Six Years Ago

It had been a week since the incident. Wendy and Harry didn't speak. Not that they did anyway, but during that week, not a single word was uttered between the two. Not even Patty or Derek had heard from him.

Harry avoided Wendy at all costs, and Wendy couldn't help but wonder why. If anything, she thought that that party brought them somewhat closer. Harry saved and defended her, and she helped clean up his cuts. That was the most they ever connected, and now it was like they had gotten into this big argument and ignored each other.

Wendy would be foolish to deny that this hurt. She hated Harry for how she felt.

Normally, she wouldn't let boy issues get to her head. She would buck up and continue to dominate the world. But not even Kenny had contacted her for the week. So instead she sulked.

She texted once when she asked what he was up to, but he blew her off, not responding to her message. Although it was so simple, the rejection still hurt.

Wendy was beyond bored and alone. With her family gone, and her friends off doing their own personal business, Wendy had no idea what to do with herself.

She already watched all of the movies she wanted to watch, two times over. She already worked on enough artwork for her portfolio that three other people could take some of her art and she'd still have a lot left over.

She finished all books that she put off while continuing to tan in her backyard. She did her exercise every morning working on keeping up with her summer body before winter crept up on her.

She helped Diana do the grocery shopping, and even went shopping in the mall for herself. And she still managed to be bored.

She just got off the phone with her mom, wishing she decided to join them on their trip. Would be hell of a lot better than being trapped on Long Island with nothing to do. Her family was currently in Australia and she couldn't help but be envious. It had been many years since she traveled to Australia, and she missed it. She missed her family too. The mansion grew lonely with no one around.

At the end of the day, Jenny or Diana would leave and Wendy would be left to fend for herself. There was also the small thought in the back of her head that something could go horribly wrong while she was home alone but she always pushed those thoughts away.

While Wendy laid on her stomach, letting her back soak up the rays of the sun, her phone emitted her text-tone.

Glancing at the screen she read a message from Patty.

Hey, sorry I've been so MIA.. Had some family issues to deal with. Let's hang tomorrow?

Wendy responded almost immediately, missing her best friend.

You got it. If you want to talk, I'm here.

Thank you. I love and miss you

Ditto :)

Then Wendy put her phone back down. She let out a huff, realizing she had to keep herself busy another day before finally freeing herself of the mansion.

Just when she decided to go for a swim, Diana stepped outside onto the back porch.

"Wendy, there's someone here to see you," she announced.

"Who?" Wendy questioned, wrapping her towel around her frame.

"Uh, I'm not sure," Diana hesitated before stepping back inside. Wendy furrowed her eyebrows, following behind Diana.
