Summary: Jane finds out Jake's cheating on her with Dirk and does the most reasonable thing, cut off all contacts with her friends and sob her eyes out :(
Your name is Jane Crocker and you were happy.
Emphasis on were.
You thought you were happy, but really it was all just a really bad lie that you, a gumshoe should have detected.
It felt like a really bad joke.
Everything was going great, you were dating Jake, passing your SATs like no one's business, and your bakery funds were looking pretty good.
But the fact that Dirk and Jake were dating behind your back ruined everything.
Ok, well one thing, but it had affected the others quite a bit!
You clutch the ice cream bucket in front of you, sobbing messily as you eat more of this delicious, fattening comfort food.
But you will have to admit though, they are persistent right now. You glance at your phone, dully ringing and vibrating from the calls and messages of your friends.
Roxy was probably either a) shouting at both Dirk and Jake, b) calling you and asking if you were okay, or c) making her way towards your house right now. Scratch that, she's probably doing all three simultaneously.
Dirk was probably trying to talk to you through Li'l Seb, who was scratching the door. You felt really guilty about Li'l Seb though, and you were sorely tempted to let him in and just rock him gently like a baby. (But you didn't want to touch anything Dirk made right now so... You decide you'll apologize to Li'l Seb later but not right now)
As much of a jerk/dick wad Jake was, you were pretty sure he was beating himself up (quite literally and mentally) and calling you and messaging you, but not making his way to your house because he's ashamed. You knew him well, after all, you were his ex-girlfriend.
Golly, that thought felt like a knife to your heart.
You're not really sure on what to feel anymore, and you just want to be alone and single, preferably forever. (Okay that was an exaggeration but still!).
"Jaaaaaaaannneeeeyy!" You hear someone shout, "Are you okay?!" Roxy shrieked. You sniffle a bit before responding.
"No!" You respond, and you hear the shuffling of feet come up the stairs, a curse and then a thud. Then quietness.
"'M okay!" She slurs after a minute. Li'l Seb's scratching stopped, and you guess he went over to help Roxy up. The handle on your door soon started to rattle, and you sigh. Rubbing your eyes dry, you went over to the door and open it.
Roxy stood in front of you, holding Li'l Seb in her arms. Her blonde curls slightly ruffled from a fall.
"Awh, come here Janey baby. Don't worry about those stupid boys." She murmurs and you notice you were shaking uncontrollably. Roxy set Li'l Seb down, and opens her arms for you to collapse in.
"I-I don't know what I did wrong! Was I not a good enough girlfriend, or was Dirk really just better than what I can ever offer?" You sob, and she strokes your hair comfortably.
"There there, Janey. Nothing's wrong with you, and I'll gladly beat up any jerks who doesn't think that." She says and you sob harder.
"Jake doesn't seem to think that...!" You say, grasping Roxy's shirt hard. Tears were really flowing down freely on your cheek, wetting her shirt, which you feel bad about, but you could care less right about now.
"Shhh, Jane, Jake'll receive a beating from me later, but right now, how about we stop thinking about boys huh?"
Mutely, you nod. Roxy grips your hand, and leads you inside of your room. You notice through your tear ridden eyes Li'l Seb following you. Slowly, you let your free hand hold his metal arms, feeling bad about ignoring him, despite the fact Dirk was probably there somewhere, looking through Li'l Seb's eyes. Both of you sit on your bed, while Li'l Seb stayed on the floor.
While you sobbed pathetically, Roxy coaxes you and whispers good things, while Li'l Seb was hugging your leg.
Inwardly, you smile on how nice your other half of friends are, granted one of them is a robot rabbit built by a guy you hate momentarily.
