I let myself into Jason's house and walked into the living room to see him sat on the couch. "Did you get your letter?" He smiled and I nodded. "Welcome to the team girly."
"Thanks." I mumbled not feeling overly excited. Any other time I would have felt so high that I couldn't come back down but after everything that's just happened I don't even feel happy.
"So I'm guessing you decided not to tell them?" He asked and then finally turned to look at me taking in my appearance and almost laughing. "Please tell me you did not walk to my house dressed like that. What the hell happened?"
"The short version or the long version?"
"Either." He shrugged.
"Okay. I got kicked out of the house, slept with my brother's best friend and band member then made a run for it in the middle of the night."
"Okay I need to know more. Give me the long version."
"Fine. My letter was posted through the door this afternoon and my Mam saw it. Obviously she recognised the logo printed on the corner of the envelope. We got into a massive agreement and then my dad threw me outta the house."
"Damn." He mumbled.
"Oh it gets better than that. Instead of coming here like I should have done I went round to my brother's house instead. I told him about the marines and he all but broke down. Then I ended up sleeping with his best friend."
"Oh my god."
"Yep and then after telling him I loved him and waiting for him to fall asleep I left."
"Wow." He mused.
"Yep I'm a heartless bitch."
"Well I suppose that could be a good thing when they're training us up to be soldiers and to go off and kill people." He tried to look on the positive side of it all.
"I suppose." I heard the front door open and close and snapped my head towards the doorway to see a young women come walking in. She saw me and her eyes clouded over with anger.
"What the fuck Jason." She spat glaring directly at me and I immediately knew what she thought.
"Brett this is Kelly. Kelly this is Brett." He introduced.
"Nice to know the name of the girl my boyfriend's cheating on me with."
"He's not cheating on you. Not with me anyways I don't know about anybody else." He playfully punched my arm and she rolled her eyes.
"Really then why are you sat half naked on his couch?"
"I'm afraid that's none of your business."
"She's my new roommate." Jason sighed. "I told you I was looking for a new roommate."
"Yeah and I expected that to be a boy." She huffed. "Why didn't you just ask me to move in with you." Great, not only have I screwed up my own life but now I have to screw up Jason's as well.
"I did and you said no. Brett is my new roommate and you're going to have to deal with that."
"I can leave if you want." I offered and she smiled at me.
"Yeah that would be great I presume you know where the door is."
"No you're staying." Jason answered at pretty much the same time. "Brett your room is up the stairs and third on the right. Go make yourself at home and I'll see you in the morning." I grabbed my backpack off the floor and carried it up the stairs with me. I quickly found my room and walked in, gasping in shock.
