Despite the fact that Louise was kicked out the the hate group, she still had the attitude of one. My parents had to go out of town for a weekend. At one point, Louise began beating me. She then left the house. I packed up some things and went to Gavin's house. Gavin answered the door. I said, "Gavin, I just came to say goodbye." He looked at me curiously and asked, "Where are anda going?" I said, "I'm running away." He became wide-eyed. He said, "Please don't run away! That will only end in disaster. anda might get hurt atau worse!" I said, "It doesn't matter." He said, "Quinn, it does matter. Your parents would be very worried about you." I said, "No, they wouldn't. Nobody loves me." He said, "That's rubbish, and anda know it!" I said, "That's not rubbish. It's the truth." He said, "No, it's not. Your parents Cinta you. I Cinta you. Don't ever forget that anda are loved. Why do anda want to run away?" I began to cry. Gavin hugged me for the first time. He said, "It's all right. Let it out." I told him what Louise did. He said, "Don't run into the forest. Please stay with me. I don't want anything to happen to you. You're my friend. I care about you." I spent the entire weekend with Gavin. My parents found me at Gavin's. My mother said, "Quinn, we were worried sick about you." She then noticed the bruises and asked, "Who did this to you?" Louise was standing seterusnya to Mother. Louise said, "I did." We were all in shock. Louise actually admitted to beating me. Was she going to brag about it? She said, "Quinn, I did anda wrong this whole time. I guess I used the anger in my grief over Grandma and Grandpa against my loved ones." I said, "Oh, that sounds so close to an apology, but we're not quite there yet. Goodbye." I turned away. She said, "Quinn, wait." I turned to look at her. She said, "I'm sorry. I should have never hurt anda like this." She then hugged me. She then looked to Gavin and said, "Gavin, I owe anda an apology, too. I'm sorry I was so cruel to you." He said, "All is forgiven." I don't know what got into Louise, but one thing I do know is that she never mistreated me atau anyone else ever again. Throughout everything, Gavin was a true friend. I gained some lebih friends, but Gavin and I remained as close as ever.

THE END
