The Right Time (Together-Part 1)(Completed)

Chapter 15

Zosia

I watch him drive away and wonder how I'm going to make it until next week. When he kisses me like that, it's so hard to let him leave me. I keep telling myself, one month down, just a few more to go. As I'm walking into the house, Se calls me and asks if I want to join her and Carly for dinner. I check with my mom and she has plans, so I accept.

She picks me up at five and then we ride two houses to Carly's house and she comes out and gets in the car. I always laugh at this because it's just two houses. It's like a stop sign that too close or something. "Where do you want to go eat? We felt that you would need a little cheering up after Dorien left." Carly says. I laugh. "I'm almost glad that he's gone."

They both look at me funny. "Why?" Se asks. "Because as much as I love him being here. The situation with Jenna drove me nuts." I cross my arms. "Yea, she followed us when we left. Did you leave then?" Carly says. I nod. "She was waiting for you when you all got back this morning, wasn't she?" Se asks. I nod again. "Damn! That girl is crazy! I hope it's not another Raine." Se says. "Me neither." I say.

My phone rings. I look down and it's Marne. I accept the call and put it on speaker. "What's up Marne?" I say. "What did you do to that girl? She showed up to my house early this morning pissed! She just left about ten minutes ago." I tell all of them how she came to the door this morning and my mom kicked her out. They all laugh and I'm shaking my head. "What is she talking about doing?" I ask. "She didn't say, she just kept saying that she's going to ruin your life. She said that she was going to take everything that you have." Marne says. "What do I have other than Dorien that she wants?" I ask.

"I think she wants your life or something." Marne says. "She kept talking about how you are beneath her and we shouldn't be following you."

"I don't know why she keeps saying that. No one is following me." I snap. "Actually, we kind of are." Carly says, "But not in the way that you think." She stops me before I can argue. "It's simple really. You are a very nice person. You speak to everyone and you don't ever talk bad behind someone's back. People flock to you because they want to be around you. I really like and hang around you because you are genuine. There is not a fake bone in your body." She says.

"Same here." Se says, "And you know that I'm telling the truth because I have been around you since we were nine years old." "Me too." Marne says over the phone. "Thanks so much you guys. This makes me feel so much better." I tell them.

"What are you all doing now?" Marne says. "Trying to figure out where to go for dinner." I explain. "Let's go to that Chinese restaurant by the mall." She suggests. "Sounds good." I say. Se and Carly agree, so we decide to meet Marne there. When we hang up, I make sure that we are disconnected before I say it. "I don't really trust her. I think she's sitting on the fence to see how this turns out. She doesn't want to just plead alliance to just one side."

"I agree." Both Carly and Se say. "I think that they should be on a need to know basis." Carly and Se agree as we pull up to the restaurant. "I'm glad that we talked to her though, I'm really ready for Chinese." Se says. "Me too!" I say, my mouth watering as we approach the restaurant. We get our seat and look at our menus while we wait for Marne to arrive. "Oh shit." Carly whispers. "What?" Se says. "Look." She points towards the front behind the menu. Marne is there, but Jenna is with her. "Can I catch a break?" I say. "Let's eat, chitchat and get out of here." Se says under her breath as they approach the table. Marne reaches the table first. "Sorry guys." She mumbles while Jenna brings up the rear. "Hi!" She says cheerfully as she reaches the table. She sits down across from me. We ask the server for another table since we have the extra person.
