CHAPTER TWO
I dont own any of the hirgher ground people. i only own Jessica, Jared, Her mom and stepdad,Evan and anyone else that I made up.
Jessica looked at her watch. It was dark and hard for her to see. She was suppose to met Evan at 2 AM. It was only midnight and Jessica was starting to get tired. Scott, on the other hand, was wide-awake and looking out his window. He knew they were planning on meeting each other. He over heard Jessica telling Shelby about it.
Two AM came and Jessica quietly walked out of the dorms and found Evan at the gazeboes.
"I thought time had stopped. I almost fell asleep." Jessica said as she hugged him.
"Yeah I know. But I'm glad I'm with you now." He hugged her and gave a kiss on the forehead.
Jessica sat next him and laid her head on his shoulder. The watched the stars and the moon together. Scott slowly made his way out of his dorm and watched the two. Evan put his arm around Jessica and held her close.
"What can I do?" Scott said to himself. He looked down and saw a rock by his foot. He slowly knelt down and picked it up. He threw it to the gazebo and hit the back of the bench. Jessica sat up and looked at the rock. Evan turned and saw Scott's shadow.
"We better get back to out dorms." He said.
"I'll miss you." Jessica said.
"I'll miss you too." Jessica walked back to her dorm. She didn't know Scott threw the rock but Evan did. Evan knew all about Jessica and Scott's relationship and the break up. He also knew that Scott was getting pretty jealous.
Evan got into his bed and looked at the picture that Jessica had given him. He saw Jessica smiling with Jared. They were wearing mouse ears and smiling.
"Jessica wake up." Shelby was shaking her.
"What?" She asked.
"I told if your gonna sneak out, it shouldn't be so late. Peter wants you in his office. Get dressed.
Jessica got up and started to get dressed. She ran to Peter's office. Evan saw her running up and stopped her.
"Where you going?" He asked.
"Peter's office." Jessica said and started going again but Evan grabbed her arm.
"I'll miss you. Come tell me what he said when your done?" He asked.
"Of course." Jessica kissed his cheek and ran to Peter's office. She looked into the window and saw that no one else was in there and walked in without knocking. She was the only student that did this.
"You wanted to see me Peter?" Jessica asked.
"I noticed that you made a new friend." He said.
"Yeah, Evan." Jessica said.
"You're showing great progress but that's not what I wanted to talk to you about." Peter said. Jessica started to get tense. Did he throw the rock? Did he know she was out there?
"What's up?" She said calmly.
"Your brother… excuse me step brother Jared got kicked out of boot camp. Your mother is thinking of sending him up her. She wanted to know if that was ok with you." Peter said.
"Are you crazy? He can't come up here. Who knows what he'll try to do? No he… he can't come up here." Jessica said.
"OK I'll call her back and tell her." Peter said.
"Why did he get kicked out?" Jessica asked.
"Fighting with his roommates and the counselors there." Peter said. Someone knocked on his door. "You can go Jessica." Jessica got up and opened the door. Scott walked in.
"Peter can we talk?" He asked.
"Yea Scott what's up?" Peter asked.
"Um, what can you tell me about Evan, Jessica's new boyfriend?" Peter asked.
"Well he's a ridge runner and he's new here at Horizon but that it. Everything else is strictly confidential." Peter said.
"Oh come on Peter, why is he here?" Scott asked.
"Scott we cant discuss this. I have work to do." Peter said. Scott got up and walked out. He sat on the couch outside of Peter's office. He watched Peter for an hour, talk on the phone, do some paper work, then Peter got up to walk out of his office. Scott his behind a wall and watched Peter walk out. When he was alone in Peter's office, he started looking for Evan's files. When he found them he read the in a hurry.
"Drug addiction, violence, gangs? This guy is crazy." Scott said. He heard Peter coming and put everything up and ran away. Scott when walking and saw Evan was sitting alone. He went and sat next to him.
"Hey man, I'm Scott. I'm friends with Jessica." Scott said.
"I'm Evan." Evan said.
"So uh, why are you here?" Scott asked.
"You know how it is man, I got on drugs but I'm much happier here away from the junk." Evan said.
"Hey guys." Jessica said.
"He Jessi." Scott said. "Can I uh talk to you?" He said and pulled Jessica aside.
"Listen I have a bad feeling about this guy. I think you should stay away from him." Scott said.
"Why? He's a really nice guy." Jessica said.
"Just stay away from him." Scott said and started walking away. Jessica walked back to van and sat down.
"So what did Peter want?" Evan asked.
"Just to tell me how good I'm doing." Jessica said.
"And what did Scott want?" Evan asked.
"To know what Peter wanted." Jessica lied. Evan put his arm around her.
"I don't like Scott to much." He said.
"What? Why?" Jessica asked.
"There's just something about him. I think you should stay away from him." He said.
"He's my best friend." Jessica said.
"Jessica listen to me. I like you a lot and I honestly don't think you should hang out with someone like that." Evan said looking deep into her eyes.
"Someone like that?" Jessica said. "We're all alike here. We all have problems." Jessica said.
"Do you like me?" Evan asked.
"Yes." Jessica said.
"Then listen to me. Stay away from him." Evan said. "Ok?"
"Yea ok." Jessica said. He leaned in and kissed her. Scott watched from behind them. He just shook his head in disappointment.
