disclaimers: I dont own ggbb and my family hates me
he wasn't actually eating but who was amaris to call Conner out when she was doing the same as he was, only shoving the food around on their plates. probably- definitely- not for the same reason, but still they were both not eating. it almost brought amaris comfort knowing that she wasn't alone in this, but the guilt nagged at her because she knew that he wasn't eating because of the comments, oppinons, and theories. she had felt with her fair share of strangers who needed to mind they're business.
zach and pip had noticed too. and cara, which was why she was trying to engage him in conversation- trying and failing. it pissed amaris ooff to no end that the only ones who hadn't noticed was ant- conners supposed best friend and Lauren. they were huddled together giggling and laughing to each other not to mention how ant acted indifferant to jamie being missing.
amaris had to chew on her lip to stop herself from snapping at the couple- something she had done several times recently, as she held her sharp tongue back cara offered a KitKat to Conner who took it with a small smile. and cara smiled back before smiling at amaris before tom nowak appeared at the head of the table.
"hi," tom waves, he was Laurens ex-boyfriend, they'd breaker up the previous summer.
"ugh" Lauren interrupts "what do you want?" amaris nearly scowled, now she would pay attention?
"nothing, I just need to talk to pip and mari about something."
"sure," ant butts in "any excuse to come over to our table, right?"
"no, it's . . .i have some information." tom says to mari and pip
"no one wants you here. go away," ant huffs and Lauren smile making amaris let out a groan
"i'm not talking to you," tom snaps "it's about Jamie Reynolds."
conners head jerks up and pip gesture for him to stay put
"oh, sure," ant sneers.
"get a grip ant, no-ones impressed except for Lauren and thats not saying much" amaris snaps and stands with amaris guiding tom outside.
"let's talk over here," pip gestures to a low wall that amaris frequently sat on waiting for ravi to pick her up. "so, what information do you have about Jamie?"
"it's about the night he went missing," tom says
"really? have you listened to the first episode? we released it last night." pip questions
"no, not yet," he replies
"I only ask because we've built up a timeline of Jamie's movements last Friday. We know he was at the calamity party from 9:16 p.m. and left the area around 10:32 p.m., if that's where you saw him." pips words were met by toms blank stare and armies stepped in to explains
"what pip means is, we already have that information so if thats what you were going to say....." amaris trailed off
"no, it's something else." tom shakes his head. "I wasn't at the calamity party, but I saw him. After that."
"you did? After 10:32?" pip was on alert now
"yes," Tom says with a nod "It was after that."
"how long?" amaris asks
"um, maybe fifteen minutes, or twenty," tom shrugs
"so, around 10:50 p.m.?" pip supplies
"yeah. that sounds about right." tom agrees nodding his head
pip leaned forward some waiting for him to continue but after a minute or two armies are annoyed, "and?" amaris snaps "where'd you see him? Was it somewhere near where the party was?"
"yeah, it was that road, um, what's it called . . . oh, cross lane," as he spoke amaris' brain supplied her with one name. Nat da Silva. nat and her parents lived on cross lane
"you saw Jamie on Cross Lane at 10:50 p.m.?" pip asks
"yeah, I saw him, in a burgundy shirt and white trainers. I pacifically remember that."
"specifically" amaris corrects
"why were you there at that time?" pip sends her sister a look
"just going home from a friend's house." tom shrugs
"and what was Jamie doing?" pip asks
"he was walking." tom shrugs "walked past me."
"oK. and was he on the phone when he walked past you?" pip questions
"no, don't think so. no phone." tom words irrupted amaris.
"you dont think so?" she grumbles getting a glare from pip
"what else did you see? Did it look like he was heading somewhere? Maybe a house?"pip continues her questioning
"yeah," tom nod
"yeah, what?" amaris almost snaps
"a house. he was walking to a house, like maybe halfway up the lane." tom answers eying amaris warily
"how do you know he was heading to a house?" pip asks
"because I saw him. go into a house,"
"which house?" amaris sighs, every second she questioned Laurens taste in men more and more
"uh it was late, I wasn't looking at the numbers. Didn't see." tom shrugs and amaris murmur 'convient'
"well, can you describe what the house looked like at all? what colour was the front door?" pip asks on edge
"um, I think it was white." tom says but when pip relaxes, relieved it wasnt nats house he quickly says "wait! actually I remember now it wasn't white. I-it was- was bl-blue- yea blue"
"white-bricked house? Vine on one side?" pip asks. nats house.
"yeah, that's the one. I saw Jamie going into that house." tom nods
"did you see anyone else? Who was at the door?" pip questions
"no. Just saw him go in."
but that didnt make sense, nat said she never saw him and for some reason nat wanted to believe nat over tom. but the original plan was for Jamie to go to her house.
so maybe he did, maybe just maybe her showed up but then why would nat lie? and if she didnt why would tom lie?
A/N
heyyyy its me dont hate me pls I just still have no phone and low motivation :(
