One Step Closer (Sequel to OSAAT)

Chapter Twenty-Nine

Before Chapter A/N:

So, this chapter isn't even really needed... um, I don't think you really have to read it... I mean, it does explain things, but in a whole, the people included in this chapter will never know that the other peoples know...? So, this chapter is just for the reader's knowledge... basically. It's kind of an 'what happens in fight club, stays in flight club' ordeal. So, with that being said... enjoy this somewhat odd chapter that you weren't expecting most likely... yay!

Oh, and btw, the gif is correct... trust me. It's not a random burst of Teen Wolf love, it's important... (Whoa, thanks, Em. We wanted you to give so much away!)

OKAY, actually, you should probably read this because it explains A LOT and when you get near the end, it actually starts to talk about something else, and it will most likely be dragged into other chapters.

Lauren's POV

"So... how's your day been?" Ali asked me and I shrugged.

"Eventful." I said and looked in my rear view mirror. "They're following us."

"It was probably Ricky's idea." Ali said, rolling her eyes.

"It could've just as easily been Jack's idea."

"Jack isn't annoying." Ali said, looking down at her phone.

"Okay, what's up with you and Ricky?" I asked her. She shrugged, still looking down at her phone. I grabbed her phone and she looked at me.

"What?!"

"What. Is. Up. With. You. And. Ricky?" I asked and she rolled her eyes.

"He just... reminds me of someone." she said and reached for her phone. I slapped her hand away and my car swiveled a little. "Watch the road!"

"Tell me what your deal is!" I yelled.

"It doesn't matter!" she yelled back, still reaching for her phone. It vibrated in my hand and I looked at it. "No, sto-!"

"Why are you texting Niall?" I asked her and she grabbed her phone.

"I'm not... he's texting me and I'm not replying." she said and sighed.

"Oh, uh-huh?"

"Lauren, I'm actually not lying." she said and rubbed her face.

"You're lying about Ricky..." I said and she looked out the window. "Ali... can you just tell me? I won't get mad."

"Uh... Ricky... he happened to be at one of Jared Plank's parties..."

Jack's POV

"Why does Ali hate you so much?" Jack asked me and my eyes widened.

"Huh? I don't know. Why should I know? She's really judgemental." I said and looked down at my hands. "Like, really judgemental."

"Ricky, I will punch you."

"What did I do?!"

"I don't know! That's why you should tell me!" Jack said and I rolled my eyes.

"Look, all I'm going to say is that we didn't live that far away from Lauren and Ali and I might've met one of them before. End of story. Woo." I said and looked down at my phone.

"Ricky..." Jack said and I looked at him. "I've known you since I was two. Is there one particular story I don't know about?"

"I said end of story. And I used the word 'might've'. What's said is said, and I'm saying nothing more."
