Chapter 36

First thing on the Monday morning both Jen and Tilly had smiles from ear to ear. Monday morning, that never ever happened for either of them unless they were together. Monday was the worst day of the week, but how could the two not be happy after what took place last night. They couldn't have been moody if they tried to be.

Jen and Tilly cuddled up for a few more minutes, taking in what actually happened last night before having to drag themselves up from the very comfortable place they were laid in and taking a quick shower together.

After they'd taken a quick shower without letting anything get heated they jumped straight out. They'd already snoozed there alarms about five times this morning so even if they did allow things to go further they'd be late for college. It never even passed either of their minds. There was no way on this earth they'd even be able to try after last night. It had left them all worn out that was for sure.

Finally after another hour of getting themselves ready they were all set and ready to leave this hotel room behind. taking a picture of one another on the bed then taking a picture of the two of them they knew looking at these pictures would remind them of the time they'd spent here for sure. Just as the two were picking up their bags Tillys phone started to buzz. It was the same number which had text her on the day of their romantic meal and Tilly was terrified.

''Jen, Jen its a text from the number'' Tilly blurted out causing Jen to spin around in shock. Letting go of her bags at the door and shooting back to Tillys side as Tillys hand guided the open button.

With Jen by her side Tillys finger lingered around the open button for some time. She didn't know whether she even wanted to open it, not now not ever. This could be a message that would break them, break Jen in face, break Jens whole life. This was a message that could be life changing for the two of them and both could feel the terror building throughout them. Both sat on the end of the bed, Tilly didn't know whether she was going to faint or scream. But, finally opening the message to see what she might find.

Tilly are you in college today? Got something to tell you :D

Tilly felt sick, herself and Jen both looked at one another terrified. Who ever this person was, was going to be at the college today, might of even went to her college. This message scared Jen and Tilly out of their skin. Jen even suggested not turning up to work today, which wasn't Jen at all. Tilly could see the tears building up in her eyes as well as her own. They were right to be scared this whole thing could go terribly wrong. Who knows?

Sure, where?

Tilly managed to return the message. She wanted nothing more than to jump up and down, scream shout, break something. Herself and Jen were going nowhere until they had received another message from this person. So they sat, waiting for the message to come through. While waiting Tilly explained to Jen they would go to college today and what ever happened, they would deal with the situation together.

Common room? Break time, See you there x

Common room? break time? leaving a kiss. Who the hell could it have been? For now, Tilly and Jen told themselves it didn't have to be all that bad. It could be someone who would never do anything to hurt Tilly, and they hadn't told anyone up till now so this person not tell anyone at all. At least after break they would know. So for now, it was put to the back of their minds, they picked back up their bags and headed out the doors, down the stairs and into the jeep to return back home.

Tilly left her bags in the boot of Jens jeep while Jen dropped her off around the corner from the college. Jen felt terrible having to leave Tilly to walk, but with everything that was going on now there was no way on earth she could even risk driving into college with Tilly, no way what so ever. But one thing Jen did know was she was also going to be in the common room at break time. That was for sure. Tilly was not doing this alone, even if Jen couldn't be there during the conversation, she would be right there behind her.

Tilly saw Esther outside the college doors alone sat on the bench, she looked so sad, so alone. So without a second thought Tilly walked straight towards her. If Sinaed and Ruby had given her hell again she sure wasn't going to be nice this time.

''Hey Es, you alright?'' she asked concerned.

''Yeah, I'm fine just tired'' Esther smiled to the face of Tilly stood before her. ''You look tired yourself'' she added.

''Yeah, I didn't get much sleep last night. Come on its freezing out here'' Tilly held out her arm and of course Esther stood up and took it right away. To be met just inside the college by George and Phoebe, another two who cared for Esther, and didn't want her being bullied. These are the only people Esther needed around her now, the true friends who looked out for her no matter what.

All four taking a seat in the common room together, talking about their weekends. Some laughs, some boring times and some stupid things they'd done. Causing them to laugh, turning around to find people looking in their direction. Obviously because Esther was there.

''What you all looking at? Got a problem?'' Tilly asked causing people to feel uncomfortable not knowing where to look.

''Yeah! Something bothering you?'' Phoebe joined in, but no one answered, and everyone looked away instantly.

This caused Esther to smile, also causing Jen to smile who was walking past when. ''Thanks'' Esther said. But all three tutted at Esther telling her there was no need to thank them. They were her friends, and they were there for her. That is all that mattered.

Through the first and second lesson of the day Jen and Tilly's minds were doing overtime. They couldn't possibly think if they tried to, the only thing that was on their minds was meeting up with this person today, if not thinking about that they were thinking about the night before. Which definitely wasn't the time or place to be doing so. But finally, here was the time they'd both been waiting for. It was break time. Is it the end or not?

Jen quickly rushed her class out and made her way straight down to get herself a coffee and sit herself down before anyone else. Then when this person did turn up, she was already there watching. Then students started to arrive and sit down, but Jen only noticed one. Tilly, she looked so pale, she actually looked as if she was about to faint, Jen felt so sorry for the girl because she was going through the same. If only she could run to her side and hold onto her she would, without a second thought.

Tilly sat herself down alone in the corner, looking around and around to see who would be coming her way, and there this person was. Happily walking across towards her and sitting down.

''Its you? You're the one texting?'' Tilly said angrily.

''Yeah, I thought you knew it was me? I wondered why you didn't text me back. Have you deleted my number or something?''

''I don't know! So you know? What you gonna do about it?'' Tilly asked more angry than ever.

It was Laura, and Tilly did in fact delete her number and was more angry than ever before.

''Tilly, I already knew. Why do you think I felt stupid after you outed me for liking you in front of her? Remember you talked about her day in day out when you were away'' replied Laura

''But a picture though? Pretty messed up don't you think why couldn't you have just said you knew do you know what you have put us through? It's been hell for us'' said Tilly calmer.

''I didn't think, I am sorry. But I did already know before then. I see the way you look at each other, and the things you told me when you were away it's not rocket science. I wouldn't dream of telling anyone it's none of my business and we're friends I wouldn't do that'' explained Laura putting her hand on Tillys.

''Oh thank god'' Tilly smiled. ''Anyway what did you wanna tell me?'' Tilly asked with a smile.

''I got offered a job in new york I am leaving next week so wondered if you'd like to come out tonight say goodbye?'' Laura said with a huge smile.

Tilly stood up, she was pleased for Laura, but more glad she would be leaving. At least if she'd leave there was no way of her changing her mind and opening her mouth. Tilly said congratulations and accepted the offer to going out tonight. Laura wrapped her arms around Tilly and thanked her, with that she skipped away with a smile on her face. Not a care in the world.

''Tilly be ready for about 6'' Laura shouted causing everyone to look, and causing Tilly to go bright red in the face. Not only that, Jen was gob smacked to everything she'd just saw. Laura was so open, she didn't have a care in the world. She was jealous. People looked at Tilly for a minute, then just looked away again. No one even cared. But when it was her, there was a whole thing going around about them.

Why the hell does Tilly pull in all the teachers Jen thought and laughed to herself, then her phone buzzed.

All clear, she knew about you all along. Used to tak about you back at my nans and it didn't take her long to figure it out. She's leaving next week, got a job in new york so we're going out tonight. Your coming ;) Love you always.

Jen smiled, could life get any better?
