I know that you love me

JULIA'S POV

I headed out of school after bumping and talking to Melanie. I decided not to ride the train this time and walk to my house.

During my way, I decided to text Melissa,
You still up for coffee?

I got a response after a couple of minutes,
Yes! Of course :)

I smiled slightly and continued walking home. I am so lucky to have someone to talk to and think good of.

Ken, he also makes me smile.

My brain was surrounded with Ken at that moment, everything that we have ever done flashed into my head, making me remember the old times, the times which made me truly happy.

I felt like crying while looking back at old moments so I forced myself to focus on something else, and that did the trick.

Since I was so into my thoughts, I didn't realize sooner that I arrived at my house. I climbed up the set of stairs and arrived at my apartment.

As soon as I got in, I removed my jacket and scarf and threw my keys and bag onto the sofa and I quickly went to the kitchen and opened the fridge to get a snack that I love, chocolate.

I ate it quickly as I went to change my clothes into more casual ones and I took with me a smaller handbag.

When I was ready, I head out to the station because the cafe was far from where I live and I rode in the first one that came to take me to the city center.

After a few moments I arrived and I went to the  cafe that was just around the corner and there I spotted Melissa just sitting there waiting for me.

She got up as she recognized me when I came closer to her and she started walking to me.

And soon we met in the middle and hugged and greeted each other.

"How are you, Melissa? I didn't see you the whole day!", I said, chuckling, walking back to the table.

"I finished today earlier than I thought that I would. And I wanted to go and tell you that I will be leaving but I couldn't find you and I was so tired after searching for you for twenty minutes and being pregnant didn't help, so I left", we both laughed, "Anyway, how has your day been?", she asked me.

"Besides this situation with Joy, it was good!", I sighed, "Ah! and Samantha was very angry today"

"Wait? What? I am confused. What's up with Joy and why was Samantha angry?", she said confused.

"I didn't tell you about Joy", I asked and received a No from Melissa.

"She caught me kissing Ken", I said not so loudly.

"Oh! My! God! You kissed! Ah!", she started screaming and half of the people in the cafe started looking at us.

I held her arm and told her to calm down.

"Well, not exactly, we were about to but then Joy came unanswered had to stop", I said.

"I don't think you should worry about that. Joy isn't a gossip kind of girl", Melissa said.

"Yeah, I just don't want some false rumors to spread", I said.

"Ok, and, um... what's up with Samantha?", she asked me.

"She is just annoying and always looking for problems. She shouted at Melanie for no reason!", I began telling my friend everything that happened from what Melanie had told me.

"What's her problem? And honestly I also have had enough of her. She annoys the shit out of me. She always comes to me in my lunch break and it's getting annoying but I am too afraid to tell her off so I hope that Melanie can teach her something", Melissa commented after hearing the story.

"Don't get very upset, it might hurt the baby", I warned her. "Oh, and about the little Persch, it's been 3 months, right? Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?"

"We won't be able to determine the baby's sex from now, Julia", she laughed, "But don't worry when I get the news, you'll be the first one to know", she said, smiling.

I laughed a bit but then frowned when Melissa asked me , "How about Ken? What are you going to do?"

"That's a hard question. I don't know. I still have feelings for him but I am afraid that he would leave me again and return to his old self. But I really do want him. And I am afraid of Brittney too. I am just really sick of fighting with her and not being able to talk to her civilly. And I don't rumors to spread, you know how much I hate rumors", she nodded, "So, I don't know, my heart wants something but my brain tells me otherwise", I sighed and rubbed my forehead.

"Julia, please forgive me, that's the first time that I don't have any ideas or anything to help you with", she sighed and held my hand, rubbing it softly.

"Do you know what's the worst thing is?", I asked.

She shook her head, "What?"

"I still am fucking in love with him"
