"Yep, I never would of guessed it either, my own twin. And she had this smug little smile on her face when she told me too. I called him crying and he said he'd fallen for her. That was it."
"I can't believe this, you are not going home tonight, you can crash here." Brad said in disbelief.
"Thank you guys so much, I don't know what I'd do without you."
"Probably laugh a lot less." Randy joked and of course, she let out a laugh. ~*~*~*~*~
Jill Taylor walked through the side door of her home and almost instantly noticed the head of light brown hair resting on the arm of the couch. She slowly approached the TV area with caution, not knowing who or what it was. She let a large sigh of relief when she got close enough to see it was just her sons' friend Jocelyn. She was a little curious as to why she was asleep on their couch, so she made her way up stairs to Brad's room. She listened for a minute then lightly knocked. She heard some rustling behind the door, obviously he hadn't cleaned up like she'd told him too, the door swung open and her oldest son stood before her.
"Oh hey mom, I was just, uh, cleaning my room." He told her obviously lying.
"I'm sure." She said sarcastically and rolling her eyes. "Why is Jocelyn sleeping on the couch?" She asked.
"Oh, it's kind of a long story."
"So give me a brief summary." She instructed him flatly.
"Alright, her boyfriend Ed cheated on her with Delia." Brad informed her.
"Her twin sister?" Jill asked shocked.
"Yea, Randy and I told her to stay here, we knew she wouldn't want to go home."
"I can't believe it. Maybe I should go down and talk to her you know? I went through this kind of sister rivalry with my sisters, we fought over everything." Jill began rambling but Brad cut her off.
"Mom! Don't you think she's suffered enough? Besides, she doesn't want to talk about it, she's probably going home tomorrow." Brad explained.
"Okay, but maybe I could."
"No! No mom, she'll be okay." Brad stopped her before she got out of control. ~*~*~*~*~ Randy slowly walked up the stairs to the kitchen for about the tenth time that night, just to make sure Jo was alright. Every other time, she'd been lying the same way sound asleep. This time though she was sitting up and the TV was glowing on her face.
"Hey." He said softly standing next to the couch. She looked up at him for a moment before responding.
"Hey, did I wake you?"
"No, I was up, I just got thirsty." He lied.
"Oh, wanna join me? There's not much on, but ya know, I could always use the company." She invited him, and softly patted the cushion next to her. He smiled and took a seat.
"So are you feeling any better?" Randy asked after a few minutes of silent staring at infomercials.
"Yea, I've been up for a while and I've been thinking a lot. I figure, they deserve each other you know? I realized like a month ago that I didn't really feel the same way about him. I think that's about the same time they got together." Jocelyn felt great to say what she'd been thinking all night.
"Well, I'm glad you see that, I never really liked him, he didn't deserve you at all." Randy commented.
"Really?" She asked unsure if he was just saying that.
"Of course. Jo, you are to sweet and caring for that jerk, I'm glad you're moving on."
"I don't know about moving on, but I'm accepting it, and actually, I'm not that mad at them, it happened and I can't change that."
"Well still." Randy laughed lightly. Suddenly he was glad she was single. He always had some feelings for her, but she'd been with Ed for so long, now he had a chance, but there was no way he would take it. He'd never do anything to hurt Lauren, he loved her now. After about another hour, they both conked out on the couched under the blanket on the back of the couch.
