Ultimately, Axel ended up breaking every will and resolve Veronica had to fight back and since she was down, the other girls went down with her.
She agreed to no longer say anything derogatory to Aurora let alone bully her and also agreed to formally apologize to her at school tomorrow but it wasn't like she had any say in the matter, to begin with.
The girl walked away with her head held down in shame just after Axel told her she could go and while Layla followed her out of the area, Emma stuck around.
"I thought I made myself clear when I said you guys could leave," Axel remarked as he slowly stepped out of the house.
She was standing on the steps leading up to the door with her gaze on the floor.
He was aware that she felt guilty and ashamed about all this but still, that doesn't excuse the fact that she was a part of it.
"Um….I just wanted to say, thank you." She muttered.
"And why are you thanking me?"
