Meg: I think we should meet up soon! We could really go explore these haunted places! Just like our favorite shows..
Jessie: Well yeah! That would be so rad!
Meg: Awesome! Are you free this weekend or is the warden making you sit on the twerp?

"Jessie?? Hello... Earth to Jessica!"
Jessie snapped out of her daze, realizing Rebecca was standing beside her on the stopped bus. "Don't call me that..." Jessie demanded as she left her seat and walked towards the front of the bus. "Okay diva next time I'll let you sit there and miss our stop!" Rebecca replied as she pushed her way pass Jessie and into the house.
Jessie stood in the driveway, trying to come up with the courage to get out of watching Rebecca this weekend; she knew if she didn't ask now... She'd never get out of it.
When 12am rolled around Jessie's mom slumped in from the late shift at the hospital; Rebecca had already fallen asleep and Jessie was waiting on the couch, her nerves started building up as the front door closed.
"Mom..." she called out to the dark hallway in front of her "What are you doing up Jess? You have school tomorrow" her mother asked in a low tired tone. "I was waiting for you, can I ask you something?"
Jessie's mom sat down on the couch;  Jessie laid her head down on her lap, with tears in her eyes, and a lump in her throat she choked up the words to ask " Can I please go out this weekend? I know that I'm supposed to watch Rebecca but please mom?"

Meg: Jess?
Meg: Hello??
Meg: Ughh! You chickened out!
Meg: God! Goodnight Jess...
Jessie: .... I can go!

When the weekend rolled around Jessie couldn't contain her excitement, she was finally getting to meet Meg.

Jessie: My mom leaves at 5pm so I can meet you at the Garfield Park on 58th Street @ 5:30!
Meg: Sweet! Sure you don't want me to pick you up?
Jessie: Satan spawn will snitch...

Jessie at on the bench facing the street, she couldn't wait to finally see Meg; was she going to be as awesome in person? Right when Jessie was about to pull out her phone to text Meg, someone grabbed her from behind causing her to fall off the bench. Jessie panicked. Why had she been so stupid? Why did she come here alone? What was going to happen to her? Why couldn't she scream?
Just as Jessie thought she was a goner, she heard a high pitch laugh coming from behind her; as she turned around to see who it could be Meg bursted into a uncontrollable laugh that landed her on the ground beside Jessie.
"I thought I was dead!" Jessie huffed as she laid flat on the ground.

Back in Megs car the girls looked up haunted places around that they could investigate; when finally deciding they took off on their adventure, talking about everything in the world like they've known each other their whole lives. Jessie could tell she was safe with Meg; Megs a rad ass 19 year old, who wears leather boots and drives a awesome sports car.

"Jessie, wait up I'm sorry!" Meg yelled as she chased after her. Jessie stopped but didn't turn around; instead she kept her head down, she didn't know what to think. "How could Meg?" She thought "We're suppose to be friends..."
