It surprised most everyone. How Chloe seemed to stay beside Bryce, beside the Walker family. Their father said it was a good look. Why would Bryce’s girlfriend stay if the rumours weren’t FALSE? But Mercy didn’t believe that, didn’t buy into it all being a lie by a dead girl, by Jess. It had been easier to feign denial before the recordings had been posted but now? It was rare for Mercy to ever interact with the other girl alone, especially now that Bryce took to staying home more nowadays than going out to party or with him team. Fidgeting with the hem of her sweater’s sleeves, the question was on the TIP of her tongue, held captive behind her teeth. ❝ Chloe——— ❞ Hesitation to continue; Mercy never was the best at finding her own VOICE. But now it was far more important, more dire and she was desperate to hear from someone else.
❝ I know he’s your boyfriend and everything, but, he’s never like——— has he ever DONE anything to you? Like what everyone else is saying he does? ❞ Mercy wasn’t even sure what she was seeking? Confirmation? Or outright DENIAL? ❝ My family’s really happy you’re still with us and everything like you said but I think you’d know better than most people since you’re close to him in THAT way. ❞
