Jane

Jane was watching Zach. She spent a lot of time watching guys, mostly just to make sure that they didn't come too close to her. Honestly, Zach wasn't a bad guy, but these days she had such a short temper with anyone who even slightly tried to get on her bad side. Her mind flashed back to the first day she had here.

"It's alright Jane, no one here will hurt you." Her social worker said before dropping her off. There were considerably less people here back then, and there was a set system when new people got there. They all lined up and greeted her politely, last of all was Leeta, who showed her up to the room they were sharing.

That hadn't been too bad. The next day when she finally had to leave her room was when all of the questions came. But still, that didn't compare to what Alyson had gone through today. But she hadn't been raped. Then again, she had still had been through a lot, even if Jane didn't know exactly what, or else she wouldn't be here.

Maybe Zach was right. Maybe she should give Aly another chance. If this had been back when she first arrived here then that would be an easy choice. She would have befriended Aly right away, but this place had hardened her. Jane admired Blake for not caring and shutting the world out so effectively. In her fear of men and what they had done to her, Jane tried to be the same way because it seemed so much easier.

Sighing, Jane looked into Zach's eyes. "Yes, people do change when they get here. Even if you don't think she had been a whore, she still could become one." With that, Jane went up to her room. She grabbed all of Aly's stuff, dropped it out the window as Aly had done to her stuff, and locked the door so that she couldn't come into the room. Honestly, Jane didn't care where Aly slept or what happened to her, she wasn't going to break the tough outer wall she had built up.


Alyson

When Aly walked away from Lucas, she looked around. Blake was outside, so she headed inside to look around, and maybe grab some dinner since she didn't remember eating and was starting to get a little hungry. That is when she heard the last thing Jane said about calling her a whore. It was easy to tell Jane was trying to get Zach to abandon her as a friend, but just the thought of that made Aly want to just run away from life. However, Aly knew that she would never be able to survive on her own, especially after never having to do anything except pick out her outfit before.

Not wanted to have to deal with that or anything, the blonde waited for Jane to go upstairs before slipping outside again. Trying to avoid Blake, Aly went to the other side of the house. It didn't take long before she heard and saw all of her belongings falling to the ground. All Aly did was close her eyes. No tears. No more crying. No more weakness.

After taking a moment to gather her emotions into a small box inside, Aly gathered her belongings that had blown around. Then, she had no choice but to go back inside. She went over to Zach and set her stuff down. "I guess I've been kicked out of the room." She said, taking a seat. Although she had Zach, Aly knew there was no way this day could possibly get worse.
