"How's Jessie?" Dave asked Rachel. She sighed and bit her lower lip. Dave swallowed and looked away from her.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAtSOchImK1K
"She's alright..." Rachel said, her voice trailing off. Then she frowned "she sounds a bit down though"
767Please respect copyright.PENANAzjgTc8WZhb
"Of course she feels down. Imagine you're in her place" Dave muttered.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAjysY2oPWCu
"Yeah... I guess" Rachel replied, and checked her watch.

The dinner was today. And we were all invited to my parents house. Jessie was taking her time to get ready, we were waiting for her in the guest room patiently.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAXgSs08i2iv
We finally heard footsteps, it seemed like she was wearing heels. That meant Jessie was finally finished getting ready.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAZFokjT4W7M
I looked away from my sister, who was glaring at Dave, for god knows what. My eyes fell on Jessie. Who was still in her pajamas. Wearing heels with it.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAF1zfCWRNEu
What... is happening?
767Please respect copyright.PENANArYNYDhnCUz
"Jessie?" Rachel said, her cheeks red, as if she's embarrassed of her best friend's current appearance.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAMxTX6WHw2n
Because honestly, she looked... weird.
767Please respect copyright.PENANADU0r9FCzOX
"Aren't you coming?" Rachel asked. Her brows furrowing. And her cheeks reddening even more.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAls91VsfMn4
"I'm coming of course." Jessie replied, smiling.
767Please respect copyright.PENANACxKE0qiWT7
"But... you're wearing pajamas" her best friend said, pointing at Jessie in confusion.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAukPqUne4mm
Jessie frowned. Her eyes were showing that she was hurt from what Rachel just told her.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAMKRFozb4LN
"I'm not wearing pajamas.." Jessie mumbled. Without staring at her clothes.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAbQo9G5bPhH
"Jessie... you're wearing pajamas. Go change quickly please" Rachel said in a bored voice, "we're already late"
767Please respect copyright.PENANAjVTHkpEQs3
Jessie then stared at the clothes she was wearing, and frowned. She looked like she was confused, then her eyes suddenly widened and her she blushed crimson red.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAUpWBXFmnJg
"Yeah..." She mumbled, "sorry I thought I have changed, I will go and put something on"
767Please respect copyright.PENANAeTSw9WYztR
"Be quick please" Rachel said. Sounding sorry for her friend.
767Please respect copyright.PENANArF2sCTyB4Z
"Alright" Jessie said and ran to her room.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAu9wtiOGwQf
"Poor girl" Dave mumbled, "I think she's very affected by yesterday's incident, she wasn't even aware she was in her pajamas"
767Please respect copyright.PENANAtMMCgnPwkx
"I know right" I said, and sighed. Feeling sorry for what Jessie has gone through.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAfD67P13p3R
"Don't call her poor Dave!" Rachel exclaimed, " and don't you ever pity her guys, Jessie hates it when people pity her"
767Please respect copyright.PENANAcetDxoEM3d
"Yeah... Yeah..." I mumbled after a snort, "she doesn't like being pitied, but she is desperate for love"
767Please respect copyright.PENANASMVfVGSULi
"Nathan!" Rachel hissed.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAfZrtI4V0q7
"Sorry... But that's the truth" I said holding my hands up in defense.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAdcVJS0yl9n
"I don't wanna argue with you, I'll go help Jessie" She said and left Dave and me in the guest room.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAORDgytF9gW
Jessie was finally ready, and we were on our way to my parent's house. I wasn't honestly ready to use my new car, worried of it getting scratched or anything like that. So we were in Rachel's Nissan Altima.
767Please respect copyright.PENANASBI5qHFvvW
My mom engulfed each of us in a tight hug. The ones she does when she loves someone truly. And she definitely likes Dave and Jessie.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAIJYaE4TdqX
My father on the other hand, seemed super happy, maybe because he thought he can show his collection of history books to them.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAH2p6R6q1IW
No matter how much me and Rachel tell him that young people nowadays don't read history that much, but he won't listen to us, and he just keeps showing our friends his books.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAkfxgY0y5e7
"Welcome my dears" My mother chirped, and motioned for us to go to the dining room. Where she had already put many different and colorful dishes of food on it. I didn't even know some of their names, neither tasted some others for that matter.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAK1kxFTtkdc
"How's your mother, Dave?" Mom asked, her eyes full of affection and love for the Dave's mom. A woman she has met only once, but they had their own bond with each other, my mother felt sorry for the woman, and what she has gone through.
767Please respect copyright.PENANA5vhFTpq5VY
"She's fine, thank you." Dave answered, with a polite smile on his face.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAwJNgLDGmmQ
"Wonderful!" My mother exclaimed. "How's university guys?"
767Please respect copyright.PENANATIDtd5L6Q3
"It's great!" Dave said quickly. His voice sounding weird to my ears.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAfT7dKbpTZ0
I pressed my lips into a thin line and dig my fork into the plate of pasta in front of me. I wanted to wait until they finished talking about the subject. Thankfully my mom didn't mention university or anything else related to it.
767Please respect copyright.PENANACwEjS1GtKS
"Rachel, sweetheart. Do you still force your brother to do your reports?" My mother asked.
767Please respect copyright.PENANA7xVrECa3he
Rachel didn't answer. I look up and stared at my sister, she was playing with the spoon in her hand. The mushroom soup in front of her was left untouched. She seemed like she was in deep thought.
767Please respect copyright.PENANASYCGfhw26V
"Rachel?" Mom called her name again. Jessie who was sitting beside my sister elbowed her hard.
767Please respect copyright.PENANA1D2G8ESfey
"Ouch!" Rachel moaned from pain and glared at Jessie, who smiled sheepishly and shrugged her shoulders.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAeKR1nZapeQ
Speaking of Jessie, she's unusually quiet today.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAATVCMkDEJf
"I was talking to you, darling" Mom said and stared at Rachel suspiciously. "Are you alright? You don't look very good"
767Please respect copyright.PENANAZZzrXcRVTZ
"Yeah, I'm alright." Rachel mumbled, and smiled at mom.
767Please respect copyright.PENANAgVqUxD39EO
"I was saying, why do you don't do your reports yourself"
767Please respect copyright.PENANAnOGPLWisGU
"I will do myself from now on, don't worry"
767Please respect copyright.PENANAcXxxJaivmC
"You will?"
767Please respect copyright.PENANA0QWWjlMVGY
"Yeah..."
767Please respect copyright.PENANAWJTEM31B1M
Dinner was finished and it was time for the desert to come, but Rachel ate very little and she glanced at Jessie now and then. There was definitely something wrong with her. I guess I have to ask her when we get back home.
