People just ain't meant to be around
Forever."

I rested in my bed happily, savouring in the feeling that today is Sunday at last, my eyes fixed on my laptop as the 7th episode of Teen Wolf plays on it. Yeah, today is Sunday so Joe is coming over. I am actually really excited to have her here, I've never brought anyone home except Amelia and I have started to trust Joe. She has a really awesome personality but sometimes I get a feeling she's hiding something from me. Well, everyone has secrets.

Just as I am thinking this, the doorbell rings and Joe's face appears on the small camera screen on my wall.

"Hello? I am Joe, Camilla's friend," she says waving awkwardly to the camera.

I giggle and rush down to open the door for her. As I reach near the door, I see Jules has already welcomed her in.

Joe sees me and glares, "What the fuck, Miss? You didn't tell me you were this rich! I thought I came to the wrong neighbourhood!"

"Language," Jules scolds.

"Sorry," Joe mumbles.

I slide over beside Joe and give her a sheepish smile and gesture towards Jules, "Joe this is Jules. Jules, Joe."

Joe extends a hand towards the stout lady but Jules being my dear Jules pulls her in a bear hug instead.

I grin, already knowing Jules would have done that.

"Any friend of my Camilla is my friend too," she gushes.

"Thank you, miss," Joe smiles at Jules, almost wistfully.

"Oh, off with the formalities, call me Jules dear."

"Of course, Jules, I think I already love you," Joe states.

"Well, I have that effect on everyone," she smirks.

Oh-oh that cocky lady! She is smirking! Tell you what, she still has it in her.

Joe just laughs and I decide to speak up.

"Well, well  Jules, you seem yo have bonded pretty quickly with my friend here, now are you wishing to let her go to spend time with me or are you gonna snatch her away from me?" I joke.

Jules just laughs, "No, I have quite a handful of work left in the kitchen, you both go up and enjoy."

I take hold of Joe's wrist and drag her upstairs, while she is still busy gawking at everything there is. Busy staring, she accidentally stumbles on one step but I quickly catch hold of her.

"Well, Joe I am your life saver now, you could have died if you would have fallen from this staircase," I inform her.

"I actually think you are, " she says shuddering,"that gave me quite a scare. You miss mentioned a house, not a freakin mansion!"

"Yeah, I didn't want to scare you away," I say opening the door to my room.

"No Cam, y-" she suddenly stops speaking, I turn around to see her jaw hanging open upon the sight of my room.

"Wow, Cam, this is... Wow" she says, marvelling at the posters and then moving towards the massive bookshelf.

"Thank you, I really love books and the color teal, as you would have guessed by now," I say to her walking over to stand beside her.

"You've read this?" she asks, pulling out a nook from the shelf.

I peer at the cover "Turtles All the Way Down".
