The jerk's bestfriend

Reunited

Here I am in front of my house, the place I grew up in but the only thing on my mind was how my mom was doing.

"Go on open it." James looks at me, nodding at the door.

"I'm nervous." I say with a warm smile, rubbing my hands together, he returned the warm smile and suddenly wrap his arms around me making me freeze.

"Don't be." He flashed his bright smile at me and I nodded, reaching for the door nob and slowly twisting it around, I was scared that my mom wasn't doing okay without me, I was also scared that she was doing okay without me and I just don't know what to want.

As soon as i opened the door, James let his arms off my shoulder and I am faced with my mom and Lindsay my dad's wife.

Lindsay also had a smile on her face both of them smiling at me. I turned to Lindsay happily.

"I said it! You meant to bring me here didn't you!" I gladly said to Lindsay making her laugh, I ran and hug her tight, whispering a thank you to her then turned to my mom who didn't look any different. James and Lindsay walked out having their own simple conversation as well, giving me and my mom space

"You look beautiful, you are still short though" My moms eyes swelled up with tears as she tightens are lips together with a smile, trying to hold her tears.

I couldn't help but smile, of course that was the first thing she was going to notice.

"Thank_" before I could finish my sentence she wrapped me in her arms.

"I'm so sorry Betty! I didn't mean anything I said before, I swear I regretted it like bastard, I tried to get you, I swear I did, but I couldn't find you , I didn't know where he took you and.. And he didn't talk to me anymore, I swear I_"

"Mom!" I laugh interrupted her rant. "Its okay." I look up at her, bringing my hands up to wipe her tears with my fingers.

"I feel so ashamed!" She sobbed.

"I never knew you had that feeling." I laugh making her laugh in between her tears

"Oh shut up, I had always had shame and dignity." Her words made me laugh harder.

"Mom, are you sure!"

"Of course!"

"For real!"

"Yes."

"So you haven't flirt with any boy since I was gone." I smirk at her.

"Of course not!" She defends but then pause her lip, raise her index finger shyly. "Just one."

"Really?" I raise a eyebrow.

"Maybe two."

"Mom!" I laughed at the fact that she never changed.

"Oh don't judge me, I was trying to find you so hard."

" by dating? "

"Detective, correction, by dating detectives."

"Oh my god mom. You never change." I smiled at her and she smiled back, we stayed in each others arms smiling warmly at each other for at least a minute.

"We should do some catching up, you seem like you've changed." My mom broke the silence.

"I haven't though." I said, and she released me, walking towards the sofa and patting the space beside her, asking me to sit beside her, I look around for a bit and nothings changed, the old carpet was still there, the stairs was the same, the sofa was the same, the dining room seems the same for afar except the place was messy with paper probably my mom's designs.

I sat down beside her and she wraps her arms around me.

"Any love life?" She asks and my eyebrows rose.

"None." I replied honestly, i mean she should know that I was definitely going to be a failure in love life.

"Liar, you're so pretty how can you be single?"

"I'm not! And I'm pretty single last time I checked" I laugh.

"You are, you look like me, so how can you not be beautiful?"

"Well I'm single and I guess that's that for me." I see my mom pouting at it.

"Most kids younger than you already have a relationship but I guess you are different cause your my baby and you'll stay a virgin till marriage!" My mom tightened her hug around with a goofy smile.

Something came into my mind that I really wanted to know.

"So what's going one with um.." I was scared that my mom would start pointing and accusing me of things if I said something suspicious, so I decided to pick my words wisely. "James, how's school and stuff for him."

"Why don't you ask him." My mom gave me a confuse face. "You guys are friends again anyway right?"

"Right.. Right, I'll ask him." I said with a thin disappointed smile, why couldn't she get the clue that I wanted her to answer it.

"Why don't you ask him right while I prepare something for you, alright!" She got up, walking towards.

"But." My question, I thought.

"I've gotten really good in cooking!" She screamed from the kitchen " you'd think Mr McDonald cooked your food and you'd be seriously licking those fingers of yours!" My mom said happily, I then hear pan falling.

Al..right..

I stood up from the sofa and walked towards the door. I wondered what James was doing but when I opened the door, I didn't want to know anymore

There was my ex enemy Bea, having a long kiss with him, while James had his arms around her waist, it wasn't like dumb kids making out, they look grown up, I just realized how much they've grown, I mean Bea chest was busting and that top obviously didn't fit her, and I just noticed James had a tattoo on his arm, one on his wrist like a bracelet and one a drawing of a girl In tears.

And there you have my half sister behind Bea pretending to be pulling off Bea's hair as she looks pissed as hell at the sight.

I slightly turn away due to pain that it caused in my chest but decided I didn't have to hide.

I turn back to them and cleared my truth.

"Hey!" I said happily and they broke off the kiss, James saw me and coughed uncomfortable turning away from me.

"Um.. Hey, do i know you?" Bea asked.

"Its Betty, I used to live here before?" I point at my house " Remember? James best friend?"

"Oh! No wonder you looked familiar, well what are you doing here?" Even if she said it with her fake ass lipsticked smile, the way she asked 'what I was doing here' pissed me off.

She had on a tiny pink skirt with a tight crop top, she was obviously not wearing bra, due to the fact that her nips were  shooting fire at me. Does this girl have no shame at all.

We stared at each other, well more like glared at each other but our eyes turned to the girls desperately forcing James to follow her.

"James come on! Let's go, we need to talk." Kathy begged pulling James arm.

"About what?" James asked pulling his arm back.

"About us! I need to know what we are!"

"Kathy, I already told_"

"And who the hell are you!" Bea interrupted James by grabbing Kathy's hand, removing her hand from James arm and bitchily throwing it away like her hand was garbage.

"I'm.." Kathy stutter as she looks at Bea up down, losing her confident for a while. "I should be asking you who you are?!" Kathy said confidently raising her chest to make it look bigger like Bea.

Bea coughs out a laugh before glaring at Kathy like a bitch.

"I'm his girlfriend b.itch, and who the fvck are you?"
