“There’s the girl of the hour!” Krista walked toward the car as Bethany got out, a smile lifting her mouth at the sight of her best friend.

“Has it only been a couple of weeks? Feels like for-fucking-ever.” Bethany wrapped her arms around the other girl and sank into the hug.

“Can’t text or call nobody? Too busy being important?” Krista moved back and tugged at a strand of Bethany’s long hair.

“You too, butt-nugget.” She winked and walked toward the apartment. She would be staying with Krista most days of the week, some at Kent’s place and hopefully some in the arms of her handsome stepbrother. Bethany reached over and ran her hand down the back of Krista’s hair.

“You totally got some low-lights put in your hair.”

Krista opened the apartment and moved back. “I did. I just felt like it was too blond. With it being so short and gold everyone kept calling me Tinker Bell.”

Bethany laughed and let her eyes scan the living room before sinking down into the old beat up green couch she had come to love.

“Tinker Bell is beautiful.”

“And thin. I’m not.” Krista grabbed a handful of her stomach and shook it. Bethany rolled her eyes.

“Where’s Jake?”

“He’ll be here soon. He had to meet with the new professor he’s going to be TA’ing for.”

“You guys still together?” Bethany asked, wishing like hell she would have kept in better contact with her friend. Why had she let her new life completely suffocate her old one? Didn’t seem right.

“Um… no. We didn’t really get together. He was confused I guess.” Krista shrugged, her smile sliding to a frown.

Bethany patted the seat next to her on the couch. “What do you mean? I thought you guys just decided after graduation that you liked each other.”

“I’ve always liked Jake, but I knew the two of you had something going on, so I backed off.” She shrugged before sitting down and kicking her feet up. “He thought he wanted to give things a try too, but he just up and changed his mind last week.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know. He didn’t explain it.”

“Are you upset?” Bethany reached over and ran her fingers along her friend’s arm.

“Yes and no.”

“Explain.”

“I wanted something to happen between us, but it was so weird. He’s been one of my best friends for four years.” She leaned back and closed her eyes. “I’m good with us just being friends. It’s better that way. Every time I think about us making out I keep wondering if he’s wishing I’m you.”

“What? He wasn’t interested in me, Kris… I tried, remember?”

“Yeah, but I think he was just overwhelmed or shocked. He’s asked about you like every day since you left.”

There was a slight twinge of bitterness in her voice. The hint of it stung, but there wasn’t anything Bethany could say to make things better. Jake had completely rejected her the night of the graduation party. Hell, she had stripped naked and walked toward her bedroom, beckoning him to come with her.

Damon would have taken her in the hall before she could make it to the privacy of the room.
