"I was so embarrassed Jamie, I thought I was going to literally implode." She put a pillow over her face.
"We all get drunk, that's not a big deal."
"Yeah, but drunk, flirting with random guys who does that?"
"You were just having fun. So, okay what happened when he brought you back?" Jamie took the pillow away from Jen.
"I woke up and he was asleep on the floor."
"On the floor" Jamie sounded shocked
"Yeah, it was weird yet comforting."
"Well bonus points for him for not being a pervert."
"I don't want to drink ever again."
"Yeah until this weekend comes" Jamie laughed.
Just then Jennifer's phone rang, it was Jade.
"Hey, sorry I never called you the other day."
"It's cool I'm glad you got home safe. Who was that guy?"
"Oh, he's just a friend."
"Right, you were throwing a fit when I tried to call Jamie over him." Jade was prying.
"Drunken tantrum, not a big deal. I knew he would come get me that's all."
"Right, so did he spend the night?" Jades tone was short
"Yeah..." Jennifer wasn't sure why Jade cared so much
"Uh huh. Okay then."
"Okay what? What are you getting at?"
"You're dick diking." She laughed.
"I'm what?!" Jennifer was furious
"You're sleeping with him."
"No the hell I'm not."
"You don't have to lie to me, I mean if you wanna take dick on the low that's your business. But don't try and sit here and front like you're a lesbian when you're not."
"You've lost your mind Jade."
"Nah, Lex said she saw you flirting with that dude that was tryna take you home, then this mystery man shows up and spends the night. Come one Jen."
"So you trust some internet chick over your friend? You're unbelievable." Jennifer's eyes were starting to water.
"I'm just saying it's not normal, but you're my friend so I don't care what you do."
"Yeah, my friend. That's bullshit. I can't even talk to you right now."
"Jen, it's not like I'm going to tell anyone." Her voice became calmer
"There's nothing to tell. You give me shit for being with Aaryn and now because I called my guy friend to help me out you think somethings going on. I see the kind of person you think I am."
"I didn't mean to –"
"Just save it, I gotta go." Jennifer hung the phone up and looked at her sister.
"This is what I didn't want to happen."
"Screw Jade, she's always been a bitter bitch."
"Yeah, but what if she's right? What if I'm not a real lesbian.." Jennifer hung her head down.
"Jen you are whatever you want to be and how what's a real lesbian anyways?"
"I don't know, I don't even know how I feel about him. But it was like I knew I could count on him."
"Okay so end of story. I just think it's hypocritical that straight girls can be gay for you and its totally fine, but let a lesbian like a guy and all of a sudden its burn her at the stake, kick her out the gay club. At the end of the day whoever has an issue with what you do with your life, well you don't need them."
"Easier said than done." Jennifer got up and left the room.
