Chapter 11

Why the fuck is the door unlocked...

I pulled out my keys to unlock the door but instead it locks meaning it was already open, or maybe I just don't know how to properly open doors

The lights in our kitchen are on but dimmed, I immediately freeze once I notice who's sitting right in front of me

Holy shit

I whisper to myself as Emily and my mother are both seated on our tall chairs in the kitchen, their attention shoots to me once they noticed me walk in

"Emily? what the fuck is wrong with you, you haven't texted me for nearly a week!" I say, my voice slightly rising from anger

This bitch went ghost on me now she's drinking... my orange juice with my mom?

"Let me explain Jen please, I'm sorry" She replies getting off her chair, her tone is calm which just annoys me more

"I'll leave you girls alone" my mom says grabbing her phone off the counter " and Jen, drop the attitude" She adds while her facial expression switches, like she's warning me

My eyes follow my mom to the bathroom then back to Emily

She don't deserve to be called Emi right now

"So what have you got to say? I'm tired I wanna go to bed hurry" I say setting down my phone on the counter and leaning against it

"First of all, I'm sorry for doing what I did" She begins to which I nod

"Second of all..." she adds on but pauses

I scoff "You don't really have an excuse do you?"

"It's just hard to explain" she looks down at her hands fiddling with one of her rings

"Just tell me, you're my best friend and I'll listen to whatever you have to say" My voice lowers since Emily seems nervous

I don't want to add on stress

"I like you" she suddenly says looking up at me

I'm sorry what

My eyebrows furrow not knowing what to reply with

"Like... as in?" I whisper

"I have romantic feelings towards you Jen, and seeing you with someone just... pissed me off I guess"

"So instead of just telling me, you ghost me? You made me feel like shit all week Emily, there was no need for all of that" I reply

"Like I said, I'm sorry Jen, I know I should have done that instead" She bites the inside of her cheek anxiously

"It's okay, just don't do that shit again bruh"

She moves closer to me opening her arms

"Do I get a 'friends again' hug?" She smiles waiting for a reaction from me

"I'll think about it" I smile but shortly after hug her back, wrapping my arms around her shoulders

"Soooo..." she drags out still being wrapped around my waist

"So what?" I say in confusion

"I told you I have romantic feelings towards you and I got no comment" She chuckles moving away from my hug but still being close to my body

"Oh... uh... well...."

What the fuck do I say

"Well you're my friend and I kinda... only see you as that" Now I'm the nervous one here
