We all decided that ordering pizza and watching a movie would be the perfect way to spend our night. Once the pizza was delivered, we decided on a movie. "The Age of Ultron" sounded appealing to all of us, except for Karmen; but majority rules so she'd have to suck it up.
We were about an hour in, and my eyes kept falling on Karmen. The more I looked at her, the more depressed I got. Why was she here? Why was I here? Why was any of this here?
I got up in the middle of the movie, pulling myself out of Adam's arms. I walked to the kitchen and looked at the top of the fridge. I debated what was the strongest, I settled for the vodka and took it outside with me. I opened it and sat on the doorstep, grabbing my pack of cigarettes out of my pocket and lighting one.
I heard the door behind me open.
Someone sat down next to me and I knew it was Jack. "Are you alright?" he asked me.
"No," I said, taking a sip from the bottle.
"Want to talk about it?"
"It's just... her. She's too much, what's wrong with me? Why is she here? Why am I here? Why do I think so much? What's wrong with me, am I that bad that she just wanted to betray me and stop being my friend like that? Why does any of this exist? Why do I exist?" I said the last part quietly, taking a puff of my cigarette.
"Whoa, Addie, slow down," Jack said, "Is that really what you've been thinking this whole time?" I nodded slowly, breathing out all of the smoke.
"Listen to me Addie, If she wanted to do all of this shit to you, stabbing you in the back, she's not worth it," he said, "She's not worth hating and hurting yourself over, she's not worth talking to, she's not worth anything to you. And trust me when I say that you are worth it, you're worth every ounce of water in the oceans and all the stars in the sky. You are worth it."
I stayed silent, I'd heard everything he said but I still didn't look up.
"I love you, Adaline." That's when I lifted my head to look him in the eyes, "I really, really do, Addie. I love you." He said sincerely, looking me in the eyes.
I gave him a small smile after seeing he meant it, "I love you too, Jack." We shared this moment for a while longer, but a small knocking interrupted us.
Looking up, Adam was standing in the doorway; he had just knocked on the wood to get our attention. "Hey, can I, uh, talk to Addie alone for a while?" Adam asked.
Jack looked at me to make sure I was okay with it, when I nodded he patted my knee and stood up. He closed his door on the way in, leaving me and Adam alone with nothing to fill the silence but the sound of crickets. Sitting down next to me he looked me in the eyes, "Are you alright?" he asked.
