It's Complicated

"I thought you didn't want to talk to me anymore." my voice was barely a whisper.

"Rach I'm so sorry I shouldn't have said those things this morning and I feel so bad about everything. I know I must've hurt you but it hurt me to say those things. I was fighting back my tears as I was saying those things to you. God I'm such a horrible friend."

"No Layla I should've payed more attention to your feelings. I honestly thought you hated him."

Layla laughed lightly through her tears, "You couldn't be more wrong. I know it was wrong of me to lay all of that on you while you where dating the guy I should've told you before evrything. Maybe if I was honest with my feelings we wouldn't be in this situation."

"Yea. So are we good?"

"Of course we're good goof now let me in and tell me all about dream boy."

I smiled at her as I moved out of the way to let her in. "I'm in the kitchen cooking dinner right now."

"What? You cooking that's a surprise."

"Oh shut up I cook when I have to."

"Why are you cooking dinner anyway?"

"Kim is coming into town tomorrow and my dad is upstairs getting her room ready."

"Really Kim is coming down? I've missed her so much, remeber that time when she scared those boys away that were talking about us?"

"Yea that was one of the many times she has saved me. Matter of fact she is saving me just by coming down here."

"Really how so?"

"I was supposed to go to my mom's this week but since Kim is coming down I get to stay."

"Oh well your luck is high isn't it. How is your mom doing anyway I haven't seen her in for ever."

"I guess fine not like she spends time with me anyway. Ever since she got a son he takes up all of her time it's like me and kim don't even matter to her anyway."

"Have you tried talking to her about it?"

"I don't see a reason to it's not like she would listen to me."

"It's always worth a try right?"

"Not with my mom it's not. Can you believe that she actually thinks I'm not mad about her new family and that beautiful house up in the hamptons. She doesn't even pick me up from te airport I have to call a cab to pick me up."

"Really?"

"Yea I guess she is to busy with her new job to pick me up."

"I'm sure she still cares she is just busy moms' are like that sometimes."

"Yea whatever thanks for trying to remind me of what my mom use to be instead of what she i now." I shake my head at the thought. "Anyway are you staying for dinner I'm sure my dad would love to know you and me are back on good terms."

"Yea I would but I have to go finish my article and have you seen the messages in the newspaper inbox on the website?"

"Yea and about the article on Ace and Jared I won't be able to finish it this week but it will be ready by Monday."

"Yea I know I read the messages and it was a great way to get the reads up I'm in love with your brain."

"Thanks I finished Ace's part I just need Jared's."

"With all the time you have spent with him I would think you finished his and not Ace's."

"Yea Ace was more of an open book Jared was harder to get to talk."
