Secrets and Loose ends.

7. Another one

It's been about a week since we and Spencer spoke. I texted him, he read it but he didn't respond.

I told him the location of the party and I got back a okay. Me and him have plenty to talk about, we haven't really talked about our little kiss.

I did tell him to take his time, ___Maybe it's all in my head I don't know.

"Girl stop staring at your phone come out here."

"I'm not staring at my phone I'm...goi-scrolling through Insta." I lie.

"You still waiting for Spencer to text you back?"

It's like Simone is reading my mind right now.

I sigh before turning around facing the ceiling putting my phone in my face.

"I guess. I'm worried about him."

"Why are you worried Liv? He's the one ignoring you and doing all that short responses bullshit."

"But you can't blame him. You don't know if he's going through something, and I told him that I would be waiting to talk until he's ready."

"And you're not doing that Liv. If you keep texting him instead of waiting until he's ready. He won't be ready, he'll come back the same."

"...weren't you just grilling him like last week?"

"That was last week, I see the effect he has on you. If your happy with him, I'll support you."

"What effect are you talking about. I'm-me."

"You act differently when your around him."

"No I don't."

Do I? I don't think I do.

"I think I've said this before. If I haven't I'm saying it now, you have a soft spot for him Liv."

"I don't see anything wrong with that."

"Liv...don't hate me for saying this but...you did the same thing with Jahmir. You had a soft spot for him and he took advantage of that."

"You know what. Don't you think we should go see how Layla's doing?"

"Liv don't try and run away from this conversation. The sooner you have it with someone the sooner you'll realize."

"Simone there is nothing to realize! I've moved on. And I don't care about my past relationship. He is in the past this is the future. You guys keep bringing him up every time something happens in my life. Why can't y'all just let it go."

Now I'm stressed and bugged, because she's not wrong. I had a soft spot for Jamhir anddd it went left.

"Liv you're going to dig yourself into a deeper hole if you don't and realize what your doing."

"You know, I don't really think I wanna have this conversation with you anymore. We have a party to get ready for and standing here talking is wasting time."

"Liv, don't be like that."

"I'm not being like nothing Simone! But sometimes you have to know when you start overstepping."

Suddenly the mood changes. Simone is walking out my room. My phone turns on, another tmz report on my family.

"Don't these people have lives."

A couple minutes pass by before I finally leave my room. I walk to my living forgetting that I have new uninvited roommates living with me.

As I enter the living room, I see two strangers sitting on my couch. They both turn to look at me and I freeze, not knowing what to do or say.
