I feel Jess shove me gently as she wipes her cheeks furiously “Why are you crying? You don’t even know what happened” her voice is light now so I laugh and clean my own cheeks. It’s been ten years but it still hurt, that I had parents somewhere in this world that didn’t want me and left me for the worse. Maybe if my parents had not abandoned me then I wouldn’t be here struggling to take care of myself. I cry because of Jess, I cry because of the pathetic contract that I almost signed and lastly I cry because of this sticky situation I have found myself in. I never was able to control my tears especially when I saw other people cry, it was a weakness of mine. I can feel my tears drop on my shoulders which makes me shed a few of my own. She puts her head on my shoulder and clings onto me like her life depended on it. Jess breaks into a sob and I go over to her seat and throw my arms around her “Oh honey” I whisper as I rub her arm. “Come on tell me what is wrong with you, we’ll fix it together like always” My voice cracks at the end, this was so not what I expected. “Liv… I can’t…” she trails off, tears gathering in her eyes.
“Are you okay? You don’t look so good and I’ve been trying to reach you since forever” I say all at once, taking her hand in mine but she gently pulls it away which makes me even more worried. She raises her head but instead of the normal bright smile that is on her face there’s a certain sadness darkness. “Jess” I slide into the seat opposite hers. I can’t help the wide smile that makes its way onto my face, of cause I had someone I could always count on. When I step into the cafe there’s no one except Jess that is huddled in a corner. With that attitude of his it is no doubt that no one wants to settle down with him. I can’t even begin to imagine what becoming his wife would entail even if it was fake and just for a short period of time. I scoff, good luck was certainly on my side this time. I’ve never been happier receiving a text from Jess and it was at the perfect moment, just as I was about to seal a deal with the dickhead. I stop briefly to catch my breath before pushing the door open. I don’t stop running until I’m outside the cafe that Jess is at.
