"𝐆𝐎𝐃, 𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀. 𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 tell me that you had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Montgomery was arrested last night?"

Scott sat in front of Nessa on her bed as she got ready for school that morning. Truth be told, school was the last place that she wanted to go this morning, because she got maybe one hour of sleep last night, if that.

After Ani had bombarded her at the coffee shop during her own reflection time, she had no choice but to tell her the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It was the hardest thing she had ever done. Of course, she required that Ani call both Jessica and Justin before she told her anything. Their presence alone made her ten times more comfortable while she told her story. By the end of it, they had come up with a plan, and a damn good one at that.

"No." Nessa replied as she sat next to Scott on her bed. "He did that all on his own."

"Why's the paper say it's for sexual assault?" Scott questioned her, and Nessa sighed. She had to tell him. She had to tell him everything, there was go getting around it anymore. Because, if everything was going to work out exactly as it was supposed to, all of the moving parts had to be in place. Scott Reed was one of those moving parts.

Nessa took a deep and shaky breath as she grabbed both of Scott's hands into her own, squeezing them.

"I need to tell you something." Nessa finally said, looking straight into his soft brown eyes. "A lot of somethings, actually. It's dark shit, and it's the worst thing I've ever done. I'm telling you because you deserve to know, and I think I'm falling in love with you, and I can't stand that you don't know this about me. If you want to leave afterwards, never speak to me again, I get that. But please, let me tell you first."

"𝐃𝐈𝐃 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 it?" Justin asked as Nessa walked into the copy room, Scott in tow behind her. She handed Justin the tape with one hand as she kept the other entangled in Scott's who pressed a kiss to her head.

"Listen to me." Justin told her as he shoved the parcel into his jacket pocket. "Scott and I will get this taken care of, don't worry about a thing."

Scott walked over to Justin, grabbing the package from him as they tried to determine how the hell they were going to figure all of this out.

Nessa nodded as she took a shaky breath, looking at both of the boys in front of her. She cared so much about both of them, and she couldn't believe that she had done something bad enough to have to involve both of them. She was worried as shit. "I love you, both of you, and I don't want anything to happen to either of you. I'm so scared."

Jessica wrapped an arm around her, pulling Nessa's head into her shoulder. "No, don't be scared, Ness."

Justin looked over at his best friend, a hopeful look in his eyes. "Do you believe in me? I mean, do you really believe in me?"
