She had probably gotten away the lightest when it came to her interrogation. One of the police officers interviewing her had been following her on social media for a while, and so went easy on her. Willow had an airtight alibi and had ended up spending half an hour talking to them about her work and how her classes were going. Calling it a pleasant experience was stretching it a bit, but it hadn't been that bad. She'd been good friends with Sarah and had even used her as a model for a while. They'd stayed in contact, so it had hit hard when Willow found out she was dead. And about her secret. But she was in no place to judge. Sarah hadn't known about Jake. She'd barely even heard that he was dead. And Willow had been so wrapped up in her own problems she hadn't noticed anything was off with her. She hadn't guessed. How many of her friends were in similar situations?
But it was party time. She was a little late, even more than fashionably so, but her parents had wanted to skype and find out the full story of what had been going on. She'd finally gotten away, gotten changed, and wass heading into the party. Her phone buzzed just as she reached the party. Tee, trying to find out where she was. Willow grinned as she entered, scanning the room. Lee, Lincoln, and Rebecca were in a group. That was one group she was staying as far away as possible from. Lincoln wasn't her biggest fan, and things were still awkward between her and Rebecca. She found Tee and grinned, walking over and swinging an arm around her shoulders. "Didn't really think I'd abandon you, did you?"
Willow didn't tend to regret things. But she did regret starting to fall out of touch with her. Tee was the one person who knew... pretty much everything about her. Who had known what Jake was doing to her. And she had confided in Willow. They knew each other better than anyone else, and just seeing her made Willow smile like nobody else could.
