Chapter 4
Jenn's POV
I was still stunned that I had Will's number. I quickly opened up my contacts on my phone and added in Will.
I smiled.
There was a sudden rush of adrenaline that coursed through my veins. I checked to see what time it was and quickly realized that I had been in my room for almost an hour.
It was never a good idea to leave my friends alone for that long- there was no telling what they would get into. The thing that scared me most was that I hadn't heard anything from them in a while. I ran out to my kitchen to find a note on the counter. I read over it carefully.
Great! They went out without me. I thought.
I was slightly concerned now. I quickly grabbed my house keys and ran down the hall to the stairs of my apartment building. I was panicing but I had somehow managed to keep a calm composure. I ran out the front door of the apartment building and instantly became aware of my surroundings after a quick shock of cold, New York air. I ran down the sidewalk until I was out of breath and realized I had no idea where I was going.
Pulling out my phone, I opened up a phone tracking app and found where my friends went. It turned out I was running in the right direction after all.
I ended up running into them.
"What in the H-" I was cut off by Acacia
"Look, we're trying to find out what apartment Will is staying at. We would of had you come with us but we thought you were asleep."
I was starting to go from a mixture of worry and irritation to just downright anger.
"You woke me up the first time." I muttered, just loud enough for them to hear.
"Sorry, I just didn't want to wake you up again." I could tell she was lying. I could read people's expressions really well so I knew she was probably going somewhere else. I didn't want to know where though.
"Okay. I guess you're free to go." I turned around and started to walk away. I could hear the laughter of my friends getting more and more distant. I was really upset about 2 things- my friends lying and keeping secrets and that it was 4 in the morning so I couldn't call anybody, namely Will.
I felt like I was about to cry so I just started running. I ran in the direction of Central Park, my happy place. My footsteps softly hit the ground so I wouldn't attract too much attention to myself.

Will's POV
I was tired of sulking in my hotel room so I decided to take a walk- at four in the morning in New York City.
It can go on the list of bad ideas I've had. I just threw on a jacket and started walking. I turned down an allyway after carefully inspecting it. Suddenly, I could hear small yet quick footsteps coming right towards me. I couldn't tell from where so I just kept walking.
Next thing I know, I'm on the ground.
Adrenaline pumped through my veins. My breaths began to get heavier. I quickly pulled out my phone to see who or what I ran into. I heard some sniffling almost as if someone were crying. I stood up. I pulled out the flashlight on my phone and took a look at what I was dealing with.
I see a small girl on the ground and begin to fell really bad.
"Do you need help?" I asked.
A small whimper came from the girl's mouth. I bent down and stretched out my hand. She took it reluctantly. I quickly scanned for the nearest restaurant and found one right across the street.
"Let's get you cleaned up." I said with every bit of kindness I could force to my voice.
She muttered something that I couldn't quite understand and we quickly ran across the street. We snuck into the women's bathroom, unnoticed. I walked over to the mirror and almost screamed when I looked. The girl was Jenn.

Jenn's POV
I look up and see that it was Will who had helped me here. I quickly thorugh my hand over my mouth and a muffled scream escaped. Will looked at me quizzically.
"I really need to stop running you over." He said with a weak laugh. A very similar laugh escaped my lips.
For a quick moment I panicked becuase I thought I was still wearing my lounging clothes, which are totally not the most flattering. When I looked down I remembered that I was wearing skinny jeans, converse and a sweatshirt because of the goose-chase my friends sent me on.
"Yea you really do need to stop." I smiled awkwardly.
For a quick moment, we made eye contact. I was about to squeal. It was at that moment I heard some familiar voices from a distance. I quickly put my hand over Will's mouth and pulled him into a stall with me. He looked at me quizzically.
The bathroom door opened. Will's eyes widened. I stood on the toilet and peered over the stall door to see if who I thought was there was actually there.
Will looked over to me when I stepped down.
"Who is it?" He mouthed to me.
"Crazed fangirls who have spent the nigt looking for you." I whispered to him. My friends were loud enough that they shouldn't be able to hear.
"Yea. She did seem really irritated." I heard what sounded like Hayley say.
I stared at the floor, blankly.
"You okay?" Will asked.
I simply looked up at him.
"We're in a really bad situation now and I don't know what to do." I muttered.
He seemed confused so simply gestured towards my friends.
I pulled out my phone and texted my friends.
You guys need to get here right now! Something happened!
I smirked when I heard their text tones going off.
I could here some panicked words and then some shufflinf and then i heard the bathroom door slam shut. I stood on the toilet again and peered over the dorr to find no one there.
I gestured for Will to open the door. He did so and I jumped off the toilet and out the stall. As soon as I had landed, I sighed.
"Why did they leave?" Will looked at me quizzically.
"They think something happened back at our apartment." I answered with a slim smile.
"You live with them? Makes sense now." He smiled at me.
"What do you think they're going to do if they get home and a- find nothing wrong and b- find out you're not there?"
"I have no idea. They'll probably just think that I had fixed the situation and went to bed or something like that." I smiled. Not a normal, cheerful smile but a crooked and slightly evil one. It had scared even me. Luckily, I had gotten rid of it before Will had noticed that I looked like a crazed, murdering psychopath.
