Tables Turned

“I can't believe the way you spoke to my mom Savannah.” Lynn said to me with complete disbelief on her face. I studied her features one last time before I decided to answer her.

“In all honesty Lynn, you're mom deserved it. She can't speak to you like that so what gives her the right to speak to me and Vic like that?” I asked. “None at all. I won't sit by and watch her treat you like shit.” I shook my head.

“I'm not your issue though. Why are you taking me on like this?” Lynn looked broken when she said those words.

“You're pretty much my best friend now Lynn.” I felt my cheeks flush red. “I know it sounds so lame because we only met like 2 months ago but I don't think I've clicked as quickly with anyone else as I did with you. I think that means something.” I shrugged effortlessly.

Her eyes began to well up with tears. “Thank you so much Sav. You're my best friend too.” She said pulling me into a hug. I felt like she was crushing my insides but let it slide under the circumstances.

“So what now?” Vic spoke up as we got into Lynn's car.

“I don't know. I'll probably just move in with Alex and Brian.” Lynn sniffled a bit. My stomach dropped at the idea of that. I didn't wanna lose the best friend I'd made in San Diego so suddenly, or at all for that matter.

“NO!” I shouted rather dramatically. Both Lynn and Vic looked at me with complete and utter bewilderment. “I mean you can't just give up on school like that Lynn.”

“My parents will probably cut me off and I can't afford to pay my last two years of tuition.” She shrugged. We all slipped into the car and she started the ignition.

“But they've already paid for this year so why not just finish off this year and deal with that issue later.” I suggested. She thought for a second and nodded.

“You're right Savannah, I'm stupid for thinking of dropping out now.” She laughed. She began to drive back towards her friend's house. I kept glancing over to her and could see how much she was holding back a major breakdown.

I've never been good at dealing with other peoples breakdowns. I don't know what it is about me but I seem to be incapable of understanding other peoples emotions without really trying. I guess I suck at being a friend.

My phone began ringing which is kinda weird because I completely forgot I even had it. I pulled it out of my pocket and looked at the caller ID. My friend Alyssa's name flashed up on the screen. I hesitated on pressing accept, since everything that happened with Jake she didn't even call me back when I told her and she never came to see me but I gave in and answered anyway. “Hello?”

There was no voice on the receiver though, which I found to be completely weird. There was some muffled moans and then I heard a laugh. “Jake stop, my mom will hear us.” Alyssa's voice became much clearer. My stomach hit the ground and I felt sick.

“Babe it's okay.” Jake's voice came into my ears. Everything hit me like a ton of bricks, every single damn second of it all.

“You're on my phone.” Alyssa said softly. “Oh shit...” She mumbled. “Savannah?” She asked.

“Hey best friend, what you doing there?” I asked slyly.

“Savannah it's not what you think okay, we just always connected.” Alyssa said quietly, a hint of guilt in her voice.

“Save it. You're just as bad as him.” I spat down the phone. There was some shuffling and then suddenly Jake took the phone.

“Look Savannah, I know you're still broken up over what happened between us but I've moved on, in fact I moved on before you even left the state so please, it's time to get over me.” Jake said smugly to me.

I couldn't help but laugh, not only because it was suddenly clear as day that he was fucking my best friend the whole time that we were together but now because he thinks I'm still pining over him. “I can't help but feel like you're trying to compensate for something that isn't even there so I'm gonna lay it down for you pretty fucking clearly here. I moved on pretty quickly too. Not as quickly as you did but there's a difference between me and you. I'm a person with feelings but you're just a useless piece of shit that thinks with his dick 24/7, which isn't exactly that impressive by the way. In fact, I actually know that now because I have in fact moved on, if you know what I mean. Goodbye Jake, goodluck with whatever STD you have this week.” I said calmly and hung up the phone before his peewee brain could even muster up a comeback.

By this point both Lynn and Vic were staring at me, mouth agape and confusion written all over their faces. “What was that all about?” Vic asked me, leaning forward in his seat. I looked at him and bit my lip a little.

“Jake was cheating on me with my supposed best friend the whole time I was with him and for some reason he thinks I still have feelings for him. So I put him in his place.” I shrugged nonchalantly. Vic smirked a little because he heard my comment to Jake loud at clear. Despite the fact we have yet to actually have sex or do anything sexual at all, I still know that Vic is doing better than Jake in the dick department. The day I walked in on Vic naked after a shower will never leave my memory for the rest of my life, and now I didn't really want it to.

“You really got him good girl.” Lynn grinned as we pulled up into Alex and Brian's house. She got out the car first and the kinda sprinted into the house. I hung back to speak to Vic though.

“Do you still have feelings for him Savannah?” Vic asked softly as we both leaned against Lynn's car. I looked up at him and smiled, it was kind of adorable that he was even worried about that kinda shit.

“No, not even slightly.” I smiled at him. He did as sigh of relief.

“Thank God, I know that it's kinda lame to be feeling like this since we've only really been together for like a couple of days but I kinda really fucking like you. In fact I am in you know what with you but I'm scared that I'll scare you off back to Oregon or something. I don't want that at all.” He rambled on.
“Vic, I don't know what love really is but I think I'm kinda getting there a lot quicker than I thought was possible with you given how I practically hated you at the beginning. But I kinda feel like I could be there soon if not already.” I told him. His eyes lit up like Times Square.

“You're perfect in every single way.” He muttered, pushing a stray strand of my hair behind my ear. I felt my cheeks blush from embarrassment.

“Not as perfect as you.” I laughed, it was way too cheesy.

“We're so not gonna be one of those couples are we?” Vic chuckled, dropping his head.

“I think we are Vic, I think we are.” I smirked, feeling extremely happy for the first time that day. Despite running for a plane, getting drunk on it and having Lynn's mom speak to us like shit; this has been the best few moments. Just realising how much Vic was taking over my heart and soul, and how quickly he was doing so. It kinda bummed me out a little but at the same time I was more than ready for it all.
