Bitch Be Gone

Chapter 14: You Say Your Just a Friend

Grant's P.O.V.

The room was quiet as a mouse. My mind was rushing with tons and tons of thoughts. Not only was I thinking about what the cops were asking and telling Bri, but also the fact that the girl who I was sitting beside I wanted nothing to do with. Jenn and I had a pretty intense time together at Claire's party. I was honestly quite proud of myself for making a move. The next day I decided to call Jenn and ask her to come over to my house since she lived so close. Before I knew it, I heard a knock at my front door.

"Hello..." I glanced down smiling as I opened up the door.

Jenn looked absolutely stunning despite the fact that she was only wearing a softball t-shirt and a black pair of Nike shorts. Her smooth black hair was pulled back in a thick braid. She smiled at me, but for some reason she looked a bit out of it.

"Hey, I..." She began.

"Do you wanna come in?" I could feel my face turning bright red. When I get nervous I tend to talk... a lot.

"My bad." I quickly corrected myself.

Jenn began to shake her head, "No, no it's fine! I just..." She looked down at the ground and messed with her hands nervously.

"What is it?" I questioned.

"I just need to talk to you..." She responded quietly.

"Oh okay, I need to talk to you too," She looked up at me with a look mixed with hope and fear. I could feel my palms growing sweaty. I was planning on asking Jenn out. Deep down I was hoping that what she needed to talk about was quick so I could pop the question before I changed my mind.

"Uhh.. you first..." She sheepishly said with a faint smile on her face.

"Okay, well, maybe you should come inside...?" She began to nod her head back and forth slowly. Damn it, I probably looked like a complete idiot... She probably thought I was such a loser... I tried to remember what Andrea had told me before, though, 'Don't psych yourself out'.

"No, I - I have to go soon because my mom wants me home for dinner..."

"Oh um, okay, well, Jenn, I have really liked you for a long time and... last night was great and all but..." I began.

"But...?" Her face was turning pale for some odd reason.

"But... I think I like you more now, and last night wasn't enough for me." I lightly laughed at how creepy that sounded, "Jenn Nicole Caylen, will you be my girlfriend?" I finally built up the courage to make eye contact with Jenn. Her face had a look of shock on it, but she was trying her best to cover it up with a smile.

"I... I can't..." For a second I thought she might be joking, but after a minute I realized she was being serious.

She continued on with excuses such as, 'it's just not a good time' and 'I don't want to ruin the amazing friendship we have', but I knew they were all BS. The simple fact was that Jenn didn't like me as anything more than a friend, and I looked like a complete idiot. To her, our kiss was just another spin the bottle kiss. I was nothing but a good friend in her eyes. I hadn't spoken to her since then, not even at school, so there I was sitting next to the girl I had gotten rejected by. I dared not to look at her because if I did, not only would I feel embarrassment, but I would also be reminded of the painfully strong feelings I had for her.

Suddenly, the cold silence of the room was broken by the door swinging open. In came Nathan and Laney who were soon followed by another police officer. I yawned and glanced down at my watch. It was already 9:56.

Josh's P.O.V.

I bit my nails nervously as the other officer walked in.

"Josh Martinez, can we speak to you?" I glanced down at the ground, but quickly got up from chair.

"Of course!" I pressed my lips together forming a closed smile. Inside, though, my heart was beating 1000 miles per hour. My stomach felt as if it was doing back flips. My mind continued to worry as I follwed the officer out of the room, but I finally came to a conclusion. There's no way anyone could've known what I had done. Nobody could've seen me, right? I tried my best to convince myself everything was going to be okay, but deep down I knew everything was about to fall apart. Could they really know I had something to do with Andrea's disappearance?
