"So where are you going?" Lu and Lana were packing up Andy's things, allowing her to rest.
"The girls and I are going to stay with my parents for a couple of days."
Andy had been in the hospital overnight and was finally well enough to leave.
After her statement to the police, they had gone out searching for Les to question him at the very least. Their efforts, unfortunately, produced no results. It was almost as if Les had vanished. If Andy's case wasn't strong enough already, this really made Les look guilty, if not of rape, at least of being a deadbeat father and husband who skipped town.
The officers had told Andy that in situations like this, the guy was usually gone forever, but that she should still be careful. They advised her to seek shelter elsewhere until everything was clear.
Andy had told her parents everything that happened with Les, even him raping her, over the phone. Her mother was crying throughout her whole story. Her father didn't say a word, but she could almost see the tears he dared not shed for his daughter and his anger towards Les, his son-in-law.
Andy had her parents prepare the girls for her arrival and condition, but Andy decided she'd tell them everything face to face. She didn't want to, but she saw no way around it.
"You ready for this?" Lu pushed a wheelchair up next to Andy's bed.
"As ready as I'll ever be."
This is kind of short, but it's more or less just to speed things up a little. I know it's rushed, but I didn't want to dwell on the reactions of other people because this is just about Andy.
