CHAPTER 23

Jason was officially accepted as her best friend by Liz. There was a moment in my life when I thought I would lose one of them to keep the other. She was getting comfortable with him like she was with me. I felt like I was getting ditched. Meanies.

Not truly, I was a spoilsport. Robbie was stealing all of my free time and I could not be happier. Finally, Jason and Liz had enough and dragged me to Starbucks, my treat. Good friends they were.

Jason was having fun. He was always fun to be around but he had lost that guarded look in his eyes. I knew he was sexually abused by an older woman when he was really young though he did not see it that way. He was barely fifteen when she... sigh.

I looped my arms through his neck. “What are the plans?”

“Starbucks, library, lunch, arcade. Oh, I want to go lingerie shopping.” Liz answered.

“Well, I am down for everything except last one.” Jason mock shivered.

“I agree.” I did not want to see a woman in lingerie.
