Chapter five: Suspicious

Janay's P.O.V.

I woke up the next morning and looked at my clock. It was already 10AM. I groaned and sat up. I took my phone from my nightstand to see if I had any texts or any missed calls, but I had none. I searched for Alex's number and called him again. When I got his voicemail again I started to become angry and worried at the same time. What was so important that he couldn't even pick up his damn phone? I mean he says he has to go somewhere after school and promised to text me, which he didn't and now he won't even anwser his phone. I quickly got up, took a shower and pulled my clothes on. Since it looked cold outside, I pulled on some jeans,a long-sleeved shirt with a hoodie and my sneakers. I got downstairs.

''Hey mom hey dad'' I said as I sat down at the kitchen table and grabbed a piece of toast. ''Morning honey, did you sleep well?'' my mother asked taking a sip of her tea. I nodded and ate quickly. ''Yeah I did'' I said with mouthful. My dad chuckled. ''Going somewhere?'' he asked looking up from his paper. I nodded. ''Yeah, I think I'm going to Alex's'' I said drinking my juice. My dad frowned a bit. ''Will his mother be home?'' my dad asked raising his eyebrow. ''Yes dad, she will be and I think his dad might be too'' I said standing up. He nodded. ''Well okay, just be back before dinner, you want a ride there?'' he asked looking at me. I shook my head. ''No thanks, I think I walk'' I said. He nodded and went to read his paper again. I put everything I needed in my pockets, pulled on my coat and headed for the door. ''I'm going bye!'' I yelled before opening the door and shutting it behind me.

I breathed in the cold air and exhaled. It was actually nice to be outside. It made me clear my head. I decided to walk to his house since it wasn't that far away. I walked along the road and took in the surrounding area. It has always been green here and I really like that about this place. The only bad thing was that it rained a lot. And right now it was just my luck that it started to rain. I sighed and pulled my hood up. I fastened my pace stuck my hands into my pockets. I looked to my right and saw the woods. I thought about it. I wouldn't get too soaked if I went through there and it would be faster too. Even though I was scared to be in there alone, it was all better than this rain.

I sighed and quickly made my way into the woods. I decided that it was the best to stay on the path, in case I got lost. I constantly looked around me for any sign of someone following me or scary animals, but I didn't see anything. I froze when I heard not one but two wolf howl. They sounded even closer than the other time. What if they get to me? Maybe they're hungry and might eat me! I shook my head. I couldn't think like that. It was probably not that close. I quickly continued walking through the woods. When I finally saw Alex's house I sighed in relieve.

I walked out of the woods and walked up to his front porch. I rang the bell and waited for someone to open it. The door was opened by Vanessa, Alex's mom. She smiled nervously at me. ''Come on in Janay, you don't have to stand there in the rain'' she said usering me inside. I quickly walked in. ''Thanks'' I said turning to her. ''So is Alex home?'' I asked looking at her. She seemed to think about it for a bit. She looked at me and smiled faintly. ''I'm sorry honey, but he just left. A few friends came by and asked'' she said leading me to the living room and giving me a cup of tea. I gladly took it. ''Oh it's okay'' I said sipping on my tea. ''You can stay here if you want to'' she said sitting next to me. I shook my head. ''No, I think I'm just going to go home'' I said standing up after finishing my tea. She nodded. ''Maybe you should call him'' she said opening the door.

It'd already stopped raining, so I decided to go to Ange for a bit. Maybe she had some time. ''Yeah, maybe I will'' I said looking up at her. She looked kind of unsure and guilty. I wondered what was up with that. ''Thanks for the tea Vanessa'' I said stepping on the porch. She smiled. ''Your welcome honey. Be safe'' she called after me. I walked out of their driveway and turned right. He wasn't at home too and I didn't really believe anything about that story and his friends. He would have already called me or anwsered some of my texts, but no, he didn't call or text me back at all. I looked one more time back before jogging towards Ange's house. Her house was not far away from Alex's.

I arrived by her house in about 10 minutes and rang the bell. She opened the door and pulled me in immediately when she saw me. She hugged me tight, even though I was still wet from the rain. ''Nice to see you too'' I said chuckling. She pulled back and grinned at me. ''Yeah well, I wondered where you were. You didn't text me at all'' she said pouting. I rolled my eyes and pulled my shoes and coat off. ''You could've texted me too you know'' I said following her her upstairs, but not before saying a 'hello' to her mom and dad. ''I know'' she said shrugging. I shook my head and shut the door as we were in her room.

She sat down on her bed and looked at me. I plopped myself down on her small couch and layed back. ''Soooo...'' she said lying on her back. ''Sooooo...'' I said raising my eyebrows. She smirked. ''How was detention?'' she asked. I glared at her. ''It was really boring if you want to know. I had to sit that bored out of my mind, without the company of my so called best friend'' I growled at her. She laughed. ''Haha, sorry but it's just so funny! You got detention because of me'' she said laughing even louder. I groaned, picked up a pillow from her couch and threw it in her face. She glared at me and stood up grabbing a pillow of her own.

''Oh you're so going to get it sister!'' she said throwing the pillow at my head, but I ducked in time. ''Ha you missed!'' I said picking up another pillow and throwing it at her. She dodged it and grabbed her head pillow. ''Hey that's not fair. I don't got a big one like that'' I whined. ''Too bad for you'' she said jumping on me, causing us to fall to the ground. I yelled and tried to get her off me. I took the pillow out of her hands and hit her with it. ''Ha! That's what you get SISTER!'' I said hitting her again. She held her hands up. ''Okay okay, time out. I surrender'' she said lying down on her bed again. I layed down on the couch again and sighed.

''Did you really walk all the way home?'' she asked looking at me. I bit my lip and looked up at the ceiling. ''Well?'' she asked impatiently. I didn't know if I should tell her. I really wanted to, because I didn't want to hide things from my best friend, but on the other hand, if she found out about this she would think I really liked Paul. I nodded. ''Yes I walked all the way home'' I lied. I looked at her and she narrowed her eyes. ''Are you sure'' she asked slowly. I sat up. ''Yes!'' I said getting annoyed. ''Okay sorry, just wanted to know. Anyway I tohught you were going to hang out with Alex today'' she said. I nodded. ''Yeah I thought so too, but I haven't heard from him since yesterday. I went by before I came here, but his mother said that he wasn't home and gone out with some friends. But he hasn't even called or texted me back'' I said keeping my head down and sighing.

I felt Ange come beside me and wrapping her arms around me. ''Hey it's going to be okay. He'll call you or at least text. Maybe he's just forgotten to text you'' she assured me. I shook my head. ''No, he's never forgotten to text me, never. Now things are just different and I don't know what it is'' I said leaning my head on her shoulder. ''I know'' she said chuckling. I pulled away and looked at her questioningly. ''What?'' I asked. She laughed. ''Well it seemed like this all started when Lahote started hanging around you, you know. Maybe Alex's just jealous'' she said. ''I already know that's he's jealous, but I think it's something more and I really want to talk to him about it'' I said. She nodded. ''I understand'' she said hugging me tight. ''Why don't we watch a movie?'' she asked. I nodded. She smirked. ''You think what I think?'' she asked. I smirked too and nodded. ''White chicks!'' we yelled at the same time. We really loved that movie, just so hilarious. Two men transformed into woman. HAHA!

Unfortunately when the movie was over, Ange said she was meeting up with Max. Technically she was just trying to say that I had to get the hell out of there and let her be with her boyfriend, but of course she didn't and she would never say anything like that to me. I hugged her goodbye and started walking home. This time I was determined to just follow the road, no matter how hard it was raining. I shivered when I walked out of their driveway onto the mainroad. I started jogging a bit, to keep myself a a bit warm.

After a while of running I got tired so I just walked. I looked at my watch. It was almost 5 o'clock now, so I would be in time for dinner. I really didn't want my parents to be angry at me for being late. They were very strict about that. I sighed as I looked at my phone again. Still no sign of Alex. I shook my head and put it back in my pocket.

I finally arrived at my house and unlocked the door. I walked in and was greeted by my mom. ''Was it nice at Alex's'' my mom asked. ''Well Alex wasn't home, so I went to Ange's'' I said taking a glass and pouring some water in it. She looked surprised. Yes, it was to me too. Alex was always there for me and look at him now...I don't even know where he is. ''Yeah I know. He was hanging out with some of his friends'' I lied quickly drinking all the water and putting the glass on the counter. ''When's dinner ready?'' I asked looking over my mom's shoulder as she stood at the stove. ''In about 10 minutes honey. Will you set the table?'' she asked. I nodded and started to set the table.

...

Yesterday went normal. When I got downstairs this morning, both of my parents weren't up yet. I looked at the clock and saw that it was 9 o'clock. It was kind of normal for them to sleep in on sunday.

I totally gave up yesterday with bothering to call or text Alex. I would wait for him to contact me and when he was, he was going to get it. How could he do something like this to me. It was just not normal for him, plus his mother was acting very strange too.

I scrabbled something down on a note, grabbed everything I needed and headed for the beach. I hadn't been there in a while and I just enjoyed to walking on the sand and listening to the waves crashing on the rocks. It was just beautiful. I hadn't planned anything for today. Ange was probably doing something with Max and Alex was no where to be found, so today was going to be a boring day.

I was glad the beach wasn't that far away from my house. I really didn't want to walk that far again. Next time I would just ask somebody to drive me or if I'd just get my own license. I walked to the beach and sat down on a dry rock. I looked over the beach. There was hardly anybody. It was still early in the morning and it wasn't exactly the best weather to come here, but I liked it anyway. Luckily it hadn't rained since yesterday.

I was listening to the waves in silence when I felt someone coming to my side. He didn't sit next to me, but just stood there. I sighed and got up.
