My thanks to Zoe who helped me come up with an idea for my first new girl fanfic. I've been meaning to do one for a while now but could never really think of a good idea, also I have been busy writing for other shows recently. Anyway I hope you enjoy this and I would love to hear what you think. I will update this as often as is possible with my busy schedule. I don't own new girl or the song used in this chapter. It just fitted with Jess too well to miss out.
Jess knew what she had done was wrong, but what she couldn't figure out was how she let herself get into this situation in the first place. How did she get here? Was she actually going mad? Jess wanted answers to all these questions but she knew that finding them would not be easy at all.
Jess approached the house. She wondered how she was going to creep through the front door. For a number of days now she had been secretly spying on the property from behind a tree on the opposite sidewalk. She was determined to find a way in whatever it cost her. But what was it that Jess was so interested in? She knew that the owner of the house must have been rich as they had got a fair bit of new technology. And all this was only what she could see in the front room.
Jess that decided it was no or never. She approached the house, being careful as to check that there was no body around. The one person she did not have to worry about was the owner she knew full well that he was at work on the night shift; she really had been playing close attention to his schedule over the past few weeks. This all came in handy as she also knew where he kept the spare key. Jess carefully slid her under the mat and felt for the small jagged object. Her hand reached the key; she lifted it up and yelled "Got Ya" before quickly covering her mouth in the realisation that she was meant to be keeping as silent as was possible for Jessica Day. The key fit in the door perfectly. Well of course it does she thought to herself; it does belong to this door. Slowly but with every inch of confidence Jess opened the door and shuffled inside. Making sure she closed the door behind her, she continued down the long dark hallway but stopped when she was a light coming through the crack in one of the doorways. How could anyone be home? She questioned to herself. Adamant that there couldn't be anyone but herself here she walked tip toed over to see where the light was coming from. The door creaked open, when she pushed it gently, only to reveal a small fish tank with a rather large goldfish inside.
"Well hello there Mr. Fish. How are you today?"
"I'm very well thank you Miss Day" she responded to herself using what Jess would call her fish voice.
"That's good then" As she made this last statement Jess' attention was drawn to the rather large TV on the wall over the fire. It must have been only seconds but Jess felt herself fall into a trance and she began to sing to herself
"Now I've had the time of my life"
Jess remembered the time when she had first sat down with her Nick, Schmitt and coach to watch Dirty Dancing. She had loved spending that time with them at such a low point of her life. To this day jess could not understand why she had found comfort in the movie: but it had just seemed to make everything better. She finished singing and returned her thought to the real reason she had entered a seemingly strange house that was not her own.
Jess strolled over to the staircase carefully placing one foot in front of the other and climbing one step at a time. She glanced around spotting a couple of pictures on the wall. She took a look at each one in turn before continuing across the vast landing. Once at the other end she headed straight for a window in the corner of the room and stood there for a few minutes just staring out of it at the busy street below. At that moment she heard a key turn in the front door. Jess panicked. What was she going to do? She could be stupid enough to go into someone else's house and then be caught in the act. As quickly and quietly as she could, Jess scurried into the nearest closet hoping that they person would leave and she would be free to escape without being caught.
As much as this is what she wanted to happen, sadly she was disappointed. The footsteps continued up the stairs and entered the room where Jess was hiding. It was 2 men and it was clear to jess that they were more than just friends.
Instinctively Jess let out a loud gasp, giving away her cover. The first man, the taller of the two, walked over and opened the cupboard door.
"JESS?"
She was speechless. Staring back at her was the one person who she had been trying to avoid, ironically given the fact she had broken into his house not half an hour earlier.
