Anti-Group (Part 3 of 3)

"Hey Suze, I have an issue," Madison comes in my dorm room closing the door behind her.

"What is it?"

"So there's this couple we found and we told them they don't belong here and they should leave. You know, the peaceful way you wanted. They didn't listen, they're even pressing to fight against us."

"We're going to have to drive them out...with force then."

"That's right."

"Just remember the guidelines we got, I don't want you doing anything extreme please."

"You got nothing to worry about Suze. I got this."

"The next thing I know, I witnessed two girls leaving the campus with their clothes ripped and bleeding from their privates.."

"I think Vero told me about that; that was recently."

"Yeah. And that incident kinda shook everyone because now the group has escalated to fucking ****...I was so angry at Madison...and I still am..."

"MADISON WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING?!"

"What Suze?!"

"YOU GOT THEM RAPED?! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND I STRICTLY TOLD YOU TO DRIVE THEM OUT BY FORCE!!"

"And I did. What's the problem?"

"IDIOT!! THE GUIDELINES SAID THAT WE CAN DRIVE THEM OUT AND ONLY DRIVE THEM OUT IF EVEN BY FORCE!! WE SHOULD CAUSE NO HARM AND THAT RIGHT THERE IS FUCKING HARM!!"

"Suze first of all lower your tone. Look I get the guidelines okay and it's my bad. They were just putting up a fight and we had to get them out somehow but chill okay? It's my bad."

"Please just..dont let this happen again...remember we have to keep the college's reputation up.."

"Yeah yeah I get you."

"It's pretty obvious that she didn't listen.." Ashley noted.

"...I'm really sorry I caused all of this...to a point where someone's life is lost..."

"I'll forgive you if you let Vero's attorney know everything."

I nod and comply because..I owe it to her..and her friend.

I told Veronica's attorney-at-law everything I told Ashley as he questions me through; he was pretty nice and very patient with me. Days past, I became a witness at court with Ashley and took all responsibility for the incident that happened.

Unfortunately the only thing that Veronica has to face is gun charges. But at least I played my part doing the right thing...right? Was it enough...?

The case is finally over weeks after and Veronica only has to face a year in prison. I leave the court house to go home until Ashley call me and I turn to her.

"Yea?"

"Thank you..for the help."

"It didn't feel like it's enough though...she's still going to prison..I robbed a year of her life.."

"You didn't. Don't worry, her mom planned to bail her out so she'll be out in a few months or so."

"I'm..very glad that I helped Ashley..I really am.."

"So what're you going to do now? About the campus situation?"

"I feel like the right thing to do is a public apology to all the campus...and make every and anyone feel welcome into it...its the right thing to do.."

Ashley nods with a mild smile then gives me a hug. I hesistated before hugging her back.

I reach home, greeted my parents and go to my room after talking with them for a while. I lay down on my bed then look over at my phone before reaching for it. I then dial a number and call it as I put the phone to my ear.

"Hello?"

"Hey...Zack."

"Oh...its you. What do you want?"

"I want to first say sorry for what happened at campus...for driving you out. It wasn't the right thing to do and I should've just stopped Madi-.....I should've kept my anger to myself."

"Uh.."

"It's okay..you don't have to apologize for anything, if you think every bit of your actions and decisions were right don't apologize. I'm just doing the right thing atoning for my wrong choices. And...I wish all the best for you and your boyfriend Zack. Bye."

"Suzie-"

I hang up with a big smile on my face as I close my eyes going to sleep.
