My Crush's Bestfriend ✔️

Chapter 30 : Miss You

♡ Jessica Woods ♡

There was an idiom saying; When it rains, it pours.

And right now it was so relatable to my current life. It has been two days since I got blamed for someone's fault and undoubtedly playing the role of a scapegoat. And when there were so many people fighting for their justice, I don't think either God or anyone would pay attention to the unfair action that happened to me.

But what hurt me the most was, when my closed ones too suddenly started to ignore me. Still Louise and Alex were barely talking with me, though the two of them haven't brought up the Jace's topic atleast once in the past two days.

I was an awkward introvert and I had a handful of friends in my whole seventeen-year-life and when they stopped talking to me, I felt disheartened. For the past two days, Louise didn't have breakfast with me as she suddenly decided to spend some more time with Ryan. I wasn't complaining though.

On the other hand, I was grounded and neither I could go anywhere nor could I use my phone. And my hair started to fall severely and over and above all, I've got my period yesterday. Yeah, screw my life.

But I decided not to think about anything and cry my eyes out like usual. Because it was like giving punishment to myself for something I didn't do. The more I think about it, the more my heart breaks into pieces.

I've been stuffing my face with dark chocolate and having a movie marathon to distract myself. As strange as it may sound, I was watching horror film series instead of romantic movie series.

I paused the movie when I heard a knock on my door. The door slowly opened and Alex poked his head in. "Jessie?"

"Come on in." I nodded my head and he nodded in return before approaching me. He sat on the bed next to me with an unreadable expression which replaced into an amused look when he glanced at my laptop screen.

"Tired of sappy movies huh?" he teased and I smiled faintly back.

"What brings you here?" I asked and he let out a soft sigh, glancing around.

"Well, Georgia woke up. Finally." he muttered and I gave him a tight-lipped smile.

"That's great."

He looked at me with creased forehead, obviously at my lack of enthusiasm, but his expression changed when his gaze turned towards the thing I was holding on.

"Er.. are you eating dark chocolate?" he asked, pointing to it and I looked down at the dark chocolate before nodding.

"Yeah. You want a bite?" I offered but he shook his head quickly.

"No, no. Thanks though." he said and I smiled again, fidgeting with the chocolate bar. I noticed he was studying my face cautiously before shaking his head in discouragement.

"Jessie, do you want me talk to mom?" he asked and I frowned.

"For what?"

"Uh, y'know, if you explain her properly what really happened, maybe she'd forgive you." he replied and I snorted.

"Come on, Alex. If you came here to talk about this then-"

"I came here to talk about Georgia but you seemed oddly incurious about her so I changed the subject." he admitted, cutting me off and I stared at him for a second or two before sighing defeatedly.

"Alright. Tell me how she is." I asked, sitting properly and he rolled his eyes but responded me anyways.

"She's better now and she's going home today."
