Jess' Point Of View

I took Liam and we walked out of school as soon as an ambulance came to take the kid who got electrocuted away to the hospital. I can't believe this. That could have been Liam and then I would have been meeting Ezra at the hospital, with the chance that Liam could have died.

What if I didn't figure out what the text meant? What if I didn't get there in time? What if Liam didn't listen to me? I don't want to think about it. Losing Liam, I don't know what I would do. He's my brother and he is really all I have. I do have Ezra, but I don't really consider him family; at least not yet.

I mean he is cool and all, but I have only known him a few days, at least he is decent from what I can see. Liam gets in the car and I get in the front seat. I take out my phone and I go to delete that text from "A". I don't want to look at it, but somehow, I can't delete.

I move on and send a new text to Hanna, there is no way I'm leaving Liam alone tonight. Besides, this isn't the best time. After I texted Hanna, I notice Liam and looks just as scared and shocked as I am. "Liam." I say and he looks up.

"Jess. That could have been me." Liam said and I sighed. Thank god I got there when I did.

"I know. But it wasn't." I told him.

"How did you know?" Liam asked me. I sighed. How was I going to explain that to him? I mean what am I supposed to tell him. I knew because I got this text from this unknown person that is stalking me. I think that person is trying to get to me by trying to kill everyone I love.

I highly doubt that would be a good response to my little brother, or anyone. Good thing I don't have any friends really to hide things from yet. The ones I have a chance with being friends with at the moment is Hanna and Alex. I smile, thinking of Alex, I actually forgot about Liam almost dying for a second.

My phone vibrates in my pocket and I take it out. I really do hope it's not from "A", I can't deal with it now. I swear if it is, I will throw my phone out into the street. I open it and I see it's from Hanna and I sighed in relief.

Should I come over to your place? –Hanna

That actually is a good idea. I could work with Hanna, while keeping an eye on Liam, at least making sure he was alive, while telling her the whole concept on Divergent. So I started to type a reply to Hanna and then I sent it.

Okay, I'll pick you up. I'm in my car with my little brother now. I'll be there soon. –Jess

I put my phone away and then put the keys in to start the car. I feel my phone go off again and see this isn't from Hanna, but "A" and I feel butterflies in my stomach. I open the text to read it, at least this person can't do anything to Liam while I am around; I hope.

"Two little liars together? Do two liars make a truth? –A"

I didn't really get what the threat was from that one, but I know that "A" is referring to both me and Hanna. All I know is, as long as Liam is okay, I don't care. I put my phone away and start to drive towards Hanna's house. It took about 10 minutes to get there. I get out of the car, once I turned off the car.

"Where are we?" Liam asked and I turned back to him.

"I have to pick up my friend. We have to work on something for school tonight." I tell him.

"Does Ezra know?" Liam asked and I shake my head. I forgot to text him, I'll do that before I leave, if I remember. Who cares? He probably won't mind, as long as his girlfriend doesn't come by tonight. I walk up to the front door and knock a few times.

I waited and then an older woman answers the door and looks at me funny, she doesn't know me, obviously. "Can I help you?" She asked me.

"I'm here for Hanna. I'm Jess Bennings, Hanna and I have some school work to do at my place." I tell her. "Sorry, it's last minute, but I have my little brother with me." The woman looks and sees Liam and smiles.

"Right, I'm Ashley, Hanna's mom. She'll be down in a second." She says and goes to see where Hanna is. I wait for a minute and then Hanna comes out.

"You ready?" She asked and I nod and we walk to my car. "Is that your brother?" Hanna asked and I nodded.

"That's Liam." I say as we get in the car.

"Hi, I'm Hanna." She says to Liam and he smiles.

"I'm Liam." He says, happily with a smile on his face, not taking his eyes off Hanna. I really hope Liam doesn't end up having a crush on Hanna, it would not work out and I don't want to deal with Liam getting mad at me over it.

I quickly text Ezra and then I start to drive towards home. We get there in about 15 minutes and we head up to our apartment. Hanna looks around strangely. I don't understand why. "You live here?" She asked me and I nod.

I open the door to Ezra's apartment and we enter. Hanna enters last and looks around like it is familiar. "Jess! Liam! Is that you?" Ezra calls.

"Yes!" I yell back and then he comes out and Liam runs over to him like he's his real father. If only. Hanna stares at Ezra wide eyed, she had no idea what was going and I didn't understand why she was looking at him like that.

Ezra looks and see's Hanna and his eyes widen. "Hanna?" He questioned.

"Ezra?" Hanna questioned, it was like they knew each other.

"You two know each other?" I ask and Hanna and Ezra look at each other. They obviously did, but from where.

"Uh, I—" Ezra said.

"He thought me. He was my English teacher." Hanna said and Ezra sighed and nodded, I knew they both were hiding something, but I didn't care. I had a long day. I talked to a boy and then almost saw my brother die in front of me, I just wanted to get this over with and go to bed.

Hanna and I go to my room, while Liam stays with Ezra. I spend the next half hour telling Hanna everything there is to know about the book. She had for the most part a good memory, so she decides not to take notes. Or maybe its fact that I am living with her old English teacher.

"Are you okay?" I ask her.

"Yeah Fine." Hanna said, I knew it was lie, but I really didn't care at this point.

"Look, I've had a really long day. I don't mean to be rude—" I said, I just wanted to go to bed. I was tired and I just wanted the day to end. Hanna nodded, she seemed almost eager to leave.

"No problem, but can I ask you something?" Hanna asked and I nodded.

"You and your brother. You're living with Ezra. He's your father?" Hanna asked. She was interested in Ezra, I thought it was weird.

"Kind of. Not our real father. Liam and I, we were in the foster system and well, Ezra adopted us and we had to move here. It's not the ideal family or living arrangement, but it beats what we had. Plus, Liam likes him. All I care about is Liam. He is all I really have and I have to make sure he is okay." I said and Hanna nodded and we walked out of the room.

Hanna eyes widened when she saw someone with ezra that wasn't Liam; it was that girl, Aria.

"Hanna?" Aria questioned.

"Aria?" Hanna questioned.

"What are you doing here?"

"Uh—" Hanna said. It was awkward. Why did I have the feeling that there was a good reason why Aria was here?

"She was working with me. On the project." I say and Aria looks at me funny.

"Why here?" Aria asked.

"Because I live here." I say and the whole room goes silent.

Dun Dun Dun! Can you believe it? I know right! Aria is Ezra's boyfriend and she finds out that Jess' father is Ezra, well that's how everyone but Jess would see it anyway.

I hope you like it. Please Review! They would make me super super happy! Maybe I would update more.
