As much as I enjoyed watching Lara apologize, I was left more confused than ever.She was on drugs—strong painkillers, benzos, probably half the hospital pharmacy at this point. Maybe she was hallucinating Victor being there. Maybe it was all just a paranoid breakdown.But I fucking believe her.Victor's a psycho, and just like Lara had been thinking when I left the hospital, no one would believe her if she told them what really happened. Just like no one would believe me if I told them Victor's been stalking me. Watching me. Dreaming up fantasies about me.And now I can't even ask Lara about it. Because whether or not it happened, she's lost her goddamn mind.As Katy and I got back to school, just before the end of the period, she asked, "So do you think she tried to kill herself?""There's no fucking way," I said."So you don't think I'm stupid for thinking someone did this to her? Her CCTV was tampered with too—like, fried from the inside. My dad said it can't even be recovered.""
