•Scarlett's POV•

"Hello?" i asked.

"Hello Is this the Rose family residents?" A professional person asked. I was becoming scared.

"Yes. Who is this?" i replied.

"This is the PSA. Police Service Authorities. We are very sorry to inform you that-" He took a deep sigh and paused for a moment. I was becoming more scared by the second,

"What?!" i practically yelled when he wouldn't finish his sentence.

"Ms.Rose, we found your father dead at the Marine Intersection in Los Angeles." that was all i needed to hear, i dropped onto the floor, breathing heavily, my mouth was fully open and i was struggling to breathe. This can't be happening! My father. The only person i had left, he was gone.

"H-how... how did he die?" i whispered anticipating the answer.

"Drunk driving. It take many peoples lives every year. Because you are not of legal consent, we have to put you, and your sister in a orphanage, i'm very sorry miss." That just put everything over the top,

"i'm 16 for crying out loud, not that far from 18, i've been left alone with my sister numerous times, surely i can stay here!"

"I'm sorry miss, but thats not legal, you have to be 18 or older. But if you can find someone close to you, family friend for example, over the age of 21, than you can go threw a process that'll allow you to live with them, until you're old enough to move out." when those words left his mouth i saw a bright side coming up. I agreed to take him up on that offer, i could find someone within the next 24 hours, i will need to go to their head state and tell them, luckily for me, that wasn't too far away, and plus, i got my car fixed. After we bid our goodbyes i sat on the couch once again, and took in everything that just happened,

"He died..." i whispered to myself, as if telling myself that this is reality, this is real, i'm officially an orphan...But there was still one problem, who was going to take me in? My aunt she's going back to her hometown, all the way back in the US, and i wasn't born here, i was born in England... yes, but not here. The only person i know that can take me in is ... Anne. I really like Anne, she's friendly, and caring, and a really good motherly person. But Harry... i'd have to out up with him or a year... until i can get my own place. Whoa. Slow down there Scarlett, they haven't even agreed. Suddenly the door bell rang and i looked over to the door really quickly, i got up off the couch and made my way over to the door, dragging myself. I opened the door and saw my aunt and Valerie. I probably looked like a mess when i opened the door because as soon as Vals ran into the house she sat me down on the couch i was just bawling my eyes out on.

"Sweetie, is something wrong?" she asked concerned, her big blue eyes pleading. I tucked a piece of my blue hair behind my ear as i struggled to find my voice,

"H-He's g-g-gone..." i barely whispered as i looked at her, tears now streaming down my cheeks.

"Who..?" she asked inching closer,

"D-Dad..." i said looking at her, her face was pale, and lost all its colour.

"Oh my god. Come here dear." She said as she pulled me into a hug, my hands we're trembling, and the tears still streamed down my face. If i only had 1 more day with my dad, i would tell him how much i loved him, and despite all the abuse, and hatred thrown at me from him, i'll always love him.

"He's in a better place now hun." My aunt said after she pulled away from the hug. But was she so sure? Is he really in a better place?Is it bad that i feel guilty? I never paid attention to my dad, and i've always blamed him for my mistakes, i blamed him for all my flaws, my weaknesses... everything. And deep down, i still love him, he used to treat me like a princess, like i was the only thing that ever mattered, why was it that i couldn't thank him before he left..? Now i'll never get the chance. Another tear slipped down my res cheeks as Valerie walked in, the sight of her made me cry even more, the poor girl, first her mom... and now her dad. I looked over to My aunt, and then back at Vals.

"Whats wrong sis?" She asked, moving in closer to me, wrapping her frail arms around my leg.

"Valerie, we have to tell you something." My aunt said, looking at me, waiting for me to finish off, and break the news to her. My voice cracked multiple times as i explained to her in the simplest way possible why i was crying.

"Listen sweetie, Daddy's... he's, he's with mommy now." i said whispering. She looked so lost and confused. She looked at me, then up to the ceiling. She pointed her little finger upwards towards the ceiling.

"Up there?" She asked softly. I couldn't point my finger down and say 'no, down there' So i just nodded slowly. I was expecting her to be crying into my arms about now but both me and Aunt Beth were stunned when she smiled and hugged me. Her voice was muffled against the fabric of my sweater when she said,

"Does that mean you won't be hit anymore?" I was stunned. And shocked. How did she know?

"What did she say?" aunt Beth asked me.

"N-Nothing..." i said as i looked into Valerie's eyes. She got up off of my lap and looked at me once more,

"Now we can have a normal family!" She said too over joyed for her own good. Poor girl, she grabbed her My Little Pony bag, and hopped up the stairs, i peered at Aunt Beth, still in shock.

"You're not of legal age yet Scarlett, where are you staying?" she asked concerned. I gulped and thought about what the man said, find a place to stay... or an orphanage home. I took one final breath and looked at her.

"Anne's house." i said confidently. I nodded as if re-assuring myself that i had just said that she looked at me and smiled.

"Ah. Harry's house, your best friend." I cringed at the word 'best friend' As if. We were anything but Friends. Let alone best friends.

"You sure about this darling?" She asked one last time. I nodded and she got up, heading towards the

door, i followed, slowly behind her.

"Well my flight leaves tonight. Be safe, okay dear? I'm leaving, knowing your in good hands with Anne. Don't forget to go into the office and let them know your decision. I love you Scarlett." She said cupping my check. I let another tear slip my eye, as she looked at me, i whispered a bye, and with that she was gone. I was all alone. Nobody to help me. Nobody to answer my un answered questions. And the guilt in my heart still didn't leave.

"I'm sorry for blaming you..." i whispered as i trudged up the stairs. I passed by Valerie's room, and saw her watching her favorite show, acting as if nothing ever happened. She gave me a smile, and continued to watch her show. I passed by my dads empty, room. Damp, dirty, blue-gray walls held the cold inside the room as if it were collecting it. I shivered as i stepped into the room, not remembering when was the last time anyone has ever been in here. A single dancing light, projected from the lamp, as i turned it one, watching it flicker across the walls. I opened the windows slightly, watching the curtains move to an unseen rhythm. The lone window, high on the outside wall, allowed only one tiny gleam of sun light in to pronounce the time of day. Scratches in the stone picture frame that hung above the wall of me Valerie, Mom, and... dad. Thick white spider webs flowed across the room, shimmering in the dim light i had just turned on. It really has been awhile since anyone was in here. Wrapped tightly in silk threads was a picture book, containing all the happy memories we shared, before the abuse started. A little plant, not watered for awhile, sat untouched beside the thick wood door. A rough, worn leather mat, still warm, with a balled-up blanket thrown carelessly on top, as if forgotten, sprawled out beneath the window, The window were when i was younger, we used to look at the stars out of. Beside the make-shift bed, a little coin, just a penny, stood bare on the thick dust on the floor. I creeped over to the bed and sat down, a creaking sound escaped the bed as i sat down on the un used bed. I looked at the window, shivering a bit at the cool Britain air. I took a deep breath.

~~Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face

You told me how proud you were but I

walked away

If only I knew what I know today

I would hold you in my arms

I would take the pain away

Thank you for all you've done

Forgive all your mistakes

There's nothing I wouldn't do

To hear your voice again

Sometimes I want to call you but I

know you won't be there

I'm sorry for blaming you for

everything I just couldn't do

And I've hurt myself by hurting you

Some days I feel broke inside but I

won't admit

Sometimes I just want to hide 'cause

it's you I miss

You know it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this

Would you tell me I was wrong?

Would you help me understand?

Are you looking down upon me?

Are you proud of who I am?

There's nothing I wouldn't do

To have just one more chance

To look into your eyes and see you looking back

I'm sorry for blaming you for

everything I just couldn't do

And I've hurt myself

If I had just one more day, I would tell you how much that

I've missed you since you've been away

Oh, it's dangerous

It's so out of line to try to turn back time

I'm sorry for blaming you for

everything I just couldn't do

And I've hurt myself

By hurting you...~~

I finished off the song, watching

the cloth on the bed turn a deeper colour as my tears fell onto the sheets. I got up and closed the door behind me. I walked over to my room, grabbed the first thing my hand touched in my closet, and walked to the bathroom. I looked at wrist, and back into the mirror. I sat on the edge of the bath tub. I perched myself on the edge of the tub and thought about skin. I curled my bare toes against the bathmat, trying to forget the feeling of sorrow, and guilt, the feeling of regret, and pain, and sadness. But how could i? I was already numb. I stared at the scars lining my wrists, observing them as if i could erase them with just a simple look. Other days i would count them and their meanings; one for every time i was bullied, one for every day when i came home with bruises, one for every time the bystanders just watch me fall threw the cracks, as i was tortured, and tormented at school by the populars. All i could do was wish. Wish for it to stop. Every time i hated himself for lying to Valerie, about the bruises, tears, and frowns. But it's so easy, too easy, for me to promise myself i'd stop. But continuing anyways. And now, feeling the scars beneath my fingers, picturing so vividly all the nights i spent cutting. I could feel each sharp intake of breath, each tear that slid from my eye, onto my pale skin. As the bathtub faucet ran cold water over my neck and the blade glowed crimson beneath mu clumsy, weak, shakey, fingers, i tilted my head back, mouth open for silent agony but also perverse joy, because i knew that i should not be feeling this, doing this, enjoying this as i did, and always do. And my anger exploded with each swift movement of the razor, my pain that so often destroyed me, coating the floor of the tub in sickening contrast to the pale tile. I remembered kneeling on this same floor, attacking my self until i could take it no longer and fallimg back, exhausted, against the bathroom cabinet. Because i had never been good enough for anyone, had I ? I was disgusted with myself. And how pale and fragile my skin had looked - still looked - under thefluorescent lights. The urge to die was so strong that i had to clench my fists to keep from going any deeper with the blade. It was so tempting. So painfully tempting. I thought desperately of my wrists again, aching to feel sadness for the delicate skin that i so easily destroyed. I forced mu fingers to stay under the running water, but i was so , so, so very eager for the pain to end, that i dug my nails into the wall of the bathtub until the tips of my fingers burned. I stayed here until my hands cramped with exhaustion and the urge to die...was gone. Because I knew i had to fight this. Because of the six words i kept repeating in my mind, kept vowing, swearing to myself.

I Must Stay Alive For Valerie.

I dropped everything, releasing all the tension built up inside of me. I let the water flow onto my skin as i stood there. Evaluating my life. And just thinking. When i was finally done i got out, and threw on my pajamas.

***

After my scene in the washroom, my mood has been down. I made dinner for Vals, and helped her into bed. I was now staring at the dull, white ceiling of my room. I turned around, and closed my eyes slowly, Whenever i close my eyes, i always see the bright light shinning, seeing a better day, a solution to my problems. But when i opened my eyes, its all gone. And all i can do is pray. I sighed. Tomorrow was a school day, Monday, to be exact. That means facing... everyone, and asking Anne if i could... stay at her house for a bit. Surely she'd let me, but i had no problem with it. It was just Harry that i wasn't looking forward too. I yawned, and closed my eyes. Maybe i wont go to school tomorrow, and with that, i fell asleep.

•Zayn's POV•

[The Next Day]

I walked into the school gates, wandering about, looking for the familiar blue hair. When i didn't find anything i was a bit worried. I

convinced myself that i was just paranoid, and she was probably late or something. I could talk to her about the project later or something, i walked up to my friends, Liam, Brianna, Kat, Niall, Louis, Alicia, and Harry.

"Hey guys." I said, sitting down beside them, waiting for the bell to ring, indicating our signal that school was starting. When nobody said anything, i decided to glance around the table. Alicia was practically sitting on Lou, he hand wrapped tightly around his arm, much to Harry's discomfort, and probably Louis' too. Brianna & Kat were sitting beside each other, playing with there fingers, Niall was quietly eating a chewy bar, while looking at the table, as if it was the most interesting thing in the world. Liam had his arms crosses over his chest, looking up at the sky, laid back on the chair, and Harry looked pissed off, with his elbow on the table, his hand in his curls, with his other hand fisted. We just sat like that for about a minute. Nobody daring to say a word. Everyone was knocked out of there day dream, when two hands smacked down hard onto the table, resulting in Alicia screaming, Louis turning his head quicker than the speed of light, Liam flipping over his chair and landing on the floor, Kat and Brianna, hugging each other for dear life, Niall choking on his chewy bar, and Harry's face smacking against the table, we were all glaring at the source of the sound and found Jason.

"Alright fools." He started glaring at us with hatred filled in his eyes. I guess someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

"I never liked anyone of you. You're all selfish, sick, psychotic bitches. You think you're the coolest individuals to ever walk on the face of this earth, Well no. Snap out of it! You're potentially ruining everyone's life with your non stop shit taking, and bullying. I'm not here to yell at you, and kick all of your asses, i'm just here to ask you something. Got that?" We all nodded, scared by his out burst. Now you might be wondering why we, the most powerful people in the school, allowed him to talk to us like that, was because he could really beat us all up in one quick second, with no help at all. Think about that, thats 1 against 8, he'd still win. It actually surprised people that he choose to hang out with Scarlett, the loser of the school. If he dropped her as a friend, he'd definitely be at our popularity level. But for now, he's just a bit behind us, but above many. He continued with his question.

"Where's Scarlett?! I tryed calling her and she hasn't picked up, she always does-" he paused and looked around, to make sure nobody could hear what he was about to say, he continued,

"- i know what you guys did. It was sick of you to trick her into doing that. I swear if you killed her, you'd all be dead. I suggest you tell me where she is, or it's not going to be pretty. Keep in mind i could get the police involved in this matter. So do you want to start talking, or just stare at me like i'm speaking Chinese?" We all looked at each other, our eyes growing bigger, we didn't think he would find out,

"Do any of you know where she is?" Liam asked, we all shook our heads. He sighed and walked off, taking Niall's chewy bar and stuffing it in his mouth in the process.

"Do you think she's okay?" I asked, surprisingly concerned.

"Who cares?" Alicia asked,

leaning back against Lou, which he replied with shrugging her off his shoulder, much to her dismay.

"You know this is all your fault." I said looking at Harry, he wiped his head around and looked at me, if looks could kill, i'd be dead by now, Heck! i's be half way in the ground at this rate.

"How is this my fault?!" he semi yelled.

"Its all of our faults." Liam remarked. Making us all turn to him.

"It was her idea!" Kat yelled, pointing at Alicia.

"Yeah it was!" Niall said, backing up Kat, no surprise there.

"I was drunk!" she yelled defending herself.

"You weren't drunk when you were kissing my best friend while in a relationship, right?!" Harry asked standing up, yelling at her.

"Oh please." she said rolling her eyes.

"What about you Louis? This was as much as your fault as it is Alicia's!" I said standing up as well.

"I didn't tell her to kiss me! I regret it okay?!" He said pointing at me, standing up too.

"What?!" Alicia yelled, standing up in the process.

"If we get in trouble we're blaming you!" Kat and Brianna said in sync as they stood up pointing at Alicia.

"What about Harry?! He was just as much apart of this as Her!" Niall said getting up, throwing his chair back, and smacking his hands down on the table.

"Alright everybody shut up!" Liam said standing up, yelling louder than anyone has ever heard. Everyone calmed down, by now we were all standing, sending glares to someone every now and then.

"She could've died." i said huffing, extremely pissed.

"Oh what now? Are you telling my that you like that ugly slut?" Harry yelled facing me.

"What?! N-no!" i defended. "What about you?! Dont you like her?! You saved her!" i yelled back in his face. He looked taken aback, but immediately backed up himself with a smart remark.

"No! I-It's because if we g-got caught, we'd b-b-be charged with Murder if nobody helped h-h-her!" He stuttered. I smirked.

"Sure." I said smugly. And then felt a hard object connect with my jaw as soon as the word left my mouth, i looked up to see Harry, with his fist clenched, angry as hell. I balled my hands and leaped at him, falling to the ground in process, throwing punches with my hand as we rolled around yelling at each other, by now half the school was crowding around, chanting 'fight, fight, fight' if Liam, and Niall didn't pull us apart, i swear i would've killed his ass. I was fuming, and so was he.

"This is not over Malik." He warned. I glared at him, the bell rang, and everyone was running to there classes, and we all turned around to walk away. When Harry made one last remark.

"Oh and Louis-" He turned around,

"I'm wining that bet." Harry said smirking, and turning around, walking back to the doors of the school. We were all stunned to say the least. Was Karma really getting us back?

•Scarlett's POV•

"Almost done!" Valerie said, knocking my out of my thought, i looked up to her, and she was drawing a little picture. I admired how strong she was for a little girl, so brave, acting as if nothing had happened. I had woke up early this morning to print out the documents, indicating that i was living with someone older than the age of 18.

I filled out everything, but all that was left was Anne's signature. And i had no idea how i was going to get it. The door bell rang, and i told Valerie that i was going to go answer it, she nodded and i walked over to the door. I opened it, expecting to see a door to door salesman, but i was surprised when i saw Anne holding a little cake,

"Oh dear, Harry told me you were in the hospital, so i came by to visit, how are you?" She said enveloping me in a tight meaningful hug.

"Just the person i needed to see" i said under my breath as i hugged her back.

"What was that?" She asked.

"Nothing, thank you so much, come in." i said opening the door a bit wider. She stepped in, and looked around,

"My! What a big house, oh and this is for you." She said handing me the cake. Wow. That was probably over 20,000 calories alone, plus sugar, and glucose. Geese. I didn't want to make her feel bad, so i kindly took it and gestured her to the couch, she sat down, and i took the cake into the kitchen, placing it on the little ledge, and telling Vals to come say hi to Anne. She followed my and walked into the living room.

"Hello Mrs.Tiles." She said.

"It's Styles sweetie." I corrected her, she smiled, and looked at me,

"Can i go watch tv?" She asked me, i nodded, and she skipped up the stairs gracefully.

"Anne, i need a... favor i guess you could say." i said quietly, taking a seat beside her, she turned around fully to face me.

"Anything hun!" She said smiling. She really was an amazing women.

"I need a- a... uh... um place to um,

stay for awhile." I said quietly.

"Oh my, if you don't mind me asking... why?" she asked concerned. Well here goes nothing.

"Well, yesterday, i uh, i got a ...

call from the PSA. My um,

dad ...died and because i'm not of legal age yet, i need to stay at a legal guardians house, or i'm forced to live in a orphanage with Valerie." I said,

a tear slipping down my cheek,

she looked utterly gob smacked as she stared at me in disbelief. She suddenly wrapped her arms around me pulling me into a hug.

"I'm so sorry sweetie! Of course you can stay with me!" She said hugging my tighter, i let out the breath i didn't know i was holding, i had a place to stay, another tear slipped out of my eye, as i squeezed her with all my might.

"You can stay in Gemma's room, she's off at University, and Valerie can stay in the guest room! Just give my the papers to sign, and i'd be more than delighted to have you stay at our house, i'd love some company! Harry's hardly ever home!" She smiled a huge grin as she hugged me once more as i passed her the forms, she signed them all, and i explained to her that i was going to take them to the office today, and we'd be able to move in within 1-2 days. She was overjoyed, and we talked for a bit more, about our plan, when she left i ran upstairs and went into Valerie's room.

"Listen Vals. Come here." I said patting the spot beside my on her bed. She hobbled over and sat down.

"We're going to be staying at Auntie Anne's for a few months, okay Vals?" i said holding her little hands.

"With Harry?!" she asked beaming, almost bursting with excitement, i nodded, and she was overjoyed, at least she was happy to see Harry, on the other hand, i was dreading it.

"Now, i'm going to a little place where we agree to stay with Aunt Anne, okay? I'll be back soon, so sit here,

and don't answer the phone, or open the door okay? If you get hungry, theres a glass of milk, and a piece of cake on the counter, okay?"

i informed her. She nodded, and i grabbed, the documents, and keys, i gave her a hug and closed the door behind me as i walked out, i must admit i was a bit scared to leave her alone by herself for the first time, but shes a big girl she can handle it... i hope.

•Jason's POV•

[After School]

I was strolling down the street to get to Scarlett's house, i was walking with Melissa, i already informed her about the hospital situation, and why she was in there, she was now caught up. We were practically running to her house, we were both worried, we both called multiple times, and it rang out each time. She always picks up the phone, so something must definitely be wrong. When we reached the door i rang the doorbell, and waited for a bit. No answer. I looked at Melissa and tried again, nothing. I knocked this time. Still nothing. I was becoming furious, and so was Melissa.

"Scarlett open up! It's Jason and Melissa!" I yelled threw the door, knocking again, I heard light footsteps, and the door swung open, but i didn't see anyone, but i felt a little impact on my foot, i looked down to see Valerie hugging my leg.

I smiled and crouched down,

"Hey Valerie, Is Scarlett home?" I asked her. She shook her head.

"Where is she?" Melissa asked, tucking a piece of Valerie's hair behind her ear,

"PSA." she answered, smiling. PSA. That's the Police Service Authorities. I looked over to Melissa, and she was just as confused as me, i took a seat down on the little bench on the porch, and so did Melissa,

"Why?" I asked simply.

"Daddy died, and we're moving to Anne's house." She smiled brightly, i choked on my own words, and i stared at the little girl in front of me dumbfounded. So that's why she didn't come to school.

"Wh-When did she find out the news?" Melissa asked, stuttering.

"Yesterday." Valerie said, sitting down beside us. It was them realization hit me, the PSA office was over 2 hours away from here, there's no way Scarlett could get there by herself, theres a 99.9% chance she's gonna get lost! Melissa probably realized this too, because she gasped,

"We should wait here until she gets back, if it's dark, and she's not home, we're calling the police!" She yelled,

i agreed and we sat there.

A few minutes later, a figure was walking up the pathway to the house, We both got up, and ran to the stairs,

"Scarlett!" We both yelled, only to be disappointed to see Zayn... Wait. Zayn? Melissa kissed her teeth and sat back down on the bench.

"What're you doing here?!" I asked threw clenched teeth.

"I- i was j-just worried about H-her. I j-just came to see if s-she was o-o-okay." He stuttered.

"Geese. Stop stuttering." I said, and explained to him how her dad had passed, and how she traveled over 2 hours to the PSA office.

"Oh my god! You're joking? Why aren't you calling the police?!" He asked me,

"We're waiting for a bit, she could be fine, we dont know, if she's not back before dark, we call the police." He nodded, and came back to sit with us, to wait for Scar. I was surprised that he actually stayed.

About 30 minutes later another figure walked up the pathway,

"Scarlett!" All 3 of us yelled running to the figure, only to

find Harry. Melissa groaned and headed back, stomping like a child up the steps.

"Okay what the hell are you doing here?" i asked, un amused.

"Same reason as you, to see if shes okay." He answered smugly and turned to Zayn, he glared at him.

"What are you doing here?" he asked the boy beside me,

"Same reason as you." He answered.

"And you said you didn't like her." Harry smirked.

"I could say the same thing about you." Zayn answered back, Harry stepped closer.

"Hey, hey, hey. Back off, there's a little girl over there." I said breaking up the two, as i pointed to Valerie. Harry backed off, looking sympathetically to Vals. He turned back to me.

"So where is she?" He asked. I explained the same story again, receiving the same reaction, surprisingly, he seemed scared, and decided to wait with us, of course, he sat at the opposite end of Zayn.

Another 45 minutes later, another figure emerged from the pathway... and you guessed it, we all ran to it,

"Scarlett!" Our 4 voices yelled, only to see Niall, and Liam.

"Okay, i'm done." Melissa said and planted her self back on the bench.

"So, you guys do care about her." I said, eyebrow raised. They all shook their heads,

"No!" They all yelled in sync. I muttered a 'sure' as i explained the same depressing story about Scarlett's dad to the other 2 boys, receiving yet again, the same reaction. They decided to wait to.

A hour passed, and a silhouette walked up the stairs, we were all about to yell 'Scarlett' when we all looked at eachother, and waited to see who it was, Louis. Figures. Who's next? Leonardo D' Caprio? i ended up Explaining the story yet again to him, he waited with us too.

Many hours passed, and the 8 of us, Louis, Harry, Liam, Niall, Zayn, Melissa, Valerie, and I were just waiting for her, it was now dark, and she hadn't arrived yet.

"Call the Police." Liam said, getting approving nods from everybody, i grabbed my phone and started dialing 9-1-1, when we heard a car park in the drive way, and Scarlett appeared, Shocked to see us all, But even more shocked when Zayn and Harry tackled her with a hug, She pushed them both off making them stumble back, and almost fall over, they were both confused,

and she just turned around, tears in her eyes,

"What? Are you 5 just here to torment me at home because i wasn't at school? Leave! I don't want you here!" She yelled, the 5 of them looked shocked as she yelled that, She cursed at herself for leaving Valerie alone, and then gave me and Melissa a hug, which we both returned gladly, she really needed a friend right now.

"Thanks for coming." She whispered, then turned around to face Harry,

"Oh and by the way, we'll be seeing a lot of each other soon." We all looked at each other, and Harry just stood there, frozen as motionless. Scarlett walked into the house and closed the door Valerie behind her.

"You don't think my mom..." He trailed off, his face pale.

"I think she did." We all said. He stood there, not moving for a minute, when he finally jerked around and ran home yelling

"NOOOOO!"

Poor boy.
