silly girls & silly boys.

5 months have passed since the incident.
since jane's missing.
since she's been found.

5 months since mike was a dick to will.
5 months since jane finally got closer with will.
5 months since jane is closer with her family.

5 months since.
5 months.
5.

5.

————————————————————

its been five months since the whole incident.
jane has finally gotten better. she slowly, but independently (with a little help of course), got back on her feet.

during those five months, jane has not wanted to spend time with anyone, just at home all alone. except mike.

well, jane didn't want to spend time with mike as well, but he forced her.

jane barely spoke with max, whenever jane would leave her house and saw max, she'd walk the other way.

max has gotten so confused, even tried asking will what's up, but no one knows.

jane dosent want to talk with anyone after the incident. she's closed off. way, too closed off.

JANE'S POV:

the phone rang downstairs, and i rolled my eyes as i was sketching in my notebook on my bed.

„jane, can you get it? i'm busy!" i hear will exclaim from his room.

„alright!" i call out, as i sigh, and get off my bed and run my hand through my shoulder length hair and walk downstairs.

i walk into the hallway and stand by the wall, staring at the telephone on the wall.

i take a deep breath and roll my eyes, before i smile and pick up the phone, trying to sound as nice as possible.

„hello?", i say into the telephone.

„why have you been ignoring my calls?"

„what? mike?"

„why have you been ignoring my calls, jane?"

oh my God.

„i've just been busy, with.. family stuff. why? did you need me or something?"

„i told you to always answer my calls. why can't you at least do one thing for me, without me having to tell you to do it, huh?"

take a deep breath in, and exhale.
deep breath in, and exhale.
breath in, and exhale.
exhale.
exhale.
exhale.

„jane?"

i gasp for air, and gulp quietly, as i answer.

„uh, yeah?"

„the hell were you doing?"

„nothing, nothing. what do you want, mike?"

„i want to see you tomorrow again."

i roll my eyes and try not to sound irritated.

„mike, we've hung out five times this week already and it's only wednesday-„

„tomorrow, jane."

i stay silent before i mumble into the phone.

„can will come too?"

„what?" i can hear the confusion and the irritation in his voice.

„can will come with us?"
