Her phone was beeping. Another text message from Bella, she assumed. Jessica and Bella were all at the pub now and wondering where she was and what had happened to send her running. She didn’t want to tell them. She had said too much already to Hannah. The beeps continued. She sat down, ready to see what they were saying. “Where r u?” Jessica typed. “I thought u would be here b 4 us.” From Bella. She decided to text Jessica. Maybe she would understand her predicament. After all, she was having some issues with Beau and Chase. Bella, on the other hand, was in love and might not understand how she felt. “I went for a walk. Too awkward there by myself with Grant & Justin.” “I heard Hannah left early. Little slut. What’s going on?” “I just can’t seem to deal with them. It’s Grant. He makes me crazy.” “Come back. I’m here. We can run interference for each other, since both Beau and Chase are here. Please.” “I guess. But you’d better stay in between us.”
