"Has he said anything to you?" I asked Jessica
It was the morning after my breakup with Zach and I had called Jessica crying. Like the amazing best friend she is, she immediately came over and let me cry to her. Now we were just hanging out in my room watching random shows on the tv and only speaking when I spoke first.
"Have you heard from him?" I quietly asked her
"Um, no" Jessica turned to look at me "He spent the night at Alex's and Mont was over there too, from what I know he only said that you guys broke up and then he stayed quiet" She added
I nodded
"Wait, where's Jeff in all of this?" I asked her when I realized she didn't mention him
"Jeffy is here" A voice that I knew all too well yelled from downstairs
"You called Jeff?" I questioned Jess
"I had to!" She answered "It's Jeffy and I know you wanted to be alone but you need your best friends by your side more than anything right now. All of them" She told me
Jeff came racing upstairs into my room
"I'm highly offended that I had to hear from Jessica about everything that happened but all is good because I'm here now" Was the first thing he said
I couldn't help but smile a little bit
"Ah, there's that smile" Jess cheesed as she pinched one of my cheeks
I rolled my eyes as she wrapped her arms around my shoulders
I hugged her back
Jeff didn't miss the chance to join in
"As much as I hate to worry about him and as much as I hate him, have you heard from Justin?" I asked them
Both of them sat up abruptly
"You shouldn't-" Jess started
"Mama, you should kn-" Jeff said over her
"Look, I know that I shouldn't use the word hate, my dad already gave me a speech about it, but I can't think of any other words to describe how I feel towards him" I told them "I hate Justin. I hate him for everything he did and I know that I said his feelings are valid and they are but I hate him so so so much for ruining everything and taking away the best thing ever from me. I hate him." I went off
Jessica and Jeff exchanges looks over my head
"What?" I looked at them, confusingly
That's when I heard footsteps walking down the stairs
I got up and walked out of my room to go the railing and that's when I saw him at the front door, struggling to put his shoes on
"Jus!" I called out to him
He quickly glanced up at me before walking out my front door
"Great" I sighed as I turned around and saw my friends at my doorway with uneasy looks on their faces
"I'm sorry, I should have told you the second I walked in" Jeff spoke gently
"He really wanted to see you and apologise" Jessica added
"And now I just ruined another thing in my life, this just keeps getting better and better" I shook my head and walked past them, back into my room
"You didn't ruin anything" Jess told me as she followed me into my room
"You have every right to feel the way you do towards him" Jeff agreed as he was right behind Jess
I laid down on my bed and buried myself in the pillows
"Is now a good time to pull out Baby Driver?" I heard Jeff ask
I slowly lifted my head and saw him pulling out the dvd from his bag
"Hmm, maybe you should put that away Jeff" Jessica spoke "There's no use of playing it if only two out of the three people in this room will watch it" She added
I quickly sat up as soon as she was done saying her sentence
"Put that shit on and let's cuddle please" I told them
They both laughed and Jeff got up to put the movie on while Jess practically jumped on me

"Wait no, don't get up yet" I told Jeff as he started moving to stop the movie

The three of us have been laying in my bed all day watching movies that Jeff brought with him.
Right now I was comfortable with my head on Jessica's leg with Jeff behind me with his arm around me as he had his head on Jess' lap, Jess playing with our hair at random times

"We kinda need to start getting ready for the party" Jeff told me
I turned around and looked at my two friends
"I am not going to a party" I said
"Oh but you are" Jess contradicted
"And why would I?" I questioned
"Because your favorite person in the whole entire world is in charge of doing the beer run" Jeff answered as he poked my nose
"Why are you doing the beer run? You never do that. Also what does you having to get alcohol have anything to do with me going anywhere outside of my bedroom?" I asked him
"A junior that's on the baseball team is throwing the party so he asked me to get to booze since you obviously need someone that doesn't look seven to get it" Jeff answered my first question
"Also you need to come along since you can't leave me alone to drink with the boys and Mont and Alex wanna see you" Jess answered my second question in a duh voice
I looked at them as I thought
"I'll come but I want to be back home by midnight, I'm not getting drunk and I'm not taking care of any one that's drunk, and a part of me is only going to see my friends" I finally said
"Yay" They both cheered
