Already home. (Aaron Tveit fanfiction)

23.-

It took Amy 20 minutes to put Mary to sleep. Sarah and her husband, Dan, were out on a dinner and Sarah asked Amy to look after the little baby girl for two or three hours until they went to pick her up. When The baby was finally asleep Amy sat in the couch with a cup of tea and her books, after a crazy week.

It had been a long, crazy and complicated week and it had been three days since she saw Aaron. Both theirs week had being complicated; they had too much work and little time to meet. They mostly talked on the phone. Partly, Amy didn't want to see him until he solve all his 'problems'. It was the best she could do.

The living was totally quiet; the cup of tea was over and Mary had been sleeping for like thirty minutes until someone had the amazing idea to ring the stupid bell. She knew it wasn't Aaron because he was in the theater and he knew Mary was there. Maybe it was some stupid neighbor. Whoever it was the one that rang the bell it made her get out of the couch and run to open the door.

When she opened the damn door, Amy fell like if someone was punching her in the back of her head and a cold air running down her back. "Jossie?" Amy asked completely confused. It's been weeks since the awful dinner. That was the only time she saw the blonde girl, so Amy didn't remembered her face very good. "Hey Amy. Sorry that I came here. A girl from your work gave me your address" Jossie explained, her hands hugging her body. What a beautiful thing that some people at the office didn't understand the word "Privacy".

When she saw Jossie standing there, it was funny in some point. She looked smaller than Amy, because the brunette was wearing 5 inches heels and Josie a pair of Converse. Still looking like Glinda and Elphie. "It's fine, no problem. But what are you doing here? I mean, Is everything fine??" the tallest one asked, trying to sound polite and even good. "Yes, I just wanna talk with you" Josie explained and before she could finished, Amy heard a noise coming from the baby seat. "Oh, okay, sure. Come in. Just- give me a second" she excused herself, leaving the other woman in the door and going to pick Mary, because in that moment she was crying. "Ok, princess, it's fine. You don't like her, I don't like her either. She's going to get out of here quickly, I promise. Just be with me in this one" she murmured taking Mary in her arms and hugging her against her chest and Amy felt Mary little arms around her neck.

At least Amy wasn't the only one unhappy to have Josie there. "I didn't know you have a kid" Josie murmured, closing the door softly behind her. For the fact that the blonde had, she wasn't really happy about the 'crying baby' thing. Amy didn't even care, she just keep making little moves up and down and stroking the little baby head to make felt better. "What? No, she's not mine. She's a friend's daughter; I'm babysitting while her parents are in a dinner" Amy exclaimed putting the small girl in the right side of her body. "About what do you wanna talk? I don't know how I can help you" the brunette asked, while she walked to the isle to find Mary's bottle with juice. "It's about Aaron" the blonde murmured, walking just a little inside the apartment.

Of course it was about Aaron. Oh fuck. What if he told her that they'd broke up her and that he cheated on her with Amy. Oh man. "I should've imagined. What happened with him?" Amy asked, looking at Josie and then to Mary to give her the pink bottle. She didn't know why but the small girl was always happy with her apple juice. "He's being acting strange. He's distant now. I thought this time if I went on vacation it'll make things change for better, but on the contrary. Maybe if you talked with him. Maybe you know what's going on" while Josie finished speaking, Amy felt how her blood froze.

She had to lie. She needed to lie because she couldn't tell her what happened with Aaron. Not even Amy had a very logical explanation for what happened. Or at least she didn't have a very logical explanation to give Josie about it. So yes, she had to lie. "Josie, I don't have any idea. I talked to him by phone three or four times, but nothing more" she lied, with her best 'I don't have any idea' face. She actually did it like a fucking professional. "You are his best friend; do you think he could be cheating on me? Maybe one of the dancers of that stupid show" Jossie hissed, the words going out between her teeth.

Amy would have never regretted if it wasn't for what was happening in that moment. The girl right in front of her was actually thinking that... And Amy didn't know how to keep lying anymore. Even she felt bad of looking at Mary and her red cheeks. "Look, I was his best friend, but by that time I was the age my brother has now. I don't think I'm the person who Aaron would tell something like that. I'm not one of his buddies, you know" Amy explained, again going up and down to entertain Mary while she was drinking her juice. "Yes, you are right. It's fine. I'll leave you. You are busy" Josie apologized, walking to the door. Amy followed her with Mary in her waist and opened the door. And at least the baby wasn't crying anymore. "Sorry that I couldn't help you" the brunette murmured, standing by the door as the blonde walked out of the apartment. "Don't worry. Thanks anyway. Bye" Josie said, waving and walking toward the elevators down the hall.

Amy didn't say anything, only waved with her hand. She closed the door behind her back, kissed Mary's head and get Elmo from the couch to play with the girl, because she wasn't going to be able to concentrate in her books again.
