Hey! Long time no see, right? …Yeah… Sorry about that.

Huge thanks to vexingvixen7, cemmia, Kisa19, amy, Swany14, and cellardoor0789 for reviewing chapter 7! I really, really appreciate it! Huge thanks to everyone that followed and favorite my story as well! Just knowing that someone is taking the time out of their day to even read my writing makes me so happy!

Lena looked up at her reflection as she washed her hands.

That was so not okay, Lena thought to herself.

What wasn't okay? Your completely inappropriate dreams of one of your clients or your completely inappropriate self-love session you just had on your toilet? Lena's disapproving conscious asked. Disapprovingly of course.

A little bit of both, Lena replied…to herself?

Lena then turned off the running water and picked up the drying towel near the sink. She then leaned her back against the sink as she tried to reason with herself and come up with an explanation that made this all okay.

As if one exists! Her conscious scoffed.

Shut up! Lena countered. He's incredibly…

Incredibly what? The wrong person to try to start anything with since it's illegal? Is that what you were going to say?

No! Lena huffed and folded the towel to hang it back up.

I knew it was too good to be true to think that you've come to your senses.

Lena rolled her eyes.

Dreamy! He's incredibly dreamy!

You're not 18 anymore!

"I also think I'm not sane anymore," Lena muttered to the empty bathroom. "I think I need my own therapist."

"So…" Lena started before she paused to lick ketchup off her thumb after setting her burger down. "I feel like I should come clean with you."

"What? Are you cheating on me with Bethy?" Maggie joked as she dipped an onion ring in honey mustard.

"No. It's serious, Maggs."

Maggie quickly swallowed her food and sat up straight know Lena wasn't playing around when she called Maggie that nickname. Lena rarely ever used it and every time she had before, bad news followed it.

"What happened, honey?"

Lena took a deep breath and kept her eyes on the wooden table.

"It's about…It's the thing that made me cry last night."

Maggie didn't say anything. She knew it was hard enough for Lena to talk about personal things.

"Um… So there's this guy at work named Shane and he's like an assistant or whatever for the warden. Anyways, he came into my office yesterday with some file and I had said a few cuss words because I didn't know he was there and that's like against the rules or whatever and so I thought I was going to get reprimanded or something and…and…"

Maggie watched as Lena's cheeks flushed and her eyes began to water. She knew Lena hated crying so crying in public was a huge no no for her.

"Okay. C'mon sweetie. Let's go to the bathroom," Maggie quietly said to Lena as she gathered their purses and jackets while looking around to make sure no one was watching Lena's breakdown.

Lena just let Maggie softly grasp her elbow and practically drag her to the bathroom like a child.

Maggie opened the door and guided them to the handicap bathroom and locked the door. It was the only bathroom big enough for the both of them, so Maggie really hoped no handicapped woman would need to use the bathroom.

"Go ahead, honey. No one's here but us."

Lena leaned against one of the walls and tears started to quietly run down her cheeks. She couldn't remember the last time she cried this much within two days.

"He came in to give me this one inmate's file and then he just…he kept touching me and he wouldn't stop. And Daryl was in the room still and he knew it but he just kept…touching me and I didn't even…I couldn't…" Lena began hyperventilating.

Maggie couldn't believe her ears. She's heard stories of sexual harassment and rape before, but no one personal to her had ever had to experience those horrendous acts. She could feel the fiery red anger feel her body. Her hands balled into fists and she felt like finding this Shane guy and shoving his head right up his ass.

However, Maggie knew Lena needed her right now so she forced her anger down to dealt with at a later time when her best friend wasn't on the verge of a panic attack.

Maggie wrapped her arms around Lena and rested her head softly atop Lena's.

"Okay. We'll take care of this. You did nothing wrong and I still love and care for you," Maggie wasn't quite sure what else to say.

"He didn't put his fingers…inside you, right?" Maggie asked very uncomfortably, but she needed to know.

"No," Lena answered softly, her tears calming down at Maggie's comforting actions. "He ran his finger from my lip down to my hip then he walked behind me and grabbed my butt and said that if he hears my cuss again he'll punish me."

Maggie softly but firmly grabbed Lena's shoulders and held her arm's length. She then lowered her head a bit so she could catch Lena's eyes.

"When I'm done with Shane, you will never have to hear his name again, okay?" Maggie fiercely promised.

Maggie stared into Lena's blood shot eyes just thinking of how her beautiful best friend should never have to cry in sadness again. She was too good for the cruel things in this world.

Lena quietly nodded her head in understanding.

Maggie pulled Lena back into her chest.

"And he won't know up from down," Maggie scarily whispered in anger.

I'm toying with the idea of making my chapters shorter just so I'll be far more motivated to actually update. And of course with shorter chapters means sooner updates. I'm thinking maybe a chapter a day? Let me know what you guys think!
