I saw Angelica's eyes widen in fear when she, just briefly, looked down at her phone.
"Angelica, are you alright?" I asked cautiously.
"Yeah... I'm fine. I have to go." She responded, rushing out the door.
"Angelica, why are you leaving already? Stay!" Alexander attempted to keep Angelica here.
"I'm sorry, I really have to go..." She burst through the door.
"I'm gonna follow her." I stated, and ran after her.
I caught up to her quickly. She was in heels and I was in flats. "Angelica!"
She whipped around. "Eliza, I really don't have time fo-"
"What's wrong?" I asked worriedly.
"It's... It's just..."
"It's just what?"
"Charles just came to our house uninvited!"
My eyes widened. "W- What?"
"You heard me." She paused. "You know what he can do invited. Try uninvited."
I shuddered. "Do you know why?"
"No. I don't." She replied nervously.
"I'm coming with you."
"Eliza, please..."
"Let me come!"
"Eliza..."
"Angelica, I'm coming with you!"
"No! You're not!" Her words echoed around the hospital as she walked away.
I ran towards Alexander's hospital room. "Peggy!" I burst through the door.
"Is she alright?" Alexander asked worriedly.
"Alexander, I'm really sorry, I need to talk to Peggy." I replied. "Peggy!"
"I'm helping take care of Alexander!" Peggy replied.
"Peggy, you come here right now!" I shouted.
Everybody's jaws dropped.
"Okay..." Peggy said quietly. I pulled her into the hall.
"Angelica is going home. Charles just went there to see her. Dad is at work late tonight, which means they will be in the house alone. You know what happened last time they were alone together."
I saw Peggy's eyes widen at the thought of Angelica lying on her bedroom floor. Her arm. Her eye.
"So... We're going to get him out?"
"We're going to try." I answered.
Peggy and I ran outside and hailed a cab to take us home.
