Abrelle's POV

"I didn't think it'd upset you," Noah says.

Breathe Abrelle.

It's in the past.

"I'm not upset," I answer leaning against Nat's room wall.

So we're currently inside Nat's room talking about the fact that J and Liz are in the living room.

"You are," he frowns.

"No I'm not," I tell him. "I was surprised that's all."

Well, I'm a little upset.

"Okay," he answers before walking out the room and going towards the living room.

I stand there a few seconds taking a deep breath before following him.

"It's been a long time," Jason says as I walk into the living room. He's talking to Noah.

"It has," they embrace. "I haven't seen you both in a while."

"It's been crazy the last few years," Liz smiles hugging Noah as well.

"Abrelle," Jason smiles at me and I smile back.

"How you been Abrelle?" Liz ask and I shrug.

"I've been good," I say slowly walking towards them.

"That's good," Liz smiles and I nod slightly.

We stand there for a few seconds in silence.

"What about you?" I ask.

"I've been good," she answers.

"That's good," I nod.

The silence hits us again and I don't know exactly what to say.

We don't know each other.

Not anymore.

"Let's have dinner," Noah says after a few seconds and we all nod happily to have the silence finish.

"So we're both working for a firm nearby," Liz smiles as she serves herself more wine.

"That's great," Noah says and I can feel them looking at me, but I stare directly at my food slowly moving it around with my fork.

"How about you?" J asks and I can tell he's talking to Noah. "I heard you got really famous after the. . .um case."

"Right," Noah clears his throat. "I've been traveling around doing work in many different places. Right now I'm working in Elle's company looking through all the contracts they sign, but I'm open to doing cases as well."

"And you Abrelle?" Liz asks and I look up.

"I'm running the company," I say and they nod as if waiting for me to continue, but I don't.

"That's good," Liz says after a few seconds. "I bet that's keeping you busy."

"It is," I say as I sip my glass of wine.

God, why did Noah invite them?

What did he expect?

I'd be super happy to see the "friends" who abandoned me after my case.

If they were so pissed that I lied to them, why the hell did they show up for the trial?

Breathe Abrelle.
