You Never Know Where You're Going To End Up: Chapter 6

BACK IN MIAMI

Well we're back home and it's almost time for me to break the news to Janet. All the way back I kept practicing what I was going to say but no matter what I said I could always hear Janet's reaction which trust me was not good. I just hope that I am imagining the worst to prepare for the fireworks. But you never know maybe Janet will be happy to get rid of me. She's always talking about getting her own place and standing on her own two feet and not depending on everyone else all the time. This could be just the thing she needs and is looking for and this way she won't have to move. Woah wait I don't know who I am trying to convince here. Her or me?? But I guess all my questions will be answered in no time. I stepped out the car and walked round to the trunk as Sean was getting Thea out the back of the car. I got our bags from the trunk.

"Why don't you leave them with me?" Sean asked

"Well I'm going to wash them"

"You can wash them when you get to my place"

"Ok then" I said I put them back in the trunk and kissed Sean and me and Thea headed upstairs. I unlocked the door and Thea went running in screaming

"JANET"

Janet picked Thea up in her arms and kissed her.

"Baby, did you have fun??

"Yeah I was a princess"

"A princess? That's fantastic. Hey there's a surprise for you on your bed"

"Really?"

"Yeah go on go have a look"

Janet put Thea down and Thea went running into her room.

"Well?" asked Janet

"Well?" I teased "How did things go?"

"Thing? Oh you mean Sean?"

"Well what else would I mean? Come on spill"

"Well Sean was amazing."

"Amazing?"

"Amazing!!!"

"You slept with him didn't you?"

"Oh yes I did. And it was everything I had imagined in fact it was better."

"So you and him are ok?"

"Yeah everything's sorted"

"So you're fine now and you and Sean are in love?"

"Yeah it's all sorted and I wouldn't say we were in love but pretty close. I prefer say in lust"

"Oh God he must have been good"

I smiled like a teenager "He really was, it was so romantic"

"That's awesome it's nice to see you so happy" she said as she hugged me

Thea came running back in the room carrying a Barbie

"Look Mummy look"

"That's beautiful what do you say to Janet?"

"Thank you Janet" said Thea kissing her on the cheek

Thea ran back into her room to play with her Barbie

"It wasn't from me" said Janet

I looked at her with a puzzled look on my face

"The Barbie it wasn't from me it was from Justin and he sent you..."

Janet walked passed me into the kitchen and took out a gift from under the counter and passed it to me...

"He sent you this"

"Justin?"

"Yeah"

I opened the gift and read the note inside

Dear Cj

Sorry about what happened I was so pissed off that night I just needed to take my frustration out on somebody. I'm sorry it was you. Wrong place. wrong time and all that. You're the last person I'd want to hurt. You're my #1. I love you Cj. Please meet me Tuesday at 7pm at Illusions so I can make it up to you.

Love Justin

I put the lid back on and walked away

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing I just don't want to know anymore"

"What did the note say?"

"He's sorry and he wants to meet with me tonight to make up for everything"

"And what was the present?"

"A sleazy teddy. Jan come sit down"

She came and sat down besides me.

"There's something I need to tell you"

"What is it?"

"Me and Sean made a deal with each other. He'd date me if I didn't sell myself"

"Ok well that's understandable he's a classy guy"

"Yeah well to make sure that I don't he wants me with him at all times"

"That's sweet him wanting to spend time with you"

"Really?"

"Yeah"

"Thank God you think that because er...I'm moving out"

Janet stared at me and the smile on her face soon turned to a frown

"You're leaving me?"

"No don't say it like that. We're still going to be friends I'm just not going to be living with you"

"And what am I supposed to do?"

"You can keep the apartment I'm not going to throw you out on the streets"

"Well that's one thing but you and Thea are part of my life now"

"And we still will be it's just Sean wants me away from here and I want Thea away from here I don't want Thea going down the same path I did"

"You say that like it's a bad thing"

"We sell ourselves to horny old men it isn't good"

"That bad thing got you everything you own"

"I know but I don't want Thea thinking this is all she can achieve. Please don't be angry with me Jan"

"Angry? You're leaving me."

"You can get a new room mate"

"Like who?"

"Renee"

"It's still not going to be the same?"

"I know and I'm sorry but I need to do this. Why can't you be happy for me?"

"I am"

"Really?"

"Yeah I'm just going to miss you"

"I'm going to miss you too, but you are always welcome round to Seans and I'll come and visit you all the time. I promise you'll see more of me now I'm moving than you ever did before you'll get sick of me"

Janet smiled

"So when are you leaving?"

"Seans coming back for me later"

"You're leaving today?"

"Yeah, well like I said he wants me out of this place. You can have the apartment and everything that's in it so I only need to take my clothes with me. It won't take me long to pack them. It doesn't make sense me hanging around here when I can be out by tonight"

Janet hung her head and started biting her index finger which meant she was upset. I felt horrible this was my best friend and she was so sad.

"Hey Jan-"

Janet stood up and cut me off.

"Come on then"

"What?"

"I'll help you"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah"

"Ok thanks"

I stood up and me ad Janet walked into the bedroom to pack up my stuff.

Later that night

I'm stood waiting for Thea to bring her little shoulder bag in which she packed herself. I stood looking around thinking to myself about what I've had to do to get where I am with my own apartment, my baby girl and then I realised that I put so much into achieving this and I've made a gigantic leap in this last week and I haven't had to do anything and I don't know why but this makes me feel guilty. Janet brought my last bag in and put it down in front of the door. We both stood in silence and at this very moment I wish I could know what she was thinking. I wanted to know if she was happy for me or if she hated me. The doorbell went and I opened the door Sean walked in and kissed me on the cheek.

"Hey baby"

"Hi"

"Hello Janet"

"Hey"

"I'll take some of these down"

"Ok thanks"

I turned and looked at Janet she was looking straight at me I'd never seen her so unhappy before.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine"

"Janet I'm sorry about this I really am but I love Sean"

"Love him? You've only known him over a week and you're in love and moving in with him. It's ridiculous. It's like a god damn fairytale. And I'm sorry Cj but you ain't gonna live happily ever after."

Janet grabbed her jacket off the hook and stormed out I shouted after her.

"JAN, JAN COME BACK"

Thea came running into the room.

"I'm ready mummy"

I looked down the stairs after Janet and then back at Thea and I smiled.

"Good girl let's go then"

I picked up the remaining bags and we walked down the stairs. Sean met us half way and I handed some of the bags over to him.

"Where's Janet stormed off to?"

"She left she said she couldn't handle goodbyes she'll probably be heading to Illusions"

"This how it's going to be from now on?"

"What do you mean?"

"You lying to me all the time?"

"I'm not..."

"There you go again"

I put my head down and shook it. I could feel my eyes beginning to well up I looked up and stared at Sean and I felt a tear running down my cheek.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to but I didn't want you to feel guilty she stormed off because you're taking me away from her and she thinks she's going to lose me"

"But she's not"

"I know but she wouldn't listen"

"And you're just going to leave it like that you not even going to go after her?"

"I want to I really do"

"Then get in and I'll take you to her"

"Really?"

"Yeah I can look after Thea and you can get a taxi right?"

"Right ok then. I really need to talk to her and Renee I didn't have time to tell her I was leaving"

I got in the car and we drove to Illusions I kissed Sean and Thea leant over and gave me a kiss. I got out the car and waved to them while they drove off and then I went inside.
