There were quite a few facts in the world. Some were proven to be true and others were considered true because of the belief and support behind them. The fact that Rory and Eisen did not deserve the treatment they were receiving was one of the latter. Aren wouldn't stop believing it. She never would. She'd had more hope in human decency, but it really had been inevitable for things to pan out how they had, given the circumstances. Eisen had made a mistake for cheating on Lexie with Rory. Lexie had deserved to know beforehand. The hurt would have been less, even if it wasn't by much. Rory was also at fault. Either of the two of them could exercised discretion. But it didn't matter now. It had happened. The two of them had their chance to be happy together and Lexie, even if she was hurt, had her chance to find that one and only. It really was a shame that love made human beings do things that they normally might not have. Love bred fools. Shakespeare had told them as much.
Aren was still glad that Eisen and Rory finally knew that their love was mutual. That, at least, was something to smile about.
Still, as terrible as it might have sounded, she wasn't exactly looking forward to visiting. Partly because she hated seeing the people close to her hurt or upset. Partly because she was most definitely jealous, because her lingering feelings for Rory still had not dissipated. And partly because she was more than certain that she'd feel more like the unnecessary presence with them now than she ever had before. The third wheel syndrome was something that she was more than familiar with. Though she and Rory had a certain level of understanding, there was no denying that the bond between him and Eisen went far deeper than intellectual conversation. It had made her feel like an outsider multiple times, though she never let it show. And she didn't plan to let it show that day.
When her last class of the afternoon let out, she texted Eisen to let him know that she would be coming by. She asked if he and Rory needed anything that she might have been able to bring.
The way to her brother's apartment was more than familiar to her by then, and it wasn't too long before she was at his door, knocking. In her mind she was repeating the same phrase she had been for most of the day. Je ne peux pas être jalouse...Je ne peux pas être jalouse...Je ne peux pas être jalouse...
