"How could you say that after what happened yesterday?", asked Marleen.
"Excuse me miss the patient is still in a bad condition." explained the nurse.
"Sorry I'll be taking my leave now!" cried Marleen.
Later that day Marleen went to Jerry's home to give his parents her apologies but Everyone except Jerry's sister forgave her.
"No, I'll never forgive her, she's the reason why Jerry is in the hospital!" shouted Jerry's Sister.
"Kelsey it's not her fault that a serial killer targeted her home." said Jerry's Dad.
Kelsey ran to her room crying. "Kelsey wait!" shouted Jerry's Mom. Marleen apologised for causing them trouble and Jerry's parents told Marleen that she shouldn't worry about what happened. Marleen went home and called her friend Shana for help to take away her regret.
"Shana, please help me.", cried Marleen.
"Marleen, I know you still have regrets over what happened yesterday, you never knew Jerry would come in and try save you and your family, but he did and he did it for you." Shana continued.
"But Shana he shouldn't have come in to save me of all people... after how I treated him at school, I called him idiot, loser, stupid and he still saved me and my family." said Marleen.
"Marleen you know better than I do Jerry was always crazy and he never thought before he did something ambitious cause that's just the kind of person he is." said Shana.
"You're right Shana, thank you I really needed that, talk to you later." said Marleen. The 2 friends ended their talk and Marleen slept with less regret that night.
The next day Marleen was walking to school but she dropped of flowers by the hospital just before she got to school. When Marleen got to school after 2 days of being absent everyone ran to her to ask her what happened to Jerry and why she's unharmed. Surrounded by everyone Marleen is overwhelmed and can't say anything.
"Hey Hey Hey! Everyone who says another word will get a knuckle sandwich!" shouted Jacques
"Oh no it's Jacques!" shouted everyone.
"Wow Marleen, you're in a terrible state, what happened to the cool and composed Marleen I know?" asked Jacques.
"Cut her some slack Jacques shouldn't you be giving people knuckle sandwiches." said Shana.
"Relax Kitty don't bite my head off jeez. I'll go take down the papers the Press team has been putting up around the school." said Jacques.
After the commotion Jacques went to the Press room to discuss the papers they've been publishing and Shana comforted Marleen and took her to the restrooms.
"Marleen! Marleen! Marleen!" shouted Shana.
"Huh sorry Shana I was just spacing out." said Marleen.
"Are you okay... you know after what just happened?" asked Shana.
"Shana, I never asked for this...," cried Marleen.
"Marleen, sorry girl come here." Marleen cried in Shana's arms while saying how much she doesn't deserve this. She regrets everything that's happened.

"Shana why did this have to happen, why did things turn out this way?" cried Marleen.

"Well Well Well, if it isn't Shana and her broken little friend Marleen, hahaha I never thought I'd find you two in here having such an emotional talk." said Janette "Why the hell are you here, shouldn't you be telling girls you're the self-proclaimed Queen of the school?" asked Shana angrily.
