Authoress POV

"Jenny, I was about to tell you but......

"But what Justin, you lied to my face like you always do"

Anticipation and arguments replenished the table, while Jessica and Justin are striving to solve this amicably, but whenever Justin tries to explain Jenny kept on interrupting as always

Jake was still confused about what's going on, he has been silent throughout all the arguments, he didn't even know what to say

His true love is also his enemy, he felt like he has been torn apart into a million pieces, he felt like the world tumble including him, this is going to be unbearable for Jake.

"Jenny if you could just listen to me, you would understand better, I was waiting for the right time to bring this to you.....

"Oh really, you have been waiting for the right time right? and for the past few months that we started all this, and here we are Justin"

"Jenny am sorry I lied to you.....

"You know what, I did expect this from Justin, but I didn't expect this from you Jessica"

She interrupted Jessica and left the table immediately, leaving the cafeteria

"Jenny wait, "Justin said trying to follow her until he also left the cafeteria leaving Jessica and Jake together

"Jake, are you also angry at me, "Jessica asked innocently

"Am not angry....am disappointed"

He replied coldly

"Jake am really.....

"Am not disappointed in you"

Jake said interrupted

"Then who are you disappointed at?"

"Am disappointed in me, for being foolish and stupid, I can't believe you"

He left the table leaving only Jessica this time

*********

"Jenny wait"

Justin kept on following Jenny who was not listening to him

"Jenny wait"

"Justin leave me alone"

"Jenny listen to me"

"Fine" she turned around and realized that Justin has been sweating profusely

"Fine explain yourself"

She said and gave him a deadly glare

"Jenny, it's wasn't Jessica's fault, it's was mine, I never wanted to tell you, because.....

"Because of what Justin...

"Because I don't want to lose you okay"

She stared at him for a while

"What do you mean Justin?"

"I mean, I don't want you to leave me"

"Justin sometimes you talk rubbish, how can you say that am not your real girlfriend, this is all fake, why do always embellish in this relationship"

"Am not overstating, it's the truth Jenny"

"Justin I still don't get what you are saying"

"You....... never mind it's nothing"

"No tell me, why do you always take this fake as real, we are only pretending to date each other just for our benefits, and you know that you shouldn't go far at this Justin, you......

"Do you think, I take this as fake"

"What do you mean you don't take this as a fake, why do you always take this too far....uh.. whyyyyyyy, answer me, Justin, do you think am always happy with this, I'm dating you for my self-interest and nothing else, why do you always take this too far Justin why answer me...

"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU JENNY"Justin blurted out

Jenny gawked at him for a while confusedly

"What did you just say," she asked

"I said I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART"

"Uh"

She exclaimed confusedly

"Jenny you may not realise it but I love you with all my heart, I love you more than anything, I'm badly in love with you, I can tell the whole world that I love you because every day my love for you grows stronger"

He stared deeply at her brown eyes

"Justin, have you lost your mind?, love?, really?, Justin I don't think......

Before Jenny could utter any words, Justin quickly plopped his lips into hers, and not forcefully but softly

It's wasn't a rough kiss, it's was just a soft pleasuring kiss.

But something was off there, when he kissed her, he wasn't feeling any spark that he imagined he would feel.

Something is wrong here

******

After some seconds he released his lips from hers and stared deeply into her eyes

She moved a step backward away from him, releasing herself from his grip, and stared at him with confusion.

And next thing that Justin felt was a heavy slap on his cheek.

Justin wasn't expecting this from Jenny, the way she stared at him was full of hatred

******

"Justin, am asking you a question, why do you choose to lie to me?"

"Uh?" he snapped out of his thoughts

"What were you thinking of Justin, you haven't answered me for a while"

Jenny asked angrily

Wait, was that all an imagination

"Wait.... what?"

"Weren't you listening to me, what is wrong with you?"

She shouted

"What just happened?"

"Which kind of question is that?, I've been asking you a question for the past one minute and you are just standing there staring at the air"

"Wait, so you mean all that has happened was just a.."

"A what?"

'Wait so everything that happened was just an imagination, so the way I kissed Jenny was all a fake, no wonder he didn't feel any spark' Justin thought

"What are you talking about Justin?"

"Never mind, am sorry I lied to you Justin, it's wasn't Jessica's fault it's was mine, I asked her not to tell you, am sorry Jenny, I made a mistake"

"Justin, you know for a fact that this is not the first you are lying to me, I don't think I can trust you again"

"I know, I know I'm sorry Jenny"

"Maybe we should just take a break from each other"

"Wait, are you saying we should end this relationship?"

"I didn't say that am just saying we just staying away from each other, I need to think about this Justin"

"Alright Jenny, just think about it, and again am sorry"

He said as Jenny glared at him and walked out of his sight

Jenny's POV

3:am

Here I am, sitting on my bed, looking at the ceiling, and thinking of what Justin said

So Jessica and Justin are related, no wonder Jessica always agrees to every decision Justin made

I knew something was up with both of them, at first I thought they were dating which I don't care about, and now they are related, WOW I didn't see that coming.

I was all alone, nothing to do, Stella is attending her after school class, I have to wait until something interesting happens

After a while, I got a call from my phone

I checked the caller ID and it was Jessica

"Ughhhh, I don't want to talk to her right now" I ended the call immediately

The call kept on ringing as I kept on disconnecting it

And for the fifteenth time, I frustratedly picked it up

"Look, Jessica, I don't want to talk to you right now, now stop disturbing my peace.....

"Jenny Jenny Jenny, you have to help me"

She replied with a shaking voice

It's seemed like she was in fear

"Jessica, what is the matter?"I asked curiously

"I don't where I am Jenny, I need your help Jenny please aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah"

She screamed and the call got disconnected

Oh no, Jessica is in trouble

I ran out of my room crazily, I don't know where to start, I have no idea where she is

"Oh no Jessica"I ran my hands through my hair and realized that I was the only one in the hallway

Why did I have to get in a fight with her

I don't know what to do, oh no no no

Yes I can call Justin, he can help me since they are family

I dialled Justin's number, and he picked up immediately

" Jenny I thought you would never call me again"

" Justin I need your help"

" What is it? You sound worried?"

"It's Jessica"

"What about her"

"I don't know, she called...............

Before I could talk more to Justin, I felt a hard grip on my mouth

What is happening?

Someone is trying to put me to sleep, with a handkerchief

I tried so hard to breathe but all I could see was blank
