The Notorious Story Of Jupiter Rory

Chapter Thirty-Nine

"reckless emotions, nothing seems to make it any better."

I sat there across from her, holding my cup of coffee in my hands. Feeling my chest tighten, because it was hard to put it all into words.

"So, you and Noah were fake dating? And he's the mystery guy you married in Vegas?" She drawls out slowly.

"But somewhere in all of that, you fell in love with him and he loves you too?" She added on.

I chewed my bottom lip, because when she put it like that I sounded absolutely insane. But then again, I was.

I lost my mind when I met Noah Ashbury and I accepted it, he wasn't someone I ever wanted to give up.

"It's complicated I know, I'm sorry I lied to you. I've just been so stuck in my head." I mumbled, bringing my coffee cup up to my lips.

Sipping back the bitter liquid, chewing the inside of my cheek nervously, "But I do love him, I can't deny that so we're going to give it a shot." I whispered.

Feeling my face burn in embarrassment because I've never felt so vulnerable, but when I came to Noah my walls came crashing down.

He managed to get into my life; somehow making me fall for him without really realizing it.

He was a distraction I never knew I needed.

"I'm glad he makes you happy, that's what you need in your life, just some happiness." She says, reaching across the table.

She grabs my hand in hers, giving it a few soft squeezes before pulling away, "You know, it's cheesy but I can truly say that I've seen you change so many times." She drawls out.

"After everything you've been though, I'm happy to see someone can make you feel loved because that's what you deserve alright Jupe?" She added on.

I smiled, feeling my heart race in my chest because she's been by my side through so much crazy shit, and she still wanted to be my best friend.

After seeing me hit rock bottom so many times, she still stuck around. She still had hope that I'd change my ways.

It took awhile but I think I'm finally there.

"Love you Dakota." I replied, smiling over at her.

She was my best friend, always has been and always will be. I trusted her with everything, and I knew she felt the same about me.

We worked well together, we were both messed up but together we were great.

"I know I'm not always around anymore, but it doesn't mean I don't care. Your still my best friend," She says, finishing her tea.

I grinned, sipping the rest of my coffee. We chatted for a bit longer before finally heading out.

She was going to meet up with Shiloh while I'll probably walk the long way home.

Enjoying the peace and quiet from the rest of the world.

After convincing Dakota that I didn't need a ride home; I waved her goodbye before watching her drive off.
