✧*̥˚"You deserve better" *̥˚✧
A week had passed since Stagecoach and everything was great. Josh and I hung out a lot during the week, then over the weekend, I slept over at Mads's house. Mads and I are chilling on her bed. She's scrolling on her phone while I pet Juice. She shoots up, "What the fuck!" "What?" I sit up and stare at her in concern. "Look." She turns her phone around and my eyes are met with a tiktokinsiders post of Josh walking Buddy with Nessa. "Oh wow." "I can't believe him! Like I actually can't. How can he be so fucking stupid? How many times is he gonna let her fuck with his feelings? He's lost two best friends because of her; you'd think he'd learn. If he gets back with her, he can make it three cause I'm not putting up with that shit!" "Yeah, I can't believe he'd do that to not only himself but to you. I'm sorry Mads; you deserve better." I say in a low voice. "Forget me; you deserve better. I'm so sorry he led you on, mamas." She wraps her arms around me. "No, I mean, he doesn't owe me anything, especially not loyalty, so it's all good." She pulls back and looks me in the eyes, "Julia, it's ok for you to be sad. Your feelings are valid; don't let anyone tell you otherwise." With those words, I broke. She pulls me back in, and I cry into her shoulder. "I know we could never be anything serious, but I was really hoping there was just the slightest possibility we'd get a chance to be together. But in the end, it wasn't even Bryce who kept us apart; it was Josh. I thought he was genuinely into me, but I was just another victim of his demon time activities." "He's a fucking idiot if he chooses Nessa over you, and I promise you if he does, he'll regret it. You're so much better than this. You deserve better than this, and I'm not gonna let him treat us like this. I'm gonna confront his ass." "Please don't bring me up. I don't want him to know that I'm hurt." "Ok, I won't." "Pinky promise?" I hold out my pinky; she intertwines hers with mine. "Pinky promise." She seals it with a kiss. I stand up and grab my bag. "K, well, I'm gonna head out." "Alright, babe. Are you sure you're ok?" "Yeah, I'll be fine." "If you say so. Check up on you later, ok. Love ya and drive safely, please!" She calls out as I walk out her bedroom door. "K, love you too." I walk through the living room and see Riley sitting on the couch. "Bye, Ri." "Wait!" She quickly pauses the tv and stumbles off the couch. She stands in front of me. "You ok?" "Yeah, I'm good." "You sure?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "Ok, call me if you need anything and drive safe." "Thanks, Ri." "Anytime." She returns to the couch and I walk out the door.
