"...what makes you think that?" Sophie asked, angry and irritated.
"Sophie, just trust me."
"I'm finding that hard to do, considering you just beat up Kurt for no apparent reason."
"Sophie, I've never beat anyone up before. Thats a reason to trust me," Shelby said, opening the door to the dorm. She led Sophie inside.
Juliette was lying on her bed, Jet and Daisy washing her cuts on her back and putting disinfectant on them. They all loked up when Shelby and Sophie came in.
"Juliette, did you do this to yourself?" Sophie asked. Jet and Daisy moved and let Sophie sit. Juliette turned and looked up at Sophie and shook her head.
"Then what happened?"
Juliette didn't answer.
"Juliette, what happened?" Juliette still didn't answer. "I can't help you if I don't know what's wrong." Still no answer. "Juliette! Tell me whats wrong!" Sophie said, exploding with frustration. It was more than Juliette could take at that moment. She jumped up.
"You wouldn't understand!" she yelled. She ran into the bathroom and grabbed her soiled clothes, then ran out of the dorm.
"Look what you did! Why didn't you just give her some space?" Jet said angrily. She ran out and followed Juliette. Sophie sat on the bed, feeling hurt and defeated. It was unlike Juliette to yell like that, and she hadn't intended to make her feel bad. Juliette would probably clam up more than ever. She wouldn't be able to help Juliette if she never told her what was wrong. Also, she didn't think that Jet liked her. It would be hard for Sophie to help Jet if she didn't like her.

"Juliette, wait!" Jet called. Juliette didn't slow down. She ran to the fire, where Jet caught up with her.
"Juliette -" Jet began.
"Hold on." Juliette stepped up to the fire and threw her clothes in.
"He's horrible! He thinks he's so great! He's not! He's disgusting and gross! I hate him! He can go to hell! I hate him! I hate him!" Juliette yelled. Jet grabbed her around her waist and took her to the bench. Juliette was shaking.
"Shh, Jules, its okay," Jet said. She put her arm around Jules and tried to calm her down. They watched her clothes burn for a few minutes. "You know, I don't think Sophie was trying to be mean. She really cares about you."
"I know. But its so hard to say. I feel so embarrassed and dirty! What will she think of me after I tell her?"
"She won't think any different of you." "But how can I tell her? It was so hard to tell you and Shelby. And how will I tell Auggie? What will he think of me?"
"Don't worry about Auggie yet. Just take things one at a time...Oh, here comes Sophie."
Juliette looked up to see Sophie walking towards them. "Jet, what am I going to do? I really don't know if I can tell her!"
"I have an idea. Let me talk."
Sophie walked up tentatively and sat next to Juliette. She didn't want to push her, so she just waited for a few minutes. Finally, she spoke up: "Jules, I'm sorry if I was pushing you earlier. I'm worried about you. Can you tell me what's wrong? I'll ask you later if your not ready."
Juliette choked back a sob at Sophie's kind words.
"Jules, it'll be okay. Once Sophie and Peter find out what Kurt did, they'll send him away so fast it'll make your head spin. He'll never be able to hurt you or touch you or molest you again," Jet paused glancing at Sophie to see if she caught on. Juliette realized what Jet was doing. She was talking to Sophie through her. Sophie hadn't quite caught on, though.
"What did he do to you, Jules?" Sophie asked, worriedly.
"I know you feel dirty and ashamed and embarrassed, but I told you there's nothing to feel ashamed about," she glanced again at Sophie, who looked like she almost got it, but no quite. "He is the one who feel ashamed, Jules! I mean, he raped you. You never did anything to him!"
Sophie got it, and hugged Juliette. "Oh, Jules, I'm so sorry! I should have seen it coming! I didn't think he would try anything here. I saw how he looked at you and always wanted to be near you, but I just thought that he liked you. God, Jules, I'm so sorry!" Sophie was very close to tears. "You'll have to take a pregnancy test and tell Peter, but we can wait until tomorrow for that. You must have had a hard day. Go on back to your dorm and rest. I need to talk to Jet right now."
"No!" Juliette burst. "I mean, I can't go back alone. I'm too scared. Can you just talk to her tomorrow? Please?"
"Sure. Both of you stay in the dorm tomorrow morning and I'll come get you." Sophie hugged Juliette one more time, and tried to hug Jet, but Jet ducked out of the way. She was still not too comfortable with Sophie and wasn't exactly happy she pushed Jules over her limit. She nodded.
"We'll see you tomorrow." Jet took Jules' arm and led her towards the dorms.


I know this wasn't very good, but it was kind of a hard to write this chapter. Please review. Coming soon - Juliette takes a pregnancy test, learns about Shelby beating up Kurt, and has an encounter with Kurt.
