girls I don't like chasing after me. I'll do all that chasing stuff. I want to chase after the person I am in love with."

Evelynn: "So you do got someone."

Mitch: "I do.." (takes her hand)

Lauren: "?!"

Evelynn: "Mitch…"

Mitch: "I told Lauren that I was in love with someone else. (touches her cheek) Deep down, I believe she knows who it is too."

As Lauren watched Mitch put his forehead to Evelynn's, something happened to her. Something SNAPPEDon the inside of her body...

Evelynn: "Arthur.."

Mitch: "I also so believe deep down that the person I'm in love with, she knows that I love her too."

Evelynn was about to say something but a brutal force pushed her to the ground. Emma saw that it was Lauren that pushed Evelynn. She then went to them to break it up.

Evelynn: "What the hell is wrong with you?!"

Lauren: "Go away... GO AWAY! HE'S MINE! DO YOU HEAR ME?! YOU STAY AWAY FROM HIM!"

Mitch: "Lauren! What has gotten into you?!"

Lauren: "I kissed him you tick! I kissed him first!"

Emma: "You're wrong Lauren!"

Evelynn: "Sis?"

Mitch: "Emma."

Lauren: "Emma…"

Emma: "Mitch already had his first kiss."

Lauren: "With me. At the dance. I kissed him."

Emma: "No. You misinterpreted... Mitch already had his first kiss. And so did my sister.."

Lauren: "What…? No…"

Mitch: "It's true Lauren…I kissed Lynn."

Lauren: "No….(tears) No you didn't…."

Mitch: "It was when my mom died... last year.. I'm sorry…"

Lauren couldn't believe what she heard. She started to cry again then ran back the other way back into the building.

Emma: "I'm sorry Mitch.."

Mitch: "It's fine Emma. Lynn you okay? You didn't scrape your knee did you?"

Evelynn: "Geez.. What is with her? I'm not pregnant or anything…"

Emma and Mitch: "SAY WHAT?!"

Evelynn: "Sis. You were there. Dad said that kissing leads to pregnancy."

Mitch: "He said that?! I got you pregnant?!"

Evelynn: "No fool.. that's what Dad said."

Emma: "Well obviously he was wrong! God! I'm 11 years old and I know that is not how it happens!"

Evelynn: "Huh.. then how do you get pregnant?"

Emma: "I DON'T KNOW!"

Evelynn: "You're the smart one! How come you don't know that?!"

Emma: "I just don't!"

Mitch: "Don't scare me like that…You had me worried. Seriously though. Are you okay? Lauren was very upset when she pushed you."

Evelynn: "So?"

Mitch: "SO! I never seen her that angry before… I'm beginning to be worried…"

Evelynn: "You think that scared me? Please. I am not scared of Lauren O'Kanna."

The threesome weren't aware that Lauren heard all of that. Later that night, while Henri was asleep, Lauren stayed up. She looked at the picture of her, Emma, Evelynn, Mitch, and their other friends that graduated elementary school with them. She then looked closer and saw Mitch smiling with Evelynn as they were standing together.

Lauren: "Not afraid of me are you Evelynn Ainsworth….?"

She then took a pen and violently marked Evelynn's whole face along with other pictures that had her in them. Then there was one picture of her by herself. Lauren just kept scribbling and scribbling until the picture of Evelynn was torn. The head part of the photo was separate from her body.

Lauren: "I'll make you afraid….."
