First, I apologize for the gap between updates. I've had a very busy work schedule and very little free time to write. I hope everyone has had a safe holiday season and that everyone's enjoying Jennifer's Body on DVD. I know I am, although I wish there would have been more special features. Here's to 2010!

Second, thank you for the reviews. I appreciate each one. Thank you.

"I watched Needy and Jennifer make out in the hall this afternoon. It looked like Jennifer started it, but I don't know if Needy was the one who decided they should do that. I don't really know anything other than I am really fucking mad. I wish that Needy wasn't in love with her stupid lesbo "biff" with her stupid slang and dumb phrases. I wish that Needy could just be normal. That she could have been my girlfriend and not been so obsessed with Jennifer. I know it sounds like I'm probably obsessed with Jennifer Check, but it's only because she has gotten in the way of my relationship with Needy since the beginning of things. As stupid as it may sound, I still really fucking love Needy. I can't bring myself to…I don't know, not be hung up on her I guess. So, stupidly I am still going to attempt to save her because I don't think Jennifer is trying very hard. I mean, she's just making out with her and last time I read that demon book it didn't say 'to reverse a possession make out with the demon.'"

Chip tossed the notebook to the side and watched the glowing stars on his ceiling, as if they would start twinkling if he stared at them long enough. The sight of Jennifer's tongue in Needy's mouth might have turned on many of the other on-lookers, but it just made the hole in his heart rip a little more. He should have known Jennifer wouldn't bother photoshopping a picture. And now, he didn't even have any leverage over them if he ever did want to use that blackmail idea. He didn't really want to blackmail anyone. He just wanted his girlfriend to be straight, to be as in love with him as he was with her.

He had one week until winter break began, and he had to get a plan together quickly. He didn't know what to do with the situation. He decided it was finally time to turn on the computer and try finding some help online. He couldn't be the only person this had ever happened to, it was impossible. There were apparently many books on the subject; Needy had checked them all out from the library a month ago. So he hoped he wasn't crazy as he typed into the search bar "a demonic possession has occurred, how do I fix it?" He stared at the screen for a moment; taking a deep breath, he pressed the button that read "SEARCH."

For Needy, Friday was just annoying. People didn't say a word about the make out session they had had in the hall the day before, but everyone was staring at them. Jennifer was used to all the eyeballs, but Needy knew that this time they weren't necessarily fawning over her. They were more shocked by this new gossip piece than anything else. The feeling that the room had just been talking about her followed Needy all day, and for once Needy wished her best friend wasn't in nearly all of her classes. Nobody really gave them any hell over it, so people were still afraid of Jennifer if nothing else. Needy found relief in that, because they did have a real reason to find the dark haired girl intimidating. Needy was scared to hold Jennifer's hand in the halls, but Jennifer didn't let her think about it. She took the blonde's hand every time. Jennifer pretended as if she'd been doing this for years and that this wasn't at all a new thing.

"Your hands are really cold today and a little clammy. What's up?" Jennifer asked as they walked into the lunch room.

Needy shrugged. "I don't know maybe it has something to do with being in your spotlight," she said. The dark haired girl didn't miss the shakiness in her voice.

"You're generally near my limelight, so why do you sound so nervous?"

"Yeah, near your limelight, not holding your hand and kissing you. I don't know. I'm just nervous."

"Don't worry," Jennifer purred. "Nobody—"

"Hey, Jennifer?" a male voice interrupted them. The two girls looked up and found one of the football players standing before them nervously.

"What?"

"I was just wondering. If you're ever looking for a third party, I'm available." Needy's eyes widened as she realized he was offering himself for a threesome with the two of them. She felt her cheeks reddening and Jennifer laughed.

"Thanks for that offer, but if we're looking for someone to help us in that department, I think I know who has the best equipment for the job." Jennifer walked off, Needy following behind her; she didn't want to be left with that embarrassing situation.

Chip didn't go to school Friday. He knew the only thing anyone would be talking about was Jennifer Check and her lesbian girlfriend. He'd already gotten two picture messages from two of his friends. Both of his friends sent him the same stupid picture: Jennifer's hands on Needy's hips, their tongues exploring each other's mouths, both looking completely into it. Needy looking more turned on than Chip had ever seen her, even when he was between the sheets with her. The picture Jennifer had originally sent him was still on his phone. He'd searched for it out of curiosity and he'd found it in his photo album. He kept comparing the pictures. The first one, the one Jennifer had sent him, was full of love. The one his friends had sent him were full of passion. He hated looking at either of them. He sat at home and scrolled through the many websites speaking on possessions and demonic forces. He'd started taking notes and trying to make a plan. He wasn't sure what he could do, so he decided he had to basically just kill the demon. He didn't know how to do that without killing the host though. He didn't want to kill Needy, but he didn't know how else to do it. He wondered if he fatally wounded her and then took her to a hospital before she died. He shook his head. He was going to have to wing it once he got face to face with her and was ready to take on the demon.

He was going to have to call Jennifer and ask if she could help him set up a day alone with Needy. He just didn't have a story for them yet as to why he would need a day alone with her. He wasn't going to let Jennifer know what he doing, now that she had yelled at him and stolen his girlfriend. He wasn't going to share credit for saving Needy, especially not with Jennifer fucking Check.
