Five
Do you ever wonder what it's like to lose not only your life, but your best friend in one night? Well... It sucks. A lot.
----------------------------------------
I hugged Vikk and thanked him before leaving the park and walking back to my place. I opened the door and immediately Autumn was on me, yelling at me. As a result, I glared her down. When I glare at people, it means I'm pretty pissed and you should probably back the fuck away. But Autumn did the opposite.
"You should give him a chance, Caitlin! He's not a bad guy!" She yells.
"Not a chance. He fucking left me! He left my mother to die and me to fend for myself! I was only seven and I had to act like a fucking adult!" I yell back.
"Just because he left you gives you no excuse to blame him for the fact that you couldn't make any money! You were just a useless child, and still are!" She says, and suddenly her eyes widen.
"I'm useless?" I spit out, venom lacing my voice. "I'm fucking useless? Look who's talking, hoe." I respond, getting very defensive and not showing her any weaknesses when in reality my whole world is collapsing. My heart hurts as my best friend is slowly drifting away from me.
"Well at least I wasn't the one to have sex with a guy who was cheating on her." She says, and immediately I stop, tears starting to form out of the corners of my eyes. "That's right, you slut."
We stare at each other for a few seconds before I run to my room, slamming the door behind me. I grab two suitcases and a backpack and stuff them to the brim with clothing, makeup, toiletries, photos, anything within my reach. Once I am done, I look around the room. Everything is bare.
I sigh, slipping the backpack over my shoulder and grabbing the two suitcases, then run out of my bedroom and the front door in record speed.
I run, ignoring all the confused glances my way, until I reach the only place I know to go. I ring the doorbell and JJ appears, confused. "Whaaat? I thought we were supposed to pick you up later?"
"JJ, let the poor girl in." Someone says, which I can only assume to be Vikk.
JJ steps aside and I walk inside, admiring their cute little home that I've only been to a few times.
"What's wrong?" Vikk asks, taking a suitcase and leaving it by the front door. I do the same. Vikk leads me into his living room and I notice JJ goes back upstairs.
"Autumn and I got into a major fight. She said some pretty bad things." I respond, sitting on the couch. "The only place I could think of coming to was here. Sorry."
"No worries; what are friends for? It also makes things a bit easier, to be honest." He replies.
"Thanks for understanding, Vikk."
"Yep." He responds. "We were just about to order pizza, you want any?"
"Sure, as long as it has cheese!" I agree.
"Caitlin, most pizzas have cheese." He facepalms.
"No toppings!" I say.
"No toppings! Did someone say no toppings?" Simon says, peering over the railing with his head upside down.
"Yes!" I respond.
"I'm watching you." Simon says, doing the universal 'I'm watching you' sign, to which I giggle.
"You guys are pretty cool."
"Oh, I know it!" JJ yells, jumping out of nowhere and landing on both Vikk and I.
"Fucking mental." Tobi's quiet voice says, while Vikk and I desperately attempt to get JJ off of us.
Simon leaps down the stairs, with his long limbs and all, and immediately falls into fits of laughter when noticing that Vikk and I are struggling.
"What's going on down there?" A cheerful voice calls, who I immediately recognize as Josh.
"JJ is being weird again!" Vikk yells back.
"Slowly dying!" I add.
"Come on Vikk, you got to have more strength than that! Caitlin is stronger than you!" JJ says, rolling off of the both of us as Simon, Tobi and I crack up and Vikk pouts.
"You'll get there, one day." Tobi says as the doorbell rings.
"Got it." Simon says, walking to the door. A few minutes later, he comes back with five boxes.
"Wow. You guys must love pizza." I say, watching as Simon sets it down in the kitchen.
"Well, what can we say? Pizza is bae." JJ says. "Hey, that rhymes." Vikk and I laugh as Tobi shakes his head.
"Pizza!" Simon yells and immediately the four of us run into the kitchen, followed by Josh.
----------------------------------------
"Alright, ready?" JJ asks, and I nod, hugging Vikk.
"Thank you for everything." I sincerely say, hugging him.
"Yeah, no problem. Stay in touch." He responds, and I nod, letting go and grabbing both suitcases, following JJ to his car.
We put the suitcases in the back and hop in as JJ starts the car, and after that we are off.
We arrive at the airport an hour or two later, and JJ helps me get my suitcases out and hands me the plane ticket.
"Thanks, JJ." I say as we stand around, waiting for departure.
"Yeah, it's no big deal." He pauses. "You seem like a really nice girl."
"Thanks." I respond. "You're not too bad yourself."
"What's that supposed to mean?" He asks.
"That you're nice." I giggle.
He smiles. "Keep in touch, alright?" He sloppily hugs me.
"Yeah, JJ." I reply, smiling.
Who knew that in only half a day a day, JJ and I would be close friends?
