and you never knew (Junior Wheeler x female OC)

all the ways you could love an enemy

Tomorrow came. However, sleep did not. Lydia could get herself to close her eyes but not to go to sleep. So many thoughts were swarming her head but none to great to remember. A sleep deprived Lydia rolled out of bed to get ready.

---

My parents were out working per usual, they wouldn't have noticed my absence anyways though. It didn't bother me as much as people thought. 

I grabbed my bike from the garage and headed to Juniors house. It was a fairly cold fall morning, the breeze blew nicely in my face as I headed down the road. Junior lived right in the neighborhood but I still never knew him. I just hoped Jake would at least open that door instead of anyone else, I though as I arrived at his house.

-

A 5'7" Junior looking figure stood at the door when I knocked. I was lucky it wasn't his parents though. He was wearing a gray sweater and jeans, he looked the same amount of sleep deprived as I did. I remembered the break up from last night, figuring that might have caused his sleeplessness. "Lydia? Do you need something?" , he rubbed his hand over his face. "Jake invited me" , I replied. "Come in, hes not up yet, uh I'll get him" , he led me into his house leading me over to his living room, ushering me over to a couch. His house was nice, it looked like Olivers. 

After he saw I was comfortable, he left upstairs to get Jake. I looked down at my phone which I hadn't checked all morning.

Oliver <3

-Did Jake tell you?

-Junior? Lexy?

-Lydia

-Lydia I'm sorry please answer.

The first texts I opened were of Oliver pleading for forgiveness. I hadn't heard anything ,that I know of ,from either of them. More texts with the keyword Oliver had come through.

Jake

-Im so sorry about Oliver and Lexy

-You dont have to come tomorrow

Oliver and Lexy? No good thought came to my mind when I thought about the combo.

I saw Junior come back with Jake. I met them with an astonished look. Jake replied with a face of sorry, as did Junior. Junior looked just as hurt as I was feeling. "Oliver and Lexy?" , I asked to the two cousins. Jake brought me into a hug, he held on tight as Junior started talking. "Lexy cheated on me with Oliver, meaning you know" , his voice came to a softened tone at the end. My arms went weak around Jake as a tear fell from my eye. I buried my head into Jakes shoulder. He was the only person I felt fully safe with at the moment, and for the first time, a bit of safeness associated with Junior too.

Once I brought myself together I pulled away to meet eyes with the boy in front of me. "what did they do?" , I almost whispered. "They talked while they were dating us. They were pretty much going out. Im really sorry you had to find out from me Lydia" , he opened his arms a little motioning me in for a hug. He wrapped his arms around my upper half, i rested mine on his stomach area. He held onto me for about ten seconds. It was odd, hugging Junior Wheeler is something Jake would have killed me for but he seemed fine with it at the moment. I didn't know what to feel, all I knew is that I didn't want to see Lexy nor Oliver for a while. My head reeled, I felt confused and sick. I felt bad for Junior too, he was going through the same thing, we had both been cheated on.

I sat down and leaned my head on my best friend, I didn't feel like talking and the same energy came from the rest of the room

so we all sat there, and we sat there for a while but it was a good while. Their presence made it better, Junior felt like a person to me now.

Lydias phone buzzed as she drifted into a sleep.
