Heather Duke and Veronica stood behind the 7/11 exchanging money when Jared walked behind it followed by Michael. The 4 exchanged an awkward look before Jared and Michael did their excange.

Both Veronica and Michael left quickly and Duke and Jared were left alone. Duke spoke "How's Jere?..." She half mumbled looking at the floor.

Jared spoke slightly more confidently "He's good, yea..." He cleared his throat. You could cut the tension with a knife. "He uh.. He misses you.. won't shut up about you.."

She looked up "R-Really!? Can you tell him to call me?..." Jared simply nodded and the two left.

Jared got back to Jeremy's. "Call Duke!" He shouted up to Jeremy "She got really upset last time.. You can be such a dick..."

Jeremy sighed "ugh... why do I have to?.. We broke up like.. 3 months ago!" He was eating pizza and playing Donkey Kong Country.

"Because you just left her without a word, Jeremy!! You don't fucking do that!" Jared scoffed "Call her by tomorrow or you can find another person to help with your redroom..."

Jeremy groaned "Okay.. I'll call her..." Jeremy got his phone and Jared left. He called Duke and sighed.

Duke had been waiting with her phone in hand for 20 minites "HE CALLED!!" She picked up right away. "Hey Jeremy!" The excitement in her voice was overbearing.

Jeremy winced at her shouting "Hey, D..." He sighed "How've ya been?" He asked not really giving her his full attention, it was apparent but she didn't care. She still loved him no matter how many people said he was abusive or manipulative.

She smiled. "I've been okay! Do you wanna meet up sometime? Hang out?.. please..." She sounded lonely. Her only friends were the Heathers and they werent really great friends. She was more an employee that hung out with them. Jeremy made her feel loved. Wanted, safe. No matter what he did to her.

He paused "sure... come over tomorrow, okay?..." He smirked lightly and layed back. "We'll watch a film.. or something..."

She was ecstatic "YAY! OKAY! I'LL BE OVER! I LOVE YOU!!!" She smiled and hung up running over to her closet to pick out some clothes.

Meanwhile, Chloe and Christine stood in a barn infront of two small girls, they were 16, slim and starved. They'd been in the barn 3 days with minimal food. Barely enough to survive. Chloe sighed. "Are we ready to comply or am I getting the whip again today?"

The smaller of the 2, Harley, had broken "y-yes ma'am..." She'd cried through the night from the pain. Her voice was shaky and she could barely sit on her knees.

"Good.. good... that'll make both of our next two weeks so much easier, sweetie..." She smiled softly and comfortingly at Harley before turning to the slightly taller of the two "and you?...' The taller girl, Ellie, looked up and spat on Chloe's shoe. Chloe let out a sigh "welp... My weeks gonna be fun anyway..."

Christine smiled and giggled "Ooooo... you made her maaad" She teased Ellie and turned to Harley. "Giving in was a good idea... I promise..." She hugged Harley and Harley hugged back tightly

"I wanna go home..." Harley said, crying her eyes out into the girls shoulder

"I know but... I'm sorry hon.. but.. I know your buyer... He's a really nice guy.. You'll be treated like a princess if you folloe his rules, okay?" Christine got an idea "how about.. I train you?.. I'm just as nice as your buyer... so.. you'll know what it's like.."

Harley nodded lightly "I-I'll follow every rule.. I promise... and... I can.. do anything he wants me to!..." She pulled away.

Christine briefly left to talk with Chloe who was beating the shit out of Ellie for spitting on her shoe "I'm your trainer now!" She smiled "And trust me, you'll be okay... compared to her over there, youre a saint..." The too giggled lightly. "Lets go to mine... You deserve a small break from this.. and if you're good for me you can stay in mine for longer, okay?"

Marley nodded and smiled "I can get better at the jobs around the house!" Marley like pleasing people, anyone. Even her kidnappers. She hadn't misbehaved once. She only had a fee panic attacks and a mental breakdown. She didn't want to break any rules, which only made her panic more.

They both went to Christine's house where she spent way too long cuddling the dogs before finally following Christine to the twos now shared room. She was ordered to strip. "This is what you'll be wearing most of the time... nothing, unless its cold or you're going outside." Marley nodded and yawned "Sleep, hon... We start tomorrow..."

Marley nodded and got in bed, Christine did the same and they fell asleel cuddling.
