Dinah slept peacefully in her bed. Her face was relaxed yet muscles tense despite the damage Siope had done. She had been too weak and I took a good 15 minutes dragging her up the stairs. Camila spent another 15 yelling at me for not saying anything. That we couldve exposed him and stuff.
                          
But we both know in truth nothing her or Dinah couldve done would work. Camila wasnt a fighter. Normani was a fighter but shes gone. Along with Ally. Dinah probably couldve fought but if it risked me she deffiently wouldnt.
                          
I ran my fingers through her hair and kissed her forehead. She stirred a little and I found that surprisingly new. Usually she was a deep sleeper.
                          
"D?"
                          
She tensed and then her face controted in anger. Then confusion. And resting on a scared helplessness. Tears fell down her cheeks and she bit her lip. 
                          
"Dinah!" I cried. "Wake up common!!!"
                          
Her eyes shot open and she wouldve sprang off the bed if not for her sore muscles. She groaned in pain and covered her eyes with her arm.
                          
"Are you okay?"
                          
"I was just having a noghtmare Laur." She assured me. "Im fine."
                          
"You were crying." I point out. When she doesnt answer I move her arm from her face. Her eyes are read and arm wet.
                          
"Dinah." I say softly.
                          
This seems to bring on more tears and I wrap my arms around her.
                          
"Im so sorry Laur." She says into my hair. "I wish you wouldve been my first. I just couldnt- I just had to-"
                          
"Shh." I say rubbing her back. "Dont be ashamed of what you did. You did it because you were worried and loved me. And I thank you."
                          
"But I am ashamed. He cuffed me to the bed and-...."
                          
I wipe her tears and sit back. I really need to punch something, or someone. And by someone I mean march to Siopes and give him a godd smack to the face. Or throw a frying pan at Jennifer.
                          
"Its okay Dinah." I say rubbing her arm.
                          
Camila marches in and curls into Dinahs arms. "Dont be sad TweedleDee."
                          
"Dont be stupid TweedleDumb."
                          
She giggles and puts on a frown. "Common, there must be something we can do to cheer you up."
                          
"Kill Siope?"
                          
I smile and Camila makes a tsh noise. "Now now Dinah Jane. Violence is never the answer."
                          
"What about Ally and Normani?"
                          
Dead silence.
                          
"Im sorry." Dinah sighs. "I shouldntve."
                          
Anger boils inside me. I need to do something. And I will regret this but I need to makes ure no one ever hurts her again. Without a word I march out the door, slamming it shut. I run to my room, jump out the window so they dont hear the dorr close, and run to the bus.
                          
Inside I find the witch. Twirling a pencil in one hand, a triumphant smirk on her lips.
                          
"So? Whats the verdict?"
                          
"I agree."
