“I’m going to the store, Lex. You need anything?” I asked as I grabbed my jacket from the back of the couch. All I got in response was a grunt, so I took that as a no. “Okay, well, if you think of anything, text me,”
“I don’t think they have what I want in stores, so no, I don’t need anything,” He mumbled. I just smirked.
“No, I don’t think they sell a replica of Rian’s dick in the condoms section,” I snickered.
“Get the fuck out of my apartment, asshole,” Alex threw a cushion at me, just barely missing me. I laughed at his reaction and grabbed my set of keys just in case he decided to lock me out, before walking out.
I pulled my jacket tighter around my shoulders as I made my way downstairs, unlocking Alex’s car, and getting in, and making my way to the store not too far from the apartment.

“Candy, candy, what kind of candy to get?” I sang under my breath as I strolled down the aisle. I already had a box of Tums in my hand since I’ve been having heartburn here lately, and it sucks. I never had it until I got pregnant.
I scanned over the selection of candy bars, my mouth watering slightly. I picked up several before putting them back, getting frustrated that I couldn’t decide what fucking candy I wanted. Every time I picked up something I thought I wanted, it would churn my stomach and I would have to put it back. I don’t think anyone could understand how frustrating this is for me. I just want some freaking candy, but apparently it’s not what my baby wanted.
My back began to hurt from bending over for so long, and I stood up straight, wincing as my back popped in a way that had to be unhealthy. I was about to give up and go home, but a voice stopped me.
“Getting frustrated?” I winced slightly at his voice. “You should get the Milkyway. You always made me get them for you. I just know you love them.”
I turned slightly and yep, it was John behind me. I sighed as I turned my back towards him. He was the last person I had expected to see, and really, he was the last person I wanted to see right now.
“Thanks,” I muttered, and things went silent. And a very awkward silent at that. I bit my lip as I grabbed the Milkyway from the shelf, and took a deep breath and turned to face John.
Our eyes met briefly before I focused my attention on something else behind him. We just stood there in an awkward silence. It was so bad I think people could feel it and avoided the aisle completely.
Pretty sad, I think.
I caught his eyes looking at my growing stomach a few time, and I rested my hand on it self consciously, and almost as if it would protect the baby growing inside me from the dickhead standing in front of me.
“So, um, how is everything?” It sounded almost forced out of his mouth, and I had to suppress the urge to scoff at the question, because really? He walked out on me, and his child, and he thinks he can just ask me how things have been.
I felt a rush of several different emotions at once, making me slightly dizzy. I felt anger at the nerve he had to approach me and ask me that stupid as fuck question, I felt sadness and heartbreak all over again because I missed him more than anything and he doesn’t seem to care that I’m carrying half of him.
“Fucking peachy, no thanks to you,” It came a little more harshly than intended but I couldn’t take it back now. I saw him bit his lip and nod his head, and that’s it. That’s all he did. No I’m sorry, no asking if he needed help, no asking anything about the baby at all, nothing.
“That’s… good,” The awkwardness was about to kill me. That’s weird because I thought the heartbreak would kill me first, but now I think this awkwardness between us is even worse.
“Yeah,” I know that didn’t help but fuck, I don’t know what else I can say to him right now. Well, yeah, I do, but I would be kicked out of the store in a heartbeat if I did so I settled with saying that.
“You still staying with Alex?” Yeah, only because the person who said he loved me won’t even let me into my own fucking apartment.
“I have no where else to stay. The person who claimed to love me, kicked me out of my own apartment,” Okay, yeah, that was definitely harsh and I saw him wince slightly, but he deserved it with everything he’s done. “And we’re not going to tell him I saw you here. He’ll want to rip you apart even more than usual.”
“I kinda figured he would. He’s always disliked me.”
“Even more so because you turned into a dick,” What is with me right now?
John sighed. “I deserve that one,”
I scoffed. “You deserve a hell of a lot more than just that, but now’s not the time to get into that.”
When he didn’t say anything, I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. “I have to get going. Bye.”
I didn’t wait for him to reply, I just pushed past him gently and made my way to check-out lines.

The moment I walked through the door of Alex’s apartment, he knew something was wrong. Don’t ask me how, I don’t know. I guess it’s just a weird best friend thing we’ve got. But he shot up from the couch and looked at me with slightly narrowed eyes.
“What?” I asked as I set down the bags in the kitchen area. I began to sort through the items I bought, tossing him an extra Milkyway I bought as he walked into the kitchen.
“Something happened while you were at the store. What was it?” He asked, putting the candy bar on the counter.
I looked at him with a raised eyebrow. “What do you mean? Nothing happened. I went out and bought a few things.” I lied.
“Bullshit,” he said. I almost laughed at the way he was being but I didn’t. “What happened?”
“How you do you always know when something happens? It never ceases to amaze me,” I said, still trying to avoid telling him I ran into the one person he wants to murder the most.
“So something did happen?” He raised an eyebrow. “Tell me Jack,”
“Nothing happened, Lex.” I sighed.
“Stop bullshitting me, and tell me what happened.” He stepped a tad bit nearer to me.
“Nothing, Alex-”
“Tell me or -”
“Fine! I ran into John while I was getting candy. There, you happy now?” I said, exasperated.
“No, I’m not happy. What did that fucker say?”
“Actually, he didn’t really say a lot. It was really awkward being around him and he couldn’t think of a single thing to say to me except little useless questions.”
“He didn’t insult you or call you names or anything?”
“No,” I smiled at my friend’s protectiveness.
Alex’s hard eyes softened when he took in this information. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. “Okay. As long as he didn’t do anything to make you more upset,”
“Everything he does now makes me upset because he’s not here with me.” I mumbled, and Alex smiled sadly at me. He opened his mouth to say something, but I stopped him. “It’s fine, Lex. He’s an ass and I need to get over it.”
Yeah, shit like that’s always easier said than done.
