Crys thought about everything the girl had just said before responding, "um, sorry but I'm not his girlfriend or anything. Also I don't believe he lives here anymore. I could try to get his address for you if you really need it though." Crys responded not too sure if she could help.
"Oh duh." Jess rolled her eyes at her own stupidity. "He probably moved. Damn." The memories of what had happened less than half an hour ago threatened to crash over Jess, and she felt her eyes well up and her throat closed up. She leaned against the doorway, needing something solid under her. She breathed trying to get her emotions under control. "Um. Okay. Thank you. So I should leave. Sorry if I woke you."
"Wait. For one you never woke me up. For two I would be a really bad person if I didn't let you in. You could vent if you need to. I have enough junk food to share if you need some." Crys said to her seeing how distraught this girl was. Then she hoped she didn't sound like she was making this girl stay.
Jess looked skeptical. She didn't know this girl, and this girl didn't know her. She was some random drunk girl who turned up at her apartment at midnight. "Seriously? Why?" Jess tended to be a bit blunt when she was drunk.
(May I stalk?)
"Well, I could tell you are quite upset about something, also you seem really drink and I don't want you to get hit by a car walking home." She replied know full well this girl was a stranger, and her friendliness could get her killed one day.
Jess blinked. "Okay . . . thanks." She smiled a small smile and stepped in the apartment. "What's your name, by the way?"
(May I stalk?)
(Totally!)
"Oh, it's Crystal. Call me crys though." She replied and allowed her inside "what is your name may I ask?"
"Jess." She followed Crys as they walked into the small apartment. "Just Jess. I don't do Jessie or Jessica. Just Jess. I appreciate you not wanting me to get hit by a car," she added quietly.
"You're welcome. So do you need to drown any sorrows in junk food?" She asked with a laugh and started walking to the living room.
Crys's small laugh sounded like sunshine and Jess allowed herself to get momentarily lost in it. "Oh I've got plenty of sorrows," she said with a sigh.
"Well sit down." Crys said and sat on the couch and showed off the large display of junk food sat on the table in front of the couch.
Jess raised her eyebrows, impressed. “Wow. You got quite the food here.” She giggled as she sat down. “Sorry. I’m kinda sorta wasted.”
"It's fine. And you could take some of the food." Crys replied with a warm smile. She made her outlook seen calm and collected. Though inside she had no idea of what she was doing at this point.
Jess reached down and grabbed a chip. She probably wouldn't have done that normally, but she didn't exactly have her wits about her at the moment. "Thanks." She felt pretty close to retreating into herself and not thinking about what had happened earlier. She knew this wasn't healthy, but she didn't care. But then again, Crys said she could vent if she needed to. Jess took a deep breath. "So . . . did you really mean it when you said I could vent?" she asked quietly.
"Yes of course I meant it when I said you could vent." Crys said and smiled at Jess then grabbed some chips and ate them. She didn't really mind this girl venting, after all she did run all the way here.
Jess took in a big breath and blew it out. "I recently got back together with my ex. We were together in high school, and she was awful and I finally broke it off senior year but . . . she transferred here this year, and she came to me begging me to take her back, saying she had changed, and shit." Jess turned to Crys very seriously. "Crys. Never trust an ex when they say they've changed. Trust me on this one." Oh shit. Now she was looking into her eyes. That's why Jess had been looking at the food. This girl was hot. She stared into her green, green eyes, transfixed.
Crys nodded, she wasn't noticing Jess's stare at her. Maybe because she was staring back every once in awhile she made full eye contact as she spoke. "Sounds rough. And probably not great to get back to her." Crys replied nodding more. She wasn't exactly what else to do.
"Yeah . . . " Jess murmured. She blinked and returned to the present conversation. "Yeah it wasn't, because she begged me to go to a party tonight, got me wasted on purpose, and then I caught her hooking up with a girl in another room. Like I wouldn't find out." Jess twisted the bottom of her shirt viciously. "She's too loud to not get caught, let's put it that way."
Crys nodded. "Maybe you could try to avoid her for awhile. I don't really know. But it sounds like you had an awful experience tonight." Crys said then looked down at the food on the table so she didn't look at the quiet pretty girl.
Jess nodded. "Yup. And then she had the audacity to try to get me to come back." She didn't notice the tears in her eyes until they were rolling down her face. Even then, she barely noticed them. "She probably would have come after me, but I'm way too fast and she knows it."
Crys nodded and turned around to grab the box of tissues she had on the table behind her. She handed her a tissue and remained quiet so she could talk.
"Micheal is the one who told me to break up with her. I didn't even tell him that we got back together. We were only together like a week anyway. I guess we've broken up again. God, I really hope she gets that and I don't have to explicitly say anything." Jess was slurring her words a little. She looked down at the tissue Crys had handed to her. "Thank you but what's that for?"
"You started crying… Um how about you get some sleep, you could stay here on the couch if you want." Crys said and stood up looking at her still.
