129-The Cozy Cabin

Helanie:

"Come on, lean on me," Jenny said the moment she walked in and saw my state. She immediately went into full commando mode.

I had been in the bathroom for what felt like ages, staring at the blood pooling between my legs. The sight alone was enough to make me feel faint. Then, out of nowhere, I broke down crying—overwhelmed with fear.

The first person to check on me was the last person I expected: Lamar.

Strangely, I trusted him. Somehow, he managed to calm me down just enough to bring Jenny to me.

Now, Lamar was waiting outside while Jenny did her best to take care of me. She cleaned my legs and coaxed me to stand, her voice firm but kind, trying to encourage me. She wanted to get me out of there to get Lamar's help, though I had no idea what they had planned.

"I don't want to go to any hospital," I whispered, clinging to Jenny's shoulder for support.
