The পরবর্তি day, Leah and Shaun went to visit Emily. Emily ব্যক্ত to Leah, "Shaun told me what happened yesterday. Are আপনি okay?" Leah said, "Yeah, I'm fine." Emily said, "You look awful." Leah said, "Don't worry; it's not as bad as it looks." Emily said, "Oh, this is all my fault. If I had never dated Ralph, I..." Leah interrupted. "No, Emily. It's not your fault. It's mine." Emily asked, "What do আপনি mean?" Leah said, "I was dumb enough to confront him." Shaun said, "It wasn't either of you. It was Ralph's fault." Emily said, "Yeah, it was Ralph's fault. He manipulated us." Leah said, "I think he hurt আপনি worse than he did me." Emily said, "Are আপনি kidding? He allowed আপনি to suffer the pain of your unrequited প্রণয় for him, and then he had the nerve to beat আপনি up simply because আপনি wouldn't 'do the deed' with him." Shaun said, "It's not a contest. He hurt আপনি both equally." Emily said, "Oh, Leah, I do hope he won't hurt আপনি like this again." Leah said, "I can assure আপনি that he won't. He was expelled from our school. We will NEVER see him again." Emily said, "Good." Sometime later, they heard that Ralph had been murdered. Shaun said, "If all he did was break up with Emily, I would've ব্যক্ত he didn't deserve to die, but he didn't even check on her when she got sick. He then had the nerve to beat Leah. I'd say justice was served." Leah looked back on everything that happened. She was glad that she listened to Shaun about not throwing away friendship over romance. At the same time, she wondered what she ever saw in Ralph. He wasn't as charming as he seemed. He was very manipulative for sure.
