In Love With My Best Friend

CHAPTER TWELVE: UNEXPECTED

I woke up in Saints bed and remembered everything that happened last night: me and him argued over whether or not he was a cruel, stone cold, heart breaker.

Then I cheered him up by making him laugh and I fell asleep on his bed while he was in his chair.

I decided to go downstairs and make some eggs but when I got down there Saints mom had already made some.

Saints Pov:

I wake up and Julia is not here. I faintly remember falling asleep in this uncomfortable, ugly, red chair that me and Julia have always hated but has been too nostalgic to get rid of.

She must have gone back to her room to sleep or something. I check the time and it's 1:03. I sigh and walk downstairs praying that my mom is already at the hospital (his mom is a doctor) and not in the kitchen, or the living room, or anywhere I would run into her.

As I step down the last step of the stairs I open my eyes and see to my right that she indeed is in the kitchen. Julia is eating some of the eggs and bacon she made and when she spots me she kinda shrinks down in her chair.

My mom has her back to me standing in front of Jules babbling about how this patient is always telling her to give her a lollipop every hour when she's 42.

She sees Julia shrink down and looks behind her at me. I just go into the fridge and crab a banana then sit down on the island in the middle of our kitchen next to Julia.

It is silent as me and Julia eat and my mom just starts packing away the leftover eggs and bacon. You could cut the tension in this room with a knife. Just as I think it couldn't get any worse someone knocks on the door. I am about to use it as my escape when Julia uses it as hers.

When she gets up and walks past me she whispers in my ear "talk to your mom. You'll thank me later also I'm leaving cuz this sh*t is awkward as heck!"

I'm left alone in the room with my mom.

Julia's Pov:

I open the door and I see a middle-aged man and Mia standing right there at the door. I am about to shut the door in their face when Mia pushes through the door and the middle-aged man follows after her.

Hey I haven't written a author-message or whatever you want to call these in a while so I just want to clear up a few things: Saint calls Julia Jules sometimes because that's her nickname. Also Saints mom is a doctor and Julia's mom is a pilot. They aren't going to school right now because it's summer and they are basically in the house all the time because *social distancing* Saints mom got pregnant off of a one-night-stand. The father didn't want anything to do with the baby and Julia's dad died when her mom was four months pregnant. Julia's mom and Saints mom bonded over being pregnant-single-parents. They are best friends and bought a house together to help raise their children together since they both work a lot.
