India leaned back in Grey's chair, her arms crossed, the evidence she had found lay out in front of her. As Jane walked into the office, she froze, her eyes flitting over what was on the desk, fear settling on her features. "What are you doing?"

"Close the door, Jane," India smirked.

Jane looked suspicious and cautious, but she pulled the glass door shut behind her.

India smiled winningly. "I've been saying for quite a while you are not as you say you are, Jane. It seems I was right."

Jane opened her mouth to object, but India cut her off. "Don't try to lie, Jane. All my evidence is right here, and I'll go straight to Grey about it.

"What do you want?"

"I think you know, Jane. I want to be head of this company. But you keep getting in my way." India smirked. She pressed a button on the computer and called in Jeremy. "Hi, Jeremy!" She said sweetly and flirty. "I believe Jane has something to confess."
Jane kept her head up, glaring at India. If she was going to be fired, she was keeping her dignity. She said nothing.

"Fine, she won't spill, then I'll just let this," India gestured to the papers in front of her, "Talk for itself." She handed Jeremy both identifications and the graded paper.
Jeremy read the driver's licenses first, his eyes widening. He turned to Jane. "Is it true? Are you in high school?"

Jane's face showed no emotion, but inside, she was about to cry.

"But, how'd you get this job?"

"I came for an interview for an internship. But you thought I was an adult, interviewing for the assistant job. I tried to tell Grey, but she told me the salary was $34,000 and my brother and I really need the money, so I took the job," Jane explained.

Jeremy nodded. "But… How do you go to school and do this?"

"It's not easy. I do a lot of running around. But I do it, because I love this job, I need this job." She looked pleadingly at him. "Please don't tell Grey!"

Jeremy nodded.

"Oh, come on!" India screeched. "She's not even an adult! She's a child! She lied this whole time, Jeremy! How could you lie to Grey, act as if this isn't happening?"

Jeremy said nothing.

India stood, stalking out of the room. "Fine, if you won't tell Grey, then I will!"

Jeremy left awkwardly, and Jane collapsed, tears threatening to spill from her eyes. She dialed Billy's number into her phone without thought. When Billy picked up, her voice came out unsteady and heavy.

"Billy! Billy, India knows. She knows I'm not an adult. And… she's going to tell Grey!" she sobbed.

"How?"

"I don't know!" Jane cried.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Janey. Maybe she won't, or…"

"Face it, Billy. I'm as good as dead. I can kiss my dream job goodbye!"

Billy sighed. "No, you're not!" he said, then he hung up.

Jane didn't have much time to contemplate why, because India appeared in the doorway, smirking, and a video call from Grey appeared on the video screen.

Sighing in defeat, Jane accepted the call, walking forward to face her boss dejectedly.

Grey sat in a white robe, a cup of tea in front of her, and a man by her side. "What is this about, Jane? I'm very busy; India said you had something to tell me."

Jane stuttered. "I… I…"

India sauntered forward, her hands on her hips, a confident, triumphant smile on her face. "Jane is not who she says she is, Grey. Check your email."

Grey looked at India and Jane, confused. She pulled out her cell phone, and her eyes widened as her eyes scanned the message and the pictures with it. She looked up, staring straight at Jane. "Is this true, Jane? Are you at seventeen year old?"

Jane looked at her feet. She nodded, biting her lip.

Grey sat back, thinking a moment. "How did you keep this job and go to school?"

Jane looked up. "I really need and want this. It's my dream job. I came in for an internship interview but there was a mix up and everyone thought I was trying to become your assistant, and I was going to tell you, but I need the money. I had a lot of rushing around to do. I love this job, but…"
"Jane, you lied to me, to everyone this entire time. Do you know how unacceptable and not to mention illegal that is?" Grey scolded.

Jane looked at her feet sadly.

India grinned triumphantly, waiting for Grey to say the words, to banish Jane forever.

Grey sighed. "But I'm not going to lie, I like your enthusiasm."

Jane and India looked up, incredulous. "What?"

"I like how committed you are to me, Jane. That is a quality few people have. You've done a lot for me, and you love what you do. That is something I look for in my assistants."

"Wait, then…"

Billy burst into the room suddenly, giving India a sharp glare and turned to Grey on the screen. "You can't fire Jane!"

Grey glared back Billy. "Cute. Relax, I wasn't going to fire Jane."

"Wait, you aren't?" Jane said, surprised.

Grey smiled down at her. "No, Jane. I am not about to fire the best assistant I've ever had. Anyway, it'll be nice to have a teenager's take on our designs. Goodbye, Jane. See you at the trunk show on Friday. Impress me."
The screen looked black, and India screamed. "What! How can you keep this job? You're a kid!" She turned to Billy, pointing at him accusingly. "I knew it the whole time. You little twit! I knew it was you!" She groaned. "After all that she's lied about, Grey keeps her just because she's been an okay assistant." She turned back to Jane. "You better watch your back, little girl," she hissed, stalking out of the room, muttering. "I don't believe this!"

Jane grinned at Billy, astonishment on her face. "Thanks for sticking up for me."

Billy smiled back. "Hey, I guess I didn't need to come to the rescue at all, you seem to have it under control."

Jeremy knocked on the door, walking in, confusion and interest on his attractive features. "What's India going on about… you being a teenager?"

Jane shrugged shyly. "Yeah, it's true. I'm seventeen. But surprisingly Grey is keeping me around that is probably why she's so mad."

Jeremy's eyebrows shot up, but he kept a composed expression. "Well, then. Congratulations, Jane." He waved quickly to Billy and stalked out of the room over to Carter and whispering in his ear. Carter looked up, whispering back.

Jane breathed deeply. "I guess my secret is out…"

Billy nodded, checking his watch. "Um, Janey? Don't we have to get to class for Mid Terms?"
Jane sighed, picking up her purse, tossing her fake identity in the trash and running out to her car.

"Um, Jane?" Billy called. "Maybe you should do your car, yourself and the earth a favor and just ride with me…"

Jane grinned, leaving her car and sliding into the passenger side of Billy's car.

Jane walked out of the classroom, not very confident about her grade, when she turned the corner and froze, her heart seeming to crack in half.

Before her, clearly kissing, were Nick and Lulu! Jane's lip trembled as she stood there. She made a noise in the back of her throat, and Nick and Lulu pulled apart, looking up at Jane. Lulu just glared, slightly happy, but Nick's eyes widened and he untangled himself from Lulu. "Jane! It…"

"Isn't what it looks like? Because I'm pretty sure it is, Nick," Jane said, hurt. "You made your decision. See you around," she said, waving and turning on her heel, stalking away, standing tall. But inside, she was hurting. Badly. She rushed out to the parking lot, only to find her car wasn't there, she had left it at Donovan Decker. Jane sat on the hood of Billy's car, her head buried in her knees, trying not to cry.

"Janey?" Billy asked, approaching the car and sitting by her. "What's wrong?"
Jane looked up sadly. "I was stupid. I was so stupid to trust him!" She said.

"Who, Janey?" Billy asked. "Stupid to trust who?"

"Nick," Jane choked. "I just saw him in the hallway… kissing Lulu."

"Lulu?" Billy asked. "Oh, I'm going to kill her…" he said, standing. But he saw Jane's still sad expression and sat back down. "I'm sorry, Janey."

Jane sniffled.

Billy put an arm around her, hugging her, and Jane leaned into him, still trying not to cry. "I was stupid."
"Jane, you aren't stupid! Nick is just a jerk, he doesn't deserve you," Billy said.

Jane looked up at him. "You really believe that?"
"I know that."

Without thinking, Jane leaned up and pressed her lips to Billy, it just felt so natural. She melted into him. How had they known each other for so long and never done this before?

Jane pulled away after a few moments, looking at Billy apprehensively. "What was that?" Billy asked.

Jane shrugged.

Billy grinned. "Maybe we could do it again?"

Jane smiled and leaned in to kiss him again.

So, there it is! I couldn't resist a little bit of Billy/Jane romance. I may finish it there, or I may add an epilogue. What do you guys think? Review! ~S~
