Sinead

One week later

"Are you alright?" Jesse asked. I sigh and give a small nod as I grab a piece of hair to curl it. Today's the day, I'm having lunch with Julian to hopefully talk things out like fucking adults.

Honestly I'm tired of going through this same cycle. I'm sick of all the drama and childish bullshit. Like if I have to line everyone up on bye one and talk, I'll talk to everyone one on one just so this shit can be done.

"Remember how much you've grown, and how strong you are." He says then kissed my cheek.

"Right, this is gonna be a positive thing." I breathed. Hopefully.

After I finish my hair, I grab my things and we head out. Jesse is gonna ride with me and he'll be in a different section of the restaurant. He says he'll only pop up if I text him that shit is going to the left.

During the car ride the girls group chat is blowing up. Like they're texting back to back.

Melrose: I JUST WATCHED SIN PULL OUT THE DRIVEWAY, MISSION IS UNDERWAY

Diana: I wish you the best of luck but i swear to god i will kill him! like chop him, blend it, and feed it to my pop pop's pig sty!!

Harper: AND IM HELPING

Melrose: I wanna help with kidnapping 😈

Me: Y'all are always planning something devious omg

Diana: Those who hurt my sinny pooh will FUCKING SUFFER

Harper: H E L L Y E A H

Melrose: we're getting them bitches one by one, first up the backstabbing bitch Quinn. 😘

Harper: I'm so excited for this!

I chuckle and shake my head. They're so crazy but they did ease my nerves a little bit. It's so refreshing having friends that truly care about you and your well being.

I feel so loved, wanted and included. Something I wasn't receiving when I first got here. That is something I'm so happy I get to experience.

"You got this baby, and I'll be no more than thirty feet away." Jesse said as we stood next to the car.

I nod and wrap my arms around him. "I love you so much."

He smiled then kissed my forehead. "I love you more, now go... I'll be coming in about ten minutes."

"Okay."

I turn and walk up to the door. I give a look back at Jesse then take a deep breath. You got this Sinead. You've fucking got this.

Upon walking inside I scan the area. Where would he be sitting? I glance upon a booth in the corner and we make eye contact.

My heart is literally in my throat right now. I make my way over, trying to play it so cool. Part of me wants to just turn around and go home.

What good would that do? He's gonna be in my life until the day I die. We might as well be on good terms right? Well hopefully, we all know how he just flips the fucking script out of nowhere.

Once I'm at the booth, I take my seat across from him. He put the menu down and looked up at me. I watch as he scans my body before his eyes meet mine.

"You look so beautiful." He says softly.

I chuckle nervously, "Well hello to you too."

"My bad, good afternoon Sin."
