Chapter Title: The Diary Of Jane
"Maxie would flip shit if she knew I'd texted you…I didn't feel like dealing with all the questions. She's been staying over at Matt's for weeks at a time so I'm basically by myself all the fucking time." Lulu chuckled, sitting up straighter.
"Yeah, I bet. I guess things are getting serious then, Huh? I always thought it'd be me and you. I guess my dumbass kinda fucked that up." Johnny chuckled, surprised.
"Yeah, I'd say so. Johnny, you weren't completely to blame. After I was released from Shadybrooke, I wasn't myself. I tried to be…I really did. No matter what I did, I just couldn't get back to who I was before I had my breakdown. I felt like I wasn't there for you during the last half of our relationship…maybe we'd have been better off if we'd taken a break. I don't know. All I know is, our breakup was both of our faults…even if you did kiss Maxie." Lulu revealed, Johnny frowned as she slightly looked away-ashamed.
"Hey, look at me. It's okay…that's understandable. You went through a very traumatic event, you were never going to be the same after going through everything. I wish you'd told me…I would have given you as much space as you needed. Lu, you were-perfect. You're the best girlfriend I've ever had…you loved me. In the complete essence of the phrase. I should have come clean to you about Claudia being involved in Michael's shooting…I took the cowards way out." Johnny tilted her chin up so that she was forced to look at him, as he looked into her eyes he found himself leaning forward…their lips mere inches apart. Johnny wasn't the only one leaning forward, Lulu tilted her head to one side.
"Looks like we don't need wild rose to make decisions we might regret."
