Chapter Three
Cleo, Jen's best friend, stood on the porch of her new home in a familiar place. She couldn't want to see her best friend. She was finally back like she's been waiting for. Four years. that's how long it took for her to get away back her. Jen her best friend was the only person she counted as family. Although she wasn't able to keep it touch with her she's the only person in the world she thought of to talk to. She quickly ran towards her room and sat her bag in her room as her "brothers" sat downstairs.
Alex, Cleo's brother sat sipping his coffee as he heard his little sister Cleo run upstairs. Sometimes he wondered, how they were related. When they both acted so different, compared to their other brother Nathan who was similar to him. Cleo ran into the room where her brother sat down sipping his coffee. She stood up more confident that ever being back was the only way to help her. She was so thankful that Alex had decide to talk to their parents about letting them move back.
Alex, watched as he was reminded of how his sister was before everything happened, including them moving.
"where are you going?" Alex asked sitting his coffee on the table. He was the one that was suppose to be in charge of them so he held a lot of responsibilities. Cleo rolled her eyes.
"I'm going to see Jenny" Cleo said excited. Alex smiled remembering his sister's little sister Jenny.
"be careful then" He stretched the words careful. Cleo smirked at his reaction when she mentioned her best friend. It was to clear when they were younger that Alex held a soft spot for her best friend. Although she did hate her brothers, she still loved them. Cleo walked out of the house into her car heading to a familiar house, known Jen never moved.
She wanted to surprise her. When she got to the house she knocked on the door but no one responded.
"Jenny!?" Cleo called out but didn't hear a response.
"Cleo?" a familiar voice called out to her. Cleo turned around to see a familiar figure of Josh.Jacob's , Jen's twin brother's, best friend.
Cleo smiled at Josh and nodded. Josh smiles.
"Do you know where Jenny is?" Cleo asks. Josh smiles sadly nodding her head. Cleo's smile dropped. looking at Josh's sad smile.
"She's at the hospital. I haven't spoken much to Jacob it a few months but I saw the ambulance pull up here yesterday night" Josh explained. Cleo's eyes widen and filled with worry over her best friend.
"What happened?" Cleo asked
"I'm not sure. however over the past few years, Jacob has started to act different towards Jenny. Yesterday at school, Jenny got into a fight with Lacy, Jacob's current girlfriend, over something really serious and after the fight. Jacob didn't ask Jen what happen even though He wasn't there to see the fight or no what happened and I'm guessing things went south. I was going to go check on her today at the hospital. Do you want to come with me?" Josh asked after explaining what happened.
Cleo followed Jacob to his car that was sitting at his house across the street. She got into the drivers seat as Josh started the car.
"So what happened between you and Jacob?" Cleo asked looking at Josh as they drove to the hospital. Josh smiled sadly.
"You know how I told you about the girl he's going out with?"
"Lacy?" Cleo asked and Josh nodded.
"She's brainwashing him. I'm hoping whatever happened with Jen would make him realizes it"
"Me to however I don't think Jen would be able to forgive him for all this" Cleo sighed
"I know" Josh said sadly
Jacob sat next to his sister who was still fast asleep, waiting for her to wake up. His emotions were running high. How stupid could he be? What the main question that ran through his mind. He heard a knock on the door. He turned his head to see Josh walking into the room. Josh had a unreadable expression toward him now.
"Josh?" Jacob said to his ex-best friend
"How's Jenny?" Josh said to Jacob
"She's doing better"
"What happened?" Josh asked looking at Jenny sadly. Josh always saw Jenny as his little sister. It hurt seeing her like this in the hospital. Jacob looked back at his sister.
"She tried to commit suicide. I came home knocked on her door and didn't hear anything so I opened her door and found her on her floor in a pool of her blood. I called 9-1-1 and got her to the hospital just in time"
Josh looked at Jacob it the most heated look. Cleo who stood at the door came in and glared at Jacob.
"Cleo?" Jacob said shocked
"You really did it this time" Cleo came over to the other chair at the other end of the room. She took her best friend's hand into hers. It was weird. Seeing her best friend in the hospital after four years. A tear ran down her face.
"You were suppose to protect her yet you let some girl who's been trying to brainwash you hurt your sister" Josh said crossing his arms over his chest. He was frustrated with Jacob worse than he's ever been. Jacob didn't say anything but looked toward the ground.
