Part 2: Chapter 5

Tuesday afternoon, Lydia sat at a booth at Karen's Café. Chase arrived and sat across from her.

"Lydia," Chase said. "I want to talk to you about Jonathan."

"Uncle Chase," Lydia said. "I don't want to talk about Jonathan. I hate him now."

"I have proof that he wasn't just trying to get you into bed," Chase said getting out Andrew's phone and pressing play.

The recording played out.

Jonathan was in the high school hallway getting a drink of water out of the water fountain. When he finished, he turned around to see Andrew Martin.

"Oh my god," Jonathan said. "You scared me."

"Are you enjoying the dance?" Andrew asked.

"Yes," Jonathan said.

"Do you really like Lydia?" Andrew asked.

"Of course I do," Jonathan said.

"You just turned 16 a few days ago," Andrew said.

"Yeah," Jonathan said.

"And Lydia just turned 14 recently," Andrew said.

"Yes," Jonathan said.

"14-year-old girls are always love-struck and easy to influence aren't they?" Andrew asked.

"You're making it sound like I just want Lydia to jump into bed with me," Jonathan said.

"Maybe," Andrew said.

"That is not true!" Jonathan shouted. "I would never use Lydia like that!"

"Sure," Andrew said.

"Why are you always such a jerk to me?" Jonathan asked.

"I don't like you," Andrew said.

"And I don't like you," Jonathan said.

There was a sound of Andrew laughing.

"I hope it recorded all that," Andrew said. "A little editing and I'm all set."

"Oh my god," Lydia said. "Jonathan was telling the truth. I'm a horrible person."

"No you're not," Chase said.

"Jonathan will never forgive me," Lydia said. "He probably hates me."

"He doesn't hate you," Chase said. "He's miserable without you. He's been crying."

Lydia looked over to see Jonathan standing there.

"I'm so sorry," Lydia said. "Can you ever forgive me?"

Jonathan and Lydia began making out.

"I guess that answers that question," Chase said.

Jonathan and Lydia continued to make out.

"Okay guys," Chase said. "You forgive each other."

Jonathan and Lydia still continued to make out.

"Breathe!" Chase shouted.

Jonathan and Lydia stopped kissing.

"Okay," Chase said. "It's time to go Jonathan."

"I'll see you tomorrow," Jonathan said.

"See you tomorrow," Lydia said.
