Buried Feelings.

24. Alyssa

I got home to see Scottie's car parked outside my house. I pull in beside his car and get out hurrying to the front door. This is bad... This is very bad. What is he doing here? Opening the front door I could hear voices coming from the kitchen so I follow them only to see Scottie and Jessica talking in the kitchen. It sounded like an intense conversation.

"I didn't tell her anything, not that she would even listen to me" Jessica says both hands on the island.

Jessica was here too I saw her car outside. It wasn't hard to miss. It was a cherry red BMW that her dad brought her for her 18th birthday in January.

"Then what are you doing here and why isn't she answering my calls?" Scottie's voice was heard next. I stepped a little closer.

"She's my Bestfriend Scottie I come over all the time. I practically live here most days and besides she's mad at me missing our night last night so I'm here to talk to her" Jessica answered sadness evident in her voice "I can't lose her Scottie so I wouldn't tell her" I stopped at the kitchen door as leaned against it.

What wouldn't they tell me? They don't even know each other do they? Oh wait... Of course they know each other we all grew up together, but what are they keeping from me?

"And by the way you left your phone at the party last night in the room" Jessica says sliding the device across the counter to him "I found it under my clothes and by my shoes"

Something in my stomach dropped. So that's how they came across from each other. They were both at the party last night. So instead of answering my calls they ignored me on my birthday. Oh they are just fantastic friends right... Not, note the sarcasm, but wait Jessica said she found his phone under her... Oh god they didn't... She didn't...

Oh I think she did Alyssa. I think Jessica and Scottie had sex at that party last night and that's why she missed the birthday night in we had planned, but she wouldn't... She wouldn't have bailed on me for the guy I used to have a crush on would she? Let's find out how much of a Bestfriend red head really is.

"What you guys doing here?" I interrupt pushing myself off of the wall and walking further into the kitchen.

"Alyssa hey" Jessica says first worry flashing through her expressions.

"I'll ask you again what you doing here?"

"You were mad at me on the phone and I wanted to come and make it up to you"

"And Scottie?"

"I came to see you before I left to go home again" He answers giving me a small smile "I knocked and Jessica answered... Your Mum and sister are out shopping" I just nod walking around the island eyeing the two up.

I have my red head Bestfriend who looked guilty for something she wish she had never done and then I have my other blond Bestfriend who was trying to hide something from me behind that smile he had on his face and it looks like they aren't going to tell me what's going on.

Doesn't mean I won't find out.

"Okay well I'm not 5 anymore Scottie and we aren't back in secondary school anymore Jessica so cut the crap and tell me what you two were talking about before I walked in" I watched as they both looked at each other. Guilty expressions all over their faces. I noticed Jessica started to get teary eyed and my heart hammered against my chest as worry and fear moved itself into my body "You have 30 seconds before I kick you both out, so spill"

"Lyssa..." Jessica started looking at Scottie who's eyes went wide with fear as she spoke "I met Scottie at the party last night and Eh... I didn't make it here because we Eh... Scottie and I did something really bad and we both regret it and it shouldn't have happened and please don't hate me"
