JESSICA'S POV
I woke up with a headache. It felt like i was beaten with a hammer, it was really painful.
Waking up early in the morning and the first thing i feel is a throbbing pain in my head. I've got a pretty bad feeling about how today is going to be.
I sat up from bed and just stayed like that, any moment from now we would start our morning devotion.
But one thing's for sure, am not sure i would be comfortable with Alex the way i normally used to be. Definetly not after what katie told Fave, for some reason i couldn't shake off the ominous feeling i had that something terrible would happen. At this point i have no choice but to leave all my burdens in the hands of God, for Jesus said in the bible "Come to me, all those who are heavy burdened and i shall give you rest"
Am feeling really burdened with all that is going through my mind. Am just going to trust in God yo help me in this situation that am in, that's the only choice i have right now.
Few minutes after just staring at the ceilings i got on my kness and prayed.
"Father lord thank you for your grace and mercy upon my life, i ask that you please forgive me if i have sinned against you. And lord please if it be your will let this cup pass over me. In Jesus name, Amen".

I wasn't really feeling like doing anything so i just stayed at home, not like i had anywhere going before. Normally when am feeling bored like this i would go to Katie's house but.... I wasn't feeling like it. Am not entirely sure i would talk to katie any time from now. What she did wasn't really acceptable, so it's best if i just give her space.
She might actually enjoy it, atleast if she wants to spend time with fave i won't be there to stop her or prevent it from happening. Anytime fave's around it feels like am forcing myself on Katie. But maybe that's because fave not always around.
I had promised myself that i will avoid Alex for now, because i get anxious when i hear his name or remember what katie did. But here i am, sitting down inside his house.
My mom sent me to the market to get some stuff then i ran into Alex who pleaded with me that i should please follow him home, that he needs someone to take care of his siblings that he needed to go somewhere, so i just decided to help him.
"Where are you going that's more important than staying at home, with your siblings". I had asked him earlier. I couldn't deny the fact that i was really curious as to where he was going to.
" Just....some where really important ". He repiled.
So i accepted to help and here i am at his house with his two younger siblings. After spending time with them i learnt a lot about Alex about their family, atleast what they knew about. I wasn't feeling anxious anymore i felt relieved and happy.
AUTHOR'S POV
The sun had already left the sky, it was evening time but you could clearly see the moon in the sky already. Fave stood there just staring at nothing.
Then she suddenly titled her head to her left and saw Jessica's mom and she started moving towards her immediately. It seemed like she had been standing there waiting for her.
"Good morning ma" Fave greeted Jess mom standing behind her.
It took her half a minute to recognize fave, then she smiled and responded politely.
"Fave, right?" She asked as fave nodded in response.
"Oh, how are you?, i thought you people left this town?"
"Well...., am fine" she said.
"I just came up back because i just missed the town i grew up in"
"Okay" she responded.
"That's good".
After some time of walking together fave asked jess mom after the stalking incident then said something she shouldn't have said.
" But...that's not what happened " Fave said when jess mom had finished explaining what happened.
"How?"
"I visited Katrina the day i arrived and she told me what really happened" Fave told jess mom who was now both shocked and curious.
"What did Katrina tell you?" Jess mom asked curiously.
" i don't mean to cause any trouble, though
" ...but she mentioned a guys name" fave said then paused, probably thinking of the name.
" is it alex? ....yeah Alex" she said confidently .
" Alex? " Jess mom asked in disbelief
" The one i know or...?" She asked again.
" Dunno, but i think he is you guys neighbour"
" Alex?, neighbour?" Jess mom asked not wanting to believe what she was hearing.
" Yeah, so....she met Alex that day and talked with him for a long time which made her forget whatever she forgot then...." Fave paused thinking.
"She lied, came up with a whole new story"
"Why?, why would she do such?" Jess mom asked in disbelief all these was hard was her to process.
"Maybe to seek attention?, i don't know" Fave responded.
She continued talking oblivious to the fact that jess mom was not even listening to whatever she was saying.
"She's always been like that, the attention seeker, so the story was just a cover up for her action?"
"I know she's always been jeal..."
Whatever she was saying was not entering jess mom's ear she was lost deep i her thoughts.
Different type of scenarios that she thought happened were already forming in her head.
And who knows how she react good or bad?.
Jessica was right for reacting like that towards Katie 'cause Fave has done something in reversible that will break trust, break relationships, break friendship.
And she's claiming jessica did it all for attention. But the real question is why, did she do it. Why did she wait for Jessica mother and tell her all those things?.
What was her actual reason for coming back?
Will katie apologized or not?
Will katie realize her mistake or still blame Jessica that she's been paranoid?.
