It didn't make shit hurt any less.
Her chest had tightened and felt weighed down considerably since the second she and Andre had been face to face, but she could feel something inside her chest constrict painfully when Andre said that he didn't love her anymore. She had been prepared for that, for the words to one day leave his mouth. Had anticipated them even. God, she had even thought herself ready to applaud him for getting to that point because that had been her goal, right? To get him to one day say that he didn't love her anymore because for her, Andre's words and actions had to fall in line together. Him screwing his way through anything with a skirt meant nothing if she didn't get to hear him say that he was over her. So, she should have been inwardly celebrating. Proud, even...of herself or him, she couldn't say. But she should have been something else....something other than the numbness that made it just a bit harder to breathe. Or was she just being dramatic? Naomi couldn't really tell. All she knew was that she needed a distraction and something told her that getting on a roller-coaster so soon after her breath had nearly been caught somewhere between her lungs and her heart was not a good idea unless she was actually trying to die. And sure, she could be self-destructive when she wanted to, but Naomi's arrogance reminded her that she had too much intelligence to die so soon. But fuck it all, if it didn't hurt...
The backs of Naomi's eyes burned with the attempt to keep the unnecessary tears back - she had asked for this, damnit! There was no point in being a little bitch about it! So, she paused at another shooting game while a bunch of slightly younger people - freshmen, maybe - and pulled out her phone. Her phone was still vibrating, which was stupidly weird since the only notification she currently had was from Jade having texted her a minute ago. Her phone had a minimum of vibrating twice in two different intervals before flat-out pausing because she'd check it eventually. It took a second longer to realize that her hands were actually shaking and okay, maybe her breathing wasn't exactly normal, but she needed to calm the fuck down before her body officially shut down from a lack of sleep and too much drama. Or was it a heart attack? Naya couldn't be too sure, to be quite honest. And there it goes with the babbling, even in her own fucking head, and being rather dramatic...which was a surprisingly decent way to calm down since her mind then wasn't officially on the fact that she was probably a terrible person for riling Andre up, and for probably not being nicer to Kat earlier, and the fact that Andre obviously did not love her anymore because she gave him every reason not to...
To: Jade
Coming
It didn't occur to her to be surprised that she managed to text that out with obviously still shaking fingers - and okay, body, chill already - but Naomi's legs were also on auto pilot as they remembered the way back to the food trucks for her since Naomi's mind felt empty. Or was that just her in general? She couldn't tell the difference and wow, for once her mind was empty! Maybe there was a God...who probably fucking hated her if he could make her mind empty the moment when she wasn't asking him to - and oh, look at that! Nope, no emptying of this mind, not at all. Perfectly live and active, thank you very much. Unnecessarily so, but small blessings were a thing, she figured. By the time she managed to locate Jade, the other Alpha was in the line and close to the front, and although a few people tossed her a glare for obviously cutting the line to be with her friend, Naomi didn't spare them another glance as she nodded to Robert before turning to Jade. "Hey, Mama J." At least, her voice didn't sound like it was going to break at any second. Again with the small blessings, look at God!
