Flora's POV
I was another day and I had nothing better to do so I decided to give my house a new coat of paint. It was really late when I started, a little before the high school let out probably. I was outside on a ladder when I heard a car pull up, but I didn't turn around until I heard who it was.
"Flora, Drake Collins was arrested today on charges for child pornography," Mrs. Knot started.
"So?" I asked as I turned around from my house.
"He was also released today. He said he never forwarded that text he said he was too embarrassed for Emilie and it was a personal thing. You are taking this thing way too far. Mr. Smith and I have been getting phone calls from irate parents saying the same thing. It was Emilie's choice that she made not ours she chose to kill herself," Mrs. Knot started to walk off to her car.
"I want the cell phone records!" I yelled as she shut her door and drove off. The other day after our fight they decided they'd get the cell phone records from the police and show them to me.
I then thought of something I could do that wasn't useless. I checked my phone to see that the high school probably just let out and the students were going home. I got in my car and drove off to the road Jen took to walk back home. When I finally spotted Jen on the side of the street I pulled up to her as I rolled my window down.
"Jen I need to walk to you."
"I can't be seen with you," Jen continued to walk.
"Wait, it'll only take two minutes," I pulled my car over and turned it off. I jumped out of my car and went over to Jen.
"What? I have to get home."
"On homecoming. What happened?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean did anything happen between Drake and Kiersten, or Drake and Emilie. Did any of them do anything?"
Jen's POV flashback
I was on the dance floor with some of my friends when I saw Kiersten dragging Drake by the hand somewhere. I think she was taking him to the private room in the back of here that had a bed.
End of flashback
I was still looking at Mrs. Vandalite I remembered, but I didn't want to tell her. Instead I started to walk off without answering. Then Mrs. Vandalite spurted something out.
"Jen…did Kiersten send you that text?"
I stopped dead in my tracks and I turned my head towards her.
Flashback
I was sitting on a bench reading a book when I heard Emilie talking to Drake. I didn't turn around, but I listened to their conversation.
"Drake come on tell the kids to stop teasing me. They respect you and they'll listen to you," I heard Emilie begging to Drake.
"It's not that simple Emilie."
I then heard someone in heels walking up towards them. It was probably Kiersten since she made so much noise in her heels.
"Hey Drake why are you talking to Emilie Vandaslut?" I heard Kiersten mock.
"Oh shut it!" I heard Emilie yell and then storm off.
"Why won't you cut her some slack or something?"
"Cause Earth to Drake Emilie Vandalite deserves it duh."
"No she didn't"
"Uh yeah she did. She sent out a text of her practically naked for the world to see and it'll never die out."
"Well maybe if you didn't send it out to the whole world to see. She sent that text to me and to me alone. What did you take my phone at the party and send it to the whole football team?"
"Ok I admit I took your phone, but I only sent it to one person."
"Later."
End of flashback
I turned my whole body towards her and finally confessed.
"Ok yes Kiersten sent me that text, but what difference does it make?"
"It makes a big difference Jen. Thank you." Mrs. Vandalite then got back in her car to leave me to go back walking to my house.
Later Flora's POV
I was in the kitchen when I heard a knock at the door. I was thinking it was a delivery guy or someone, but it turns out it was Drake. I was wondering why he was here. I opened up the door and went on the porch with him.
"Hi," Drake greeted.
"Hey, come sit," I walked over to the bench I had on the porch. I sat down and gestured him to sit down too. When he finally did I told him what was on my mind. "I know it wasn't you."
"I understand why you thought it was me. You thought it was me because she sent that text to me and only me."
"I'm sorry, I should've believed you."
"If I wasn't a jerk to Emilie maybe she wouldn't be dead right now. I just feel so guilty for this whole situation. This whole thing probably started out with me being a jerk. I was a jerk to her and that caused her to send that picture. When that picture came out the kids started teasing her and it started to spiral out of control. I didn't do anything to help to stop it from doing that. All I did was stand there like a loner and not help."
While he said that I remembered one day.
Flashback normal POV
Flora and Emilie were in their car and Emilie was looking at Drake with some of his friends. He and her were broken up and weren't really close anymore.
"Still hard seeing him isn't it. Well just think of it this way it's his lost. You're such a great girl Emilie. Now you better get off to school. I love you."
"Love you too." Emilie got out of the car and Flora drove off to work.
While Emilie was walking off to school she passed Drake, but didn't talk to him. On her way to school she received an unusual text and she ran in the opposite direction from the school.
Please Review! Sorry it's a bit shorter than usual, but I'm sick and plus if I go too far the chapter after this one would've been too short since I'm going to leave it at a cliffhanger.
