Question - Why do you think Janet was tensed?

Janet's P. O. V

I think I'm going to faint.

This guy is the same guy who was taking to Mia in the morning.

That means he saw me with the dance group.

That means he knows.

And he's none other than Trevor Hunt. He's the asshole who played Kiara.

And he's dating Selena, that means Selena probably knows about us both.

And Kiara is dating Steven!?!?

When the fuck did that happen?

Yup, fainting sounds like a good idea.

After I give my confirmation, which I am forced to give, Mrs McCartney leaves. Selena gives all of us standing in the room a wicked smile before leaving and Trevor, who is continuously smirking at me, follows her.

He has barely looked up at Kiara and whenever he did, you could see the guilt. She announced this horrendous news and I have a feeling it's something to do with Trevor.

I see Jason seething in the corner and the minute those three left, he marches out behind them.

Kiara is looking at Steven apologetically who doesn't seem one bit happy about what she did.

What's shocking is that he didn't deny it, then and there. He played along, or at least he didn't oppose anything.

My head seems to be spinning with all this data that got stuffed down my throat in just a matter of five minutes.

The more I think about how Trevor knows my secret, the more my heart numbs. The fear in me has peaked and I'm just holding up because Kiara is right here and if I do anything, she will have questions I don't have the answers too.

My senses have died and I may be standing normally on the outside, on the inside it's a different story.

The fear of what will happen has gotten to me and the consequences make me want to crawl in a hole and cry.

What will Kiara think if she comes to know that I lied to her?

What will my aunt think?

What if they expose me to the world?

What will I tell everyone?

I'm most scared about what my close friends and family will think. I've lied to them and manipulated them while doing all this and now I'm as good as a traitor.

I may be over reacting but I can't really get a grip on my fear and nerves right now. I feel like I'm falling.

The exhaustion of all these days is getting to me now and I feel like I'm going to burst into hysteria.

"Janet?" Steven's voice full of concern breaks me out of my reverie and I look up to see Kiara has left.

"Yeah, she left. She tried to talk to you but you didn't reply. She seemed confused, so I sent her away for now. Are you okay?"

Yeah, I spoke my thoughts out loud again. Just great.

The minute he says that my facade drops and my body loses control. My legs turn to jelly and I lose my balance. His arms immediately move forward and still me, holding me by my arms. My hands grope in the air for support and I find the table. I lean on it and Steven pulls his arms back.

I run a hand through my hair and let out a defeated sigh.

"What happened Janet? Why are you so worked up?" he asks me cautiously, like you ask a distressed lioness, not wanting to upset her.

I let my head fall back and shut my eyes, trying to calm my breathing.

I look back in the front and stand up straight, before pacing around.

"He knows Steven, he knows. He saw me today morning with the dance group. He's Selena's boyfriend, that means she knows too and she's a bitch. She hates my guts. Before today, I thought it was just a stupid teenage fight, but after what she's done right now, I'm sure she can stoop to any level just humiliate me. Now she knows this part of my life and she's going to exploit it. She will show it in a bad light and my family and friends will obviously not trust me after knowing that I have been lying to them for so long and..."

I rant and walk around fast paced, talking about what's going on inside my head rapidly when I'm cut off. Steven holds my arm and pulls me back to him. I almost bang into his chest, loosing my balance slightly.

Next thing he does shocks me even more. He raises his hands and cups my face in them. He looks me in the eye and my heart beat picks up, not because of anything else but because of the sudden proximity between us. I'm standing too close to him and his beautiful blue eyes are looking deep into my plain brown ones. It feels like he can read me like an open book and his eyes, damn, they're like an ocean of words, emotions so strong, they make me shiver involuntarily. His eyes are searching my face and his face has concern written all over it.

"Calm down Janet. It's going to be okay, we'll get through this, together," he says softly and I nod slowly in his hold.

And just like that, I feel better, normal, rational, stronger, saner. It's like my senses have come to normal and I can suddenly think straight again. I take a deep breath and look at his hands around my face awkwardly before looking at him.

His eyes widen in realisation and he pulls back immediately, looking at the floor.

Then I do something that shocks me. I hug him.

I move my hands around him and place my ears on his chest, when I could feel the thumping of his heart. It seemed to have slowed down slightly.

"Thank you," I whisper and break the embrace, before walking out the door quickly.

Why? Because I didn't want him to see the red of my cheeks.

**************************

"Janet, you've been in there for hours. Don't you want to eat something?" my aunt's voice call out to me and I sigh.

"No, I'm fine. I'll eat later."

I hear shuffling of steps from outside before its silent again.

I had immediately left school and walked home. I reached home and dashed into my room. I had a shower and since then, I'm lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling. After all these hours of thinking, one thing is clear-

Trevor is not here to expose my secret.

Why? Because if he had to do it, he would have already done it. What is he waiting for?

Now, I'm confused about what he wants and why he's here.

If Selena brought him here, then it's definitely to torment me. She's not going to reveal it too soon because she will want to take advantage of it as a leverage on me as much as she can.

If I behave tormented, maybe she won't reveal it at all because, for her, her plan's working.

The only risk is, what if she does reveal it anyway?

In that case I'll have to face the consequences.

Offcourse, the one way to be out of this mess with dignity would be to reveal it before they do, but that's just going to tone down the consequences, not erase them completely.

Besides, my secret is also a famous dance group's secret. If I reveal it, they will be affected too. Sure, they wanted me to reveal it, but I'm sure they'll want to do it in a specific way.

And am I ready to do the choreography when the world knows?

And then to top it all, there's this boy.

He confuses the shit out of me. Who is he? Where the hell has he come from? Why was he so nice to me today?

And why does he do what he does?

I sigh. My heads aching with all this.

The best thing is to take it as it comes.

Selena can do what she wants, I'm just going to be ready and deal with it when she does it.

As far as Steven is concerned, I'm going to find out what's up with him. Even though it's going to be over after a month, I want to know more about him.

I close my eyes and will sleep to come, giving my mind the necessary rest for the action that's coming at it.
