"Channing your phone is ringing for an hour, pick it up already!!!!!" I said yelling from downstairs.

"Too tired to talk" he yelled back, the sass is real.

"Fine!" I yelled.

After that night actually Channing and I were pretty normal, I know we've kissed and he said 'I'll take care of you' and it was an lovey-dovey environment but the other day we both acted like nothing happened, honestly I don't know what are we, flirtationship maybe? Who knows? I can't focus on this right now. My mind was still busy with that 'fire' issue.

I heard Channing's footsteps from the stairs.

"So I was thinking that today we should take trip to the past." He said while making himself tea.

"Why would I want to do that?"

"Because Vanessa, it's obvious that we are missing something and I'm thinking that you didn't actually told me everything about your past."

"Why would you think like that?"

"Seriously? Why would I think like that? I don't know maybe that your friend was brutally murdered and your house was on fire on purpose and somebody has an issue with you and I can't think of any names and we weren't that good at 11th grade maybe I'm missing something and you have some stories to tell young lady"

"Sassy Channing" I said sarcastically while rolling my eyes.

"What?" He stared at me with a pointless face and I couldn't stop laughing.

"Nothing. Nothing at all." I said while covering my mouth with my hand to prevent laughing hysterically again.

"So?" He said with an eyebrow up.

Well he wasn't wrong, I didn't actually tell 'everything' to him, I didn't tell him about Mr. Lucas and honestly I wasn't a fan of telling him this but I had no other choice.

I took a deep breath and started to tell what I haven't told him before.

"There is actually something I haven't told you. Yet. Ugh I hate this ugly memory and I have been trying to forget this for a long time but you asked for it so now I'm telling you." I watched his face, I was curious about his reaction when I told him everything.

"When we were in 11th grade you were busy dating girls and playing football and I was busy studying so we weren't so close in that term, while we were living apart I was studying at the school library for late hours. And you remember our science teacher Mr. Lucas right?" He nodded and he was listening so carefully to every single word I said, I started to get uncomfortable

"So anyway one night I was studying for science again because I was stuck on an experiment that I couldn't understand so I asked Mr. Lucas is it okay if I used his laboratory and he said okay so I went to his laboratory and started to do that experiment, that was the only way for me to understand that subject, anyway it was 7 p.m. and it was already dark outside, while I was doing this experiment I heard the door opening, at first I thought it was Penny because she usually stayed late too but then I heard the door was being locked from the inside. I was afraid to turn around so I just stayed at the same position looking at the green scientific mixture I did. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, then a hand touched me and whispered in my ear "Do you need help with that" and I recognized it was Mr. Lucas's voice, he was standing close to me and it was inappropriate I got uncomfortable and said "No, in fact I should be going" but he holds my waist tightly and leaned me against the wall and said "I don't think so" and he started to kiss me and I yelled then he closed my mouth with his hand and whispered to my ear "Say a word and you're dead." And I decided that he was a psychopath, pervert teacher but it can't be him, that was three years ago."

I was looking at the floor while I was telling this, I didn't have the courage to look at Channing so I kept playing with my hands, I was nervous. Nobody knew about it for now and a part of me I was actually relaxed. It was like a weight on my shoulder for years.

I could feel him breathing heavily and he was angry.

"I can't believe you, how can you not tell me this before? Did he d-did he" He was shaking and I understand what he tried to say.

"No Channing, he didn't rape me."

He was relaxed a bit, but he was still shaking.

"What did he do to you then?"

"He kissed."

"Why didn't you tell this to anyone what the hell were you thinking??????"

"He threatened me Channing! What was I supposed to do?"

"I hate this. How can you let this happen? Why wasn't I there to save you? I'm a horrible friend." He was about to cry

"It's not about you okay, it was three years ago and he couldn't go farther than kissing."

"Wait. How many times has he harassed you?"

"A few times."

"How many??" he said with a loud voice. I sighed and said

"Until I graduated."

He threw a punch to his desk, and started to go upside down in the room.

"I'm calling Mr. Colonel." He said while dialing some numbers.

"Wait, why?"

"We need to tell him, this is important."

He already called Mr. Colonel's office and started to tell him everything and after 10 minutes he hung up.

"Are you okay?" I said to him, I was getting worried.

"What else have you been hiding from me?" He said then threw me a disappointed look.

"Don't be mad at me please." I said with a crack voice.

"I'm not mad, I'm worried." He sat next to me and tilted my face up so I would look at his face.

"I'm hungry" I said, yes I juts ruined the whole moment, but I was starving. He laughed like a retarded seal.

"And that's why you don't have a boyfriend." He glanced at me.

"Yeah, that's why." Said Jonah sarcastically while closing the door behind him.

Channing and I were shocked, we just stood there and stared at him.

"What the hell is wrong with you guys, both of you look like you've just seen Justin Timberlake naked." I couldn't stop laughing, I run to him and hugged him tightly.

"Okay that was not awkward at all." Jonah said while I was hugging him.

"My turn." Channing said and pushed me away, Channing didn't hug him he just stared at his face and it was hilarious.

"Where have you been man?" Channing asked.

"I was at my Aunt's house and then I spend the night because she insisted then my phone died and I am so tired right now, so excuse me you weirdos I'm going to take a fine ass shower." Jonah said then walked upstairs.

We both took a deep breath thank god Jonah was fine. But this doesn't changes the fact that he might get in trouble because of me. I taught that maybe I should leave for a while, just to be sure that Channing and Jonah will be okay and I don't want to get them in trouble so I decided to pack all of my stuff and go to New Jersey for spring break. It's the best for now, it is already spring break and I don't want to cause any trouble so if I leave for a few weeks maybe these things would settle down and everything will be fine again.

At midnight I got up and started to pack up my stuff quietly after fifteen minutes I was ready to go. I texted Chris if he could drop me to the airport, I couldn't think about anybody else and we were friends and he said it was okay. I went outside and started to wait for Chris. After a couple of minutes I see a black Megan car, it's him I guess.

"I'm not a gangster." He said from the car.

"Good to know." I said then he glanced at me.

"You may catch cold if you dress like that." He said.

"Okay." Me being sassy as usual.

"Where did this trip came from? You didn't mentioned it before."

"I don't know it just came up."

"In the middle of the night?"

"Exactly." I said then we both laugh.

Finally I was at the airport, I hugged and thanked Chris for driving me and he said it was okay then after a twenty minutes I finally managed to get into the plane. The whole flight was nice, I read some of my books, ate Oreos with a bottle of milk -yes I do drink milk- listened to Justin Timberlake and I was there. We have landed and I texted Jane to pick us up. Jane is my favorite cousin btw.

I started to wait outside, it was kind of windy around here, Jane said that she won't be able to come here in 15 minutes so I decided to take the taxi.

"We're here." I said to the taxi driver.

I payed then get out of the taxi, it was midnight so as you can say it was so fucking dark outside. I was near to a few old buildings, Jane said it would be easier for her to come to here. It was 15 minutes and I was still waiting for Jane. Suddenly I heard footsteps and turned around hoping to see Jane.

I gasped.

Mr. Lucas was there.

Right in front of me.

With a devilish smile on his face.
