"She told her parents, they seem okay with it, I mean, her mom is totally fine with it but her dad..." Courtney tells us three days later, on Christmas Eve.

"Her dad is a fucking asshole, it's bad enough that she's had to go through this but the fact that he's making this whole thing about himself? Fuck that," Olivia bursts out, clearly enraged by Quinn's father.

Quinn hasn't really done much in the past three days, Courtney is the one that gets the most information out of her but that's understandable since they're closer. The whole school has been reposting the image to the point of it being all we see whenever we open our social media. It's not that they're bad comments per se, just that they're destroying her private life, publicly.

Lilly is doing much better than Quinn since she's never told anyone that she's gay but she never hid it if people asked. She's been over at Quinn's as much as she can during winter break.

"So, we're doing this?" Olivia asks as we stare at my phone with the text message App open.

I don't even think about it before I hit send, "Yes, we're doing it, it's only fair." They nod along slowly understanding my thought process.

"Have you spoken to Nathan yet?" Olivia asks, lying back on my bed with her head hanging off the edge.

"He's texted a couple of times but I just don't know what to say to him," I shrug helplessly.

"I have to be honest with you, but I'm not impressed with Nathan's attitude towards this whole Summer drama," Courtney speaks up with an uneasy smile on her face, afraid of how I will react.

"It's just because they're childhood friends-," She cuts me off.

"That doesn't matter, she's done terrible thing after terrible thing and what has he done about it? Nothing. He hasn't spoken to her because if he had, it would have stopped already. We all know how obsessed she is with him," we all shudder slightly, "So, surely if he had spoken to her, she would have backed off since she wouldn't want to upset him?"

Olivia and I sit quietly not having an answer for her.

"And all he ever does is tell you he's going to fix it and acts like what she did wasn't so bad, it was fucking horrible and she didn't even get a slap on the wrist for it. I get that they're family friends but he chose to be more than friends with you, which means that he should at least defend you in these kinds of situations," she takes a breath, heavily affected by this.

I stare at her and I can feel my thoughts battling in my head. She's making it sound worse than it actually is... isn't she? I'm sure he told her to stop, he told me he would, so, why wouldn't he?

"Court, I think you're taking this a bit far, Nathan is obsessed with Charlotte, why would he let his friend jeopardize that?" Olivia asks calmly, sitting up.

"All I'm saying is that if he wanted this to stop he could have stopped it after she was a bitch to you at the twins' birthday party," Courtney answers matter-of-factly. "She put Quinn in hell, the bitch deserves to burn with the consequences."

"I know that! That's why I sent the rap sheet, Court," I tell her, pushing my hands through my hair from the stress.

"And I think it was the right thing to do," she states, folding her arms across her chest.

"Was it, though? Because I don't feel any better than I did before," I tell them quietly, trying to calm my breathing. I stand up stiffly and pick up my pillows off the floor.
