You were already used to spending nights at Jackie's house, especially when she fought with Jeff and needed your best friend to comfort her. You kept telling yourself that you weren't being used as an 'anti-Jeff' because you believed your best friend would never do that to you... right?

A lie when told several times becomes a truth. And that's why you were now in Jackie's room letting her braid your hair while you vented about what an idiot her boyfriend was and how she wanted someone to listen to her.

“I need someone to love me better, you know? Someone who listens to me… who opens the car door for me, who doesn’t trade me for a cheap beer to watch his friend’s stupid game on Valentine’s Day…”

A small hiss of pain escaped your lips as she pulled your hair a little harder, fingers firm on your head as she continued talking and talking some more.

You really wish Shauna was here right now, at least then you wouldn't go through this torture alone

“I need someone determined” Jackie murmured and finished braiding her hair, her voice dropping an octave “someone who will always be with me… someone like you”

She wanted someone like you?
