A/N: Hey!! I'm back!! I'm sorry for the lack of updates. I kind of forgot about this. I have the story finished. All I have to do now is type it. School is almost over which means less work, which means more time to update.

Best Friend

The next morning Kelly got dressed for her meeting and then went to get something to eat for breakfast.

"I like that outfit Kel," Juliette complimented.

"Thanks Jules."

"Why so dressed up?" Scott asked.

"The guy from the CPS is coming today for my meeting." she replied.

"Good luck." he said.

"Thanks."

"Kel it's time for you to go," Sophie said coming up from behind her.

"Ok," she said looking sadly at Ezra, who chose to ignore her.

"What happened between you and Ezra?" Sophie asked as they walked away from the table.

"We had a fight."

"About what?"

"Don't wanna talk about it."

"Ok. Well I'm sure he'll come around."

" I hope so," she said looking back at him.

Kelly walked into the office to see a camera set up and a man waiting for her.

"Hello," the man said.

"Hi," she said meekly.

"Kel do you want me to stay?" Peter asked.

"Yes please."

"Let's get started. Can you please state your name?" the man said. "Can you please state your name?"

"Kelly Bennedict."

"Ok Kelly. Now it says that you were raped."

"Yes."

"By who?"

"My brother's best friend Tom."

"Were you friends with him?"

"I wouldn't call us friends. I hung out with him and my brother a few times."

"Was your brother always present?"

"Yes."

"How long ago did this happen?"

"Umm like six months ago."

"Where did it happen?"

"My room."

"Was anyone else home when it happened?"

"Yeah my brother was having a party."

"Was your parents home?"

"No they were away for the weekend."

"Were you at the party at all?"

"No I was upstairs."

"What did he do to you?"

"What do you think he did to me?" Kelly said beginning to cry.

"I'm just trying to get the details."

"Is it ok if she doesn't go into details about that?" Peter interrupted.

"I supposed. Did you scream or tell him to leave."

"When I saw him coming into my room I told him to leave and then. he pushed me on the bed. Then I screamed."

"Did anybody hear you?"
"No the music was too loud."

"Ok Miss Bennedict that will be all. Thank you." he said standing up.

"Thank you."

"Thank you for coming," Peter said shaking his hand. "Kel before you leave I want to talk to you."

"Yeah," she said wiping her eyes.

"I'm proud of you. You've grown a lot since you've been here."

"Thanks Peter."

"You can go to class now. Can you tell Daisy to come see?"

"Yeah."

Kelly walked to her class.

"Peter needs to see you now Daisy." Daisy glared at her and pushed her way past her. Kelly took her seat next Kat.

"You wanted to see me Peter?" Daisy asked.

"Yes come on in."

"So what's this about?"

"Essay."

"Oh yeah. Here it is," she said handing him the paper.

"Thanks. Daisy, I've noticed that something is bothering you."

"Like what?"

"You tell me. How about yesterday's clothing and how at group you said you felt betrayed. Why do you feel that way?"

"Why don't you ask Ezra or Kelly?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing. Can I go now?"

"Yeah go back to class," he said frustrated.
