“Well, the only one that they need to stop
treating like a suspect is you because you’re the only one who
didn’t hurt me and never will,” Felicity replied, as she looked at
her selfies that she’d just taken.

Erin sighed. “I know. And I think Sherwood
and Seals knows that about me. I was very cooperative and I always
will be. But I think you should at least give them an update about
how you’re doing, you know, go there in person and see them. I’ll
even go with you.”

“Nah, I don’t wanna go to a police station,”
Felicity replied, as she adjusted her selfie.

Erin sighed again. “Felicity, they worked
really hard on your case and trying to find out who hurt you. I
think you owe them that much to just go in person with me or with
your family to thank them for it.”

“That’s their job to do what they did,
Erin,” Felicity replied. “Besides, my parents did send them a card
of their many thanks for how they conducted the investigation.
Look, it’s over, okay? I don’t wanna talk to them or anyone else
about it anymore. I don’t remember what happened that night and I
don’t ever wanna remember. It was the worst night of my life and I
wanna forget about it.”

“I understand,” Erin said. “But you haven’t
been back at school since it happened. The doctors said that you
could’ve went back to school over a month ago, but you haven’t come
back yet, but you can go out to these different places that we’ve
been going to now?”

“Well, I’m just not ready to go back to
school, and it doesn’t matter if I do or don’t because I’m current
with my work and everything that my teachers e-mail me,” Felicity
replied. She put her phone down and looked at Erin. “Erin, I
survived something that I wasn’t expecting to survive and was told
that I wasn’t gonna survive. No one knows how I feel, and no one
cares. I haven’t said anything, but no one has even asked me how
I’ve been — not Sloan, not anyone — and that’s really disrespectful
to me and my family. I just don’t know if I’m ever gonna go back
there.”

“I don’t wanna start a fight here, Felicity,
but you know why people aren’t asking about you. You know the kind
of fuckery you caused, and I know that your memory hasn’t been
completely wiped out of all of it. If you’re afraid of something or
someone and you don’t wanna go back to school because of it, please
tell me because I need to know, as well as your family and Sherwood
and Seals.”

Felicity stared at her. She smiled. “There’s
nothing and no one that I’m afraid of at school, Erin. I just don’t
wanna go back there, just like how I don’t ever wanna go back to
Moves. My parents even said that I didn’t have to go back to
school, especially since the teachers are all e-mailing me
everything I need to keep up with my classes, and they were elated
when I told them I’m never going back to Moves. I’ve been through a
harrowing ordeal, and it’s like no one cares that I have. You just
can’t count on people to really be there for you when you need
them, but I’m lucky that I have you.”

I can’t believe she’s
saying this,
Erin thought. “Felicity, I’m
pretty much your only friend, and that’s your fault that no one has
cared about you but me and your family, so yes, count yourself
lucky in that aspect. Look what happened to you because of your
fuckery? Do you want it to happen again?”

“It won’t happen again,” Felicity assured
her.

“I don’t know that to be certain, Felicity,
and you know you’re not certain of it, either. I mean, I would
think that what happened to you would make you not cause fuckery to
people ever again, but it seems like it’s not going to.”

“Well, I’m not gonna back
down to someone who talks shit about me, and I’ll let everyone know
it right now!” Felicity declared. She picked her phone back up and
typed in her usual hashtags, and then posted her first selfie since
her incident.
BEEN DOWN BUT I’M BACK UP!
AND I WILL
NOT
FALL AGAIN, YOU FUCKIN’ HATERS! YOU HAVEN’T PUT AN END TO ME
AND YOU NEVER WILL! TRY ME! I WON!
She
pressed the button to post the pic to all of her new social media
pages. Suddenly, she got a text from a guy name Greg that she met
at her favorite coffee shop a few weeks earlier. She read the
text.
Hey, girl. Wanna go to a party
tonight?
“Yes! Of course!”

Erin looked at her. “What are you talking
about?”

“Oh, I just received a text from Greg, a guy
I met at the coffee shop — I told you about him. He’s invited us to
a party tonight.”

“Where at?” Erin asked.

“It’s like one of those underground parties
that’s in a warehouse that’s only word of mouth. Do you wanna go?”
Felicity asked.

“Sure, sounds like fun. We haven’t been too
many places since you’ve been back home,” Erin replied.

“Great!” Felicity said, and then texted him
back and said that she would be there with Erin, and he gave her
directions to where the party was located.

As Erin pulled out of Felicity’s driveway,
she looked up at Taylor’s bedroom. The lights to his bedroom were
on, but his curtains were closed. “Felicity, have you talked to
Taylor since you’ve been back home?”

“Nope,” Felicity replied, and then applied
her lipgloss.

Erin looked at her. “Why not?”

“Well, you should be asking
him that.
I’m the one
who got hurt and was fighting for my life in the hospital, not
him. My parents told me that his parents and his brother have been
over to the house, but not him. I didn’t see them when they came
over because I told my parents that if anyone came over to see me
that I was resting. But no, he hasn’t once come over or called or
texted me to see how I’m doing, but that’s okay, I’ll remember it
even if I live to be a hundred years old.”

Erin sighed. “Felicity, look. Maybe he’s
still upset with you. If you didn’t cause any fuckery to him then
he would’ve came over to see you, and I’m sure he would’ve been the
first one besides me that would’ve.”

“It doesn’t matter, Erin. He’s not my
friend. You’re my only friend and you proved it. You only need one
good one, anyway, so fuck him and all of the others.”

“Felicity . . .”

“Erin! I have nothing more to say about what
happened to me that night, okay? It’s over. Let’s just find where
this party is at.”

Erin nodded as she looked
at Felicity while she looked at her phone.
There’s so much she’s still not telling me about that night,
and now I don’t think she ever will,
she
thought.

As they approached the place where this
party was being held at, it started to rain.

“Oh, great! It’s starting to fuckin’ rain?!
What the fuck? Did they say anything about rain tonight? Do you
have an umbrella in here?” Felicity asked.

“Yeah, I always keep one in my car. And I
didn’t check to see how it was gonna be tonight since I was just
planning to stay over your house,” Erin replied, as she drove
around to find the front entrance of this place. “This is an old
warehouse. They should’ve torn this place down years ago. I’m
actually surprised that it’s still standing.”

“Yeah, the bricks on it are all tattered and
look like they’re gonna fall down in a second. And not to mention
everyone leaving their mark that they were here by the whirlwind of
disgusting graffiti all over the fuckin’ walls,” Felicity said.

“Well, I don’t see too many cars here. Is
Greg sure that it’s here?” Erin asked.

“Yes, Erin, he said that this was the place.
It’s a big area to cover so maybe all of the cars are on the other
side.”

“I hope so,” Erin said, as she drove around
to find a place to park. She parked in a front space right on the
side of the building that was only a few feet from the door. It
started to rain a little harder.

“Come on. Let’s get in there before it
starts pouring,” Felicity said.

They got out of the car and trotted up to
the building so Felicity wouldn’t slip and fall in her four-inch
leopard heels.

The moment they walked into the building,
they could tell that this was an old warehouse. The old stench from
the past had said it all. They walked around the dark halls that
had little to no light in them as they tried to find their way to
where the main party was at. Suddenly, the faint sound of music
could be heard.

“I hear music!” Felicity said with
excitement. “Do you hear it?”

“Yeah, I can hear it. We must be getting
close to the main area,” Erin replied.

They walked up the hall and could now see a
faint light with several colored lights flashing.

“It’s definitely this way! Come on!”
Felicity said, and then grabbed Erin’s hand as they started to go
from a walk to a light jog up to where the lights were.

“Felicity, have you seen anyone else?
Because I haven’t,” Erin said.

“Yeah, I saw a few strays walking outside
that looked like they were on their way here, Erin. Remember, this
was by word-of-mouth only and Greg said in his text that the
organizers of the party told people to limit it to only two people
that they tell because they didn’t want attract too much attention
to the place because there’s not supposed to be anything going on
in here, so don’t expect for a lot of people to be rushing in
here.”

“Oh, okay,” Erin said.

Once they got to the main room where the
music and lights were at, the sound was unbearable.

“IT’S TOO FUCKIN’ LOUD IN HERE!” Erin
screamed to Felicity.

“I KNOW! I LOVE IT!” Felicity replied, as
she bobbed her head.

Erin looked around. “Just where the fuck is
everyone? I thought that there would be at least some people here
by now!”

“Relax, Erin. People will start coming in;
we’re obviously very early. It’s not even midnight yet and that’s
usually when a lot of people start coming to these kind of
parties.”

Erin nodded as she continued to look
around.

Several minutes later, the music got
quieter, and still, no one was at this party but Felicity and
Erin.

“Felicity, I think we should go,” Erin
suggested.

“Why?”

“Because it’s obvious that
no one is showing up, I mean, it’s not
that
early.”

“Maybe the rain outside is slowing people
down,” Felicity replied.

Erin sighed as she looked around some more.
“I don’t like this, Felicity. I think we need to get out of here
right now.”

“What are you talking about? We’re early,
Erin.”

“Where’s Greg? Did he tell you that he was
gonna be here?”

Felicity gave her a blank stare.

Erin shook her head. “Just
as I thought. Let’s get out of here,
now
.”

They turned around and headed out of the
room.

Suddenly, someone appeared in the room in
head-to-toe black wearing a ski mask, sunglasses and gloves! And
several more people out of nowhere appeared wearing exactly the
same thing!

“FELICITY!” Erin screamed.
But before she could say anything else,
someone grabbed her from behind and ejected something into
her left arm!
She immediately became
unconscious and fell to the floor!

“ERIN!!” Felicity screamed, as everyone in
the room closed in on her. She looked at all of them as they came
closer and closer to her in slow motion. “Just who the fuck are all
of you, huh? What the fuck did you do to Erin?! What do you want
from me? What did I do to all of you, huh? Leave me alone! Who the
fuck are you?!”

One of them finally spoke.
“We’re here to put an end to your fuckery, bitch!
Forever . . .
