ARRIVING AT THE DINER HANNAH WAS IN was the closest to exploding Jackie has ever been. Out of all the controversial topics, sexual assault is something that she despises more than anything. The fact that she was accused of being an accomplice in such a heinous action made her sick. Therefore, it was about time that she beat the shit out of the bitch who really did it.

"Thank you for the ride." Jackie just said before she opens the car door rather angry.

Alice thought that it was because of what happened earlier but Jackie had set that aside for now and focused on the much more infuriating matter.

The pixie-haired girl decided to not leave Jackie all by herself and follow her. Plus, she kinda needs to earn her forgiveness because she couldn't stand the thought of her future mate being mad at her.

"Jackie." Alice said when she climbs out of the car.

Jackie turns around to see Alice out of the car, making her furrow her eyebrows in confusion.

"What are you doing?" Jackie asked.

"I'm coming with you." Alice simply answered.

A sarcastic smile stretches across Jackie's lips as she shakes her head.

"With all due respect, which you have failed to give me, I have some business to attend to and I don't need you to be part of it." Jackie said before turning around and walking towards the entrance of the diner.

"What business?" Alice asked, being her stubborn self.

"The unfinished one." Jackie plainly answered before she pushed the doors open to the diner.

The bell from the top of the doors rang loudly but none of the customers inside gave any attention to the brunette. They continued to attend to their meals as they chatted with their companions.

The bell rang again when the door opened and Jackie glances to her side to see Alice looking around the place.

"Are you deaf? I told you to leave me alone." Jackie said, looking st the pixie-like girl with pushed eyebrows.

"Well, that's the first thing you need to know about me." Alice said before sparing the brunette a glance. "I'm stubborn."

Alice looked up at the brunette beside her as Jackie towers over her. Jackie simply rolls her eyes and just decided to ignore the girl as she attempts to accomplish her task.

Jackie's dark brown eyes roamed around the diner to spot a group of obnoxious little twits. After just a few seconds of scanning the area, she heard the loud chuckling of the cheerleaders that made the brunette cringe. Seriously, why do they laugh like ten-year-olds?

Without a second thought, Jackie focuses her stern gaze towards a specific blonde cheerleader which she recognizes even if her back was facing the brunette.

Alice wanted to follow Jackie but she didn't want to be too clingy. So she stayed behind, letting her self standing by the door. Luckily for her, she has enhanced hearing which would allow her to listen in on their conversation as if she's right there with them. One of the perks of being a vampire.

Jackie marched towards the group of annoyingly loud cheerleaders and stops just behind them with her arms crossed against her chest.

"I'm pretty sure a criminal like you shouldn't be walking around freely." Jackie stated, earning the attention of the group.

Hannah's silky blonde hair whipped around as she turns to see who it was that dared to interrupt their conversation.

"Oh, hey. Look at what the lesbian cat dragged in." Hannah said, a sarcastic smile spreading on her pink-tinted lips. "How's the new school, Jackie? Lots of attractive girls, I bet."

Of course, Hannah was homophobic. She was actually the reason why she was kicked out of the cheerleading squad. The second Hannah found out that Jackie's lesbian, she tossed her out of the team saying that she shouldn't be there because she's making everyone in the team uncomfortable.

"You're right, actually. Unlike in my previous school where it was filled with skanks and snakes disguised in cheerleading uniforms." Jackie retorted, showing a sarcastic smile of her own.

"Well, I'd love to ask you to join us, but you might get the wrong idea." Hannah said as she was backed up by her brainwashed minions by chuckling.

"Even if you did, I won't join you. I don't fancy being caught having a meal with someone who is an accomplice for sexual assault." Jackie said.

It was almost unnoticeable when Hannah's facial expression shifted from being confident to being caught off guard. She immediately recovered from the shock before anyone could notice. But not everyone was fooled by her.

"Oh no, poor Jackie. Being a lesbian is already bad enough and now you're going insane." Hannah said, avoiding the truth.

But Jackie was too smart and persistent to let this go.

"Oh, Hannah. We both know what I'm talking about." Jackie said.

"I don't, actually." Hannah casually replied.

"Careful there, Pinnochio. Wouldn't want your nose to get too long." Jackie said.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"You know, I've put something together here. So, tell me if I'm correct, okay?" Jackie said before unfolding her arms.

"You became friends with Luna in sophomore year. You two were like, best friends. And then you joined the cheerleading squad in junior year, Luna cheered your name with her ever-so loud voice. Then, senior year came and you became the captain. With your mind and heart filled with a cliché high school love story fantasy, you wanted Jeremy to be your boyfriend since he was the captain of the baseball team." Jackie explained.

Hannah was visibly clenching her jaw while her head remained held high, even though her minions were now getting confused.

"But of course, Jeremy didn't want you. Unfortunately, Luna was more interesting and exciting than you ever were. So, he wanted her. And for some reason, Luna agreed to be his girlfriend. That made you angry. You were mad because your pathetic high school fantasy wasn't coming true. So, instead of leaving it to the hands of fate, you created your own destiny." Jackie added.

Alice was still standing by the door, listening in on every word that Jackie was saying. As the conversation gets serious, she was beginning to suspect that the blonde girl has something to do with what happened to Luna.

"You reeled Jeremy in. Made him your puppet. The two of you finally happened but Jeremy couldn't break up with Luna for you because Luna is known for her reputation of being the most savage person in school. She would destroy the both of you for betraying her. So, you decided to make Jeremy do something that wouldn't make Luna retaliate. Something that would mess her up. And when it happened, Luna came running to you. Then, you took her vulnerable state for granted and framed me for everything that you have done!" Jackie exclaimed.

Alice felt her hands clenched into fists. It was her. That blonde cheerleader was responsible for what happened to Luna.

Hannah tries to hide the uneasy expression that started to unravel on her face. She cleared her throat and crossed her arms as an attempt to look tough.

"None of what you said makes any sense." Hannah said.

Jackie smirks at the sight of Hannah looking anxious. She was starting to get under her cold and despicable skin. She only needs a little more push.

"Oh, come on. You know the truth. You hated being in Luna's shadow. You did everything you could to be the perfect girl but, no matter how perfect you think you are, you're no match for Luna. Because unlike you, she has an amazing personality, she has a great sense of fashion, she has incredible hair, and she is full of talent. Which is why Jeremy picked Luna and you...you're just the second option." Jackie said.

The words that came out of Jackie's mouth were finally enough to send Hannah over the edge. She rose from her seat and took threatening steps towards Jackie until both of them are only a foot apart.

"You think you're a hero, sticking up to Luna like that?" Hannah said. "You're not. Luna deserved it. She was an awful person, who has no regard for everyone else's feelings including mine. What happened to her was bound to happen. All I did was throw a match into the trail of gasoline." She added.

Jackie balled her hands into fists as she glared at the blonde girl.

"Yes, Luna was hard to deal with and it's only a matter of time before her barbaric actions become her downfall, but asking someone to rape her? You're as horrible as a rapist." Jackie stated, lowering voice just enough to keep what she said a private. She didn't want anyone knowing what happened to Luna.

"Maybe I did go a little far asking Jeremy to rape her. But it did the job, didn't it? Luna's out of the picture." Hannah said, a mischievous grin appearing in her lips.

That was the last straw for Jackie.

"You know, for three and a half years of being a cheerleader, I was obsessed with the 'Bring It On' movies. And one of the quotes became my motto. Whenever someone infuriates me, I just remind myself of what a legend once said." Jackie said, pausing before she continued.

"Be aggressive. B-E..." Jackie said before she raised her fist as it makes its way to Hannah's pointed nose. "Aggressive!" Jackie finished when her knuckles made contact with Hannah's nose and she swore she heard it break.

The blonde girl crumpled to the floor as a scream left her lips. Alice widens her eyes attempts to go over there and help Jackie but a vision took over her sight. A vision of Luna being in pain.

"What the fuck?!" Hannah exclaimed as she sat on the floor, covering her bloody nose.

Jackie crouched down in front of her as a victorious smirk tugged on her lips. Hannah glared at the brunette smirking in front of her before she spoke.

"I'm gonna sue you for this!" The girl exclaimed.

Her little minions could only watch in shock as the two fought.

The vision Alice saw just finished and she found out that Luna will have a miscarriage. Shock covered her entire expression. None of them even knew that she became pregnant because of her getting raped. She's sure not even Luna knew.

Alice has to warn them. She knew Luna wouldn't want the miscarriage. She has to help them.

The pixie-haired vampire glances at Jackie to see that she could handle herself. Alice sighs before turning around and leaving the diner to drive herself home to warn the others of what's to come.

Jackie takes out her phone from the pocket of her jacket and waves it in front of Hannah.

"If there's someone getting sued, it's you. I recorded every word you said. You're bloody screwed, Hannah." Jackie said.

Hannah widens her eyes at the phone Jackie was holding before the brunette stands up and looks down at the blonde, tilting her head a bit.

"Don't worry, you and Jeremy would still be together. Behind bars." Jackie said before turning around and walking away.

Fear and anger were evident in Hannah's face and she could only scream in frustration thinking about the end of her twisted fantasy.

Meanwhile, Alice was driving rather fast as she dialed each of her brothers' and sister's numbers only to be sent straight to voicemail. The family was too frantic about Luna's disappearance that forgetting to bring their phones were the least of their concerns. Alice could only curse under her breath as she drives faster to arrive at the house in time.

However, as soon as she pulled over in front of the house, she heard the ear-piercing screams of Luna and realized she was too late.
