Margo only had to touch Yennessa's door knob to be transported back home. Upon her return it was back to spots in her eyes from the transport light.
"Amy!" Margo called out in blind desperation. She heard what she assumed was the creaking of Amy's door.
"Oh, hey! You're back. So, how was it?"
"Mind helping me out first," Margo waved a hand in front of her eyes to remind Amy of her temporary handicap.
"I can try," out of the purview of Margo's recovering vision Amy began making the same hand gestures Yennessa had made hours earlier only it took her several more seconds. By the time Margo's vision recovered from Amy's help she'd already regained half her sight.
"Much appreciated," since childhood Margo had developed a habit of thanking Amy for any magical assist at the request of Amy's mom, it was meant to help reassure Amy of her own staggered abilities. From Margo's perspective it was well earned considering she couldn't cast her own spells.
"No problem."
The girls each took a seat on their living room couch, "Anyways, we mostly just talked about stuff that you probably don't want to hear about," it suddenly occurred to Margo that Amy would definitely not want to hear about this. "So, what did you end up doing?"
"I met up with Jake," Amy looked to the side, "I thought it would get my mind off the whole stupid Cyrus date but Jake reminded me of something," Amy's face shifted to slack disappointment, "Also apparently he knew about the date," Amy place a hand be hind her head, "I don't think he knew about how it ended though. I mean this morning."
"Well that's not really surprising. Cyrus probably just mentioned it to him in a text, I mean for a long time I use to think of the two of them as the version of us with dicks."
Amy couldn't help but give a laugh at the simple crudeness of Margo's comment, "What do you mean?"
"That's just kind of always how I thought about those two since we met them in high school. They're a pair of childhood best friends that met because of their parents and they were even roommates during college. That's all though," Margo shrugged.
"Well, anyways everything was going lovely up until the point that Jake brought up Cyrus and he mentioned something that I realized I can't ignore," Amy let out a sigh that told Margo how exhausted she was of things to come.
"And what's that?"
"That he is Jake's best friend and apparently," Amy paused, "still your side guy," Margo took note of how Amy stumbled those last two words with just a hint of what could be jealousy, "And I guess I still consider him a friend which means I can't avoid him for the rest of my life," Amy placed the tips of her fingers on her temple, "or even for very long I suspect."
"That really never occurred to you?"
"It did to you?"
"Well duh! I thought it should be someone I at least trust. That said it's not like I know another candidate," Margo chuckled almost with villainess intent, "I guess no matter what you're going to have to deal with the fall out of," she paused and shrugged, "whatever you choose to do. Which I say you should still ask him."
Amy rubbed the bridge of her nose, "Why'd I ever let you talk me into this?"
"You're making a big deal out of nothing I bet. Just say you're sorry. Oh! And then ask him about putting on the cage."
"Margo," Amy looked at her roommate with a straight stare, "I can't even right now. I just want to stop thinking about all this." Amy got up and started walking back to her bedroom. "Night!"
"Stop worrying about it," she lifted from the couch, stretching limbs that have rested on couches more than enough for one day, "I'll just tell you how hurt he was after my date with him tomorrow."
Amy stopped dead in her tracks, "That's right. So, I guess he's getting two dates in one weekend. Good for him."
"Do you have a problem with that," Margo was beginning to suspect there may have been more to their date but if Amy really cared about Cyrus that much, she figured she'd say something given the chance.
"I mean, it's his life," Amy couldn't look back at her roommate.
What the hell kind of emotional situation is this? "
He can do what makes him happy," as soon has those words left her mouth she wondered if she sounded petty.
