Jamie knocked on the door and Emily answered. Emily was expecting her. For the third time in six months, Jamie was breaking up with her boyfriend of several years, Aaron, and she needed a place to stay. Emily invited her upstairs to the living room, where James was watching television on the recliner. Jamie and Emily sat on the couch.
Knowing the situation, James offered both of them a drink. Both accepted, and James poured them strong rum and cokes. He gave them their drinks and returned to his recliner where he too was drinking a beer.
The trio allowed a moment of silence to soak in the situation and allow everyone to drink. Finally, Jamie broke the silence.
"I really appreciate you guys taking me in. I can't believe Aaron. He's such an asshole."
"It's no trouble at all," Emily replied. "You're always welcome. James is going to sleep on the couch and you and I will share the bed."
Jamie was humbled.
"Thanks you guys."
For the next two hours, they drank and watched a movie, "The Break Up" coincidentally, and talked about everything but Jamie's situation. But Jamie was becoming uneasy and wondering if she made the right decision.
Jamie and Aaron had been dating off and on since they were juniors in high school. They lost their virginity together, and it appeared to be the typical high school sweetheart story until Aaron went to college out of state. It was there where Aaron would first cheat on Jamie, and he would do so a handful of times afterwards. Aaron would always explain that it was due to curiosity, or that the girl was a different type, and each time Jamie would take him back. But this time was final. They had decided to move in together, and Aaron promised his curiosities were over. This was the straw that broke the camels back.
The thing was, Jamie had only been with one other man for the entirety of her and Aaron's relationship. It was after he had cheated on her for the third time. She went out to a bar and found a man completely different from Aaron. He was a muscular black man who enjoyed cocaine and partying. Jamie "dated" him for three weeks, and found a fetish for snorting cocaine of his large cock and blowing him afterwards, sucking him clean for both the taste of his cum and the drug. But Jamie wasn't a party girl, and she noticed she was losing weight off a body that was already thin. She went back to Aaron shortly afterwards.
As the movie finished, Jamie, now a little drunk, sighed aloud and looked to Emily. Emily knew the look and returned a fierce scowl. Jamie huffed and took a long chug of her drink. "I need to go back home," Jamie announced. "I need to go back and work this out."
