Last night I ended up taking a shower. I brought a big t-shirt and some shorts as my extra outfit, so I ended up wearing that to bed. I was surprised how soft the sheet was, it was like sleeping in some five-star luxurious hotel. Premium AC, clean and soft sheets, and the shower had a waterfall shower head! Needless to say, I slept like a baby.  

I woke up this morning staring at the ceiling trying to figure everything out. I wish that DramaNow update never aired. Last night my phone blew up with a ton of friend requests and mean comments from people I thought were my friends. They claimed I stole their lifelong crush and claimed I wasn't his type. Well, I did date him once upon a time, so take that mean comments!

I still have yet to talk to Jamie about the whole ordeal. I just know she will flip out once she finds out. I haven't spoken to Mason either. He's been busy lately anyway, so I don't want to bother him. It's been a wonder Jamie hasn't found out by now. I thought she lived off the DramaNow channel and social media posts. 

After wallowing in self-pity for about thirty minutes, I decide to start my day. I head to the bathroom I discovered last night, turns out it was they mysterious door to the left. Cracking my bones as my feet pad against the tile floors I look at my face in the mirror. Thankfully I didn't put any makeup yesterday, my face would've broken out without my face wipes. I tie my red hair into a braid and brush my teeth.

Heading towards my door, I'm so scared to step out. Not because I'm afraid of Grey or anything, but I'm not used to this house and I'm pretty sure I will get lost some day.

Turning the knob, I head down the stairs Madison lead me up last night. I try to retrace my steps from last night and close my eyes in remembrance. 

I hear some giggling and cock my head a little at the sound. Stepping down a few more steps I look towards the foyer and spot a couch. It's then that I see two bodies. It's a little hard to scout who they are so I rub the tiredness out of my eyes.

Sitting in the chair is a fluff of blonde hair and sitting on top of him is a mid-length dark haired woman.

"Lucas stop!" She giggles and falls on his chest. Her head falls foreword, and I can see Lucas's eyes crinkle in laughter until they meet mine. His face falls and his face morphs to a bit shocked. 

The woman turns her head and its then that I realize that its Jamie.

My eyebrows crinkle and I try to rationalize something, anything but I can't. At this point I am livid.

"V. I can explain." Jamies fills with worry, and she holds her hands out.

I'm not falling for it. The pity look shows it all. She is guilty and only sorry she was caught red handed.

"H-How. How are you here? How do you know where Lucas is? I thought you broke up!" I practically scream.

Has she been lying to me? For four. years. My best friend, lying to me? This can't be possible. I want to believe all of this is a coincidence, but their close proximity tells me a completely different story. 

"V." She hops off his lap and runs towards me.

Absent mindlessly my feet back pedal and I stare at her with wide eyes. Tears brim my eyes at the thought of her lying to me for years. "have you been lying to me?" My voice trembles.

"I- I wa-wanted to tell you. I'm so sorry please let me explain." She rushes her words out while trying to reach for me.

"No. No." I shake my head and cross my arms. I back away like an afraid puppy and my vision starts to blur with tears.

"What's going on?" Grey's voice booms through the foyer.

I turn around and run upstairs with tears streaming down my face. Running to a room I slam the door behind me. 

"You okay babes?"

Ugh! I don't even know this complicated house enough to remember the room I stayed in.

"Violet?" It asks.

I turn my head and her face softens. Madison lays in her bed looking like she just woke up and now I feel a thousand times more terrible. I woke her up with my sobs.

"Come here." She smiles and pats at her comforter. I sulk over and sit down next to her.

"So, why are you crying?" She wipes a stray tear. Her soft voice makes me want to crumble but I remind myself I only meet her yesterday. 

"M-my B-best friend ha-has been lying to me." I break down.

"What? What happened?" She pulls a strand hair behind my ear.

"Well. I- I used to date Grey." I confess. 

She widens her eyes. I guess Grey never told her.

"B-But then he left, and I was so miserable." I cry out. "And Jamie said Lucas left her too. We were so sad, but we had each other!" I hiccup. "And she told me t-that she had no contact with Lucas or Grey. And I believed her! B-but she lied the entire time!" I grip the comforter. My chest feels tight, and it begins to become increasingly hard to breathe.

"I'm not even sad about her being with Lucas! I just wish she never lied to me." I wipe my tears. "It just hurts knowing she lied to me for four years!" I bury my head into her soft comforter.

"I understand." She strokes my hair. "I've been lied to. I know how it feels." She gives me sympathetic face. "But you know what I did? I confronted them."

I peak my head up again.

"Most of time, lie has a reason, and sometimes we have no idea what that reason is until we ask them." She continues to run her fingers through my hair. "Doesn't excuse the behavior, but it can lead to an explanation."

"s-so i should talk to her?" I wipe at my puffy eyes.

The thought of talking to Jamie scares me, but the thought of never talking to her scares me even more.
