By the time I've made it to Sarah's I'm already hiccuping and have a migraine. I use my key to get into her house and walk upstairs. I glance down at my watch. 7am. Sarah is a drunk she's gonna be sleeping. I tiptoe into the room and get under the blanket with her. She must've felt the bed shift because as soon as I laid down her eyes popped open.
"Mom what are you doing here?"
"Freckles I need consoled." Sarah cuddles up with me.
"What's wrong Jess are you okay?"
"Daniel doesn't love me anymore he wants the young me back." I sob.
"How do you know that?"
"I walked in on him masterbating to a picture of me after I had the twins."
"It's okay Jess." She hugs me and I feel as if I'm not alone in this. I've always loved that about Sarah. Since day one of AHS when we reunited we've been inseparable. Meryl became fast friends with Susan (Sarandon) after I took to Sarah. I think she was jealous of My and Sarah's relationship. I honestly just want my mom to tell me its okay. But her and Daddy are gone. I'm alone my brothers and sisters disowned me. Zoey is in Italy. Even though we've begged her to stay with us especially after John died. Angelica would take Danny's side. She always did. So here I am with the one person who will listen and make me feel better here I am with the woman that I would give the world to because of her kindness to me. Me a 65 year old woman has a 39 year old best friend but honestly in the end its being loyal that keeps people close to me. I need a drink and I know Sarah will go with me.
"Sarah come down to bar with me please?"
"It's only 7:30am Jess......... of course I will lets get wasted before 11am."
"Okay." She grabs her phone to call an uber.
"No, we will walk before we take a uber." She laughs at me. She calls a taxi for us instead. I'd kill just to be 40 again. When I was 40 I looked like I was 30. The cigarette smoking aged me a little bit too. But when I was 40 Daniel was all over me. And again I'm pulled back into reality.
"Jess are you okay? You look too deep in thought." I quickly come back into reality and smile.
"I'm just ready to drink."
