* I saw my mom and we made eye contact, but she looked away. I just walked outside and got in my Uber. I let my dad know I saw my mom. When I got to Jonah's house I knocked on the door, on the verge of tears. Jonah opened the door. *
JM: Irene. Are you okay?
IC: Can I come in, please?
JM: Yeah, come in. * Jonah let me in and we went up to his room. *
JM: What's wrong, babe?
IC: Everything! * I plopped down on the bed. *
IC: Austin told me he loves me.
JM: Your roommate?
IC: Yes.
JM: Do you love him back?
IC: Oh God no. I'm not even sure that I like him as a friend. He treats me like I'm his kid, always telling me to not be out all hours of the day. This is terrible! I can't go back home.
JM: Why not?
IC: One thing that you should know about me is that I am terrible when it comes to guys. Whether I like them like that or not.
JM: You're not terrible with me.
IC: Did you not hear the way I talked when we first met?
JM: I did, but I didn't really care. I think it's cute.
IC: Yeah, well, I don't. Anyway, Austin and I have been friends since I was 12! It's gonna be so awkward between us.
JM: Since you were twelve?
IC: Well we've known each other for that long. He's my best friend's little brother. I knew he liked me, but I just thought it was a simple crush. He loves me, babe. I don't know what to do.
JM: I'm sorry, babe.
IC: Maybe I should just move out of the dorm.
JM: That sounds like a good idea.
IC: Yeah, it'll save me a lot of money too, but then I'll have to move back in with my mom and that is definitely not happening.
JM: You could move in here.
IC: Don't you think that's moving too fast though?
JM: I can sleep on the couch if you want me to. * I smiled. *
IC: I'll move in, but you are not sleeping on the couch. We can cuddle.
JM: That sounds great. * We both smiled. *
IC: I am going to bed, you are welcome to join me if you would like. * I got under the covers. *
JM: Two things. 1. It's 2 in the afternoon and 2. Are you seriously going to sleep in your jeans?
IC: I know and yes I am. Are you joining me or not?
JM: I think I'm good. Do you want some food?
IC: Are you making it?
JM: Yeah.
IC: Are you a good cook?
JM: I would like to think I am.
IC: I would love some food.
JM: Great. I'll be back soon. * Jonah left the room and I went to sleep. About an hour later I felt someone staring at me. I opened my eyes. This is who I saw. *
