When Maven and I arrived at the house, I quickly dragged him inside. Sky and Harry were already inside with worried and angry looks on their faces.

"Did you call my brothers and Charlie?" I asked the three of them.

"Charlie and Connor are on their way." Sky answered. "And Cole and Carter are trying to get out of the meeting to head to the police station." she added.

"What did he do to you, Ali?" Harry asked, ashamed.

I just waved him off. "You shouldn't hear about it. It's disturbing." I said. "All you guys have to know is that in fine and I'm going to make sure that asshole is going to jail."

"I'm sure he'll stay there for a long time, Ali." Maven said, wrapping his arm around me, squeezing my shoulders lightly. "We'll make sure of it."

"Thank God, someone saved you." Sky said in relief. "Your family might actually kill someone if Henry continued what he was about to do."

"Well, I think they already might." Maven said, jokingly.

"Yeah. Robin and Rhys really saved me." I answered.

I think Henry would've died if Robin hadn't told Rhys to stop. Montecillio was beating him up to the point that Henry was unconscious. How did everything get so violent all of a sudden?

Sky and Maven left after a few minutes since they were going to pick Shane up and their uniform for tomorrow. They've decided that they'll sleep over just to make sure that I'm alright. Even though I told them that I was fine, they still didn't believe me.

"I'm sorry, Ali." Harry said, still looking at the floor. "Shit. This is all my faultβ€”"

"It wasn't your fault, Harry." I said, cutting him off.

"But it is!" Harry exclaimed, standing up from the sofa. "I was on a date. I left you to walk alone while I was on a date. I feel freaking terrible about that, Callie. Not because it was brother how did that to but knowing that if I was with you, I could've prevented this."

I frowned, pulling him into a hug. "It's fine, Harry. You didn't know, okay? Don't blame yourself. I'm fine, really." I whispered. "I'm fine now thanks to Robin and Rhys." I added, pulling away. "Who's the girl?" I asked, changing the subject with a grin dancing on my lips.

He frowned. "We can talk about it another time."

"Let's talk about something else until my brothers gets here." I said. Knowing my brothers are already pressing charges. "I need something else on my mind."

We've talked about the girl he currently liked. I thought it was another girl he was going to play with, but the way Harry talks about her, it was different. Like Harry really likes this girl. I hope it turns out well.

The door suddenly opened and the aura of the room began to get cold. The look on their faces scared me. They looked like they killed someone.

"Henry is charged with sexual harassment and domestic violence." Carter answered.

My forehead creased before looking at Harry. "You pressed charges?" I asked and he nodded. "Why? I thought that you weren't charging him."

"Harry helped with the case. We have evidence. This case will most probably go into court since we have evidence and witnesses." Cole implied.

"It's the least I could do to help." Harry said, holding my hand. "Let's make sure Henry stays in jail."

"If this even gets into court, we'll lose." Connor retorted, making my brothers and Charlie glare at him. "There are a lot of best attorneys out there that Henry's parents can hire. We all know how dirty their lawyer can get. If do want to win the trial, we'll need the both of you to testify."

Charlie sighed. "I thought that we weren't getting into that yet." he said, frustrated with the situation. "I thought that we would tell them when we know for sure." Charlie said through his gritted teeth as he continued to glare at Connor.

"It's better if they knew what was going on now, rather to tell them later on." Connor said, nonchalantly.

"You are being careless again, Connor." Cole sighed.

"My parents will come home, then?" Harry asked. "They'll know that Iβ€” we filed a case against their son?" he added, bitterly.

Carter nodded. "They'll know." he replied. "You don't have to be worried, Harry. We will protect you from family. We'll protect the both of you."

I gulped. "Witnesses." I voiced. "Who's on our witness list? If ever this goes into court."

My brothers and Charlie looked at each other. They were mentally debating whether to tell us or not.

Charlie coughed. "Well, you and Harry..." he trailed off. "Sky, Maven, the guys that helped you β€”"

"You don't have to worry about it, Callie." Cole placed a hand on top of my shoulder. He furrowed his brows. "Who's clothes are these?"

"It's Rhys'. He lend me it when I took a shower at his house earlier. I felt dirty and I burned my clothes." I answered, sheepishly. "Did we need the clothes for evidence?" I asked.

"No." the all answered in unison.

After talking some more about the possible trial, my brothers, Charlie, and my friends decided to order some food. Charlie and Carter also decided that it was best if they stayed the night to check on me. They're so worried about me even though I said I'm fine.

After eating again, I went up to my room to shower and change my clothes. Upon doing so, Rhys' clothes smelled like musk and peppermint. Which is pretty attractive. I should wash this and give it back to him.

I wore my owe clothes before stepping out of the bathroom. Harry and Maven were already laying down the extra mattress on the floor while Sky was bossing them around. They also looked like they've showered too.

"Are you guys literally going to sleep in my room?" I asked, drying up my hair. "There are a lot of rooms in this house. You should go sleep somewhere else." I sighed when they shook their heads stubbornly.

"Yup." Maven answered. "Harry and I will sleep on mattress on the floor while you and Sky sleep there." he added.

"Where's Shane going to sleep?" I asked, curiously.

"Mom and dad are home. They said they'll take care of him." Sky answered, happily. "Callie, are you really fine? Because you could always talk to us or we could refer you to a therapist?" she asked once more, still concerned.

I nodded. "Like I've said before, I'm fine." I repeated. "And I don't need a therapist. I'm fine. I don't want to talk

"If not, we could always plot a murder towards Henry." Maven jokingly said. "I bet we'd be good murderers."

Harry rolled his eyes. "We'll go to jail since we're all eighteen, dimwit."

"Who said we'll get caught." Sky smirked and we gave her a look to make her raise her hands in defeat. "Kidding." she giggled.

These are my friends. While Harry and I the reasonable ones, Sky and Maven are the sadist jokers. I honestly don't know how I became friends with these people, but I love them. I would do anything for them. Scratch that, I'm the reasonable one, not Harry.
