Sierra pinched herself hard, and tears started streaming down her face.
Zada jumped. “What's wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden? Don’t cry! Just tellwhat happened.”
Through her sobs, Sierra whispered, “I messed up last night.”
“What did you do?” Zada asked quickly.
Sierra sniffled. “I was staying at Halsey’s place. Last night, | went to her room to find her, but instead, | walked in
on Mr. Lane taking a shower. He grabbed a shampoo bottle and threw it at me-hitright in the head.”
Zada's eyes went wide. “Wait. Halsey’s fiancé hit you?”
“It was my fault,” Sierra said quickly. “I shouldn't have gone looking for her so late. He thought | was doing
something else. It was a misunderstanding.”
“Then just explain it,” Zada said.
Sierra shook her head. “I don’t think Halsey believes me. She thinks | went into her room on purpose... She
probably thought | was trying to get close to Mr. Lane. Zada, you've got to believe me. I'd never do that. Yeah,
my family doesn’t have much, but that doesn’t mean | have no self-respect.”
Zada took her hand, her voice steady. “Of course, | believe you. You savedbefore! | know you're not that kind
of girl. And honestly, Halsey doesn’t seem like the type to think the worst of people.”
“But she leftin the hospital alone,” Sierra said, her voice breaking again. “She didn’t visit or even call. My

Sierra started crying harder.
Zada frowned. “That's messed up! Halsey’s being way too petty. Yeah, her fiancé’s amazing, but con! We're
not trying to steal him. Just because your family’s complicated, it doesn’t mean she gets to treat you like that.
Besides, you got hurt because of her fiancé.”
Sierra's heart leapt with joy at Zada’s words, but on the outside, she stayed pitiful, sniffling.
“Thanks for taking my side. | barely have any friends... If | lost you too, | don’t know how I'd go on. | might as
well just die.”
Zada pulled her into a hug. “Don’t you dare say that! We're gonna live, both of us. We'll always be there for
each other.”
Sierra nodded. “Okay.”
She pressed a hand to her bandaged forehead. “Ugh, it hurts so much. The doctor said it might leave a

scar. I'll end up looking like a monster.”
Zada'’s heart squeezed. “No way. A scar? Don’t freak out. When you're better, I'll go with you to a clinic. We'll fix
it, and you'll look amazing again.”
Sierra nodded. “Okay. But what about Halsey?”
