Turning around to her friends, Collins asked;

"So who was the girl she attacked?"

"Elizabeth, you now that blonde chick…. kinda cute" replied Annabelle

"Kinda cute?" Kirsten was raising an interrogative eyebrow.

"Yeah, kinda… Anyway. No Kirsten, not my type."

At the very same moment the kinda cute blonde chick ran up to them;

"Hi!" looking at Annabelle, Elizabeth had a big smile on her face.

"Hey…"

"I just wanted to thank you, for last night."

Now raising two eyebrows, Kirsten turned to Annabelle her lips mouthing ‘last night’ with a triumphal smile.

"Don’t, it’s okay… I hope you’re feeling better now."

"I Am." bending towards Annabelle, she kissed her lightly on her cheek "Thanks again, I kind of understand why Cat did all this now."

That was not a move Annabelle had anticipated. As she watched Elizabeth slowly make her way to her friends, she felt four eyes staring at her.

Simone had to wake up early to receive Cat’s parents. And as she was lazily walking to the bathroom, she thanked God it was Saturday so she could go back to sleep later <Maybe Annabelle will show up to hold me in my sleep…>

She had had the weirdest dream; Amanda was holding a handful of anti-depressants in her hands, begging for Simone to stay with her while Annabelle had been tied up in the corner of the room begging to be untied so she could feel her again. At the thought of her present lover tied up, Simone couldn’t repress an erotic thought. She had slowly walked towards Annabelle kissing her passionately. As she did so, she found herself back in that courtroom she had dreamt about the night before, naked, all eyes on her, laughed at. A sudden crying Amanda had briefly shown up to say ‘you shouldn’t have let me go’ before disappearing right before her alarm rang.
