"How's Jessie?" Dave asked Rachel. She sighed and bit her lower lip. Dave swallowed and looked away from her.
883Please respect copyright.PENANAfx5pl0sY2C
"She's alright..." Rachel said, her voice trailing off. Then she frowned "she sounds a bit down though"
883Please respect copyright.PENANADUiBjo74SY
"Of course she feels down. Imagine you're in her place" Dave muttered.
883Please respect copyright.PENANAdcH5784SND
"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.
883Please respect copyright.PENANAsmzk6oYLsR
We finally heard footsteps, it seemed like she was wearing heels. That meant Jessie was finally finished getting ready.
883Please respect copyright.PENANAe7PimVr8aV
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.
883Please respect copyright.PENANAbKi9U6Qdu5
What... is happening?
883Please respect copyright.PENANAPftOe6hV6i
"Jessie?" Rachel said, her cheeks red, as if she's embarrassed of her best friend's current appearance.
883Please respect copyright.PENANAq5mjQW13y6
Because honestly, she looked... weird.
883Please respect copyright.PENANAyeIYD5PkHq
"Aren't you coming?" Rachel asked. Her brows furrowing. And her cheeks reddening even more.
883Please respect copyright.PENANAFy4Z4JuO7J
"I'm coming of course." Jessie replied, smiling.
883Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZUDhHisqi
"But... you're wearing pajamas" her best friend said, pointing at Jessie in confusion.
883Please respect copyright.PENANAlKmI1zkH0e
Jessie frowned. Her eyes were showing that she was hurt from what Rachel just told her.
883Please respect copyright.PENANANg3ou8Ek4y
"I'm not wearing pajamas.." Jessie mumbled. Without staring at her clothes.
883Please respect copyright.PENANATBD2brTzur
"Jessie... you're wearing pajamas. Go change quickly please" Rachel said in a bored voice, "we're already late"
883Please respect copyright.PENANAc1CntEDYXT
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.
883Please respect copyright.PENANAclBGd5gbZU
"Yeah..." She mumbled, "sorry I thought I have changed, I will go and put something on"
883Please respect copyright.PENANAs7p5RsBREB
"Be quick please" Rachel said. Sounding sorry for her friend.
883Please respect copyright.PENANArZQk0kIMAq
"Alright" Jessie said and ran to her room.
883Please respect copyright.PENANAhpPjoCi9kr
"Poor girl" Dave mumbled, "I think she's very affected by yesterday's incident, she wasn't even aware she was in her pajamas"
883Please respect copyright.PENANAnR9W1MmU4g
"I know right" I said, and sighed. Feeling sorry for what Jessie has gone through.
883Please respect copyright.PENANA641kdWPXkQ
"Don't call her poor Dave!" Rachel exclaimed, " and don't you ever pity her guys, Jessie hates it when people pity her"
883Please respect copyright.PENANAvRGHd9ejp0
"Yeah... Yeah..." I mumbled after a snort, "she doesn't like being pitied, but she is desperate for love"
883Please respect copyright.PENANAAGl4CXV2kO
"Nathan!" Rachel hissed.
883Please respect copyright.PENANAquyhdxNpso
"Sorry... But that's the truth" I said holding my hands up in defense.
883Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8mnU4aXKG
"I don't wanna argue with you, I'll go help Jessie" She said and left Dave and me in the guest room.
883Please respect copyright.PENANABCcymBmCwK
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.
883Please respect copyright.PENANAVEtitJU2wW
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.
883Please respect copyright.PENANA4IN4WFXw93
My father on the other hand, seemed super happy, maybe because he thought he can show his collection of history books to them.
883Please respect copyright.PENANAm3ZHj2DhrZ
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.
883Please respect copyright.PENANA1IOOjNwnyH
"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.
883Please respect copyright.PENANAch3MtId1qb
"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.
883Please respect copyright.PENANAG7K7NWVDvV
"She's fine, thank you." Dave answered, with a polite smile on his face.
883Please respect copyright.PENANAm7TRPJL8s6
"Wonderful!" My mother exclaimed. "How's university guys?"
883Please respect copyright.PENANAAAcbUcT1jC
"It's great!" Dave said quickly. His voice sounding weird to my ears.
883Please respect copyright.PENANAGiK1Y9QcUc
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.
883Please respect copyright.PENANAyqtX6vKhBB
"Rachel, sweetheart. Do you still force your brother to do your reports?" My mother asked.
883Please respect copyright.PENANA6sexJhZ91s
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.
883Please respect copyright.PENANANg5yvMKiuH
"Rachel?" Mom called her name again. Jessie who was sitting beside my sister elbowed her hard.
883Please respect copyright.PENANAAKuptx4C52
"Ouch!" Rachel moaned from pain and glared at Jessie, who smiled sheepishly and shrugged her shoulders.
883Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZiywVw5Y2
Speaking of Jessie, she's unusually quiet today.
883Please respect copyright.PENANABGYMuqN1cO
"I was talking to you, darling" Mom said and stared at Rachel suspiciously. "Are you alright? You don't look very good"
883Please respect copyright.PENANAYthOvpWrsg
"Yeah, I'm alright." Rachel mumbled, and smiled at mom.
883Please respect copyright.PENANAEUi6wxdQOH
"I was saying, why do you don't do your reports yourself"
883Please respect copyright.PENANAwl9sOyKrfx
"I will do myself from now on, don't worry"
883Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZuJPMcY7U
"You will?"
883Please respect copyright.PENANAh8TSt3GmMw
"Yeah..."
883Please respect copyright.PENANAulHsPH01hn
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.
