Summary[]
Janine and Lauren are horrified when they realise what has happened to Whitney and try to persuade her to leave with them before Rob returns.
|
Having learnt the truth, Janine heads to the bedsit, noticing the man leaving. She interrogates Whitney who denies she's a prostitute. She doesn't get any money. Janine tries to convince her that she's being used. Whitney insists that Rob loves her. Meanwhile, Rob finds Lauren and threatens her if she tries to make trouble for him. Returning home, he throws Janine out, smashing her phone, and is angry when Whitney's anxious about her friends. He makes her feel guilty, and tells her that she's ungrateful. Whitney's uneasy when Rob tells her they're going to a party with his "mates" - she doesn't want to go. Rob grabs her and forces her down the stairs. Whitney pleads to stay, but Rob pushes her out of the door towards a waiting car. Whitney hears her name being called and looks up to see Janine and Lauren. She hesitates, before getting into the car. The car heads off, leaving Janine and Lauren staring after it, helpless to stop it. |
