One day, Sharon skipped school and went to Jessica’s house. There, she found Jessica’s stepfather. She told him that Jessica was always talking about him; saying that she wanted him to take her virginity. She coached Jessica’s stepfather, encouraging him to sleep with his stepdaughter.

He told Sharon that he would think about it. A week later, Sharon told Jessica’s stepfather that Jessica said she would make her move on him today. So Jessica’s stepfather prepared himself. Sharon then sent a message to Jessica using their friend, Mary’s phone.

Get ready for your sugar daddy Jessica.

Jessica did not understand what the message meant. When she arrived home she found her stepfather naked in her room. Upon seeing her, he said, “Are you ready to enter into a new world with me?”

She was shocked when she saw him that she ran away from the house. As she was running she stopped in the middle of a road; she realised that she did not know where to go. She thought about going to Mary’s house, but because of the message sent from Mary’s phone she feared that Mary was the one who had arranged all of this. She decided to go to Sharon’s house instead.

When she arrived there she was surprised to find Mary there watching TV. After she entered the house, Sharon led Jessica to her bedroom to talk in private.

“What’s the problem Jessica? You look frustrated,” said Sharon.

“It really hurts when you think you have a friend and they end up disappointing you. I really trusted Mary. I never thought she could do this to me. I trusted her more than anyone, but she did this to me anyway. Even my father, I mean my stepfather, was in on it. I am so ashamed of what he did today; I will never forgive him.”

“What happened Jessica?” asked Sharon.

Jessica then told her everything. All the while, Sharon looked and sounded as if she didn’t already know any of this tale. As she was explaining what had happened, Jessica noticed Mary’s phone sitting on the table nearby, but she didn’t think it suspicious at the time. She was too angry. As the day turned into night, Sharon asked Jessica to leave because it was getting late.

When Jessica arrived home she found her mother working. She said nothing, and crept quietly to her room. When she was finally in her room again, alone, she let her emotions get the best of her and cried about the events of the day. She then wrote in her diary as per usual before crawling in bed.

The next day, a Saturday, Mary came to Jessica’s house to speak with her. When she arrived Jessica started to interrogate her.

“Why did you do what you have done? I trusted you and you did this to me.”

Mary immediately realised that something was wrong, and decided to grab her friend’s diary and quickly leave without Jessica noticed in order to get to the bottom of her friend’s accusations. When Mary arrived home, she started to read Jessica’s diary. As she was reading, she noticed Jay’s number scribbled on a page; she then called him and asked him to meet her.

Mary explained to Jay that she needed his help. Jay happily agreed, because it concerned his ex-girlfriend, Jessica, who he was still in love with. So Jay decided to go to Jessica’s house to speak with her. When he arrived, Jessica was surprised to see him. She welcomed him with open arms, asking what he wanted. He told her the truth, explaining about Mary and the diary and that he was there to help in any way he could.

He even tried to make her understand that Mary was not the one who had done this to her.
