Ch. 8 Repercussions

"Get off of me!" Rick growled as Peter struggled to keep him down.

"Andy said that and you didn't listen to her!" He shoved Rick down, immobilizing him for a few seconds.

"Police! Stand up with your arms in the air!" Peter pushed himself off of the doctor and did as he was told. Before Rick could even get to his knees he was swarmed by a couple police officers. One cuffed him while the other read him his rights.

As he was being led outside, he saw Lu and Andy. Lu had her arms over Andy's shoulders. They had both been crying.

Rick smirked at them, happy that his few moments had brought two women to ruins.

Just being yards away from Rick terrified Andy, but she wouldn't let him know that.

Then he smiled at her, proud of what he had done, or at least, what he was going to do. Andy put a hand over her mouth. She was going to be sick.

She broke out of Lu's grasp and ran to the nearest restroom. Lu was too busy trying to kill Rick with her glare to notice Andy was gone. Lana noticed though, and followed her.

Once Lana heard what Andy was doing, she decided to give her some privacy.

I'm sure I'm just a sight, Andy thought to herself as she lifted her head up from the porcelain bowl.

She had a point. Leaning over a toilet with a tear-stained face and her clothes messed up, she wasn't at her best.

She heard the faint noise of cars driving away and realized that Rick was gone. Slowly, she lifted her herself up from the floor. Since her legs wanted to give way beneath her, she groped along the stall walls for support. Just as she was about to swing open the restroom door, a voice called to her.

"Hon? Are you okay?" Lana's concerned voice drifted through the wooden door. In her same slow fashion, Andy walked outside and shook her head.

"Let's get you home." Lana took off her jacket and threw it over Andy's shoulder's. Andy looked up and gave Lana a look of gratitude. Lana embraced Andy in a bear hug. Once they broke apart, Andy put her head on Lana's shoulder as she led her out of Rittenhouse.

I know, it's short. The next chapter is up though.
