Girl Behind The Red Door Confessions
Chapter 8
-How many moments in life could you look back to and think "That's when it all changed.
"Are you okay.?" Sawyer asks. Putting her hand on Juliet's. The two now sitting on the couch watching a movie they had seen plenty of times and was a go to when they needed a laugh and an escape. Juliet took a breath then looked over at Sawyer.
"No I'm not I'm 17, a junior in high school, I should be stressing over the game on Friday, thinking about what to wear to the after party, and then trying to figure out how much sleep I'll need to enjoy the rest of the weekend." "I can't have a baby my life is barely makes sense these days." "My dad is falling apart, my mom is gone, and Matt and I have only been together a year not exactly the time in our lives to think about forever." "I don't want him to feel responsible for me sticking around because he doesn't want to look bad." "Next year is supposed to be the best year of our lives." "Now I don't want to think that far ahead." Juliet said.
"I could go to the doctors with you if you want." "And we could use one of my fake note's so no one suspects anything." Sawyer said. Looking back at her.
"You shouldn't have to put your life on hold just because mine is a mess right now." Juliet said in response.
"Jules you're my best friend. Pretty much my sister." "I'm here because I want to be and know that whichever choice you make I'll be by your side." "So you think about my offer and in the meantime I'll go refill the snacks." "You tell me if I miss our favorite scene." Sawyer said. As she got up.
"I don't know what I would do without you." Juliet said. Getting up as she leaned over and hugged Sawyer tightly.
"You will never have to find that out." Sawyer said as they pulled apart minutes later.
Sometime later Sawyer came back with bowls full of snacks. As she looked at Juliet who had gotten up and put on her coat.
"I'm going to tell Matt the news but you won't be alone for long." "I love you and I will call you and tell you how it went." Sawyer had put down the snacks on the coffee table and hugged her quickly.
"You take care of yourself and mini Scott." Sawyer said as the two girls eventually pulled apart.
Hearing at knock at the door. Juliet turned to Sawyer and spoke. "There is my cue." "You tell me how everything goes." Juliet said.
"Who's coming over.?" Sawyer said.
"You'll see." Juliet said. As she opened the door.
"Jamie." Sawyer said softly. Turning to Juliet.
"Have a nice talk you two." Juliet said. Waving goodbye to them. As she headed towards the driveway and into her car that was parked in the street.
"Why are you here.?" Sawyer asked. Feeling way more vulnerable than she had expected. Jamie looked up at her. Noticing the way her faced changed when she saw him.
"I got a text from Juliet it was an SOS." "So I rushed over to see what she wanted from the looks of it she wanted to give us some time alone." "Which is so like her I shouldn't be surprised." Jamie said smiling.
"Come in." Sawyer said. Taking a breath. Closing the door behind him slowly.
Jamie looked around the room. Noticing the variety of change that had taken place in the living room. Realizing he didn't remember the last time he had been over here. And for that he felt bad.
"I'm your excited about the game coming up and the after party." "Those are always full of crazy memories." Sawyer said. Taking a seat across from him on the opposite chair.
"Is that really all you wanted to talk about.?" Jamie asked. Looking towards her.
"No it isn't I'm trying to be supportive and be that friend for you that you need me to be but it's hard." "To act like there was never anything more between us is a lot for me to do seeing you with Madison is." Sawyer paused. The emotions she was experiencing made it hard for her to keep talking.
"I never wanted or expected things to turn out like they did." "But that's in the past and I'm sorry if I did hurt you." "You are important to me." "And everything that happened between us is unforgettable to me."
Jamie said. Putting his hand on hers.
"I get it Jamie you just want to be friends." Sawyer said. Louder than expected.
"Actually Madison doesn't want me to be friends with you anymore." "She feels weird and threatened by our history." Jamie said.
"Oh." Sawyer said. Trying to hide the hurt on her face.
"Okay I wouldn't want to get in the way of your relationship so we can just pretend like this conversation never happened and I'll see you around I guess." Sawyer said.
"I'm trying to do the right thing this time around." Jamie said to her as he got up and headed towards the door.
"I know you are Jamie." "Goodbye." Sawyer said. As she watched him leave. Get into his car and drive away.
Sawyer closing the door behind him.
She then walked up the stairs to her room. Closing the door behind her. Taking a seat at her computer desk. Turning on her laptop. Then her webcam. Staring into the camera as she started to speak.
"It was Albert Camus who said "Blessed are the hearts that can bend. They shall never be broken." But I wonder... If there's no breaking, then there's no healing. And if there's no healing, then there is no learning. And if there's no learning, then there's no struggle. But the struggle is a part of life, so must all hearts be broken?" "I would love to know your thoughts on that quote. Sharing some of your experiences." Sawyer said. Wiping her eyes.
…
"Luke it's really nice seeing you." Lindsay said. Hugging him as they sat down. "I've been really busy lately I heard about the 4-year anniversary." "I wanted to extend my apologies." "I know how much you cared for her." Lindsay said.
Lucas turned to her. "She is everything to me." "It has been unbearable these past few years." "If it wasn't for our daughter I don't know how I would get up every day." Lucas confessed. Emotion thick in his voice.
"I'm sure she would want you to continue living a fulfilled life with someone who loves you and makes you happy." Lindsay said. Putting her hand on his.
…
"Thanks Mr. Mcfadden." "I appreciate you letting Matt come out with me I know it's late." Juliet said. Looking up at him.
"It's fine Juliet I remember those days everything is so important and the people you care about are your entire world." Mouth said.
"I'll be home soon dad." Matt said. Looking to his father as he went out the door.
Mouth closed the door behind him. And looked up as he heard his wife's voice. "Martha is fast asleep." "Matt just left." "What shall we do with all this interrupted time." Mellie said. Smiling at him.
"That depends clothes on or off.?" "We should test out our new hot tub." "In the backyard." Mouth said.
"Marvin it's cold out there I'm going to freeze." Mellie said. Leaning over as she kissed him.
"Don't worry I'll make sure that is the farthest thing from your mind."
Mouth said. Taking her hand in his.
As the couple headed outside.
…
"Matt I have some really huge important life changing news to tell you." Juliet said. Looking to him.
"Can I go first.?" "I've going over what to say to you in my head for days and now that you're here It can't wait." Matt said.
"What is it.?" Juliet asked.
"I'm breaking up with you." Matt said to her.
"You can't I don't understand." Juliet said to him.
"Senior year next year and then college we're never going to see each other." "I love you but we both know it won't last so why prolong it and just set each other free now before either of us gets to attached." Matt said to her.
"Your right we wouldn't want that would we." Juliet said to him.
"It's really late we should be getting home."
"I'll drive you back." Matt said to her.
"It's alright I could use the fresh air." "Clear my head." "Goodnight Matt."
Juliet said to him. Looking into his eyes.
"Goodnight Jules." Matt said quietly.
She watched as he got into his car and drove home.
"I'm having our baby." Juliet said. Quietly. Wiping her eyes. As she walked along the beach.
"Oh, my god Juliet Scott is pregnant." The voice said softly. Turning to their friends. We should spread the word." The person said. Smiling as they got out their phones.
