Omniscient
Braelyn waited at a table at The Loft Steakhouse , she was meeting Lauren for lunch. There had been some tension between the two since they came back from Cabo.
However , since Braelyn was a new mother she really hadn't noticed . She was busy making bottles , changing diapers and getting her house together. Come to think of it she hadn't even really talked to her little sister. Kaiden hadn't really been posting on Instagram. She made mental note to call her when she left lunch .
Lauren walked in , Brae stood to hug her . As they embraced , Brae got the feeling Lauren didn't really want to be there but ignored it.
"So how you been ? I ordered you some white wine", Brae spoke and Lauren nodded
"So wassup, why did you want to meet me for lunch?", Lauren asked with irritation in her voice and Brae raised her eyebrow
"I just feel like we aren't as close as we used to be , maybe it's because of the baby or me getting the house together . It just feels like you are very distant", she replies
The waitress brings Lauren her wine and Braelyn's drink, the girls thanks her and she excuses herself
"I don't know what you are talking about , I have noticed any distance", Lauren spoke
"Really , Lauren we are supposed to be family . I know I've been caught up but I want to fix things", She replied taking a sip of her drink
"I don't know it just seems like in the last couple of months you checked out of the friendship and sometimes I think you believe your life is perfect "
"Girl , perfect where the hell did that come from . We certainly ain't perfect , we have our problems . Maybe you forgot , we used to spend many night up late crying on the phone . Or maybe you blocked that part out now that you are with Remy. Cause if anyone has changed it's you. You don't even come around anymore "
"I've been trying to keep this relationship to myself . It's new for me and I just don't want anyone judging my situation"
"Girl , you act like the streets don't talk . If anyone knows that it's you . As many bitches as we've run up on. You were just in a 10 year relationship , stop trying to act like it's didn't happen"
The conversation was getting intense and Lauren would rather be home with her man and puppy .
"Look we all have lives and they are perfect Lauren but don't shut me out . You are still one of my best friends , we've been through a lot . Just because we are in different stages doesn't mean I love you any less . Brielle just came into my life and took over "
Lauren nodded ,"So where do we go from here ?"
"It's up to you , just take that perfect word out your mouth cause you know me . I keep a lot to myself too, if people knew half the stuff I put up with ", Brae told her shaking her head
"Like what ?" , Lauren asked with her head tilted
"Hmph, Ashley . Who you think went with her to get that abortion she had? Me , I had someone following her for months . I knew she was pregnant , her and Dave spent too much time at "the trap" AKA The W. I ran up on her one day and after that she was never supposed to look our way. She got messy and now she's dead . Till this day he thinks I don't know about the baby but some things you have to take to the grave", she replied finishing her drink and calling the waitress over for another
