You Again (Completed) ✔️

26.

I am woken by the door opening to my hotel room.

There's only one person that should be able to come into the room and she's not with me. I left her with my brother because I thought she deserves to be happy.

Looking up I see the bedroom door open and Veronica walks in. She climbs onto the bed next to me. "What are you doing here, Veronica?"

A smile spreads across her face. "Did you really think I'd leave best friend alone in a hotel?" She shakes her head. "No, I wouldn't. I came here to be with you. Meeting your brother is a bonus."

Pulling my phone off the nightstand I say. "Last night I got a message about a job at a local school and I'm going to go for an interview for the position."

She hugs me. "That's great. I also got a job here. My boss from New York wants me to manage the office located here. I don't have to leave your brother and you. But, I do have to go back to New York to break the lease and then move my stuff here."

"Let's look for a place together?" I say.

"Okay," She looks at me. "Something that affordable with our pay checks."

"I'll look for that while you take care of everything in New York for us. When are you leaving?"

"I still have a week and half off with my visit with you. So, after that I'll return home and deal with everything. The boss is giving me a relocation payment as well. He thinks I'm worth the move."

I laugh. "Of course you are." Looking out the window I say. "Did something happen after I left?"

"Yeah," She looks everywhere, but at me. "Your brothers and Cole spoke to your mother about you leaving the house."

I frown. "Okay, what was said that you left the house?"

"She said 'Good riddance.' After that you're brothers walked out of the room and started packing their bags. They're staying at Cole's place. They don't want to go back until she fixes things with you."

"I don't see that happening anytime soon. She's changed since I've been back. She used to be a loving woman. Now, she's mean and pushing me to tell her things."

"Before I left the house I heard Cole say something about your Mom being sick. He's worried about her."

"Of course he is. She's his adoptive Mom now." I look at the time and see its 10:30. "I have to call the school to set up and interview time." I climb out of bed and walk into the living room. I type the number into my phone and call Kylie.

The phone rings a couple of time before she picks up.

Kylie: Hello, this is Kylie.

Me: Hey, Kylie. Its Julia Harris I'm calling you about the job you emailed me about.

Kylie: Great, can you come in tomorrow for the interview? I need someone to start on Monday.

Me: I'll be there. What time?

Kylie: 9am. I'll show you around the school and to your classroom once we've finished the interview.

Me: Thanks, Kylie. I'll see you tomorrow.

Kylie: Bye.

Me: Bye.

I hang up the phone and turn towards my best friend who's leaning against the wall with her arms folded. "Do you want to come shopping?"

"Yes, I was hoping you would say that, Julia." She grabs her purse that's sitting on the table. "How are we going to get there since we don't have a car?"
