"Please..." I hear her whimper and I go into full panic mode.
"Calm down, okay? Deep breaths. Don't hang up. I'll be with you soon. Where are you?" I rush as I grab the car key sitting on the glass table. I run into the garage with my dad behind me.
"What do you need?" Dad asks
"A room. A big one." He runs back inside as I hear her voice again.
"Basement...blood...Elle..." I hear sounds of movement in the background and connect the dots. Elle's bleeding, or something...
"Deep breaths baby, deep breaths. It's okay, you're okay" I murmur reassuring words to her as I speed out of the garage and into the highways, thankful that there's no traffic. 
Several thoughts run through my mind as I drove to her house. The last time we spoke, she could barely stand me, but now she's calling me. I feel kinda used, but now's not the time to think about that. 
I reach her house in a matter of minutes and shove the door open. The house is quiet, save for my heavy breathing and footsteps. I reach the basement and take in the sight in front of me. 
Blair cradles her brutally beaten-up sister in her lap as she rocks herself back and forth blinking very frequently.

Insight On Mai Diary

It's finally weekend. Blair didn't show up at school for the rest of the week and I was on edge throughout. I know someone's hurting her, I can swear it. But she won't let me in and it's driving me nuts. If only I can talk it out with someone. But, being the only child, my only hope is Edward and he's still mad at me. Even though he had asked me to explain myself to Blair, I still hadn't. It's not that I don't want to. But, it's easier said than done. I did it out of pressure. It's not an excuse, though. What does he expect me to say? 'hey Blair, I'm really sorry. I kissed you because my maniac friends won't stop bugging me' 


It sounds more nuts was each time I think about it. 


Dad is downstairs and is expecting me to join him soon. I'm so sure he wants to talk to me about my future. I throw on a shirt as I make my way downstairs. Hopefully, mom would swoon in to save the day if things gets outta hands.
