The reconnect

“Jessica, I need to talk to you”Kathy whispered ”What do you want, Kathy? I've told you already to stop talking to me. you’ve caused enough trouble in my life". "Ok look i'm sorry, i didn't mean to do it but i really need your help. So please come into the library with me. I don’t want anybody overhearing us.” Jessica nodded her head and followed Kathy into the library “So what do you have to tell me so bad?” Kathy took a deep breath then replied “Ok Jessica you know how you told me not to go to that party last saturday.Well i did and when i was there i witnessed a murder.”Jessica had disbelief written all over her “ If you just going to tell jokes you could've just left me alo-” “ NO no i'm not joking ok look JB is dead. Emma found out he was cheating and she broke her wine bottle into his neck.” Jessica was heartbroken,she could tell Kathy was telling the truth. Jessica managed to croak with tears streaming down her face”We were supposed to be together. He was going to break up with this wednesday because she doesn’t have a full day of school.It was all going to be fine but she just had to ruin everything. “ Kathy was shocked”You were cheating with him! I thought you were better than this. You guys stopped dating a year ago . Why did you even get back together let alone while he was with Emma.” Jessica started sobbing but she tried to stay quiet because if anybody overheard it would be the end of her school life “Well it doesn’t matter anymore because he’s dead.Our future together is over and i'm going to make emma pay-Wait why isn’t emma jail? Why doesn’t anyone know he is dead?” Kathy didn't make a sound because she had no idea how to word it “I was in the room when they killed him and once Emma realized what she’d done she locked everyone who was in the room together.Made us promise not to tell what happened to anyone and help her make it seem like he run away from home. Then got attacked by a drunk or something.I don’t know ok we were all drunk and scared so we went along with it even though it was a really bad plan.” 

“Why would you agree to that like how stupid are you?!? I know you make stupid decisions but why didn’t you tell me sooner. Who else was in the room with you? Also can’t you all just join together and get her arrested because she can’t win 4 against 1” Emma grabbed Kathy's hand “ Ok look i'm sorry i didn’t tell you sooner but we aren’t friends anymore and i thought it would be best and wait to see what happened.But, i couldn’t keep the secret any longer so i came to you because i thought you would know what to do.In the room with me were Mike,Chris,and Bridget and no we can’t tell or else she will get her family to put the blame on us.They are all big time lawyers and what could we do against them” Kathy took a second to breath “I'm sorry I should've listened to you jessica.”Kathy was felt really guilty “I can’t believe you did this. I may have cheated with him but I would never let someone die and sit there to help cover it up. This..this is why we aren’t friends anymore because you are a liar and will do anything to save yourself…..forget what's good,what's right,only what's good for Kathy right? Like when you told everyone in the school how my parents abandoned me when I was 5. Just so people wouldn’t find out you cheat on all of your tests.Then everyone bullied me for months calling me horrible things. You didn't have to go that low, you didn’t have to hurt me like that to betray my trust.But no you couldn’t resist bringing me to that place where i felt like trash.I was always in that place when i was around you. Now you're telling me the one person who made me feel calm.He was my missing peace.Is dead because of you.” “Ok no maybe i was a horrible friend but i did not kill JB you cannot blame that on me that's not fair.” Kathy says with anger washing over her ”Yes you did kill him you wanna know why because i never would’ve broken up with him if it wasn’t for you. You got jealous of us and started saying bad things about him. You made me so self conscious.You made our love turn sour.You know what Kathy your worse than Emma because at least she cared more about people than you do. She killed him out of passion. What have you ever done besides care about yourself?I have no idea why we were friends in the first place. You are a toxic person.Always have been.Always will be please leave me alone i don’t want to deal with your sorry excuses anymore. I hope that all of you get found out and sent to jail. Because JB deserves better than this.”Jessica wipes her tears off and starts to leave.Kathy grabs her arm “Wait i'm sorry i shouldn’t have betrayed you like that.But i need your help because i have no idea of what i should do. You know how to deal with bad situations.Because if she finds out i told you she might kill me. If she finds out you were cheating with him she might hurt you too. So please, I know I haven't been a good friend. But can we atleast work together to maybe figure out how to keep our secrets, you know a secret." Jessica looked hesitantly at Kathy. ”Ok fine but only because she's really crazy,and if she found It was me she probably would kill me.I don’t think what we did is even counted as cheating. One day I realized I loved him and couldn't live without him. So we met up and we kissed but that was all. We kept hanging out then a few months flew by.Next thing we knew school started and he had to confront Emma.I guess not every story has a happy ending.” Jessica starts crying again and Kathy hugs her
