One of many fights
“ I just wish I could be pretty for once” Jen sighed out looking into the mirror.
“Oh Jen! You’re so pretty! I wish you would see that” Judy said sweetly sitting on the side of Jens bed. Jen had a big potential sale this afternoon and Judy couldn’t stop admiring the way Jen knew just what top to go with what heel. “How does she do that? I just grab a dress and any old shoes and hope for the best!” Judy thought. “Really Jen, I don’t know how you don’t see it”
Jen could only scoff. “You could never understand these people Judy. Looks are EVERYTHIG when selling and I’m not just talking about the house. The better you look the better they think THEY will look in the new house. No one wants a washed up widow, they want the hot 20 year old. Everyone is not rainbows and Unicorns like you think.”
That’s when Judy lost it.
“Are you fucking kidding me Jen? Really? Look at yourself, you’re so fucking BEAUTIFUL! You know how Jealous I am of you? You got Killer legs, clear skin, eyes like the ocean! Fuck Jen, some days you come downstairs and I don’t know if I want to BE you or DO you!” Judy felt so upset that Jen never found herself beautiful. “heh, but what do I know right? If life has taught me anything it’s my opinion never fucking matters anyways. HA-HA-HA there goes Judy who has no idea how the fucking world works” Judy said holding back tears as she stormed out of the room.
Jen just stood in awe, not knowing what to do.
Judy ran down the stairs, grabbed her coat and key and hit the road. She didn’t know where she was headed but she needed to just get away. Tears rolling down her cheeks she couldn’t stop herself from crying. She pulls over because she cant even see where she is going. “FUCK! Why are you fucking like this Judy?! Why can you just shut up and not overreact for fucking once!” Judy wasn’t sure what got her so mad about Jen thinking herself as ugly. Was it because Jen belittled her so easily? She trusted Jen more than anyone, and knowing Jen thinks she’s so naive really hit a nerve. How can she love someone who doesn’t take her seriously? What kind of best friend does that??
“Oh Fuck” Judy said aloud. What am I going to do? She thought. She sat and just breathed. A/C on max letting the cold cool her temper.
Just then her phone rang.
Jen.
She didn’t know weather to answer it or not.
She answered it.
“Judy IM SO SORRY, PLEASE come HOME!”
Judy was taken aback, it sounded like Jen was actually crying.
“Judy?? Are you there?? Fuck Judy please talk to me, please come home!”
“Yeah, I’m h-here” Judy said quietly
“please come home Judy”
A few moments passed.
“I’ll be home in a but, I have some errands to run” Judy said
“O-Okay” Jen said
Then Judy hung up. She had a lot to think about. Home. Was it really her home though? She laid her head on the steering wheel and let out a big sigh.
