I didn't know if Jaycee was working today or not but the cafe wasn't far to walk so I walked there first.
When I got there I didn't see her car. So I got an uber to come pick me up.
After a ten minute drive I thanked them for the ride and got out in front of Jaycees apartment.
I headed up to her apartment and there were boxes sitting outside.
I couldn't tell if they were Savannas or Jaycees.
But my question was answered when the door flung open and Savanna threw another box out.
She went to head back inside but the turned back at me.
"Jaycee isn't here" she looked like she had been crying, "so you shouldn't be"
She liked me two hours ago.
"Where is she?" I asked stepping into the doorway of the apartment.
She was throwing books into a box now, "You should know since you've been the one sleeping with her!"
"Wha-" I stopped when I saw Bailey.
Then everything flipped. I didn't know what the truth was but I wanted Jaycees arms around me and I also wanted to scream.
"You're the one who told her we were sleeping together?! Didn't you? God I was so wrong about you. I thought maybe they were lying about you but no they were right, you are a serpent."
She stepped forward, "You Lydia you're such a little bitch. Oh I'm a Christian! Oh I'm a goddess! you're fake! You act like all of these things but when it comes down to you're no better than anyone else!"
I didn't know what to say.
She scuffed, "Awe are you gonna cry now?"
I jogged down the stairs.
When I got down there I realized I didn't really know what to do.
I didn't want to go home.
So I just walked down the sidewalk.
I passed the park and I saw her.
Her car was parked and she was sitting on the hood.
I ran to the crosswalk then ran across.
She hadn't noticed me yet.
I was running as fast as I could through the parking lot and once I got close she looked up at turned towards me.
"Lydia?" She stood up.
I just ran into her and wrapped my arms around her.
She stumbled back.
"Um, Ly-" I stopped her.
"I'm so sorry I should have listened to you earlier but instead I cut you off, I'm sorry I didn't know Savanna was such a turd I didn't know Bailey was so awful.
I'm sorry for not listening to you, I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions. I'm just so sorry and Savanna is kicking you out and you can live with me, we can be homeless together, I didn't mean to destroy everything. Maybe I am young, maybe I am immature, maybe I'm not sure what love is, maybe I don't but maybe I do, maybe I love you. Jaycee I'm such a mess and you're a mess and i just want to be one big mess together because you make me feel like there's nothing I can't do and I need you more than you know and-"
She finally hugged me back and rested her chin on my head and just shushed me while rubbing my back.
"I should have told you. I shouldn't have messed around with you like I did. I was in the wrong here Lyd. Don't be sorry. It's not your fault."
My head was rested on her chest and I could feel her heartbeat, "what are we?"
"We're good baby girl," she kissed my forehead, "we're good."
