No Light, No Light (Private)

"Not really. I haven't told all my family, just Othello," Ty replied.

"I only told him cuz Janeseh put on an act in front of him, and tried to persuade Ollie that Janeseh and I were dating. He knew it wasn't true, and asked me about it so I told him."

"You think the others wouldn't believe you?" Gabrielle asked. She sat next to him. "Isn't your father influential? If he did believe you...."

"I don't really want to talk about it to them." Ty turned away. "I'd be ashamed."

"If it helps, there's nothing to be ashamed of, not really. Being a victim isn't a crime, or a sin." Gabrielle said softly,trying to be supportive. "If you don't want to, it's fine. I understand it completely. I... I..." she faltered at this, but continued on, "I might do the same in this situation. But it might help, so if you do ever feel like you can, then do."

[Miranda_]

"Alright, you can go ahead and do it then. I don't know when he'll next be here, tho; sometimes he doesn't wait outside, sometimes I come into my apartment and he's already there."

[Sarah_K_O_M]

"Should we place a mic in here and out there then?" Gabrielle asked. "I don't want to fck over your privacy,"
