Chapter 23

"It makes sense doesn't it Jes?" Jade asked as she showed Jesy some Maths before class that Tuesday. They had a test today.

Jesy was trying not to fall asleep at Jade's explanations. "Adorable but I think I got this one in the bag." She popped the collar of her green jacket then moved back to her seat. She'd been sitting next to Jade for that little tutoring session.

"Really?" Jake asked appearing in Leigh's seat next to Jesy.

Jesy jumped. "How on earth did you . . ." She gave him a tap on the cheek. "Get outta my girl's seat you weirdo."

Jake snickered. "Leigh's your girl now? What does that mean Jes?"

Jesy blushed then gave him a light shove at the chest. She was about to punch him but she heard the sound of Leigh saying good morning to all of them. Jesy smiled at her then pushed Jake out of her chair. "Morning Lee-Lee."

Leigh-Anne helped Jake to his feet then sat in her seat next to Jesy. "You didn't have to push him Jes." She said with a little chuckle.

Jesy waved it off. "That was nothing to him. Don't worry." She winked at Jake as he rolled his eyes and walked to his seat. "So how was Sairah? Did she do anything bad when she came home?"

Leigh-Anne froze a bit as she put her Math book on her desk. "Actually . . ."

Jesy's eyes got wide. "What did she do?!" She asked loudly.

Leigh told her to quiet down. She rubbed her arm awkwardly now. "She came into my room and . . ."

"Hit you?" Jesy whispered.

Leigh-Anne shook her head. "I was only in a towel and well . . . she put her fingers in and sort of tickled my ribs a bit I guess. Th-then after she . . . touched my boobies but she always does that."

Jesy was grinding her teeth together. "The bitch f*cking molested you?" She stood. "Did you tell your Mum?"

Leigh-Anne pulled her down to sit. "N-no . . . she said that if I do that then she'll hurt herself."

"Let her do it then. She's a creep anyway." Jesy said with folded arms.

Leigh shook her head. "I don't want her to Jes. I think she's very confused. She says she wants to show me love and that's the only way she knows how."

Jesy was cringing a bit. "I think she needs to see more specialists." This sounded very serious.

Leigh-Anne sighed. "Yes. She definitely does but I'm more than certain that she'd cut off her hands if I tell anyone. I don't want her to do that at all so . . ."

"So you won't tell anyone and make the situation worse?" Jesy asked with wide eyes.

Leigh-Anne flinched a bit at that. "I-I'll fix it. I'll tell her how she should show me love and then everything will be fine. I promise."

Jesy eyed her nervously. "I don't know. I feel like if we're not gonna get any adults involved that I should at least talk to her. She might listen to me since she seems to like me or whatever." She said remembering the flowers.

Leigh-Anne nodded. "Yeah. You should talk to her. You can help me to help her Jes." She smiled small. "I just hope she doesn't hurt you or anything." She opened her text book to go over a few things they had coming up in their test.

Jesy grunted. "I won't let her." She watched Leigh-Anne read through her Math book. "After school?"

"If she's at home we can try." Leigh said. She was happy that Jesy was willing to keep this a secret and help her instead. The girl was the best friend anyone could ask for.
