"That's a sexy face"

"Wha.. How?" Leigh looked around shocked "Y/n said the same thing"

"I bet.. But I bet they said it in a more, Different way like" Jules laughed and lowered her voice to sound more charismatic "That.. is a sexy face" She chuckled and Leigh looked up at me while I watched everything unfold "I'm starting to think...

"Jules.." Leigh interrupted then pointed at me

"So your a ninja now? Nice to know" Jules nodded then walked around the kitchen to get some fruit for breakfast

"Okay you may continue Leigh" I waved my hand and she nodded. Immediately making the "Sexy face" again as she joked about something in her grief group "Nothing is impossible, The word itself says I'm possible.. I know this Nicholas Sparks widow group keeps sending me inspirational quotes that make me wanna BURN THE WORLD DOWN"

"How's that different from normal you?" Jules laughed while peeling a orange

"I'm serious. She put on the most spectacular show, She had this little tear hanging on her perfect eyelash for the entire hour and everyone was obsessed with her." Leigh rolled her eyes as she leaned against the island in the middle of the kitchen and changing the subject to one person

"Sounds like she's got it figured out" Jules replied to Leigh

"Like she's got what figured out?" Leigh furrowed her eyebrows and tilt her head

"How to make tragedy GLAMOROUS" I laughed finishing Jules sentence

"Exactly Y/n.. Like Jackie O." Jules added while Leigh was still confused

"Jules.. Y/n, Normal people don't envy tragedy" Leigh glared at the both of us

"I was just finishing her sentence" I shrugged, Trying to dodge the attack Leigh sent me

"Whatever.." Jules chuckled "Of course they do, For the rest of your life, You're deep, It's like you touched the edge, I mean, Obviously, I don't think like that, But people milk their stories for a reason, You should come to a meeting you'll see, We're good at sharing, I tell the best stories.. I have this one about how I partied so hard I puked on Questlove. always kills"

"You shouldn't be proud of that" Leigh shook her head as Amy bursted into the back door almost hitting me "Leigh, Would you please call your father so that he stops bothering me? Texting doesn't count"

"I don't want to call him or anyone" Leigh rolled her eyes and started putting away the things Amy brought into the house

"She's got an perfect excuse" I said. Making Amy flinch

"Feel like I get at least six months"

"I'd say more" I yelled agreeing with Leigh

"Oh you two" Amy sighed "One call. Ten minutes"

"If dad wanted to have a better relationship with me, He could've been nicer to Matt when he was alive" Leigh shrugged and turned back to the fridge "Actually add Y/n to that list also.. He was sure an asshole to Y/n and I won't even bring all of it up"

"Your father loved Matt" Amy retaliates just the one, Knowing how ignorant Leigh's dad was to me at one point

Leigh scoffed then looked at her mom "Okay, I'm sorry, were you not at my wedding when he came up to me 20 minutes before the ceremony to let me know that it was okay if I were having second thoughts?"

"He would've done that with anyone that's what dads do" Amy said back in his defense

"I once thought that for awhile until I was reminded how embarrassed I felt" I shrugged and Leigh nodded, Agreeing with me.
