Chapter 17.17

Jessa’s POV

Ugh! I groan loudly as I try to step out of bed.

I look at my bedside clock and I cannot believe it is already four o’clock in the evening.

Yesterday was really hectic and I cannot blame my body for wanting some extra rest.

With some determination, I force myself out of the bed and decide to take a quick shower.

I step into the bathroom and do all my business and just as I step out of the bathroom, I hear a knock on my door.

I ask who it is and the reply I get is not what I would have ever expected.

'Hey Jessa, it is me.’ is the short reply I get for my question.

I know whom that voice belongs to but I still ask the person's name just to make sure my ear is not failing me.

'It is your best friend, Halley' is the unexpected answer I get.

I want to correct this woman she is no more my best friend but decide to play it cool to know her real intentions for suddenly coming to my room to claim the position of my best friend.
