Best of Friends

The sun still had a few more hours of life to it. Jules checked her phone and found a text rather than a missed call waiting for her. Maybe Daniel really was learning. It read:

Let’s work out

She didn’t have anything else to do until nightfall. Working out also brought with it several advantages. For starters, Jules figured a sweat might kill the vamp blood hangover that was still working its way through her body. Plus, her head was swimming with the abundance of new information that she had gathered over the past few days. Maybe taking a little downtime to process it would be the best thing for her.

On top of that, she could patch things up with Daniel. Even though he could be overprotective at times, he was still her best friend. She thought things tended to work best for them when he acted like her friend, not her bodyguard. Or worse: her parent. Either way, they had both been acting a little weird towards each other and it would be great to get things back to normal. At least, as normal as they could be, considering how their lives were anything but that. She texted him back:

Your place? Come pick me up.

After about five seconds, Daniel texted her back.

See you in a few

Jules had to book it back to her place before he got there. She’d tell him about her trip to the Den, but later. He would hassle her about it for sure. Daniel was nothing if not consistent. He always showed up on time, no matter what. He always texted her back as soon as possible. And, he was always guaranteed to give her advice whether she asked for it or not. Usually, she didn’t ask for it. That was just part of who he was- maybe it was the biggest downside to keeping guy friends instead of girls. Sure, she avoided the drama that was often accompanied by a group of girls. On the other hand, it meant a whole lot of trying to fix the problem when she just wanted to talk about what the problem actually was.

Sooner or later she would get another car. Just as soon as she figured out how to get somebody to pay her for all the work she’d put in to become a hunter. Daniel always told her the pay was terrible. Although at this point, terrible was better than nonexistent. Jules never really liked driving much anyways, so she sold her wheels to cover the bills while she figured something else out. That’s future Jules’ problem, she liked to tell herself.

There were definitely downsides to not owning a car in LA. It had its perks, too. No traffic, for one. It was definitely a hassle to get to the beach, but she mostly stayed out of the sun these days anyways. There were plenty of grocery stores within walking distance. For everything else, she had Uber and Daniel.

Jules made it back to her place and the parking spot was still empty.
