I knew I had to tell Janey the truth. But would she ever want to speak to me again. I didn't know what to do. I really wanted to call Stacey, to get her advice but she had so much on her plate now, I mean with her baby's daddy getting married to her worst enemy. That must be stressful. "Baby?" I thought. "Oh God what if I'm pregnant" "We where safe though. I remember that much, but I wish I could forget it all. I NEEDED to talk to someone. I couldn't talk to my mom. She refuses to believe I'm a lesbian. She still thinks it's a "Phase" I'm going through. I could always call my sister. Yup that's what I'd do. Janine and me may not always get along, but she HAS always been there for me. She helped me come out to mom and dad, and even let me stay with her when stuff got really bad at home.
The phone rang three times before someone picked it up.
"Hello?"
It was Byran, Janine's Boyfriend.
"Hi Byran", I answered "this is Claudia. Is Janine there"?
"Yup, hold on"
"Hello, Claudia, how are you?" she chirped.
My sister. Always so prim and proper.
"Fine thank you and how might Queen Janine be"
"Oh I'm peachy." She laughed. "So what's up?"
"Neen, I gotta problem. I really need to talk to somebody, are you busy."
"Not at the moment, what's wrong Claudia"?
So I told my sister the whole story.
"That's what happens when you drink and don't think" She scolded me.
"I know Neen, I'm a terrible person"
"No, what you did was wrong, but YOU'RE a great person, if you weren't you wouldn't feel so bad about it."
"So are you going to tell her?" She asked. "I have to "I said. I can't keep something like this from Janey. I love her"
"Claud, if you guys are meant to be together, you will be." She said gently. "Tell her what you told me."Were you safe?" She asked. I could picture Janine raising her eyebrows in my mind in a typical Queen Janine fashion. "Yeah, I was drunk not stupid." I answered. "Ok, just checking, don't bite my head off Claudia.
"Sorry."
"Hey Janine?"
"What?"
"Thanks for talking to me. I really needed to tell someone."
"Sure that's what I'm here for."
After I said goodbye to Janine I took a deep breath and dialed Janey's number.
"Hi Claud, what's up?" She answered.
"Janey, we have to talk. Meet me at the rosebud café."
