UPDATE.
I did have that talk with Anthony on Friday night, but it was much more out of the blue and it didn't go exactly as I thought it would've went in this entry.
It started around 4:30 Friday night.
:Jill constantly, continuously groans and moans about how sick she is throughout the ENTIRE night, but starting here at 4:30:
Anthony: "Jill, you're not doing drugs you're not supposed to be doing, are you?"
Jill: "No."
Anthony: "Are you lying to me?"
Jill: "Anthony, I didn't do anything!" :smallvoice, so only Justine can hear: "Today."
:Jill goes in the back:
Anthony: "Justine."
Justine: "Yeah?"
Anthony: "Is she doing stupid shit again?"
:silence:
Anthony: "She is. I can tell because you're not answering me."
:Justine looks at Anthony, looks away:
So Jill bitches all night, Anthony infers that she's an idiot all night, I AM SO DIZZY BECAUSE I AM SO ANXIOUS ALL NIGHT.
Anthony leaves for a bit, I go to lay down on the stacks of unfolded boxes because I cannot stand, and then:
Jill: "It's so hard."
Justine: "What, the fact that you can't say no?"
Jill: "I can't. Sarah calls me and tells me she bought a blue, and she got one for me. Cait calls to tell me there's a sale on them right now."
Justine: "You are the worst at temptation."
Jill: "I know."
Justine: "Jill, come closer."
Jill: "what?"
Justine: "This room is spinning."
Jill: "Oh shit."
Anthony comes back with Corona, of course. It's a Friday night. I am feeling a little better. Jill, Matt, and Anthony all have a beer. I don't drink, they all know. Matt leaves, Jill leaves. I am supposed to leave, but I stay, as usual.
Anthony brings it back up.
Anthony: "I knew she was lying to me. She kept denying it."
Justine: "She's done so much shit in the past few days, Anthony."
Anthony: "What has she been doing?"
:Justine stares at Anthony:
Anthony: "JusTINE!"
Justine: "Why do you think she asked you for a raise, Anthony? She's broke. She spent $300 in three nights on shit."
:Anthony slams down the fryer basket:
I dunno, he went on to say something about fucking stupid she was, and I agreed, and I kept talking about how she can't say no, and he said something about you should be able to know when to stop if it's fucking up your body so much . . .
Anthony: "And then to waste $300 like it's nothing."
Justine: "Hey. You did not hear that from me, Ant."
Anthony: "No Justine, I didn't hear it from you. But it's ridiculous. And no one's trying to stop her."
Justine: "ANTHONY I CAN'T DO ANYTHING."
And then the phone rings, and I answer it, and then Anthony is super nice to me for the rest of the night, instead of just nice.
Oh and then before I leave:
Anthony: "Justine, you just need to take care of yourself. Did those things I gave you help?"
Justine: "Yeah, they helped my voice, but that's not my problem. My . . . my anxiety has been crazy. My body's been all crazy."
Anthony: "Go home and drink some hot tea. And when you fight with your dad tonight, don't yell back. Just listen."
