She was on her way home early the next day.She and Jack had spoken earlier that morning.They had barely started dating and were already leaving each other. She promised to be back as soon as possible.
She was home couple of hours later. She realized how much she missed the place just then. She walked to her room and an image struck her,she and Albert kissing on the couch in her room. Why had she remembered that? The bracelet he gave her on their first anniversary was on her bed.Hadn't she packed away all the memories.She'd probably forgotten that one so she tossed into a trash can. She was done with the blur memories of him. She was starting a new story with Jack. Just the thought of him made her feel the chills. She got her phone and was staring at some cute selfie they took when her phone rang.
"Hey Mia"
"Hey boo. Fred told me you're in town"
"Oh, yeah I am. Sup?"
"Sia's birthday party tomorrow.Don't miss out"
"Sure. I didn't tell you I..."
"NOPE. I'll be at your place in a couple of hours.Keep it for when I come."
"Alright"
With that,she hung up.How was Mia going to take the news about Jack. She preferred Nick a whole lot but it wasn't her decision to make. "It's my decision to make" whispered Jena to her self. Mia could be with or against her.It was her choice. Just then, she got a text from Jack.
*Hey babe.I miss you*
This boy was a double blessing.She,however,was so tired so she got a nap and was woken by a funny-looking Mia at about 7pm.
"Jena goodness.Wake up. You smiling in your sleep? "
"Ugh. Go away Mia I wanna sleep"
Mia laughed and said,"Not a chance gorgeous.I'm spending the night.Too many preparations at home"
Jena was pleased by the news."We are gonna have fun
lady".
The girls showered,ate and Jena decided it was time to let her best friend know. When the girls were settled in Jena's room,Jena told her everything.Mia was attentive and when she was done,she asked the obvious,"What about Nick?He helped you with that jerk and you're falling for a total stranger." Jena told her best friend very sincerely that she and Nick were best as friends and nothing more. She didn't feel too sure of what she did when Mia put it like that but she knew better than to lose confidence in her judgement at any time.
"Please be happy for me Mia"
"OK. I'll try"
When the whole serene mood was dead, Mia began singing single days by Beyonce and Jena didn't get the hint. "Oh sorry.You're not single anymore.Welcome to the couple world."
Mia was talented she could switch moods and was good at cheering people up. Jena and Jack video chatted the rest if the night. Mia couldn't stand all the love talk.Jena hadn't told Jack about Nick or Albert.Things happened too fast but she would eventually.Sia's upcoming party was a priority at that moment.She had an eerie feeling about the party nut shook it off. She would be fine, she reassured herself. Eventually Mia's loud snoring distracted her thoughts and invited her to sleep.
