A/N: Here's chapter 16! I can't believe it's lasted so many chapters already. Also thanks to user: sethsduck for knocking some sense into me and making me realize that Sean and Ellie should be furious at Lindsay and not feel sorry for her and forgive her.
"Sean look at her newest entry!" Ellie exclaimed.
This is what it said:
Dear Diary,
Shit. What have I gotten myself into? Maybe if I had just kept hanging out with Brianne, Cassie, Andrew, and Mike none of this would have happened. They seemed so nice, but maybe Fred is the only bad one. Maybe his friends have no clue what he's doing. I'm sure Sam would kill him if he found out what Fred did to me. I wonder if he's done that to other girls. He could have at least paid me after. Lol. Oh my god this is no time for jokes!! Stacey just gave me this huge lecture that got me feeling really guilty a few minutes ago. She looked up to me and I totally let her down. I really don't think she'll ever be able to trust me again...not after what I did to her and Mary. That was so wrong. If I could turn back time I wouldn't have said those things. I also wouldn't have accepted money for sex and hung out with what some may call "druggies". I would give up anything for my old life back. I wish Alexia was here, she would so help me out.
Now I feel dirtier. This might sound super hypocritical and really stupid but does getting raped by a guy I thought was my friend make me any better? No I didn't think so. I'm so tired! I need sleep!! Bye, I'll write more tomorrow........................
"What has gotten into our daughter?" Sean asked after he read the diary entry.
"I don't know but we're having a talk with her, now" Ellie said angrily before she and Sean walked into the hospital room.
"Lindsay Marie Cameron! What has gotten into you!. Is there some stuff you didn't tell us?" Ellie interrogated as soon as they entered the room.
"Don't say your sorry. That's not going to get you anywhere" Sean added angrily.
"Can we talk about this later?" Lindsay begged.
"No! We are talking about it now! I want to know everything!!" Ellie shouted.
"Why are the two of you being like this. I have a big cut in my arm and I'm sore all over"
"Well you should have thought of that before you got involved in dangerous stuff. That's right, we read your diary!" Sean said angrily.
"That's my personal privacy!" Lindsay said loudly.
"Not anymore" Ellie said glaring at her.
"I'm sorry. For everything. Believe me I am! I learned my lesson. They came and punched me. I don't want to talk to them ever again! Forgive me!" Lindsay pleaded trying not to cry.
"Whoa- who came and punched you?" Ellie asked, changing from furious to concerned.
"Vicky, Sam, and Fred. Oh and if you read my diary you must have also read that I was raped, but I guess you don't care because you probably think I deserve it! Maybe I do" Lindsay explained, sobbing.
"We don't think you deserve to be raped because no one does. We just are extremely disappointed in you. We expected better from you" Ellie said sitting on Lindsay's bed.
"What did you say to Stacy?" Sean asked.
"I don't feel like talking about it" Lindsay said guiltily.
"We don't care. Now, tell us" Sean demanded.
"Well they figured out she was a lesbian. They- we went up to her, Mary, Melissa, and Nicole during lunch and um, we said some pretty mean stuff to them regarding their, um sexual preference" Lindsay explained barely audible.
"You did that to your own sister?!?!?!" Ellie exclaimed in shock
"You are in so much trouble" Sean scolded.
"You are going to apologize to her" Ellie added.
"Well I hope you had your fun with you so-called friends because that's the last time your going to have a social life while your living in our house!" Sean exclaimed leaving the room.
"I really am sorry mom" Lindsay said sadly.
"I know but it's going to take a lot more than just being sorry before you have our trust" Ellie responded before walking out the door.
"Hey Lindsay" Andrew greeted as he walked into the room with Mike, Cassie, and Brianne.
"Hi. Thanks for finding me. It means a lot to me that you didn't just leave me there after everything I did to you" Lindsay said.
"It was no problem. I was so scared when I saw you bleeding" Cassie said.
"Me too" Brianne agreed.
"So what did the doctors say?" Andrew asked.
"They bandaged the cut. My stomach really really hurts. Vicky or Sam punched me like three or four times hard in the same place"
"I'm sorry" Cassie commented.
"Why'd they do it?" Andrew asked.
"Fred didn't want me to tell anyone that he raped me last night"
"He raped you? I am so sorry" Cassie said hugging Lindsay, Brianne also hugged her.
"That fucking ass-hole. He'll pay" Andrew whispered.
"What did you say?" Lindsay asked because she hadn't heard him.
"Uh, nothing. I'm really sorry for what he did to you"
"Thanks. I should be sorry. What I said and did to all of you was so wrong. I don't know what got into me but I really am sorry and I want to turn my life around. I did a lot of bad things that hurt other people and I'm very sorry to everyone I hurt especially all of you. I mean you could have left me there on the floor but you didn't. That takes a lot of strength to help someone who has completely ignored you the past few months"
"That's what friends are for" Brianne sad smiling.
" Um, do you guys still think about Alexia?" Lindsay asked.
"Oh Yeah" Cassie replied.
"Like almost everyday" Brianne added.
"Of course" Mike added.
"She's a hard person to forget" Andrew responded laughing.
"I miss her so much. Sometimes I wonder what she would do if she were alive and knew what I was doing" Lindsay whispered.
"She'd be mad and of course worried. She would probably force you too stop" Cassie suggested.
"Then you'd probably come crying to me" Andrew added.
"Did I really used to complain to you so much?" Lindsay asked smiling.
"All the time" Andrew answered.
"What time is it?" Brianne asked.
"About 2:00"
"Oh My mom should be here to pick us up now" Brianne said to Cassie and Mike.
Brianne, Cassie, and Mike left the room, leaving Andrew and Lindsay alone in the room. They both looked at each other uncomfortably. They sat in an awkward silence for a few minutes not sure what to say.
"At least my grades are still good" Lindsay commented out of nowhere.
"Where did that come from?" Andrew asked laughing.
"I was just thinking about how in the midst of everything I was still able to keep my grades above a 2.0 GPA, considering I used to have above a 4.0"
"Well if you need any help with your homework I'll help you after school or something"
"My dad said I can't have a social life anymore"
"Why not?"
"Why do you think?"
"I'm sorry"
"Don't be. I should be, I should always be"
"That's not true" Andrew replied.
"I let them be really mean to my own sister and I totally let her down. My parents made it clear that they are madder than ever at me" Lindsay explained.
"Yeah Stacey told me what you said to her. She said she would forgive you but it's going to take awhile."
"I don't deserve it"
"Sure you do. Everyone deserves to be forgiven"
"Maybe, but definitely not me" Lindsay said shaking her head.
"It's about 2:30. My mom should be waiting for me outside but I'll come back and talk to you after school" Andrew said giving her a hug.
"Maybe my life won't be so bad after all" Lindsay whispered after he left the room.
