My Sweets

Letting Loose

JUNE 7
3 WEEKS since Bobby left.

JESSA

I try calling Bobby but it goes to voicemail. He hasn't really went out of his way to call me back. I can't blame the guy. I haven't been very nice to him. Maybe he really is having fun. Since I'm not getting any pictures or updates from him, I've started looking online to see what he's up to. Aislinn is with him in every picture I see of him. I'm trying not to be jealous, but it's hard. She's perfect. She doesn't have scars or a slight limp. She hasn't been physically and mentally abused. She can make my husband twinkle in a way I can't anymore.

Bre and Lottie flop down next to me and I quickly close my laptop. "That doesn't look suspicious at all," Lottie laughs, but she lets it slide. "You ready for a good old fashioned slumber party?"

"You know it!" I giggle.

"Are you sure you're up for it?" Bre asks with concern in her voice.

"Yes! I'm getting drunk and nobody can stop me."

"Well I gave Junno and Noah strict rules to keep their asses upstairs," Lottie says with a laugh.

"No boys allowed!!" Bre cheers.

"I resent that," Junno deadpans, walking in the room. "Don't give me that look, Lottie. Your vagina party hasn't started yet." Junno's phone goes off and he begins to chuckle. "Man, Bobby's living the dream right now."

He looks up at two pairs of pissed eyes staring at him. Lottie and Bre both look like they're about to murder him. Me, I'm just nervous. "He actually texted you?" I ask.

"Sure thing. We text everyday."

Now I feel nauseous. I call him and he doesn't call back. I text him and he hardly texts back. "Oh." Is all I can manage to say.

"Dammit, Junno," Lottie hisses.

"What?" Junno asks in complete confusion. His eyes fall on me. "Are you seriously upset about this? You told the guy you needed space. You told him to leave you alone so he's fucking giving you that space!"

"JUNNO!" Bre yells.

"No. Jessa and Bobby are my people and I have no issues calling either of them out on their bullshit. Right now, this is bullshit. Jessa, he's giving you the space you asked for. Plus when you do talk you fight. I doubt calling you is number one on his list of things to do right now."

Lottie's voice is quiet, like a growl. "I will dismember you in your sleep, Junno, if you don't shut the fuck up."

"Man! Girls are legit crazy! I'm never settling down." He looks at me and sighs. "Listen, if it makes you feel better, he asks about you every time we talk."

I give him a small smile. "Tell him I said hi then." I look at Bre and Lottie. "I'm going to grab a shower before Chelsea and Hannah get here."

I walk up the stairs and sit on my bed. I open my messages and look through all the texts we've shared since he left.

Bobby:
- Made it. I'll probably be up for a few hours, before I fail miserably at trying to sleep. Call me if you want. XOXO

Me:
- Glad you made it. All good here. Getting treated to breakfast.

Bobby:
- Jealous. Wish I was there.

Me:
- No you don't. You're in LA.

Bobby:
- What?! I thought I was in Canada!!

Me:
- Lol. Have fun.

Bobby:
- XOXO

Bobby:
- Hey love. I'm definitely struggling to sleep without you here. I miss you already.
