Jennifer's POV:

It's been 2 weeks since Arielle been in school, and also a week since she had been in my house. It was now Friday, on Wednesday I texted her to ask her if everything was and all she said was that she had come down with a really bad fever. I offered on multiple occasions to come over and take care if her but she always made some excuse.

I knew something wasn't okay with Arielle and I honestly wanted to know what was wrong, to help her. It hurt me that she couldn't confide in me about whatever problem she has. So I decided after school I would go over to Jaylin's and ask her if she knew what was up with Arielle.
---------------------------------------------
I was currently outside of Jaylin's house, waiting for her to open the door. I grew impatient and rang the doorbell again. The door flew open, revealing a very pissed Jaylin.

"I swear this better be something good because I was just in the middle of watching this really good movie." Jaylin said not even bothering to look up and see who she was speaking to.
"Uh hey Jaylin." I said to her.
She looked up at me and said "OMG I'm sorry I didn't know it was you. Usually you tell us when you're coming over so..." she trailed off.

"It's fine Jaylin, can I come in?" I asked her. "Sure." she said stepping aside so I could walk in. After I was in she closed the door behind her and asked "So what brought you to surprise us with a visit?"
"Um I think it would be best to talk in your room." I told her. She nodded and led me to her bedroom. Once we got there she shut the door and we both sat on her bed.

"So what's up?" She asked
"I have something to tell you..." I trailed off.
"Are you pregnant!?" She yelled.
"What no, no,no. It's more that I have to ask something though."
"Okay shoot." Jaylin said.
"What's wrong with Arielle?" I asked her.
"She's sick?" Jaylin said but it was more like a question.
"Thats a lie and you and I both know it." I said to her.

She let out a sigh and said "Look Jen, I would tell you but I can't because honestly I don't even know what's wrong with her, but I have a good guess about what's up. It's her business and only she can tell you, it's only right if you hear it from her and not me."
"Yea...you're right." I mumbled.
I got up from her bed and said "I guess I'll be going then."

"Alright Jen see ya. Remember don't try to force her to tell you anything. She'll tell you when she's ready." Jaylin said as I was exiting her room.
"Okay thanks Jaylin. Bye." I said and I closed the door.

Great now I'm right back where I first started. I guess all I can do is wait for her to tell me. I thought to myself.

Arielle's POV

It's been a week since I've been to school and since that thing happened with Jennifer. My nightmares have started to come more frequently than ever now. I hated how I just left Jennifer there, without a proper explanation why, I just knew that I had to leave. I didn't think I could handle her touch, it just brought back painful memories.

FLASHBACK:
She reached down underneath my towel and started teasing me. I myself didn't know that I could take this much without anything triggering any memories so I decided to go with it.

She stopped sucking on my neck and moved her mouth towards my ear and said "We're going to have a great time."

That right there did it. As soon as she finished that sentence an image of him flashed through my mind and I just couldn't go on. I pushed her off of me and just focused on leaving.

All I heard was mumbling when I was putting on my dress but I kept repeating "I need to leave."
I was so close to leaving the room but then I felt an hand grab me and that just made me remember how he grabbed me...how he touched me. I couldn't help but start to let tears from my eyes.
"Please let go of me..." I said. She automatically let go of me and I rushed to leave her house.

My body was on autopilot. I my legs took me home without me even knowing it. I took off my clothes and laid in my bed. I tried to close my eyes but whenever I did I was see his face...fell his hands all over me. I decided that sleep wasn't needed and stayed up the whole night, just staring at the ceiling.

I don't remember when, but I had fell asleep, and luckily without having a bad dream. I got up and looked in the mirror and saw that I had tear stains o my face. I decided to not pay it any mind and I went into the kitchen and saw my mother there sitting at the table drinking a cup of tea and reading a magazine.

"Hey mom." I said as I entered the kitchen and looked in the fridge for something.
"Hey sweetie." She answered.
"Is Ylianna gonna make something I'm hungry." I whined. "What time is it anyways?" I asked her.
"10:38." She said simply.
"What!" I yelled. "Why didn't you wake me up?" I asked a little too loud.

"Please lower your voice sweetheart." my mom said. "I didn't wake you up because you're not going to school today, or for the rest of the week for that matter."
"Why?" I asked. My mom looked up at me, got up out of her seat and walked towards me, she put her hand on my shoulder and asked "Have you been having nightmares again?"

I looked away from her and to the ground. "No I haven't." I lied.
"Arielle are you forgetting that I'm your mother? I can tell when you're lying." 
I stayed silent.
"You have been haven't you? I heard you crying in your room yesterday, so I opened the door but I saw that you were asleep..."
I didn't say anything so she continued. "Were they bad?"

"I don't know... I can't remember..."
"Well either way, you need to stay home, I don't think you're ready to go to school." I nodded and went back into my room.

END OF FLASHBACK
-----------------------------------------

Whenever I remember what happened I can't help but get the chills. I was currently laying on my bed watching tv, bored out of my mind when I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in!" I yelled to the person on the other side of my door. The person opened my door and I saw it was Jaylin.

"Hey Ari I came to give you all the homework you missed." She said.
"Thanks." I said to her. She closed the door behind her and sat on one of my bean-bag chairs. She just sat there for a couple of minutes, just staring at me until she finally asked "You've been having nightmares again haven't you?"

"Yea how did you know? I haven't told you anything?" I asked her.
"Jennifer. She came over to my house and asked what was wrong with you."

I guess I should tell Jaylin now then.

"Uh Jaylin?" I asked. She nodded and said "Yes?"
I looked down at the floor and said "There's something I have to tell you."
"Well then spit it out." She joked.
"Jennifer and I are close." I said, not knowing any other way to put it.
"Well obviously I mean, she's your teacher." Jaylin said simply.
"No, I mean like we're close, like really close." I said to her.

"Oh...and?" She asked.
"You're not angry, or shocked?" I asked.
"No, I mean it was pretty obvious if you payed attention to how you two acted around each other." Jaylin said.
"Oh, oops..." I said.

Jaylin got up from the bean-bag chair and walked over to where I was. She put her hand on my shoulder and said "She's really worried about you, like a lot."
"I know..."
"I'm worried about you too." She said.
"I know that too."
"I don't think you know Arielle, there are people who care about you and want you to open up to them, waiting for you to tell them what's wrong with you."

I couldn't hold my tears in anymore and they just started falling from my face. She wrapped her arms around me and enveloped me in a hug.

I don't know how long I cried for, but soon I felt my eyelids get heavy and close.

Jennifer's POV:

I couldn't fall asleep so I decided to take a walk in the park near my house. I walked there and saw no one was there and I sat on the bench. I was just sitting there feeling the cool breeze move my hair in multiple directions.

I felt the bench that I was sitting on move and looked towards the right and saw a guy sitting there. He looked like a teenager, around the age 18, maybe 19. He had dark brown hair and brown eyes, with a very sharp jawline.

"So what are you doing out here?" He spoke with a very deep voice that if anyone else heard it, could probably make them fall head of heels for him.
"Just wanted to get some fresh air." I answered.
He nodded and then said "Has anyone told you that you're extremely beautiful?"
"Many, but thanks." I said trying to give him a hint that I wasn't interested in him.

"No need to be so harsh just some questions." He joked. I didn't answer and keep looking at nothing important.
"Do you know Arielle Agostinelli?" He asked.

Why would he care if I knew her or not? Something's up with him.

"No I don't know anyone by that name."
"Oh, I thought you did." The guy said.
"No, why do you ask?" I asked to guy.
"Because she's someone I need to see...immediately." He said.

Something about this guy's aura didn't make me feel to good with letting him talk to Arielle.

"Why do you need to see her so badly?" I asked.
"Her and I need to catch up because she's put me away for a long time." The guy said.

Put him away? What does he mean? I thought to myself.

"Ya know for someone who doesn't know Arielle you're sure asking a lot of questions about why I want to see her." The guy said.
"I don't know her, I was just curious because you seem so stuck on seeing her." I lied.
"I hope you don't know Arielle, for your sake." The guy said and get up off the bench and walked away from me.

I couldn't do anything but look at him walk away in shock.

He hopes I don't know Arielle? For my sake?

I could already feel that this guy is gonna be trouble.
