“What’s wrong? What are you doing here?” My arms open, and when I pull her into me, she sobs harder.

Her appearance and emotional greeting catch me by surprise. This isn’t her at all. My bright and usually happy friend isn’t here. My eyes dart to Seth who’s standing there looking as worried as I feel. Deep down, I secretly wish Janie didn’t show up. I know it’s selfish of me, but I could never turn down a friend. She was there for me when I needed her and now the roles have been reversed. But how did she find me? I hadn’t got around to giving her my new address yet.

“Janie, how did you know where I was?”

“Trent told me.” She hiccups after each word.

“What’s going on?” I beg her to tell me as I continue to hold her.

“I’ll turn the pot on for some coffee, shall I?” Seth enquires. I respond with a nod.

“Come on, come sit down.” I usher her to the couch, where we sit. “What’s happened, Janie?”

“I can’t talk about it right now. I just need a friend.” Her words are soft, the hiccupping has stopped, but her tears continue to slide down her rosy pink cheeks. I wonder what has happened, so many different scenarios are flashing through my head. Has someone close to her died? Did someone hurt her? Gosh, I wish she’d talk to me.

“You know you can trust me, right? Whatever has happened will never be spoken about outside this house.” There’s force behind my words because I want her to know I truly mean each word. I pull her tighter to me, wrapping her in my arms.

Seth brings in some steaming cups of coffee, handing them over. Janie notices him for the first time. I guess when I opened the door she was too distraught to notice him, but now she’s calmed down; her eyes widen slightly as she takes her cup.

“I can see why you don’t want to come back now.” She inhales a deep breath.

My cheeks blush. “Ah yeah, if you say so.”

Seth watches me and gives me one of his devilish grins that make my heart go crazy.

Turning back to Janie, I ask. “How are you feeling now?”

Janie nods. “Much better.”

“I’m glad. Is there anything you need?”

“No, not right now. Thanks though. I should tell you I’ve lost my job.” Her face scrunches up and it looks like she’s fighting back more tears.

“What? Why?” I asked, astonished at what she revealed. Why would she lose her job?

“I don’t want to discuss it.” Gah! She’s a hard head, one determined girl, and when she doesn’t want to talk about something she shuts down, and this is what she’s doing.

“Don’t think you’ll get away with it that easily,” I say back.

“The one thing I’ll tell you is that I met someone after you left, and we’ve been seeing each other, and things didn’t end so well.”

“Please tell me it wasn’t Chad?”

“What? Heck no!” I sag in relief. I know she wouldn’t, but I had to ask.
