Hey Everyone! So I just watched this week's episode and so I wrote another story. I couldn't help so I might just make it a new thing of mine. No promises but, I think I'm going to do a story every week after I watch a New Jane By Design. It'll be anything from a one shot to a full blown story. So Enjoy!
Rumour Has It
"Are we really going to do this?" Jane said as her and Billy stared at her computer screen with an email inviting a bunch of teenagers to her house for a party tonight.
"We have to do this," Billy said and Jane pressed send.
"We're really going to do this," Jane said staring at the sent invites.
"Yeah we are," Billy said standing up and heading for the fridge.
Billy had been staying over since Ben and Jane's mom left.
She loved the initial idea of being alone but, after the first night it lost some of it's charm.
"You ready to go?" Billy asked and Jane nodded grabbing her bag so they could get to school.

"So Jane's having a party tonight," Zoe said coming up behind Billy.
"Yeah, we figured we should take advantage of her empty house situation," Billy said smiling and Zoe shook her head.
"You mean you talked her into taking advantage of the situation?"
Billy looked at her.
"You mention her enough for me to know she's not the party throwing type," Zoe said and Billy laughed.
"I may have nudged just a bit," he said and Zoe smiled.

The party was out of control and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.
"So having fun?" Billy said coming into the kitchen where Jane was throwing a bunch of cups in the trash.
"I'm never throwing a party again," Jane said and Billy laughed.
She was going out of her mind trying to make sure not too many things got broken.
Some guy was standing on the coffee table waving his arms in the air.
"Hey, get off of that!" Jane said heading towards him trying to yell over the music.
Billy laughed at her attempts at control.
"Hey there," Zoe said coming up next to him.
"Hey, you finally made it," Billy said smiling widely.
"What?" Zoe said not able to hear him.
"I said you finally made it!" he said a little louder.
"What?"
He took her hand and led her in the back to Jane's room.
He closed the door behind him.
"I said you finally made it," Billy said in the quiet room.
Zoe circled the room and stopped on the photo next to Jane's bed.
It was of her and Billy.
They were a lot younger and Jane was on Billy's back.
They looked so happy, just looking at one another.
"Some kid wouldn't stop picking on Jane when we were eight. I confronted him and we got in a fight. Jane tried to stop it and sprained her ankle. She couldn't walk so I carried her home. Her old neighbor was a photographer. He took it and gave it to her for her birthday," Billy said and Zoe tried to ignore the twinge of jealousy.
"So if I sprained my ankle I can trust you to carry me home?" she said stepping closer to him.
"Well now I have a car so that really wouldn't be an issue," Billy said smiling as he wrapped his arms around her.
He kissed her and she kissed him back.
Zoe backed up until she hit the bed and Billy lowered her down on the mattress.
Their kissing became pretty heated as Zoe dragged his jacket down his arms.
"I'll be right back," Billy said hopping off the bed smiling.
He went out the door.
Zoe sat up on the bed.
She looked at the picture again and stood up.
She looked around and noticed an open drawer.
The contents didn't look like anything Jane would wear.
She looked closely at them and picked up a shirt.
It was for a guy and looked exactly like the shirt that Billy wore yesterday.
She looked threw the clothes and saw that the entire drawer was filled with Billy's clothing.
She searched the dresser and saw a bunch of male hygiene products and hair gel.
When she looked in the corner there were a couple pairs of tennis shoes.
Zoe suddenly felt really uncomfortable becoming aware of how much time Billy really spent there.
Billy walked back in.
"Now where were we," he said stepping forward but, she backed away.
"Uh my dad just called I have to go home," she said grabbing her bag.
"Why?" Billy asked, lost.
"He didn't say. See you later," Zoe said quickly heading out the door, not bothering to close it.
Billy just stood there perplexes at her exit.

"Thanks," Zoe said as Billy handed her the book she left at his house.
They were in their study hall but, they had a sub today.
"You know, I went to your house two nights ago but, you weren't home," she said.
"I was at Jane's," he said and she frowned to herself.
"Really? It was pretty late," she said and he shrugged.
"Yeah, I ended up staying over. We were doing homework and studying. Time got away."
"You stay over there a lot," Zoe asked trying to sound as if it didn't matter what his answer was.
"Uh, most Fridays' and Saturdays' since we were young," Billy answered completely oblivious to what was actually happening.
"Oh ok that's cool...so do you like sleep on the couch or the floor or what."
Billy laughed.
"What's with all the questions?"
"I was just curious," Zoe said lightly.
"I don't know sometimes I guess. Their couch is a death sentence though. I've slept on the floor but, most of the times I just crash with Jane," he said as if it was no big deal.
"How many times have you stayed over sense we started dating?"
Billy looked up from his book.
"I feel like this conversation is heading into dangerous territory," Billy said looking at her confused.
"Answer the question."
"Every night since Ben and her mom left ok," Billy answered kinda annoyed at the interrogation.
"You've been sleeping at Jane's every night," Zoe said with anger on her face.
Billy didn't really know what to say to defend himself.
Zoe crossed her arms and faced the front of the class.
When the bell rang Billy had to almost run to keep up with Zoe.
"Come on Zo, it's not that big of a deal. We didn't do anything. We're friends. You know that," Billy said trying to reason with her.
"Friends? Is that what you call it?" Zoe said sarcastically trying to shrug him off.
He grabbed her hand.
"I'm sorry Zoe. I didn't mean to make you upset."
Zoe turned around in anger.
"How do you expect me not to get upset? You're sleeping with her, best friend or not!" Zoe exclaimed.
Billy tried to get her to lower her voice but, the damage was done.
Everyone in the hall had heard her and there was no turning back.
Zoe turned and snatched her arm away.
"Zoe!" Billy exclaimed after her but, she kept walking.

Jane looked down at the finished product that laid before her.
She had just finished another costume and was ready to alter another.
"Any reason why you think sleeping with another girl's boyfriend is ok?" Zoe said walking up to Jane.
Jane looked up in confusion.
"Excuse me?"
"You, Billy, same bed, for several nights now," Zoe said angry.
The people in the room went silent.
"I...I'm sorry. I wasn't aware you didn't know," Jane said shakily and Zoe rolled her eyes.
"Oh please, don't play that innocent, doe eyed thing with me. What girl would you think would be ok with her boyfriend sleeping with another girl?"
"Me and Billy have been sleeping in the same bed since we were in kindergarten. We're best friends," Jane said looking at Zoe's irritated face.
Zoe just gave a look of disdain and then turned and fled the room.
Jane stood in the same place for a second longer taking in the mini confrontation.
She looked around the room and could see everyone whispering.
She could only imagine the gossip going around at this moment.
