||Chapter 15||

While walking hand-in-hand with Carlos towards the group, I saw a small brunette wearing a light blue romper sitting at the table by herself.

"Who's that?" I asked Carlos while pointing to the girl.
He visibly gulped. "Uh, that's, um, that's Jane."
"Hmm, be right back!"
"Wait- Hailey!"

"Hi! I'm Hailey! Are you Jane? I've heard so much about you, but not everything. Tell me about yourself. Specifically, how do you know Carlos?" I sat down across from her while violently shaking her hand.

"You've got quite the grip-"
"So I've heard, anyway, answer my questions." I gave her a hard stare.

"Okay! Hey Jane. Um, this is Hailey." Carlos quickly sat down next to me.

A look of recognition came upon Jane's face as he introduced me. "Oh! Is that what you said? I couldn't really understand what you were saying, you kinda went off a bit..." Her voice got lower as I continued to stare at her, while making my eyes bluer and my hair glow slightly. I got up and sat down on Carlos's lap while wrapping my arms tightly around him.

"Oh... you don't have to worry about me, uh, well, 'stealing' him. We're just good friends!"
"Aw honey, you're not the one I'm worrying about."

"Okay," Mal got everyone's attention, "so, we all think that Audrey could be at Fairy Cottage." She looked at Ben. "Did she ever take you there?"

"Every Fairy Godmother's Day. Where's Fairy Godmother when you need her?"

Everyone looked at Jane. "I wish I knew."

"Well, we should probably find out. Someone go with it to go find her."
"Hailey."
"Oh- sorry! It just slipped out. I'm sorry, Jane."

"Alright, Doug, go with Jane to find Fairy Godmother." Ben said as they both nodded.

Uma got a good look at Doug. "They might need some muscle." I snorted at her observation. "Hey!"

"Well, I'll go." Gil flexed his arms.

"Yeah, actually I would feel better."
"I'd feel better too."
"Same."
"Me too, and I kinda hate J- ow! I mean, yeah me too."

"Actually, I would, too." Doug confessed.
"Alright man, let's do it." Gil put his arms around Jane and Doug as they walked off.

We all got up and went in the opposite direction of them, following Ben.

"Hailey, can we talk?" Evie asked me.
"Uh, sure." I replied. "I'll be right back." I told Carlos as he kissed me on the head and walked over to Jay.

"I-... I'm-... no..." She tried to speak, but had a hard time thinking of the right words.

"Evie, just say whatever you want to say. I'll probably not hurt you for it."

She chuckled, but her demeanor soon changed. "I have no idea how this happened. Well, that's a lie. This all started of course, when you couldn't come to Auradon with us."

I looked down, remembering the feeling of abandonment and betrayal. "Yeah, that wasn't fun."

"We said we'd come back soon. We never did-"
"Don't blame yourself for that. That's not what I'm angry about."

She blinked back tears and continued. "But then we left you. Again. For even longer. We asked Ben, and like usual, 'I'll get to it Evie. There's are more important matters at hand. After taking care of that I will'. That's what he would say to me. Every time."

I nodded. "I know. Carlos told me."
She sniffled. "Then I stopped believing I'd see you again. Until I realized about the program. I was ecstatic. I mean, I thought we'd pick you and we'd finally all be together again. But, Ben said we could only bring four VKs, and each of us could pick one. And Hailey, I couldn't leave Dizzy there. You understand that, right?"

"Of course I understand that, Evie. Continue."

"So I thought that Mal would pick you. But, she picked Celia instead-"
"Wait. She what?"

I stopped and she looked back at me. "Mal had the option to choose me, and she didn't?" Evie nodded. "Are you kidding? She told me that I slipped your minds!"

Evie shook her head with wide eyes. "I would never! And neither would Carlos or Jay. You know that."

"She told me that Carlos would never, so I just assumed all three of you did." I sighed. "Evie, I'm so sorry. I can't believe I thought that."

"It's okay. I understand. You had every right to."

I started walking after noticing how far back we were and Evie followed suit.

"Should I continue to apologize, or are we-"
"We're good. Me and Mal, not so much."
