Autophobia

Jordyn's POV

"A-A-Ash." I whisper as we chill before the team is allowed out for the day.

"Yeah Jordyn?" Ash whispers.

"Can I talk to you or Ali in private?"

"Of course." Ash says then she leads me out of the meeting room and up to some room.

Once in the room I see Ali so I wave at her then look down at my feet.

"What's wrong?" Ali asks then I'm led to a bed so I sit down.

"Is everything okay Jordyn?" Ash questions.

"I know something about someone on the team that could ruin the team dynamic." I admit as I continue to look at my feet.

"Do you wanna tell us who?" Ali asks.

"She's Blonde."

"Okay...What does this blonde know?"

"She knew my ex and she saw me getting abused." I say then look up at the engaged couple. "I'm 75 percent sure it's her because I saw her."

"Could you pick her out?" Ali asks while Ash looks at me shocked.

"Only if I do the face thing." I admit. "I remember her face because I knew I'd seen her before so I started drawing her face when I was alone so I could remember if I ever got out of the apartment."

"Come on." Ash says and grabs my hand. "We're gonna figure out who it was."

Ash leads me and Ali out of the room and back down to the meeting room. Once in the meeting room Ash stands behind me then she covers my ears.

"LISTEN UP." I hear Ash yell even though she's covered my ears.

I then watch everyone turn their head and look at the keeper as she uncovers my ears.

"Sonnett, Moe, Jules, Alyssa, Lindsey, Becky, Sam, Abby, Allie, and Pinoe line up." Ash says and points to the spot in front of me.

The real blondes, the fake blondes, the semi-blondes, and the former blondes nod then scramble over and stand in front of me.

"What's going on?" Tobin questions as she and Kelley approach me.

"Alright you 10." Ash says and looks at the people lined up in front of me. "Jordyn is going to do the face thing and all of you are going to stand there and let her do it understand."

The group of ten women quickly nod then look at me.

"Go ahead Jordyn." Ali softly says.

I nod then close my eyes and feel the first persons face, but instantly know it's not the woman I saw so I shake my head.

"Next." Ash says then I do the process all over again.

I repeat the process 7 more times until I reach someone who I think is close to the face I remember so I slowly trace my fingers over the face.

When I realize it's the girl I slowly remove my hands from the girls face then I turn around and face Ash.

"Is that her?" Ash asks and I nod.

"Yeah." I whisper then Ash and I look at the woman.

"You're dead." Ash seethe's.

"You have some explaining to do Allie." Ali says.

"What'd I do?" Allie says.

"What's going on?" Tobin asks as Kelley wraps an arm around me.

"Allie knew Jordyn's ex and was at their apartment and saw Jordyn being abused." Ash says.

"That was you?" Allie questions and looks at me. "I always wondered what happened to that girl."

"YOU SAW HER GETTING ABUSED AND YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING?" Tobin yells.

"No I went to the police." Allie says and backs away. "I swear."

Before Tobin can get even more mad I cover her mouth then take out my phone and call my attorney.

"Hello how may I help you?"

"Hi this is Jordyn Heath calling for Ms. Andrea Bryant." I say.

"Hold please..............................Hey Jordyn."

"Hi Andrea."

"What's up?" My attorney asks.

"Do you still have the files from my case?" I question.

"I do." Andrea says. "Why?"

"Is there a police report in there made to police by a miss Allie Long?" I question.

"Um lemme look." Andrea says then I hear some papers shuffling. "Ah here it is."

"What's it say?" I question.

"Statement from Allie Long......Ms. Long reports that she went with a group of friends to an Apartment and saw one of the apartments occupant strike a woman four times on the head, left arm, and stomach. Ms. Long and her friend questioned the assailant about why she hit the woman only to have her berate Ms. Long then the assailant kicked everyone out of the apartment......Jordyn I have 6 more identical reports like this."

"Did the police ever do a welfare check?" Tobin asks.

"They did." I say. "My ex had a camera on the front door so when she saw the cops I had to hide and not make a sound." 

"So the police messed up." Kelley angrily mumbles.

"They didn't do they're due diligence." Andrea says. "Jordyn I'm gonna look into this more and see what I can do about this."

"Okay thank you for your help." I say then Andrea and I say bye before we hang up.

"Sorry Allie." Tobin says.

"It's okay." Allie says with a smile then she looks at me. "I'm sorry I didn't do more."

"I'm sorry I brought all this up." I say. "It's just been eating at me for a while."

"It's okay."

"My bad Pookie." Ash says and hugs Allie.

"Are you two and Alex still doing your photoshoot?" I ask my favorite red-head.

"We are."

"Do you need a photographer?" I question.

"I think we do." Kelley says then she looks at Alex. "Lex didn't our photographer have a scheduling issue?"

"Yeah...Why?" Alex says.

"Would you want me to be your photographer?" I ask.

"That'd be great." Alex says with a smile.

"Come on Jordyn." Kelley says and grabs my hand. "Let's go get our stuff."

Kelley leads me out of the meeting room and up to our room. Once in our room Kelley brings me into her arms and tightly hugs me.

"Are you okay?" Kelley asks.

"I'm okay." I mumble into Kelley's neck.

"Do you still want to go on our date tonight?" Kelley questions as she plays with my hair.

"Yes please." I say.

"Great." Kelley says then she kisses my head. "Let's grab our stuff then we can go take some pictures."

"Wait." I say then look at Kelley.

"What?" Kelley questions.

I smile at the right back then grab the back of her neck and pull her into a kiss. Kelley's hands start to go my waist, but I pull away from her lips and end the kiss.

"We can make out later." I say then kiss Kelley's nose. "But we have a photoshoot to do."
