"I'm pregnant, so I can't just simply take medication," Avery said. "It'll be fine after a few days. I just need to cover it up with makeup for now."
"You... Get some more sleep!"
Laura patted her legs, urging Avery to lie down.
Avery shook her head and said, "I'm not tired anymore. I'll just look through my phone."
When she turned on her phone, she noticed the missed call from Mrs. Cooper. 1
She thought of calling back, but the crowded bus was noisy. After some consideration, she decided to talk to her when she got home.
Suddenly, the day's headline popped up on one of the news apps on her phone.
It read, 'Cole Foster Carried Out of Casino in the Dead of the Night! Suspected of Owing a Loan Shark Money!'
Avery took a deep breath and clicked on the headline.
She saw the photos of the night before.
There was one of Cole being carried out of the casino, and one of him being taken to the hospital. 2
The familiar face next to him belonged to none other than Cassandra.
Avery had not seen her sister in a long time, but she noticed that she was dressed even more promiscuously than before.
If Cole had not gotten in trouble with the loan sharks, she probably would have spent the night with him at some fancy hotel!
Avery closed the news app and checked her messages.
She noticed a text from Tammy that read: [Avery! I almost slept with Jun Hertz last night! Sh*t! We were halfway there when my period came out of nowhere!]
Avery was extremely shocked. 1
Avery: [Aren't you moving too fast?!]
Tammy: [We had a little bit too much to drink last night... Ugh! You should've seen his expression when I started bleeding... He was disappointed, but he still went out and got me a tampon.]
Avery: [Don't they have those in the hotel room?!]
