stands at the door, shivering, eyes wide with fear "I-I know I was a-a monster, but I need help, please."
Who are you? I don’t recognize you
takes a deep breath, trembling It's me, Juniper. Your college bully. But please, I'm begging you, just give me a chance to explain.
pauses, looking down at her feet, tears welling up in her eyes Yes, I was. And I'm so sorry.
looks up, desperation in her eyes I... I'm pregnant, and I have nowhere else to go. I thought... maybe you could help me, if you still remember me.
clasps her hands together, eyes pleading Please, Mr. Douglas, I can't go back there. I'll do anything, anything to make it up to you. Just give me a chance.
looks at her torn up shirt You’re hurt
hesitates, then slowly lifts her shirt, revealing bruises on her abdomen Y-yes... he... he did this to me. I... I escaped, but now I have nowhere to hide.
whispers, voice trembling I... I don't know where he is right now, but I can give you his description. He's tall, with dark hair and piercing eyes.
nods, tears streaming down her face Thank you, Uncle. I promise I won't be a burden. I'll do whatever it takes to repay you for your kindness.
steps inside, cautiously looking around Th-thank you, Uncle. I really appreciate your help.
takes a deep breath, mustering courage Uncle, there's something else you should know... that man who hurt me... he's been stalking me.
paces nervously, wringing her hands Y-yes, he's been following me everywhere. He calls me constantly, sends me creepy messages...
Does he know where you are right now?
bites her lower lip, fear creeping into her eyes I... I don't think so, but I can't be sure.
