09. | ANGER FUELED CONFESSIONS
YESTERDAY NIGHT...
Esenae watched as Belly angrily exited the house. She placed her drink down, rushing to find Taylor.
"Taylor?" She called out the girl's name, looking around for her upstairs. "Taylor, where are you?"
"What do you want?" The girl exited the room.
"I— I just, um..." She sighed heavily. "Look, I'm sorry."
"Sorry? What would you be sorry for?" Taylor questions her sarcastically.
"Taylor, I really amsorry." Esenae grabs her hand, but Taylor quickly pulls her's away. "I didn't mean to just leave you, okay? I just got scared."
"You were scared of Belly?" Taylor laughs, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Not Belly." Esenae let's out a frustrated breath. "Okay, we don't know each other that well aside from friends. You don't know the deep things about me yet, but I hate confrontation, and I didn't want to deal with it. I'm sorry I left you alone to take the heat, and I'm sorry I let you down—"
"Woah, woah, woah." Taylor stops her. "Slow down. It's... okay. You're right, we don't know each well enough yet. I shouldn't have blown up on you. Shit, Essy, I'm sorry."
"Don't apologize." She says. "Tonight was... rough."
"Wanna get out of here then?" The Jewel girl smiles.
"Yeah." Esenae smiles back.

Taylor and Esenae entered the girl's room as silence enveloped them. They sat on Esenae's bed, thinking of what to say or do.
"Okay—" Taylor speaks up. "Let's get to know each other... on a relationship level."
"A relationship? Moving pretty fast." Esenae jokes.
"Shut up. Come on, let's do... 20 questions. I ask, you answer, then you ask." Taylor says.
"Okay." Esenae huffs.
"Alright, number one... are you a virgin?" Taylor asks.
"Wow." Esenae awkwardly looks down at her hands. "Way to start it off. Uh, n-no. I'm not a virgin."
"You're not!?" Taylor exclaims in shock.
"You're shocked?" Esenae scoffs. "I'm almost seventeen."
