"Drew's the one with the really sharp jawline, Mar." Izzy tells her sister. I sigh and turn my music up louder on my earphones to block out their conversation. It's Sunday night and so far we haven't done anything out of the ordinary, unless you count the topic of conversation. Izzy and Amara have not stopped talking about Boy Band and even though I do join in some of the conversations, I choose to not be engaged in it 24/7.Unfortunately for me, my phone just died so the talk of the show fills my ears once again.
"I like Miles too, he's kinda mysterious. Definitely my type," Izzy says and pulls out her phone.
"Yeah he's an ass, definitely your type." Amara smirks and Izzy slaps her arm.
"Ow! It's true and you know it!" She continues and turns to me. "Isn't it true, Vic?"
"I plead the fifth." I put my hands up in defense not wanting to get slapped.
"Good choice." Izzy states.
"Anyways," Amara changes the topic. "I haven't really been able to find a place where the guys would be hanging out."
"I didn't really expect you to. It's complicated and, like I've said multiple times, a long-shot." I sigh and plug my phone in to charge.
"I'll keep checking up, though. We can give it till Thursday." She says and I nod.
"Fine by me, of course."
"Guys look at how sharp his jawline is," Izzy swoons and turns her phone screen towards us revealing a picture of Drew.
"Don't really know what you see in him." Amara counters her sister.
"Are you seriously going to keep going against each guy I like?" Izzy snaps back and I lean back against my bed frame and sigh.
"You've proven to not have the very best taste, so yeah." Amara argues back.
"Alright, Amara. Tell soft, pastel, vanilla Brady I said hi." I covered my mouth to stifle a laugh.
"Don't worry I will soon when I find out where these guys are." She smiles at me and I give her a thumbs up.
"Can't wait!" Izzy responds and rolls her eyes.
"On a separate note," I begin. "Have either of you been looking for any jobs?"
"I'm 15 so there's not much I can do, so no." Amara informs.
"Oh damn, I forgot about that. I haven't." Izzy tells me.
"Well, we need to find a part-time or something to pay for all the college expenses. My dad isn't helping at all and I feel bad for making my sister and your parents pay for almost everything." I sigh. I need to find a job so I can start paying for most of my own stuff already.
"Don't feel bad you're like a sister to us. My parents don't mind," Amara comforts me but I frown.
"Thank you guys so much, but still, I wanna start being a little more independent." I state.
"Got it. We'll help you find a job soon enough." Amara smiles and I thank her.
"You've gotta be kidding me," Izzy scoffs while looking down at her phone.
"What is it?" I wonder. She passes me her phone that's opened up to the Snapchat app. "Replay Kat's story."
I do as she says and immediately feel myself tense up. It's a video of her, Jackson, Robby, and some other girl. Kat is sitting on Jackson's lap and his arms are wrapped around her waist. Robby and the blonde are in the same position. They all seem to be in a booth at some club, clearly drunk out of their minds. I replay the video again and my stomach churns at the sight of Jackson and Kat together. It's still unreal to me.
"Cool." I sigh and hand Izzy her phone back.
"I don't think I should've showed you that, I'm sorry." She tells me with an apologetic look on her face and I shake my head.
"Don't be sorry," I laugh emotionlessly. "I'm glad you showed me. Gives me more of a reason to be angry and hopeful that this wack plan will work."
"They're all extremely dysfunctional," Amara adds. "It's not even worth wasting our time on them."
"You're right, Mar. It really isn't. But for my own sake, I want to go through with this now more than ever." I say while feeling the anger boil up inside me.
"I second that!" Izzy agrees.
"Well I'll keep searching then. I should find something soon enough." Amara states and plops on the bed.
"Great, well, that's that! I'm gonna go ahead and take a shower then I'm going to sleep." I sigh and stand up. I rummage through the drawers and find something simple and comfortable to wear and then I go into the bathroom. I already took a shower today but this seems the only place I seem to able to be left alone to my thoughts. As much as I love and appreciate Izzy and Amara being there for me through this, there's times that I'd just rather be by myself. This is one of those times.
I turn on the hot water and step inside. Soon enough, I'm overwhelmed by all my thoughts. I continuously have to remind myself that everything happens for a reason, but I can't seem to think of any good reason for this.
