Amy's POV

It's been over two weeks since I last saw Jane, and just like every other high school, rumors have been spreading.

No, not from me or any of my friends,

The news about Logan being arrested by the police and getting expelled from school was a big hit, almost everybody was talking about it,

And like every other school, students made up theories and created stories..

Some said he was doing drugs, some said he was in a russian mob,(how that came to be is still a mystery to me), some say he was a porno movie star (close enough),

But in all schools, there is always that one group of students who connects everything,

So few eyebrows rose when some students realized that the day Logan got arrested was the day 'queen bee' Jane was last seen.

Suddenly, new stories arose, but the popular ones were; either he killed her, he kidnaped her for ransom, or they got married in las Vegas.

Students and their wild imaginations, luckily no one thought of the bitter sad truth;

He raped her.

Well that's that about Jane,

Today is Thursday and I plan on- who am I kidding, I don't have any plans, all I can do right now is think about what to get at the cafeteria,

yes, it's almost lunch time, five more minutes, and it's been five more minutes for more than fifty minutes now, this has got to the longest five minutes of my life and I'm starving, I skipped breakfast today,

*Ring ring ring*

Finally, the stupid bell rang, I ran out of that class like it was on fire

"Amies, wait up" Ben called running after me

"What's the rush?" he asked

"Sorry, I'm just so hungry, scratch that, I'm starving"

He chuckled,

Drew and Raven walked upto us in the hallway,

Yeah, lately he spends more time with Raven and Ben than he does with me, at first I was happy about it, I thought I needed the space to save my heart, but after four days, I knew his absence wasn't helping me in anyway.

No, I'm not complaining, I just- fuck it, yes, I am complaining, bite me.

"So who else is as hungry as I am?" Drew asked looking at me,

I am, but I'm not going to answer him. I know it's a little childish, but still, not going to,

"Is it me or did that class last forever" Raven said,

"I know right, I'm hungry as fuck" I said

"I literally just asked who else was hungry" Drew said to me,

"So Raven, how was your class" I ignored him again,

Raven and Ben clearly sensed something because they both cleared their throats,

"So erm.. Raven remember that thing we were going to do at the erm.." Ben said clearly thinking of what to say next,

"Yeah,  erm that thing, I remember, we should go do it before it's too late" she said as she draged him away,

"Guys don't wait up, we'll meet you at the cafeteria" Ben said, letting Raven pull him away,

When they were finally out of sight Drew spoke;

"Did I do something wrong?" he asked,

I crossed my arms over my chest defensively "No"

"Then why are you ignoring me and geting all defensive?" he pointed at my crossed arms,

"I am not" I said dropping my arms,

Now he crossed his arms "really?"

"Fine, maybe I am, who cares" I said walking passed him annoyed at myself,

He pulled me back gently, "I do, what's wrong?"

I diverted my gaze so I was looking at the locker that was four fts behind him,

"Nothing, I just..." I drifted into a whisper

"What is it?"

I sighed "nothing, it's stupid"

"Tell me" he pushed,

I sighed again "I just, It's just- aahhh I don't know ok!, maybe because I'm feeling left out, or maybe because you spend so much time with Ben and Raven and not enough with me anym- why are you smiling?" I said, irritated at his smiling face,

"Are you jealous?" he asked, still smiling

"What!, no I'm not"

"Yes, you are"

"No!, do I look jealous" I asked crossing my arms,

"Yes you do"

I wanted to smack that smile out of his face,

"Stop smiling" I pushed his shoulders lightly

Making him chuckle a little "Sorry, it's just a little cute, that's all"

"uurgh" I walked pass him in annoyance "I'm too hungry to deal with you"

He chuckled again and caught up with me "lets go together"

*************

"So have you guys settled your.. weirdness?" Ben asked as we sat on our table, holding our lunch,

I gave him the sting eye "yes"

Raven just smiled as she sat next to Ben,

"So on that note, there's a party happening tomorrow, I think we should go" Drew said,

"A party?, who's?" Raven asked

"Stephen's, he invited us earlier on" Ben answer

"Oh, then I think we should, we deserve some fun" Raven smiled, obviously excited about the party

I on the other hand, was not.

Needless to say, I have never been to any party, well except the one's where its just Sonny, Raven and I, which could hardly be considered a party.

Don't get me wrong, It's not that I have never been invited or anything like that, I just never really wanted to go to them. Sonny and Raven always ended up going without me...

"Well?" Drew said looking at me

"Well what?" I questioned

"You're coming right?" I could see he wanted me to say yes

"I dont know, I dont thin-"

"Common, pleeaaassee" Ben pleaded

"Just this once" Raven added whilst giving me the puppy dog eyes

"Wait, 'just this once' You mean she's never been to a party?!," he asked suprised,

I rolled my eyes at him, so what? if I haven't,

"Now you have to come" he said,

I bit my lip and glanced at Drew for a second, does he really want me to g- stop it Amy!,

Maybe I should cons- I said stop it Amy!,

It doesn't matter if he wants us to go, we are not going, we will not give in,  we ar- wait who is 'we'?

"Pleeeaase"

Nope, na-uh, not gonna happen.

"Pleeeaassee!"

Noopee, Never, N to the no no no,

"Common Amy"

I won't cave in no matter who, I am stron-  "fine, lets all go" what the- when did I- why did I-, how did that slip out?,

urgh, whatever.

why I agreed to this is a mystery to me,

"Yes" Raven chirped

I rolled my eyes and started eating my food

All of a sudden, the cafeteria very noisy, it sounded like everyone was whispering something to the other, I looked up to see all eyes on me, well not exactly on me, on somthing behind me, more like 'someone' behind me,

When I turned to see who it was, I was as shocked as everyone else on the table,

It was Jane.

"Jane!, what are you doing here" I asked,

"Can I talk to you in private" she asked looking around,

"S-Sure" I said still in shock as I stood up,

"I'll be right back" I told the group,

As we walked out of the cafeteria the whispers became even louder,

We went somewhere quiet, into an empty class room,

"Hey.. what's going on, is every thing alright" I said,

She gave a weak smile "it will be"

"So erm.. I haven't seen you in like two weeks, there are rumours everywhere about it"

"N-not from me" I quickly added,

"Yeah, I know, you wouldn't do that" she said,

"Y-yeah" I agreed,

Then there was an awkward silence between us,

"I-I'm leaving this school" she stated.. break the silence,

That took me by suprise "what!"

"Yeah.. I came to pick up my things and clear things up with the school. I don't think I can be around here anymore" she looked around hugging herself,

I felt bad a little, we had our differences, but I honestly wish I could have helped her sooner, Before the deed was done, if possible,

"No need to look like that, besides my therapist said it would be good for me, I need a change of environment... and friends"

She is seeing a therapist? Is it that bad, ofcus it is!

"Yes, I'm seeing a therapist" she answered as if reading my thoughts,

"Will you be alright?, is there anything i can do to help" I was worried for some reason,

She smiled again "I will be fine, you've already done so much, you and your dad. I just- would you mind giving me your contact info.. so we can.. you know... talk somet-"

"Sure anytime, call or text I will gladly answer"

We exchanged numbers, email address and all social media info we shared,

Not long after she left, but not before promising to keep in touch,

I was left feeling a little down.. thinking of what she was going through was enough to do that.

I went back to the cafeteria with all eyes on me, when I sat back down I could tell everyone wanted to know what Jane and I talked about,

"So... what was that all about" I didn't even need to recognise the voice to know who asked the question..

Raven's eyes pierced me.. waiting for my answer to her question

"Don't worry about it.. nothing important"

It was clear I didn't really want to talk about it, and I guess everyone sensed it too

Don't get me wrong, It's not like I want to keep it a secret from my friends.. I just don't think it would be right to just start blabbing on about what we talked about just minutes after. Besides sooner or later they'll figure out she's not coming back

before the next period new rumours about Jane and I had gone round

God I hate this school.

***************

*

Night of the party*

"Common you guys, hurry up" Ben called out

"Coming!" Raven replied while applying her mascara

"Hurry up, we are already late" he yelled again

"I said we're coming, hold on!!" Raven replied, and yes she too was yelling

I could sense him grumbling

Raven and I were in her room while Ben and Drew were downstairs, we were all in Raven's house getting ready for the party, rather, waiting for Raven to get ready for the party.

Luckily her parents weren't home yet, they are both doctors.. well surgeons and I think there was an emergency so they had to stay in late, so the house was all ours, I told my dad I was having a sleepover at Ravan's.. what? I haven't him asked about parties before, what if he say no, I cant disappoint Dre- everyone after I promised to go, so yeah I lied.. anyways

I wore a not-too-short jeans shorts and a very oversized shirt,

well that WAS what I wearing less than sixty minutes ago, AKA before Raven saw me and dragged me upstairs with her

Now, I am wearing a black armless very cropped crop-top, coupled with button-up shirt to cover my overly exposed skin

As you've guessed, it wasn't easy for Raven and I to come to this agreement

You see, after entering her room, she begged me to change my shirt, which I denied, which led to a long argument, and when she realised we weren't getting anywhere, she brought out a scissor and threatened to tear it off, to which I caved in like a chicken, what? I really like this shirt, it's still too young to die

she then threw this rag on my face, saying it was 'better and cooler', yes I called it rag, it bearly covers my boobs for pete's sake!, who makes clothes like these, anyways one look at it and I told her it was never going to happen. She then sighed and proceeded to touch my weak spot which left me giggling and paralysed for thirty seconds and gave her enough time to slip the shirt on me, lol, did you think I was going to tell you what part of my body it was, I told Raven and look were it got me!

Anyways when I finally came back to my senses, I told her there was no way in hell I was leaving the house looking like this, the best I could give her was to were a button-up shirt and leave half of the shirt unbuttoned, which she disagreed to, so we ended up having a staring contest to see who would cave, in less than ten seconds her eyes started to water, so she gave in and said she would only agree to it if I left all the buttons unbuttoned

so.. yeah here we are, me wearing a rag and shirt sitting down watching Raven rush to apply all her makeup cause she wasted too much time on me and Ben telling us to hurry up cus we're late

After applying a red lipstick on her lip she handed it over to me, I applied some before giving it back to her

When she was finally done we started heading down the stairs, Drew and Ben were already at the do and had their backs facing us

"Girls common" Drew yelled "we need to leav- " he was cut of when he turned and saw us half way down the stairs

"Wow... you look so beautiful, it was definitely what the wait" Ben said before giving Raven a quick kiss on the lips

This made Ravens cheeks to reden a little "thanks, I would have looked alot better if you weren't yelling so much" she playfully smacked his arm

He smiled and wrapped his arm around her waist at the same time leaning in for another kiss "what are you talking about, you already look so beautiful to me with or without makeup,"

She giggled and pushed his face away "stop it" then she pecked his cheek making his smile widen

"Er erm" Drew cleared his throat, drawing my attention

"You changed" he said looking at my appearance

Great now I'm self concious "erm.. yeah, Raven made me, is it too much"

"No!, no its good, I like it" he said looking at my exposed skin

Badump badump badump... I hope my face isn't red

"T-thanks"

He cleared his throat again "ok guys lets go"

Current Time: 8:47 pm, friday

"Oh my Gosh, guys i have a feeling this is going to be an amazing party" Raven chirped

"I feel it too babe, maybe something good is going to happen" Ben added

Urgh... why do I have bad feeling about this

Time: 10:22 am, Saturday

I woke up hearing a loud thud sound, my head was banging, and the sun was shining way too bright.

What time is it, where am I, I looked around in confusion, Oh my God this is not my room, were are my clothes, whose shirt am I wearing!!

Some guy I didn't recognise walked into the room "Oh you're up, thank goodness, I thought I was going to have to wake you"

without any warning all the memories of last night flooded into my brain

My eyes widened in horror.. OH MY GOD!!, WHAT HAVE I DONE!
