Chapter Thirteen

Third Person's P.O.V.

After Gemma left the café, the boys and Brittney look at each other with wide eyes. They don't understand what just happened. " What the hell just happened?" asked Quinton with a confused expression on his face. "I think that her friends are not happy about the fact that she made other friends." said Thomas with a frown etched on his face. "Or at least that is what it sounded like from what I heard from the call." he continued still frowning. "That doesn't make any sense. Why would her friends not want her to make new friends? That's ridiculous!" said Brittney with a look of disbelief. The rest of them just stared at her and wondered the same thing. "Does anyone know where she is staying?" asked Evan curiously. "Yeah, she is staying at a hotel not too far from here." replied James. "Well, let's go and find out what the hell is going on. Who is with me?" asked Evan with a knowing look. "I get off in about 5 minutes then we can go if that's cool with you." replied Britt. "Sure, we'll wait for you." said Quinton.

They arrived at the hotel unaware of what is waiting for them on the second floor in room number 24. They walked up to the receptionist and asked in what room she was staying in. "I'm sorry, sir, but we cannot disclose such information to you." said the man. " I am her brother and I came to visit her, but she forgot to tell me which room number she is in. I tried to message her, but she isn't answering her phone." replied Adam without missing a beat. The man looked at him sceptically. "I am her adopted brother. Not that it is any of your business so would you kindly tell where she is before I call you manager down here to sort this out." Adam said threateningly. "Uh...no sir. I understand. She is on the second floor, room 24." replied the man, his voice breaking slightly. Adam smiled at the man mockingly and they walked to the elevator going up to the second floor. Once they reached the second floor and the elevator doors open, they heard shouting from the down the hallway. They kept on walking until they reached room 24 and realised that the shouting is coming from this room. They looked at each other with worried expressions and Adam hesitantly knocked on the door. "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!?!?!" shouted Nikita with her face blood red and Gemma standing behind her with her hand on her forehead. They looked at her with shocked expressions and suddenly a phone started ringing. It is Quinton's. "Hey, yeah...I'll message you the address. Ok bye." he said into the phone. "Hey Kat, did you find Gemma?" asked James with a smug look and pushed passed Nikita walking into the hotel room. The rest followed and Nikita looked like she was about to explode. "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS?!" she shouted furiously. "No need to shout" muttered Gemma and Thomas simultaneously. "We are standing right here, so maybe talking to us like we are human beings." added Evan sarcastically. "Yeah, it's not like we are bond villains or anything." replied Quinn with a smile.

"What are you doing here?" asked Gemma with wide eyes. "We came here to check if you are alright, you looked very sad when you left Starbucks." replied Thomas. "That's sweet, but how did you even know where I was staying?" she asked confused. "Oh, Kat told me." replied James while looking at Katherine smiling deviously. Gemma looked at Kat with a 'seriously' look. "What? He is like my brother so I tell him where i am going in case something happens." answered Katherine with a shrug. Gemma threw her hands up in the air shaking her head. " I cannot deal with this right now" she said as she left the room, going to her room. "I got her. Boys and girls just make yourself comfortable. Nikita don't kill anyone." Jessica said as she pointed to Nikita with a knowing look. Jessica entered Gemma's room cautiously, remembering the last Gemma lost her temper and someone tried to calm her down. "Hey, is it safe to enter?" asked Jessica with a small smile. "Yeah, don't worry I'm not angry just frustrated." replied Gemma running her fingers her hair " Look, I'm sorry about the phone call. I was just worried as to where you were. I got your message last night and when I went to look for you, you were already gone and when I woke this morning you weren't here, I got scared." said Jessica with tears in her eyes. "Hey, don't cry my love. I am alright and I left a note saying where I was going." replied Gemma hugging Jessica. " I only saw your note after our phone call and I immediately regretted calling you in the first place. I don't care that you made friends, actually I am happy that you made new friends that see everything that I see in you. Plus, there are a few cute boys there with you as well." Jessica replied smiling and wiggling her eyebrows. " Oh, shut up" replied Gemma laughing. " So, are we good?" Asked Jessica with a smile. "Always." replied Gemma giving her a hug.

"So, what are we going to do about the drama outside?" asked Jessica. "We are going out there and try to deal with it while avoiding any fights." replied Gemma smiling slightly. Jessica and Gemma get up and go back to where the others are sitting. As they get closer, they hear Nikita shouting at Evan. "YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO JUST SHOW UP AND EXPECT US TO OK WITH ALL OF THIS!!!!! ALL THIS CRAP THAT'S HAPPENING IS YOUR FAULT ALONG WITH YOUR GROUP OF 'FRIENDS'!!!" Yelled Nikita with a blood red face. Evan just sits there and stares at her with blank look on his face. "Now why do have to shout?" asked Gemma the same time Thomas asked, "Is it necessary to shout like that?" Jessica gave Gemma a look while she just slightly shoved her and walked further into the room. "Besides it's not his fault the you left me alone at a party with a bunch of random people!!" argued Gemma. "Well, if you never took us to that party then it would never have happened." countered Nikita. "Oh, so are you going to be James too for throwing a party?" asked Gemma. "You cannot blame other people for going about their lives and making the choices they make. You messed up and now you are guilty so you are blaming others to cover up that guilt." said Gemma with her arms crossed and eyebrows raised. "You know it's your fault as well. Why didn't you just leave her alone on the bus? If you didn't become friends with her then none of this would've happened." said Nikita with a smug look across her face glaring at Thomas and Quinton. "Excuse you, don't blame us for being friendly to cover up your guilt because you left her at a party." replied Thomas exaggeratingly. " Yeah, you left her alone at a party only for her to walk to a bus stop in the middle of the night by herself when anything could've happened. "Added Quinn sarcastically. Jessica and Gemma tried to hide a smile but failed to do so.
