Brianna wasn't only harping on what went down with Conor and James the other day, she was harping on anything and everything. Today, she was considering calling into work sick, even though she was perfectly fine, but she figured that since Genny was also working today, she could talk to her about everything. She had been thinking about a lot lately and she needed to hear someone else's opinion.
It hit 12:30 PM and she decided to head over to the A&R department chairperson's office, and that's where she found Genny. She was at her desk, doing absolutely nothing.
"You should really move your stuff near here, or in here," Genny said as Brianna walked in. "I get so bored sometimes."
"I probably should, shouldn't I?" Brianna said. She pulled over a chair next to Genny and sat down next to her. "So, what's the deal with Effy right now?"
"Nothing really, actually," Genny replied. "We're just keeping a close eye on her. She hasn't really asked to go out, either, so there aren't any rules on that, yet. What about Conor?"
"Same. But you know, James took his car away from him, so we're stuck driving him around to where ever he needs to be." Brianna was a bit hesitant to continue. She still found it to be awkward after what they found out the other night. Genny, however, beat her to the subject. "Look, Bri, I'm sorry about the whole James thing…" Genny started.
"Don't be!" Brianna said, cutting Genny off. "You were drunk-ha, you were drunk." She laughed, remembering the drunk texts and phone calls she used to receive from Genny during that time. After receiving a glare from Genny, she collected her thoughts and got back on topic. "Okay, sorry. You don't even remember it. And… Okay, he had feelings for you, but that was forever ago and before I was even dating him. That's not what I wanted to talk about, though, Genny. I've been thinking about something a lot lately, and this just kind of pushed me to the edge."
"Well, what is it? I'm all ears."
"I've…" Brianna hated to admit it, but it was true. "I've been thinking. Maybe James and I should end it."
Genny turned her head sharply to Brianna. "Bri… What? If it's because of what he said the other night-"
"It's not because of that. I'm not sure yet," she said. "I don't know, all right? It's weird, I don't know how to explain it. It's not that I don't love him. I love him a lot."
Genny turned her computer chair so that she was facing one of her best friends. "Bri… You do whatever you think is necessary. You haven't spoken to him, have you?" Bri shook her head. "Well, talk to him first, all right? See what he has to say. You know I'm not a fan of divorces, but I'm here for you and support your decision 100%."
Bri replied with a smile. "Thanks Gen. Now, are you down to head out for lunch? I was in a rush this morning and didn't grab anything on the way out. You seem to be doing nothing, anyway."
"I am doing absolutely nothing, Bri. Do you see anything on my desk?"
"Chipotle it is."
Author's note: Sorry it's so much shorter than the other chapters! BRI PLEASE DON'T KILL ME.
