Just as Jess was about to say something to AJ, her mother's voice came from the house. "JESSICA! Phone!" Miranda called.
"Dammit," she swore under her breath. "Who is it?" she called back to her mom as she started walking slowly back to her house.
"BRIANA!" Miranda replied. Jess smacked her forhead.
"Not her...." she said.
"Jess, just talk to her," Nick said.
"Talk to her? TALK TO HER? After she ignored me for how long? After she pushed me to depression? I don't THINK so!" Jess screamed.
"Ok, don't talk to her," Nick muttered. Jess glared at him.
"Actually, you're right. I will talk to her, even though I don't know how much talking will be done," Jess sighed, walking to her house and picking up the phone. "Yes, Briana?" she asked coldly.
"I was just wondering if you wanted to come over for a bit," Briana said.
"Briana, what makes you think I'm gonna forgive you now for what happened?" Jess asked.
"What happened?" Briana, ever the dumb blonde, asked.
"What happened? WHAT HAPPENED?" Jess said, her voice raising. "You've ignored me for practically this whole year, and you ask what happened? You, along with others, push me into depression, and you asked what happened?" Jess said, her voice raising even more. Then she slammed down the phone.
