I own nothing.

Chapter 2

"Oh my god, are you pregnant again" exclaimed Leah immediately making a laugh break from Juno's throat. This was why she loved Leah, why she was her best friend; she knew just when she needed a laugh.

"Is that a no?" said Leah sitting down on the steps of her house with her.

"Yes, it's a no…but I'll be sure to tell Bleaker you think he has super sperm" gasped Juno her laughter settling down. Silence fell as they sat there until finally Juno looked at her.

"I ran into Mark at the music store" said Juno the words coming out causing this numb feeling as they did.

"He asked me to dinner" continued Juno before Leah could respond.

"What'd you say?" said Leah practically screaming it even as Juno shushed her.

"I said yes" exclaimed Juno rising to pace the sidewalk in front of the house.

"And this is bad…why?" whispered Leah her eyes following her friend.

"Bleaker!" snapped Juno stopping to stare at her in exasperation.

"So…you and Bleaker aren't married. There's nothing wrong with a casual dinner between friends" said Leah.

"It is just a casual dinner, right?" said Leah drawing the question out much to Juno's frustration. Juno stared at her a moment before her pacing began again and a smile spread across Leah's face instantly. Running in front of her friend, Leah stopped her.

"Junes…do you like him?" whispered Leah. Juno wouldn't look at her until suddenly she did. She didn't say yes or no, but when Leah looking into her eyes, she saw the truth. That Juno really didn't know how she felt.

"I love Bleaker" whispered Juno refusing to look at her.

"But Mark…he understands me…no one's ever saw me the way he does" whispered Juno a few tears breaking free. Leah guided her friend to sit on the steps again and taking her hands, she made her look at her.

"Junes…if you truly love Bleaker nothings going to happen. It's just dinner" said Leah her words slow yet sure as if she was reciting a fact from a book.

"Just dinner, say it" whispered Leah leaning down in front of her. After a moment, Juno looked at her a calm seeming to fall over her, and nodding Juno said it.

"It's just dinner" said Juno releasing a sigh as the words left her lips.

"Just dinner" whispered Leah guiding her friend into another hug feeling as Juno released another sigh her head on Leah's shoulder. Despite everything Leah had said, Juno had a sinking feeling inside herself. Something told her that her words were false. This was anything other then just dinner.
