Mal's Point of View

The next morning, Mal awoke to a knock on her door. She went to open it and was surprised to see the Aurodon police. She knew they were coming, of course. It was just, she had no clue they would come quickly. On the Isle, there were police, but they were corrupt and they hardly ever came by when an incident was reported. There were two police officers standing outside, a man and a woman. The man had a standoffish look on his face, while the female officer held a soft smile.

"Is your name Evie?" one of the female officers questioned. "We are here about an incident that was reported yesterday."

"No, she's asleep right now, but give me about five minutes and I'll wake her up and we'll both get dressed."

"Okay," the officer responded.

At this, Mal closed the door and went to wake Evie up.

"Hmm?" Evie mumbled.

"It's time to get up and get dressed, sweetie, the police are here.

"Mkay," Evie responded sleepily as she slowly sat up.

"I'm gonna go brush my teeth and you can get dressed while I do that."

Evie's Point of View

Evie groggily got up and went to her drawer. She grabbed a pair of gray sweatpants and a gray t-shirt. She then grabbed a bottle of water out of her and Mal's shared fridge and drank a couple of sips.

She was trying to calm herself down because she felt as if she was on the verge of a panic attack. In order to get justice, she knew she had to tell the cops, but she was scared. She had never had a good experience with the police.

Not even 2 minutes later, Mal came out of the bathroom, and asked, "You ready?"

"As ready as I'll ever be."

The two went to open the door and welcomed the officers into their room.

"My name's Stella Nicole Dodgers. And this is my partner, Detective Harry Watson."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Mal, and this is Evie," responded Mal as Evie just nodded.

The female officer looked at Mal and said, "Do you mind talking to my partner while I talk to Evie alone?"

Mal looked shocked but looked Evie in the eyes as if to ask if she would be okay. Evie nodded in response.

While Mal went to talk to the other detective, Evie looked at Detective Stella with sad eyes.

"Sweetie, I need to ask you a few questions. Is that okay?"

Evie nodded.

"Can you tell me exactly what happened?"

Evie explained every detail of her experience just as she had to Mal and the others the day before.

The detective nodded and said, "Do you have any of the clothes you were wearing or any of the sheets or anything like that?"

"Well, it happened in D-d-doug's room. B-ben recorded it." Evie looked at the detective sadly, "I threw my clothes in the laundry right after it happened and t-t-took a shower right after I got back to the dorm..I'm sorry."

"Sweetheart," Stella replied as she patted Evie's knee, "You have nothing to be sorry for. You did absolutely nothing wrong."

"There's something else," Evie looked at the detective with big, sad eyes, "Doug came in here and beat me pretty good yesterday," She lifted her shirt and showed her the bruises on her stomach, arm, and neck."

"That's awful, I'm so sorry that happened," the detective responded.

"Will I ever have to see them again?" questioned Evie.

"We are doing everything we can to make sure you never have to see them again."

"Will I have to go to court?"

"As of right now, we don't know."

Evie solemnly nodded and gave the detective a sad smile.

Mal's Point of View

Mal went out to the hallway with the other detective.

Detective Harry asked her "When did she tell you about this incident?"

"Well, she first told me the other night and then yesterday, she detailed that horrific experience to Jay, Carlos, and I. We're all really close."

The detective nodded and said, "Have you noticed any changes in her behaviors over the past month?"

"Actually, yea. Before she even told me about what happened, she was constantly going on runs, which is shocking because she has never cared for exercising. She's also been engaging in self-destructive behaviors." Mal responded, "DAMN IT! I should have seen this coming. I should've known something was seriously wrong."

"Mal," the detective said, "You couldn't have known, okay? All you can do is look out for your friend, okay?"

Mal nodded in response, and not even a minute later the other detective was heading out of their room.

Mal went in their room as soon as the detectives left and saw that Evie had a distant look in her eyes. She went to sit next to the blue haired girl.

"Evie, are you okay, sweetie?"

Evie just sat there solemnly with a dead look in her eyes.

Mal squeezed her hand and kissed her cheek as if to let her know everything would be alright.

Evie's Point of View

She heard Mal ask if she was okay, and she felt her kiss her cheek. That was Mal's way of communicating everything would be alright. Evie wasn't sure.

"Mal?" Evie asked.

"Yea sweetie?"

"I don't think I'm gonna go to classes today either. I don't feel well."

Mal felt her head and said, "You don't feel warm, but given everything that's happened, it's understandable. I'll explain to our teachers why you didn't make it." Mal then looked at her watch and exclaimed, "Oh shit, speaking of which, I have got to go or I'm gonna be late."

Evie just nodded and felt Mal hug her. After Mal headed to her classes for the day, she just lay down in her bed under all her covers. She wanted nothing more than to be okay, but she wondered if that was even possible for a broken girl like her.
