Something is Up

"Aren't you hungry, Jess?" Andy asked. "It's 10:30, you gotta want some food in your system!"

"I'm really not hungry. I had a midnight snack last night...well, it was really a midnight feast. I just don't want anything to eat." Jessica said softly.

"Ok, Jess. Cut the crap. What's going on?" Tia snapped in a harsh voice.

"Nothing is going on! I'm just not hungry, ok? God, it's like I'm some freak or something. Why won't you guys just leave me alone?" Jessica growled. She jumped up and grabbed her purse before stomping out of the restaurant.

"Let's go." Tia said, dropping a few bills on their table.

Conner smiled lazily at the sight of Elizabeth sitting next to him at the parking lot of Egg Beaters. "Ready for breakfast?" He questioned.

"Sure. Let's go." Liz replied, hopping out of the car.

Conner climed out after her, and suddenly his smile froze. Jessica Wakefield was hunched over on the sidewalk in front of Egg Beaters, sobbing. He glanced nervously at Elizabeth who had already caught glance of her distraught sister.

Conner walked over to Elizabeth camly and took her hand. " We need to talk to her." He said softly. Liz nodded, as they started to walk closer a Chevy Blazer pulled into the parking lot. A Chevy Blazer with two passengars who Jessica Wakefield didn't need to see right now.

Will's mouth fell open when he saw Jessica crying with Andy and Tia rushing out of the doors to Egg Beaters to talk to her. But when Melissa saw her, all hell broke loose.

"What the hell is going on here, Will? Did you call her here to meet us? I thought you said it was just you and me, Will. Just us, forever." Melissa whispered with a heartbreaking sob.

"I didn't know she was coming here, Liss. Don't worry, it is going to be us forever." He whispered, storking her raven's hair slowly. Hating himself even more he unbuckled his seatbelt and slid over to Melissa. "I love you." He choked out the words, his throat tightening. "I love you with all my heart." Will stammered this time, but before Melissa could say a word about it, he kissed her.

"Jessica, we should go..talk about this later." Tia suggested.

"I don't need you guys to get me home. Liz and....Conner are here. They can help me." Jessica lied.

Andy reached for Jessica's hand and pulled her up. "We need to go, Jessica. Now." For the first time ever he had used a forceful tone.

"Ok." She whispered and let her friends drag her towards Andy's car. But just as she was about to get into the car, she saw them.

"Oh, no. Oh God, no." She whispered.

Throwing herself into the backseat Jessica closed her eyes, willing the picture to leave her. "Take me home, Andy. Please." She whsipered.

"Ok, Jess, we're going."

Elizabeth's eyes watered at her sister's stare. Her whole world seemed to be crashing down on her and Elizabeth couldn't do a thing about it.

"I gotta go home and talk to her, Conner. Something is up with Melissa and Will and I don't like it."
