Rachel's POV

My phone buzzed from the nightstand beside the bed and I reached for it without taking my eyes off the tv. Jc had his head nuzzled into my shoulder as he continued to watch the show playing. I unlocked my phone and looked at the message I got.

Unknown Number: i know what you and grayson did.

I instantly froze, my stomach turning at the words I read. I knew Grayson was here for more than just Davina, he wanted to take me down, too.

I guess Jc noticed my nervous behavior because he picked his head up and looked at my phone. "Why the hell did Sienna text you?" He asked.

"How do you know it's her?" I asked him while trying to seem calm.

"I used to have her contact when she dated Kian, I recognized the number." He explained then squinted his eyes after reading the message. "What did you and that prick do?"

I shook my head, "Nothing. She's probably just making shit up to cause drama." I lied.

He seemed to believe me and turned back to the show. I stared at my screen and hesitantly started typing.

Rachel: i don't know what you're talking about.

She responded soon after, like she was waiting for me to give into her little plan.

Sienna: grayson told me himself. you can't deny it, rachel.

Rachel: what do you want?

Sienna: i want you to play by my rules. when i need you to do something, you do it. if you refuse, then your secret gets spilled.

Rachel: why do you need my help?

Sienna: you're davina's sister and jc's girlfriend, you can provide valuable information.

Rachel: why the fuck are you talking like a fucking spy or some shit?

Sienna: just do what I say.

The next day, I was so on edge and Davina kept asking me if I was okay. Of course I lied and said I was fine, and I'm sure she believed me, but I'm still scared that she'll find out what I did. She would never be able to look me in the eye again.

Pretending to be okay wasn't easy, but I could manage it. I was anxious about what Sienna and Grayson wanted me to do because I know they want to hurt my friends and my sister. But my secret would hurt them more than whatever they have planned.

"Babe, you good?" Jc's voice released me from my thoughts. I glanced up at him and smiled.

"Yeah, of course. Just got lost in a daydream, I guess." I picked up my plastic fork and began picking at my salad. Everyone returned to their previous conversation which seemed to center around prom.
