A/N: Hey! I wasn't going to post this so soon because I should really be focused on packing up my dorm room right now, but I'm a major procrastinator, so... :) I'm posting this for my lovely first two reviewers, Gleeotch13 and Angelina Johnson and the people who followed and favorited the story so far and HG and PJO 4ever for PM'ig me and complimenting my writing :) I know people write fanfiction for themselves for fun and not necessarily for exposure, but when someone takes the time to review or PM me or even follow or favorite my stories, it makes me feel like people are actually reading! I love all of you that have read this story or any of my other FFs and I hate having to mention this every time because if I owned anything related to glee, things would make a lot more sense, but I digress. I own nothing related to glee and please review! This is a shorter chapter, but I wanted a little bit of Jake's POV after Marley bolted. The next chapter will either be in Marley or Ryder's POV. Have a lovely day y'all and I'll try and update as soon as I possibly can :)

Jake's POV

"Marley, did you get home safely? Please call me back so I know." Jake pleaded into his cell phone a couple of hours after Marley left

This had to have been the twentieth phone message he's left, not counting the text messages he also sent, but he had a nagging suspicion that she wasn't going to respond. He was wondering what the hell happened with her when the blackberry in his backpack started ringing. He knew it was Ryder, but why was he trying to call the Katie number? They had only communicated over text messages and Facebook messages. Jake just let him leave a voicemail.

"Katie, I know you tried to call me earlier! This is getting really ridiculous, I don't understand why you don't want to meet me in real life! Can we please just stop all this crap?!" Jake could hear the anger in Ryder's voice.

But what was he talking about? Jake never tried to call him. At first, he thought that maybe the phone accidentally dialed itself, but somehow he thought that wasn't the case. So Jake pulled out the cell phone and looked at the messages to see if he missed anything. There was a bunch of unread text messages from Ryder that all went along the same lines of the phone message. But he noticed one that was opened a few minutes after seven o'clock when Marley was still there with him. When she was alone in the living room with his backpack while he was in the kitchen.

He was horrorstruck as he realized that the last person besides Ryder that they'd want to know about the prank might already know. Why else would she have left so suddenly? He looked at the call log to see if there was anything he might've missed. The last call made was logged in at 7:12p.m., it was only a ten second call, but that was enough for him to know. Kitty was right, this plan was already blowing up in his face and he had no idea what to do. If he had any doubts about his relationship with Marley, it didn't matter because if she found out that it was him catfishing Ryder, she would definitely break up with him now. He needed to call Kitty to come up with a strategy. He was impatient as he waited for Kitty to pick up her phone.

"Come up Kitty, hurry up and pick up the damn phone." he accidentally said out loud as Kitty picked up the phone.

"Chill out, Jake! God, what do you want?" Kitty answered harshly.

"Sorry, it's just, I think Marley found out about me catfishing Ryder." Jake sighed.

"No shit, Sherlock. What do you want me to do about it?" Kitty replied, her voice dripping in hatred.

"Wait, how do you know?" Jake asked, outraged that Kitty couldn't have given him a little bit of warning.

"Because Marley was walking home alone looking more like a neurotic hot mess than usual so I offered her a ride to be nice. I didn't think anything was wrong other than you acting like your usual douchey self, so I let her bitch about it a little bit at the Lima Bean. She told me about how she found the cell phone. By the way, nice move leaving it laying around so she could find it, jackass." Kitty answered.

"I didn't mean to! I didn't think she'd find it. What did she say?" Jake continued hesitantly.

"Just a bunch of crap about how it was morally wrong of you to use Ryder like that and she went into an ethical debate with herself about whether or not she should tell Ryder that it was you. Before you say anything, I think I convinced her well enough to at least wait until after regionals." Kitty replied.

"Oh no. Either way, this isn't good at all." Jake groaned.

"Well on the bright side, you don't have to worry about dumping her first. And I think Chip at the Lima Bean made a little bit of a love connection with her, leaving Ryder completely free for you. It's a win-win for everybody." Kitty snickered.

"It's not funny Kitty!" Jake replied furiously.

"Yes it is. Because I told you that this was a bad idea, but you were stupid enough to go through with it anyway. You reap what you sow, Puckerman." Kitty shot back.

"What should I do? I really need your help here." Jake pleaded.

"It doesn't matter what you do because she'll dump your sorry, three-nippled ass anyway, she was pretty pissed at you. But about Ryder? Stop the Katie thing because he'll find out it was you anyway. Don't do anything rash tonight, we'll figure it out in the morning. And we'll have to see what she does. If she does tell everyone it was you, it's time to grow a pair and face the consequences like a man." Kitty said as she ended the call.

Jake never thought this whole thing would spiral out of control like it was. It was just a simple and harmless prank at the time he started it. He thought he was teaching Ryder a lesson about making a move on Marley. He thought he'd make Ryder forget about his romantic feelings for Marley. But he realized he might've either pulled them further apart or perhaps pushed them closer together.
