Damn how great was monday's episode ?

Anyway here is what I thought: What if Jessi took the news that her mother might have been killed / kidnapped a bit harder? What if she went out and took her anger out on something? And what if Amanda was there to witness the consequences?

Amanda Bloom was feeling a myriad of emotions. First and foremost being anger. She thought she had been angry before but this was nothing compared to this. Till now she had been the one in control. She had been the one to dump Kyle. She was the one who wanted to teach him a lesson. She was the one who wanted once and for all to make him decide between her and Jessi.

Amanda had never intended to end things with Kyle forever. She felt too much for him. But after seeing Kyle kiss Jessi she needed to reassure herself of his feelings. She couldn't let him get away with another excuse. She knew she felt helpless when he started to talk. He always managed to explain everything so perfectly. But this time she wouldn't fall for his charm. This time she wanted to know the truth. And the only way to find it was through his actions

And it worked better then in Amanda's wildest dreams. He didn't pursue a relationship with Jessi, he constantly showed a desire to renew their relationship. Once she saw how jealous he was of Nate she knew for a fact that Kyle still had feelings for her. And then a miracle happened. Jessi. The girl that made Amanda constantly feel insecure not only in her relationship with Kyle but in herself, the girl she frankly hated. She of all people came and pretty much gave them her blessing. She told her she would back off.

It had been one of the happiest moments in Amanda's life. Everything seemed to almost magically fix itself. She went to Kyle confident in herself, in their relationship. And then he…he of all people rejected her. She couldn't believe it. She was so shocked she didn't even bother to listen to his explanation. She just stood there stunned.

How could this happen? How could something that started so well turn so bad so quickly. And worst of all she couldn't even blame Jessi. For once the girl had actually helped her. Amanda quickly returned home. Seeing her mother passed out on the couch with a few bottles of wine she used the opportunity to change and get out of the house again. She needed time to think

She went to the nearby park. It as night already but they lived in a safe neighborhood so she wasn't worried. She just needed to be by herself at the moment, needed time to think. But it looked like she wasn't going to get her wish. Because right there on the bench was Jessi . Amanda sighed in displeasure but went to greet her. She might have might have hated Jessi but she was mature enough to behave civilly.

"Jessi? Jessi" she tried calling her several more times but Jessi seemed intent on ignoring her. Scowling at the rudeness Amanda came closer and then gasped in shock at what she saw" My god what happened to your hands?"

It was the most horrifying sight Amanda had seen. Jessi's hands were a mess. Even in the moonlight she could see the blood and the torn flesh. Amadna thought she would get sick as she even saw the glint of a bloody bone. Amanda couldn't understand how Jessi wasn't screaming in pain. This must be agony and yet she just seem to stare at nothing without even showing a sign of discomfort

"I would like to be alone now Amanda" Jessi quiet whispered startled Amanda. She didn't know what to do. She couldn't let someone who was injured that badly alone.

"Jessi you need help. Your hands are hurt very badly" Amanda implored her again but Jessi wasn't listening anymore. She had just resumed staring in the nothingness. Cursing herself for forgetting her cell phone she tried looking around. The chances of finding a public phone in the middle of the park at night were slim to none but she had to try something. And as she was looking around she saw something almost as disturbing as Jessi's hands. It was a tree, not far away from the bench where they were sitting. At one spot it looked almost painted in blood, she could see that even the fallen tree bark was mixed with blood. Sudden understanding dawned on her. Jessi had done it to herself. She had actually punched the tree to the point where she had nearly crippled her hands.

Sudden fear gripped Amanda. Was this because of Kyle? Was she that angry losing him? Would she attack her as well? She knew it was irrational, that Jessi probably couldn't even move her hands now but it was still a terrifying thought. She didn't want someone who could do this to themselves without even caring after her. She nearly jumped when she heard Jessi's voice again

"I want to kill them" said Jessi quietly almost as if she was talking to herself "kill every last one of them"

Them? Amanda suddenly got a flashback to what Kyle was trying to say earlier 'people who want things from me, who know that the way to get to me is through the people I love'. Did those people do this to Jessi? One of the reasons why she hated Jessi was because she knew that she and Kyle had a connection. Jessi shared Kyle's secrets. Was this why she was in such a state now? What could they have possibly done to her?

Things starting becoming more clear to her as she saw past events in a new light. The prom night she didn't remember, Kyle needing Jessi to find her, Kyle being overprotective, her unexplained headaches that suddenly stopped. Did they do something to her as well? Something that Kyle fixed without her even knowing? Could she have been in Jessi's place now?

"I want to be alone now Amanda" her troubled thoughts were interrupted once again by Jessi's whisper

And this time Amanda honored her request. She had a hard time even thinking. What before was simply a heartache, a painful broken relationship had turned into something terrifying. Amanda loved Kyle but she was still a teenager. She couldn't deal with something like this. As much as she loved him she didn't want to put her life on the line for a relationship no matter how right it felt. And so Amanda ran back home, she would listen to Kyle. She would erase him from her heart and from her life. It's was painful but Jessi's mangled hands ,the missing moments from the prom, Kyle's concerned face….those were too vivid reminders of what she risked.

And since a lot of people asked. Don't worry guys. The next chapter in Unexpected consequences is almost complete. I just have to work out a few kinks and edit a few parts. It will probably be ready in Friday.
