FAKE

PART IV: EVELYN

V: secrets

I was determined to find out about Evelyn. Ashely may be manipulating her into not being my friend.

I told Andrew all of this once he got out of the shower and he just shook his head.

"Ashely.. and Jason aren't the bad guys here, Jane."

I don't understand what he means, they are the reason my life has been so fucked up lately. I look at him with a confused expression and he just looks at me. He tells me to turn my phone off.

"Look Jane. It's been Evelyn. Evelyn has been staging all of this. She hears everything. She threatened Jason, Ashley, and I. She can hack into any phone and hear anything. I've been trying to tell you but I just couldn't find the place where she wouldn't show up. She would hear the conversations with you and Ashely. She knew. She hacked your Snapchat account and put that video on there. She knew you liked me so she used Jason to destroy us but when she saw that wasn't going to work. She's used her back up. Our video. She threatened to tell the school that I raped her if I told a soul about what she was doing. She wants you all to yourself. She doesn't want you with Ashely, she doesn't want you with Jason, and she certainly doesn't want you with me. It's torture. She's the worst person ever. Jane, I'm telling you the truth."

I'm stunned at what he's telling me and I don't want to believe it. It can't be that my best friend is the snake. That's she's the fake. That for the past months I've been cutting off the wrong people. That she's the cause of my sadness. That she's been happy seeing me cry and needing her. What a psychotic bitch.

What Andrew was telling me fit so perfectly together but why would she do that? Why would Evelyn be so evil? It just didn't make sense.

I stare at Andrew blankly and start crying. All that fighting for it to just end up being the person closest to me? I had to speak to Ashely. I told Andrew that he could come with me but that I was going to talk to her.

Walking to her house, I knocked on the door. She opened it up wearing a pastel orange sweater and some joggers.

"Jane?" She said, looking over at Andrew.

"Is your phone off?" I whisper to her.

"No, it's upstairs," she says, confused.

I tell her to go turn it off and set my phone down on a small table next to the door. Andrew does the same with his and Ashely runs upstairs to bring her phone downstairs. She shuts it off in front of us.

"Jane, what's going on?"

I explain to her everything that Evelyn is trying to do to split us all up and Andrew helps me in filling in details I've missed. He's known so much but wasn't able to tell me. Now I understand why he was so broken down. Ashley starts pacing around the room.

"That bitch. That bitch," she repeats over and over.

I nod and sit down on her couch.

Ashely starts crying and asks me to forgive her about everything she has said about me, everything she's done to me and I forgive her.

"I originally thought it was you and Jason trying to torment me."

"I was so mad at you but I wouldn't want to mess with your life Jane. You meant everything to me and I was just really hurt that, I thought, you posted that on your story. I can't believe Evelyn has been listening to everything. How'd she do it?"

Andrew walks over to us and explains.

"She has this device tracker hack she plants in your phone when you can't see and it like records everything you say. She can hear all your conversations and I bet she gets off to hearing Jane and I."

I smile and look over at Ashley. I pace around her room too and turn on the tv to distract myself from thinking about anything but that's impossible. I have so many thoughts flying through my mind.

I never in a million years thought that Ashely would be my friend again and that ultimately she wasn't the snake. I would have never though that Evelyn was the worst snake of them all. If she's capable of fucking hacking into my and my friends phone is she capable of killing one of them now? That thought crept inside my head and I shake it off. I'm so scare right now and I don't know what to do. I feel Evelyn's presence everywhere now and I start to feel dizzy.

Ashley offers me and glass of water. She hands me a glass and I chug all the water down in seconds. I feel sick to my stomach that for probably the past several years of my life have been infested with lies from Evelyn and that she made me believe I had no friends and that she'd be the only one ever there for me. I'm terrified of Evelyn now but I won't let her stop me now. I'm going to get to the end of this even if it means bitch slapping Evelyn across the face a hundred times. She had no right to do this. She's not going to win, not this time, not again. I'm done with her now for good.

"We have to go to Jason and ask him," I finally say after a while of thinking alone.

"Yeah," Andrew says, "but I don't know if he wants to see any of us."

"He'll see me," Ashely says and grabs her keys.

"Let's go."

We walk out of her house and hop into her car. If we all team up together, Andrew, Jason, Ashely, and I, we can bring down Evelyn just like she brought down all of us. We are going to get justice.
