One month later.
Norabella's POV

"I'll see you in class, okay?" Piper said, giving me a side hug. I gave her a small smile and nodded. Everything changed slightly. Not everything actually...Just me, Daniel, and Joey. Something was ripped from us and we don't know what to do.

I cry a lot. Hell, I cry all the time. He was just my little baby...and now he's all alone with people he doesn't know.

I stared inside my locker. I felt like my body was made of stone. Like if I moved I would fall to the ground and never get up. Nor did I want to move, really. I just wanted to go away.

"Hey...uh...N-Nory?" I heard an all to familiar voice say behind me, tapping my shoulder lightly. I didn't have the mental energy to be annoyed or to sass her. I didn't want to.

"Hey..." I said so empty of emotion and life. I turned sound and faced Kessica. She looked different. Her eyes...she had complete fear behind her eyes. Her skin was pale and she looked scared.

"I uh...I really don't want to argue right now. I really...I don't want to" I said. She nodded frantically and walked a little closer to sound quieter.

"I'm sorry about everything that's happened to you. And I'm sorry for everything I've done. I know I can't fix all the bitchy things I've done to you and I'm really sorry." She said. I looked and examined her face. She was being completely sincere and honest.

I nodded at her and gave her a small smile. "I forgive you...we're just teenage girls, it's what we do" I said. She chuckles slightly, but that look on her face. I could tell somethings was wrong.

"What's happened?" I asked. The second I did her eyes started watering.

"I need to tell you something"

She closed the bathroom door and I looked under the stalls to see if anyone was in them. Once we were done, she leaned her trembling body against the sink.

"I did something bad" she said, tears now going down her face. I've never, ever seen her like this. She looked...completely helpless and vulnerable.

"Tell me what happened" I said, growing worried.

"I...I had sex" she said her voice shaky and filled with regret.

I was slightly confused. I mean, people already know she was having sex with her boyfriend, David. So I didn't really understand.

"I thought you've been having sex for months?" I asked, confused. She let out a quiet sob, quickly wiping her face with the sleeve of her sweater.

"It wasn't with David...b-but I didn't want to! I didn't want it to happen! H-he...he kinda forced me to" she said. I widened my eyes and grabbed her hands to try and calm her down.

"Hey hey, it's okay. You're okay. Who was it with? That's rape. We can have whoever it was arrested. Just tell me who it was with"

Her lip trembled as she continued to cry. I quickly consumed her in a hug and she clinched onto me like a lifeline. I definitely knew then she wasn't playing some trick...she would never do this. I've never seen her this hysterical.

"That's not the worst part" she said through her cries. I rubbed her bag and let her tears soak the shoulder of my shirt.
"Tell me" I said softly. She took a shaky but deep breath before she continued.

"I'm late" she said. I pulled back from the hug and looked into her eyes.
"I-I don't know what to do!" She said.

"Are you sure? When was your period supposed to start?" I asked. She wiped her face again.

"I'm sure...my tracker app thing said I should've started three weeks ago." She said, crying again.

"Kess...who forced you to have sex with them?" I asked. She looked at me dead in the eyes as she took a deep breath.

And the answer I got changed everything.

"Kai"
