Tess POV
I woke up Saturday morning, still utterly upset about what happened yesterday. I don't know where Josh would have got that picture. I'm still so confused from this whole situation. I was rolling around in my covers when I saw Jacob at my door.
"Morning Tess."
"Good morning." I said rubbing my eyes. I didn't want Jacob to see I was crying.
"You alright?"
"Yeah. Where's Josh?"
"Not sure, just woke up myself. Probably best if you don't talk to him just yet. Come down for breakfast soon.
"Okay." I said whilst getting out of my warm bed. Jacob left and I did my hair and got ready. I walked downstairs to see Josh sitting at the kitchen table eating cereal. I gulped, he was the last person I wanted to see right now. He looked at me and started to open his mouth to talk but I interrupted.
"How could you do this to me Josh!"
"Tess! I didn't I promise it wasn't me! I would never do something like that."
"You did! It came from your number and you're always going on about my body. Just admit it Josh! I can't believe you did this to me!"
"Tess I didn't! Somebody hacked me! I'll figure this out Tess!"
"I don't wanna listen to this Josh. I'm so upset right now and you're just confusing me even more. Just don't talk to me for a while. I need to get my head straight. Just.. Leave me alone!" I said this through a few tears that were escaping my eyes. I didn't want Josh to see me like this. I didn't want him to see me weak. I can't believe he did this to me and he can't know I'm crying because of him.
I ran up to my bedroom and shut the door. I just kept on crying and crying.
Joshua POV
I've never felt like this. I feel sick, sick to the stomach. I can hear Tess crying from upstairs I don't know what to do. This wasn't me! It wasn't. I'm going to figure out who did this, wether it takes one month or one year. I don't care. I need Tess to know the truth.
I walked upstairs, past Tess room and into mine. I sat onto my double bed and turned on my phone. At that moment I realised, I can't do this alone. I need help but it has to be somebody I trust. Then I remebered, Carson! Carson has been Jacobs friend since they were little and I used to see Carson quite a bit. I always thought he was a cool lad. We used to play basketball together after school sometimes. He was always a nice kid and I know he would never do anything to betray Jacob or his family. This was it. I'm ringing Carson.
After a few rings he picked up.
"Hey Josh what's up dude?"
"Hey Carson. If u haven't seen already, there was this picture of Tess naked sent from my phone to the school.."
"Yeah I saw bro. That was really stupid of you to do."
"Well doofus that's because I didn't."
"Huh?"
"Some loser hacked me."
"Oh shit dude. Does Tess know?"
"No. The idiot thinks it's me."
"Sucks for you."
"Yeah it does dude. Any chance you could come over and help me figure out who did it?"
"For sure. I'll be there in 10 minutes."
"Thanks bro."
"All good."
With that I hung up the phone. I waited for a while until I heard the door bell ring. "I'll get it!" I yelled. I walked down the stairs and opened the door.
"Hey man." He said
"Hey Carson, haven't seen you in a while."
"Yeah good to see you. So where should we do this?"
"Upstairs. Come on."
I walked upstairs with Carson following close behind me. I reached my bedroom and went in and then shut the door. Carson grabbed my Mac laptop and sat on my bed. I gave him a confused look.
"What are you doing?"
"Figuring out who hacked u."
I nodded my head and sat down next to him. He started doing some things on my laptop and all of a sudden he said.
"Well the message was sent for your phone at 12:55 last week."
"Well duh."
"That means whoever sent that message had your phone that day. Who were you with?"
"Uh. Well a lot of people doofus. I had classes."
"No but like who did u spend time with at recess and lunch that day?"
"Uh. Well I talked to Jacob for a bit. Blake, Brandon. Uhh I can't really remember that clearly."
"Jacob would never do something like that to Tess. Blake or Brandon defiantly could of but we don't have any proof so maybe not. Are you sure you weren't with anybody else that day?"
"Not that i remember."
"Ugh."
I was watching Carson fiddling with my laptop and all of a sudden a huge grin crossed his face.
"What have you found?" I asked
"Nothing. But I've hacked into the school severity cameras!"
"That's no help idiot."
"Yes it is! It might have footage of whoever took your phone."
"Genius!" I said. We were looking at footage of the lockers. And all of a sudden I walked over and put my phone in my locker. I walked off and then somebody in a hoodie came and opened my locker and took my phone. We couldn't see who until they put their hoodie down. It was Carly! (Carly was the girl Tess walked in on when her and Jacob were making out).
"Carly! What the hell!" Carson said.
"Wait idiot. There's more footage." I said as I could see Carly walking over to the bench and putting it down. A few minutes later somebody came and took phone. I couldn't believe who I saw!
