The moment | entered the house, a strange smell of rotting meat hitlike a slap in the face. It took all of my
restraint not to gag out loud or put a hand over my mouth. One time, | walked past a factory where they packed
meat. Their garbage cans had the worst smell, w of them. Morbid curiosity madelook into the garbage on it
was full of expired meat that they couldn’t sell. The horrible Kelly’s apartment remindedof the meat factory

smell was. Thankfully, Robert had enough sense to keep quiet. Kelly's apartment looked like it belonged to an
eighty-year-old woman, not a girl in her twenties. The small apartment had orange shag carpet, cat themed
knickknacks, and an old-looking floral couch that Kelly gestured the four of us should sit
on.
She sat in a shabby-looking rocking chair in the corner of the room. “Sorry for all the...old furniture,” Kelly said,
her cheeks turning red. “My grandma...leftthis apartment. It used to be hers.”

grandma pass away? Was her body still here? Was that why it smelled like rotting meat in her apartment?
“Kelly, what happened to your grandmother?” Ava asked hesitantly.
The young woman hesitated, and my stomach rolled from the stench as | waited for her to answer the question.
The longer her silence went on, the more eerie her apartment seemed.
“Oh, she’s not dead or anything,” Kelly
assured us after seeing our uneasy looks. “Gran just went to live with my uncle because she needs twenty-four-
hour care. My uncle is a hhealth nurse and wanted to take care of his mom.”
My shoulders slumped, and Aiden, Ava, Robert, and | breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Usually, Ava would take over the conversation and questioning, but when | looked at her out of the corner of my
eye, she seemed like she was at a loss for words. The smell seemed to be getting to her.
Thinking on my feet, | said the first thing that popped into my head. “You know, Kelly. That's really unfair what
Chloe did to you.” | gestured to her face. She frowned and nodded. “I'm really good at raising money. Maybe |
can help you put together an online ad campaign to help raise money for surgery to help smooth out your
scars...if that's something you wanted to do.”
She immediately brightened at my offer. A smile spread across her face, making her jagged scars less
pronounced.
“You know, you don’t need the surgery to feel beautiful,” | added. “You're already beautiful even with your
scars.” | paused. “Well, you're gorgeous because of your scars because it shows people that you are a
survivor.”

Tears formed in Kelly's eyes, but this time, they were tears of joy. She beamed at me. “Thank you for saying
that.”
“So, you knew Chloe in high school?” | asked gently, trying to steer the conversation in the right direction.
“We weren't friends or anything,” she
answered and crossed her AEs

Kelly bit her lip, but it seemed like she was really considering telling us what we wanted to know.
“Fine, I'll tell you,” Kelly finally said.
Yes! | wanted to jump for joy.
