When I woke up I thought I would surprise Kevin and make him breakfast. Only to have Sophie tell me he had left when she got up.
The only thing that sucked more than Kevin leaving before I got the chance to actually talk to him was Sophie giving me the third degree, constantly asking me what happened last night. She refused to believe that Kevin and I went to bed in two separate rooms.
Thankfully the phone rang saving me from Sophie and her twenty questions.
"Hello?"
"Jane, I need to talk to you. Can you come over to the diner?" Jenny asked. I could hear the urgency in her voice.
"Jenny what happened? What's wrong?" I asked worried.
"I slept with Tommy."
That was all she had to say. "I'll be right over." I said hanging up the phone. I grabbed my jacket and told Sophie where I was going, so she wouldn't worry.
"Just try not to get into another fight." Sophie called as I hurried out of the apartment and to the diner.
Jenny placed my breakfast on the counter in front of me: scrambled eggs, bacon and toast, or as I liked to call it the breakfast of champions.
'Now that I have my food, tell me everything.' I said as I shoved a piece of bacon in my mouth. I had made Jenny wait to tell me what happened until I had my breakfast in front of me. I couldn't give advice on an empty tank.
"Tommy came over here as I was opening the diner and it just happened." She said looking sad.
"Jenny what's with the sad face, usually after sex people aren't so glum." I told her smiling. I was so happy her and Tommy finally happened. It was so obvious to everyone that they were meant to be together, well to everyone except them.
"After, I told him that I couldn't be with him." She said avoiding my gaze.
'You What?!" I nearly shouted.
"Geez Jane, keep it down." She warned me, I was vaguely aware of the other costumers looking at us. But they were the farthest thing from my mind.
"I don't understand Jen, why can't you and Tommy be together?" I asked thoroughly confused.
"Do you not remember what we were cleaning last night?" She asked me. "That came from somebody; I just can't be with someone who would hurt someone like that." She explained.
"Jenny you know deep down Tommy is a good person. I know you do. You just have to trust that whatever happened he didn't have a choice." I said holding her hand.
I sighed unlike me Jenny couldn't handle what Tommy and Kevin did. I knew that they had to do what they did, I think Jenny did to. But last night made it seem so much more real than just hearing about it. We were cleaning up someone's actual blood. It may not have been the blood of the exact person Tommy killed but for Jenny it might as well been.
"Maybe in time I might be able to be with him, but not now." Jenny whispered to me. With that she got up and took care of her other costumers.
I ate the rest of my breakfast in silence. I knew that Jenny was done talking and just wanted to be left alone with her thoughts. I just hoped she realized that she and Tommy are meant to be together before it's too late.
I heard someone pounding on my door shouting my name.
"Coming!" I called from the kitchen.
"Hello?" I opened the door to the bartender from the Fire Cracker. He looked so familiar but I still couldn't place him.
"Come on let's go." He said smiling at me.
"Um sorry do I know you?" I asked closing the door slightly in case he was a rapist or something.
"You don't remember me? Janey, it's me Joey!" He said pointing to himself.
"Sorry, I don't think I know you." I said closing the door. I forgot how many weirdo's there were in this city.
A couple minutes later I heard someone pounding on my door again. I groaned, some people don't know when to give up. "Look I said I don't know you, go away!" I shouted from behind me door.
"God damn it Jane open the door!" I heard Kevin shout.
"Kevin?"
"Jane open the damn door." He demanded
I opened the door slightly and stuck my head out. "What's up?" I asked.
"I didn't want you to be mad that I left this morning, not after what happened." Kevin said quietly. I was vaguely aware that he was standing in front of someone.
"I'm not mad. Why do I feel like that's not the only reason you're here?" I asked stepping out into the hall.
Kevin smiled, "It's not, how much money do you have with you right now?"
Normally if someone else I hadn't seen in a couple years asked me this I would wonder what was wrong with them but since it was Kevin I wasn't bothered by it.
"Um a couple hundred, why what do you need it for?" He started to say something but I interrupted him. "Kevin I swear if this is for your gambling debt you can forget it, you need to learn not to bet more then you have!"
"It's not for me it's for Jimmy."
"Jimmy? What does Jimmy need money for?" I asked suspiciously.
"Jimmy got arrested I need to bail him out." Kevin explained I knew that Kevin would do whatever it took to get Jimmy out.
"Alright you can wait in the living room while I get the money." I said as he walked past me into the apartment. Once he was in the apartment I realized the creep from before was standing behind Kevin.
"What the hell are you still doing here?" I asked him immediately slamming the door in his face. "If you don't leave me alone I swear to god I will call the cops on your ass!" I threatened.
"Jane come on, let me in!"
"I don't know how you know my name but just please leave me alone!" I shouted at him. This was getting completely ridiculous, who would have ever thought I would actually have my very own stalker.
"Jane what are you doing?" Kevin asked standing behind me.
"I'm trying to get this psychopath to leave me alone." I explained loud enough for the guy outside to hear me.
"Kev, make her let me in!" The creep shouted.
"Wait you know this weirdo?" I asked Kevin eyeing him.
"Yeah, so do you that's Joey." When he saw the blank expression on my face he said "Joey Ice Cream, from when we were kids."
"Whoa, that's Joey Ice Cream?" I asked Kevin nodded. Joey looked like nothing from what I remembered.
"Why didn't he just say so?" I asked as I let him in. Joey just looked at me like I was crazy. Which I thought was a bit dramatic, so I didn't recognize the kid, sue me.
"Wait here and don't touch anything." I said the last part mostly for Joey, if I remembered correctly him and Kevin got into a lot of trouble when they were together. I'm guessing they still do.
As I was in my room rummaging in my bottom drawer for my emergency cash I could hear Kevin's and Joey's conversation.
"So what happened last night?" I heard Joey ask. I silently cursed Joey for being so nosey. It had actually gotten him beat up quite a few times, but the kid never learned.
"What are you talking about?" Kevin replied trying to act confused.
"I heard your guys talking 'I didn't want you to be mad, not after what happened last night'." Joey said trying to mimic Kevin's voice and doing it horribly.
"Joey I was apologizing for crashing on her couch. Nothing would ever happen between me and Jane, she's like my little sister, it'd be disgusting."
Without thinking I slammed my dresser drawer and stood up from where I was kneeling.
I walked back into the living room empty handed. "Sorry, looks like I don't have any money on me after all. I guess Sophie took it." I lied shooting daggers at the two of them.
"Oh, well were would still be short even if you had money with you." Kevin said turning to leave.
I silently ushered Joey and Kevin out of my apartment, I wanted them gone as quickly as possible. Once Joey was gone Kevin stopped just outside my door and looked at me.
"What?" I asked harshly.
"Me and Joey are probably going to spend most of the day trying to get money, doesn't sound very fun but do you want to come?"
"Oh no, I wouldn't want to burden you with my disgusting presence." I said slamming the door in his face.
I heard Kevin curse from the other side of the door. "Jane, I'm sorry. You weren't supposed to hear that."
I opened the door to an upset looking Kevin. "Oh so it's okay being with me as long as no one else knows. Right cause I'm way to disgusting to be with, you wouldn't want people to think we were actually together, no that might ruin your perfect image Kevin."
"Jane that's not what I meant ple-"
"Kevin just go do whatever you were going to do, I don't want any part of it." I said closing the door on him once again.
"Please can we just talk about this?" Kevin asked knocking on my door.
"Just leave Kevin."
