Ember felt a ringing in her ears.
She knew why her parents were silent, even though Brenda was trying to strip their dignity. She even understood that Jay was pretty helpless and today's events weren't his fault.
But the question was... was it still worth it? If they go by the plan she and Jay had made last night... then her parents will be insulted even more... worse... they will be disappointed.
Jay had proposed that they could run away for a year or so to some other base and stay there till Jay's parents gave up the matter completely, or they could say that Ember was pregnant, and Jay would have to take the responsibility.
Regardless of the plan, her family will endure humiliation. Again and again by Jay's parents.
She can endure everything... everything except her parents being insulted.
Suddenly, an urge to end everything rose in Ember's mind.
