"This better be good." Delilah Johnsson walked into the livingroom and sat on one of the chairs that stood next to the dining table. The other two girls just looked up from their phones, one eyebrow raised but didn't say anything.

3 minutes later, 15 year old Isabella Murphy, the last one of the group came into the Joyner home. "Hello everybody! Party people!" She said smiling as she sat next to Elena. "So Anna, what's up?" She smiled.

" So ", the oldest girl started. She and Elena gave eachother a look while the other two knitted their eyebrows in confusion. "i br-" " SHE BROKE UP WITH BRUCE!" Elena interrupted her before she could even start her story. "ELENA!" The youngest Joyner smirked at her friend while Delilah and Isabella stared in shock. "What? You took too long." The shock didn't last long though. 

"You did wha- " "FINALLY!" They exclaimed at the same time. " How did that happen all of a sudden?" "Oh bella... you know it wasn't all of a sudden. Their 'love' was long overdue." Delilah patted Isabella on the shoulder." Before Maria could defend herself, Isabella spoke up. " So Mari what happened out there? Give us the deeds. Spill the tea! - "  The called girl sighed. " Fine .. fine. I owe you that much." She chuckled before she began to tell her story, gaining the attention from her three friends.

Marianna knocked on the door nervously, waiting for somebody to open the door. She really wanted this to be done and prayed to god his parents and even his sister wouldn't be home. The door opened and a smiling Bruce was standing in front of her. "Hello Marianna, come in." He always used her full name, she never understood why though. He leaned in to kiss her but she dodged him by stepping away from him.

"Listen Bruce.. ehm.. I am not gonna stay for long." She began. This was really happening, she was actually doing it. He seemed to not get the hint. This is going to be a lot harder then i thought.... she sighed. Come on Marianna. Straight to the point! Rip off that band-aid.
"I am breaking up with you." She stated. The guy in front of her still seemed utterly confused. "Wh-what?" "I am breaking up with you. I do not want to do this anymore. It's not fair to either of us." While proceeding her speech, she saw his face fall. "Marianna I- What do you mean." . Trying to control her temper at this point, she sighed." Look, Bruce. We both noticed that it hasn't been the same as the beginning of the relationship."  Bruce nodded, " I just... need to clear my head a little. Sorry but, I just can't use this right now. " She wasn't lying. At least not completely. Tears were falling from his eyes at this point, which made her curse inside her head.

Ugh goddamnit!!

"He begged me to stay for several minutes after that." The girls were listening to every word as she spoke. "What happened after that?" Elena asked carefully. "I walked out of the house." Marianna stated simply. "I got out of that place, got in my car and came directly to you." She turned to Elena.

The room fell silent for a second. It wasn't a complete shock that Marianna and Bruce would eventually split. The love or even the like between them was never mutual. It was eating Marianna alive at some point and the girls knew and even helped her convince that it probably was the right thing to do. But they didn't think it would be right now.

Marianna silently looked up at Delilah, Elena and Isabella. Elena was about to speak up and tell her bestfriend she did the right thing, when the door opened.

"Ladies, Elena." A blond boy came through the door and threw himself on the couch in the livingroom.

"Owen." The four girls greeted.

"Hey you idiot, no offense but we're kinda in the middle of something here." Elena looked up at her brother irritated. "Oh really? I didn't notice at all." Marianna rolled her eyes. "What's up? Why all so .... tense?" He asked as he walked to the kitchen to probably grab some food. "Marianna broke up with Bruce." Isabella said, looking up at her friend as if to ask permission. She just nodded in return. Owen could know. The only ones he could probably tell the news to were Charlie, Jeremy and maybe Carolynn.

"Oofff. Well, took ya long enough. Nice!" He high fived Marianna and settled himself on the couch again.

The girls looked at eachother wide eyed. 
What did just happen?
