Chapter Fourteen

Third Person's P.O.V

Jessica and Gemma erupted into a fit of laughter. " WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING!!" Yelled Nikita angrily. "WHAT! CAN'T THEY LAUGH? IS IT NOW ILLEGAL TO LAUGH?" replied Evan sarcastically. "YOU!!!" replied Nikita frustratingly. "YES, THIS IS ME AND THAT IS THOMAS AND THAT IS GEMMA AND JESSICA. WE ARE ALL HERE IN THIS ROOM RIGHT NOW." replied Evan with a smug look on his face. Gemma and Jessica are now red in the face due to all their laughter. Nikita stormed out of the living room into her shared room with Robyn. They heard the room door slam shut and it was silent. "Well...that was interesting." said Gemma before going to her room to grab her bag and walked towards the door. "Where are you going now?" asked Katherine with a look of disbelief. "I have a meeting to attend, I'll be back in about an hour. Don't wait up." replied Gemma bluntly. "Yeah, I also have to go. I'll chat to you guys later. I'll walk with you." said Thomas after he greeted Evan and the rest. Gemma walked past Quinton and whispered to him, "Tell your girlfriend I say Hi and that I can't wait to meet her when she gets here." Quinton looked flabbergasted. Thomas overheard the brief conversation and chuckled until his breath. Gemma turned to say goodbye to Jessica and sees her giving Gemma a smug look. " Oh, shut up!!" said Gemma to Jessica. Thomas gave them a confused expression.

Gemma and Thomas are waiting for the bus when they start talking about the events that just took place. "I am sorry for what just happened it was not my intention for you to be brought into it." said Gemma with a look of sincerity. "Yeah, it is what it is." replied Thomas with a shrug of the shoulders. "Where are you off to anyway?" asked Thomas curiously. "Well if you must know I am off to see a real estate agent to look at flats nearby." replied Gemma laughing slightly. "Are you planning on moving here?" asked Thomas shocked. "No shit sherlock that is why I am going to see a real estate agent." replied Gemma laughing. Thomas rolled his eyes and smiled," I was just asking." "It's fine, don't even worry about it." replied Gemma with a smile and a slight blush. The bus stopped in front of a music store called 'Music Mania'. "Well this is where I get off, text you later." said Thomas with a smile. "Yeah, enjoy work. Text you later." replied Gemma smiling. Thomas waves at her and gets off the bus. Gemma watched him enter the shop with a smile plastered on her face. Two bus stops after Thomas got off, Gemma gets off making her way to a woman standing there with a smile on her face, "Hi, are you Gemma Lightwood?" She asked with a bright smile. "Yes, that's me and you must be Rose Lockwood?" replied Gemma with a smile. " That is correct." answered Rose laughing slightly.

"So this is the flat we were talking about on the phone and as you can see it is a three bedroom flat with four bathrooms and a large living room right next to the kitchen which is next to the front door." said Rose as she showed Gemma around the flat. "I love it, how much is it per month?" asked Gemma. "It is £9000 per month." replied Rose. "I'll take it!" said Gemma with a bright smile. They signed all the paperwork right there and made the deposit. After her meeting Gemma made her way to the Hotel to get her things and ask Jessica and Caitlyn to move in with her. She decided to walk considering that it isn't really a long walk from the flat to the hotel. Once she arrives at the hotel, she noticed that Quinn, Evan, James and Adam had left. The only people remaining were Katherine, Brett, Logan, Nikita, Robyn, Caitlyn and Jessica. "Where were you?!?!" yelled Katherine with a scowl. Gemma ignored her and went straight to her hotel room beckoning Jessica to follow her. "What's up? Where were you? And how did it go with Thomas?" asked Jessica as she followed Gemma into their shared room. "I'll answer all your questions after you answer mine." replied Gemma while she grabbed her suitcases. Jessica looked at her expectantly. "Move in with me?" asked Gemma finally looking at Jessica, seeing her standing there with a shocked look and her mouth opening and closing like a goldfish. "I-I-I, Sure. You have a lot of explaining to do." Jessica finally answered after a while. They both packed their bags and made their way out their room, but not before sending Caitlyn a text asking the same question and getting a 'Send me the address and I'll meet you there.' "Where are you two going?" asked Robyn breaking her silent pact from the fight. "I found a flat not too far from here that Jessica, Caitlyn and I can move into. That's all you need to know for now." replied Gemma bluntly before giving them her and Jessica's part of the hotel payments. The girls turned and left without another word to their childhood friends feeling the crack that made its way through their long-standing friendship.

Jessica and Gemma arrived at the flat and started unpacking as much as they can. Gemma sat on her bedroom floor with her laptop ordering beds online as Jessica entered the room and sat next to her. "We have to talk about this. How long have you been planning on staying here?" asked Jessica even though she already knew the answer. "From the moment we got here. I just fell in love with this place the minute we got here. I know that it's not ideal, but it feel like this is where I should be with you by my side." replied Gemma softly with a smile dancing on her face. "You sure that is the only reason why you decided to stay?" asked Jessica with a teasing smile. "What other reason is there?" countered Gemma confused. "Well I can think of one blue-green eyed reason." replied Jessica laughing. "Oh, shut up, Thomas and I are friends." replied Gemma with a small smile. "But you want it to be more." added Jessica with a teasing smile knowing she got her friend trapped. Gemma just shoved her to the side and started laughing at the look of disbelief that crossed her friend's face. Every demon that lurked outside those doors were forgotten about as the two girls sat in that room with smiles dancing on their faces unaware of what waits for them in the near future.
