NOW, KAELYN HAD ONE MYSTERY SOLVED. However, the affections of a boy were probably the least of her problems. Not that she was unhappy she had a (kind-of) boyfriend. They weren't really discussing labels they both had much bigger things to worry about. One of those things being the apparent supervillains running rampant in Manhatten. Not to mention the fact that after a few days hiatus, her amateur murder investigation was back on. At three in the morning after their night on the rooftop, Peter had snuck back into Kaelyn's apartment to help her reassemble her murder board. This time on her wall instead of the inside of her closet so it was much more organized than before. If Caden tried to get mad she would simply pack it up and leave again. She was over letting her brother control her like this. She was close enough to eighteen to be able to make at least some of her own decisions.
Now, a lot had happened in the past forty-eight hours, Kaelyn thought she would be able to expect most things that could happen. However, she did not expect to hear knocking on her window as the hands on her alarm clock were ticking towards morning. The noise awoke her so suddenly she yelped and fell out of bed.
There was the sound of faint laughter and she saw Beth outside her window, giggling at Kaelyn's misfortune. The redhead rolled her eyes before walking over to the window and unlocking it.
"What's up, Beth? It's been a while since you darkened my fire escape," she mused, her eyes still somewhat blurry and her voice groggy from sleep.
"You weren't texting me back!" Beth whisper-yelled as she climbed into the apartment.
"I was asleep!" the redhead defended herself, looking at her best friend in disbelief. "It's like three in the morning!"
Beth scoffed, "Please, it's only like two-fifty! Now, back to my emergency! Guess who called me crying because the boy she liked was dating someone else? Ahem, Liz Allan!"
"Didn't you comfort her at the party anyway? Why'd she call?" Kaelyn asked, crawling back into bed with her back against the wall and the covers just covering her legs.
"I attempted to, but she was pretending to be fine and I knew that wasn't true so I very subtly took my chance and gave her my number and told her that if there was anything she wanted to talk about I was totally there and bam! At one, I get a phone call and it's Liz! Her voice is like totally broken and this girl has definitely been crying and I asked her what was wrong and she said she didn't want to be affected by you and Peter dating, but she definitely was. Anyway, I told her that the best thing to do is move on because if you and Peter last it's going to break her so basically I have a favor! I need you and Peter to pretend to date long enough to make sure Liz is over him and into me! Got it, thank you so much, I love you, and you're an amazing best friend! Also, how are things with Caden? Is everything okay?"
