I let myself and the girls into my house that afternoon after school.
"Wow it's so……quiet," Jessica said.
I laughed.
"Yeah get used to it. Anyway, come in, help yourself to anything that's in the kitchen which is basically my kitchen since my mom's never around and neither is my brother."
The girls went into the kitchen.
"I like your house," Lacy said.
"Thank you,"
I went into the kitchen where Vanessa was making herself some chai tea.
"I'm so glad you have health food," she said.
I laughed.
"Wow you have a lot of food," Jessica said.
"Yeah."
The girls all got themselves something to eat.
"Hey Lizzie?" Kate called.
"Yeah?"
"Can I talk to you?"
"Yeah sure."
I went into the room where Kate was.
"Whatsup?" I asked her.
We sat down on the couch.
"Can I stay here tonight?"
"Sure."
"My dad came last night had an argument with my mom hit Amy and then raped me."
"Oh god."
"I don't know how long he's staying."
"Stay here as long as you need to."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
We went back into the kitchen.
