Missing: Rachel Amber

Chapter 7

"Ronnie, please don't do anything you'll regret, but the gun down." Courtney said in fear and she stared at the barrel aimed at everyone. "Come on Jenna, get up." Stella said as she helped Jenna off of the ground. "The news could be fake, let's just deal with this first." Dana said. "I wanna know why you're on my property." Ronnie said with an angry look on his face. "We wanna know why you were friends with Rachel, we found pictures of her with you, you drugged her." Jenna said in anger. "She came to me and I hooked her up just fine, now she owes me money and she's gone. So, my only choice is to kill her when I see her, but I'm beginning to highly doubt she's even alive. Her boyfriend Nathaniel was just reported missing too, yet another person who owes me money, I guess I could just kill him too." Ronnie replied as he set the shotgun down on the table on his porch. "All we want is answers, that's it." Jenna said as she stared at Ronnie. "All I can say is that they owe me money big time, it's apart of my rules, and they should've followed so they have to face the consequences. I'm not sorry about it, I'm gonna find them and I'm gonna kill both of them, and I'll be sure to kill anyone who gets in my way." Ronnie said as he walked back inside his house. "Come on, let's just get out of here." Taylor said as she walked over to the car as Juliet followed her. "He didn't answer me question." Jenna yelled in anger as she stomped onto his porch and opened his front door. "What?!" Ronnie yelled as he came back outside. "Tell me right now. What did you do to Rachel?" Jenna screamed in anger. "None of your business." Ronnie said as he shoved Jenna off the porch causing her to fall, and he slammed the door right behind her. "Are you ok?" Juliet asked as she helped Jenna up. Blood began dropping down Jenna face. "I'm fine, let's just go the hell home." Jenna replied as she got into the car with the rest of the girls.

Jenna pulled into the driveway of her house and got out of the car as quickly as she could, not saying a single word to the girls. "Jenna, come on. Wait up." Juliet said as chased after her into the house, as the four other girls followed her. "He's so dead, I promise." Jenna said in anger as she kicked the wall. "Just calm down, we're gonna get him." Stella said as she calmed Jenna down. "He's obviously not gonna help us, we need to get it out of him some other way." Courtney said as she sat down on the couch in the living room. "Torchere him." Taylor said jokingly with a laugh. "Sounds good to me." Jenna replied quickly. "I actually meant that as a joke." Taylor said with her eyes widened with shock. "We need to get the answers out of him somehow. Don't worry, we're gonna figure all of this out, okay?" Juliet said as she smiled at Jenna. "I want all of this to be over already." Jenna said.

Juliet, Dana, Taylor, Courtney, and Stella all decided to have a sleep over at Juliet's house. "Don't you guys kinda think we're to old for this stuff?" Stella asked with a laugh. "Were never to old for this stuff." Juliet replied with a serious look on her face. "Where's Jenna? Didn't you invite her?" Courtney asked with a confused tone in her voice. "I didn't think she was up for a sleepover not after everything that just happened. She's not ready for anything fun , I'm worried she'll never be able to do anything fun ever again." Juliet replied. "I feel sorry for her. She's so hopeless and we can't do a single thing about it." Dana said with a sad tone in her voice. "I just really really miss Rachel guys, I wish she was here with us." Courtney said. "I know, we all do, Court." Juliet replied.

The next morning, Jenna pulled into the parking lot of the library, and walked up the steps leading to the doors. As she walked in she saw many people using the computers, and on the right she saw a group of people reading books and magazines. As she went upstairs to the next floor, she went down the aisle to find a book to keep her busy for the next few days. As she looked up, she saw a girl looking straight at her. "Sorry, I didn't mean to stare." She said as she began looking at the book in her hands. "No, it's okay." Jenna replied as she began walking up and down the aisle. "I know who you are, you probably just don't know me. I'm sorry for what you're going through. I'm Brooke." She said with a smile as she shook Jenna's hand. "Thank you. It's hard, but I'm getting through it one step at a time." Jenna replied with a smile. "I can help you." Brooke said as she stared into Jenna's eyes. "Help me with what exactly?" Jenna asked with a confused look on her face. "Finding Rachel. I have my connections with people, and plus, I was also valedictorian of my class." Brooke said with a laugh. "Yeah, I've heard of you, you sure aren't no dummy. Here's my number." Jenna said as she slipped Brooke a piece of paper. "I'll be sure to talk to you soon." Brooke as she fixed the glasses on her face, and went her own way.

As Courtney and Dana walked onto Jenna's porch and knocked on the door, Kathleen opened it up. "Hi, is Jenna home?" Courtney asked with a smile. "She's actually on her way home from the library, where's the rest of the clan?" Kathleen asked with a laugh. "Their on their way too." Dana replied with a laugh. "Come on in, she'll be here shortly." Kathleen said as she moved aside, and both of the girls walked into the house and sat down on the couch. As Courtney looked around the house, she saw a picture of Jenna and Rachel together when they were kids, they were both dressed in pirate costumes. "Such a nice picture. Also such a shame." Dana said with pity as she stared at the picture looking how close of friends Jenna and Rachel used to be. "Sucks to say those days are over." Courtney said as they heard a knock on the door, Cathleen answered it, and Juliet and Stella walked into the living room and sat next to Courtney and Dana. "Where's Taylor?" Stella asked with a confused look on her face. "Probably with Logan, why don't you invite them over?" Courtney asked. "On it." Juliet said as she whipped out her phone and sent a text as quickly as she could. "Hey girls, Jenna will be here soon." Cathleen said from the kitchen. "Do you guys really think Rachel is dead?" Stella asked quietly hoping Cathleen wouldn't her hear gossiping. "I don't think she is. I know she's out there somewhere, it's fishy that they think she's dead. I doubt a tragic fire would stop her and Nathan." Dana said as she checked her phone for a text from Jenna, but there was nothing. "Let's just not talk about this when Jenna comes, please." Juliet said as they heard the front door open, and Jenna walked into the room with Brooke behind her. "Hi Jenna!" Courtney said with a smile. "Hi everyone, this is Brooke. I'm sure you all know her, she's a smart cookie and she's gonna help us out with finding Rachel." Jenna said with smile as Brooke gave a shy wave to everyone in the room. "Welcome to the clan!" Juliet said with a laugh. "I'm sure happy to be here, now, let's get to business." Brooke said as she sat down on the couch. "Before we start, can we wait for Taylor?" Dana asked. "Were better off waiting for her, it's only fair she knows what's going on too." Jenna said as she looked at everyone in the room. "She just texted me that she's here." Juliet said as they heard the front door open and Taylor walked in with her boyfriend Logan. "Hey guys, hope you don't mind I brought my boyfriend here, he won't bother anyone." Taylor said with a smile as she sat down next to everyone. "Sup guys." Logan said.

As everyone sat around in the living room for 3 hours straight, they began to come up with plans for Rachel. "This is all gonna work out guys, I promise you. But things are gonna get dangerous, and I need each and every one of you to help, even you Logan." Brooke said with a serious look on her face. "We all need to stick together and help each other out, or this will never work out, and Rachel will never be found." Jenna said with a confident smile on her face. "Alright, cheers." Juliet said as she raised a cup in the air as everyone else did. "To finding Rachel." Jenna said with a smile on her face as everyone clinked drinks together and smiled.
