Chapter Ninteen

JOYCE

There was a beautiful sunset over the island when I left the Jefferson’s home today, but I had little to be happy about.

I’ve been dragging my feet ever since my last encounter with Jane, almost a week ago. Not even Logan has been able to comfort me enough to make me come to terms with the fact that our friendship is pretty much over.

I make my way towards Long Island on automatic.

Mom has been feeling better and will go home for hospice care soon. Gabby will switch to the night shift at the store. That way, mom spends less time alone, and Sophia will have to brave through and help until I can get home and take over.

When I get to mom’s room, mom, Gabby, and Sophia have their eyes peeled on the TV.

“Is that a new soap opera?” I ask, going to mom give her a hug.

“Shush!” Sophia says.

“Sophia!” Mom scolds, “Manners!”

Gabby covers her grin with a hand over her mouth, then taps the arm of the tough chair so I can sit and talk to her.

“How’s it going with dating the billionaire, Joyce?” she asks, locking her arm around mine.

I look her straight in the eye and, leaning my head on her shoulder, sigh, “same as yesterday, you gossiper!”

Sophia just points a finger at Gabby and laughs.

“Stop disrespecting your elders,” Mom turns a stern eye to Sophia.

As they watch the show, I stay in my chair and wilt in place, unaware that one of the pairs of eyes in that room is focused on me.

“What’s wrong, Joy?” Mom asks, her voice going down a few notches.

I just shake my head, but I want to cry.

“Nothing,” I say, barely disguising the tears. “I’m just tired.”

“Never seen someone get so tired they’d cry,” Sophia says, doubting me.

And with that, I crumble down in distress of my recently lost friendship.

“Jane is still not talking to me,” I say, doing my best to stay composed, but failing miserably.

Gabby touches my arm, “Way to lose a best friend, huh?”

My heart wrenches even more, and I frown. I don’t want to bother them with my problems, but since I can’t take this to Logan, they’re the only ones I can turn to.

“I don’t know what to do,” I shrug. “Being with Logan is one wonderful moment after another, but then I remember his only family is shunning him because of me and things get weird. And oh! Despite everything, I miss Jane so much!”

“That Jane is crazy,” Sophia says. “If I had a creep brother dating a girl like J, I’d be happy!”

Sophia ends up putting a smile on my face with her words. It’s nice to know you’re appreciated and supported. But it is also a reminder that I ruined the relationship of two siblings.

“I guess it’s time for you to decide, Joyce,” Gabby puts her hand over mine. “Who do you need the most in your life? Jane or Logan?”

I sigh, lost in thought. “I am not sure what to say.
