Jess slid down to the kitchen floor, tears streaming down her face. She never heard everyone come in. But she did feel a hand on her shoulder. "What's wrong, Jessie?" Kev asked.
Jumping up, she shouted, "WHAT'S WRONG? What do you think is wrong? One of my best friends decided to turn into the biggest bitch alive, that's what's wrong!" She ran to her room.
"That didn't go very well," Howie stated. AJ rolled his eyes.
"Ya think?" he asked sarcastically. They heard a new pair of footsteps coming from the front door.
"I thought you guys would be here when you weren't at Nicky's," a voice said. All five heads spun to look at her.
"Nadine!" Kev said, running up to her and hugging her. "I thought you had work!"
"I did." nadine grinned evilly. "I got Bill to cover for me. Extra-long lunch break." Kevin laughed.
"Nadie, these are the rest of the guys- AJ and Howie, and you know Frick and Frack. Guys, this is my girlfriend, Nadine." Kevin inroduced.
"HI," Howie smiled.
"Hi y'all. Speaking of which, were is Freak?" she asked, looking around at the faces.
"Briana called," Brian explained. A look of recognization came on her face.
"Shit, I'll go talk to that poor girl. Why did Briana have to call now?" she said.
"Just be glad it wasn't Anna," Nick said coldly.
"If it was Anna, I'd have taken the phone and beaten the shit out of her," Brian said.
"She still hoping for Pat to call?" Nadine asked quietly. Brian, Nick, and Kevin all nodded. "Poor girl. If she wasn't so much in love with him, it'd be easy. But since she is, it just makes it harder. If that made any sense."
"Nadie, how bout you stop rambling and go talk to Jess?" Kev teased gently. Nadine just laughed and went upstairs.
