Drown For Me//Colson Baker

seven!

Im starting to really despise Pete.

I can't stand anything he does and I just really never wanted to be around him anymore. I knew it was because I was losing interest, and I was upset from losing Colson. It had been a few weeks since we 'broke up' and I started to miss him even more. I seen him sometimes when he needed someone to babysit Casie, but he could never look at me or even engage in a brief conversation. I hated it.

It also makes me kind of angry, I should've seen it coming though. I knew from the start it would never last.

But Pete and I had been arguing like crazy, about everything. Both of us were miserable. I just didn't know what to do about it.

"Hey, we're gonna go out to dinner with a bunch of my friends and their girls." Pete said coming out of the kitchen with his phone glued to his hand. I nodded as I flipped through different movies on Netflix.

"When are we going?" I asked leaning my head back and looking at him. He gazed at the clock on the wall before answering, "seven thirty, you might wanna start getting ready. Wear something a little fancier."

"Why? What's the occasion?" I furrowed my eyes rows at him before turning the tv off.

"It's Kells' birthday, we're gonna go back to his house after for a party." He explained shoving his phone into his pants pocket.

I couldn't help but let an annoyed look be plastered on my fave, making Pete question me.

"What?"

"I don't want to go, Pete." I blurted out as I stood up. He rolled his eyes at me.

"What's going on between you and Kells?" He asked me letting me know he was very annoyed with me.

I sucked in a breath at his question, it caught me off guard. He squinted at me as if the gears were turning in his head about possible solutions.

"Y'all were like best friend or some shit, now it's like y'all hate each other," he explained leaning on the door frame still squinting at me as I stood there silent, "Did you two have a argument or something?"

Oh it's a great day for poor Pete to be stupid!

I raised my eye brows and let out a relived breath, "Yeah, a few weeks ago we got into it. Yep it was when he dropped Casie off after school for us to look after her." I said coming up with an excuse off the top of my head so he'd leave it there.

I nodded, seemingly believing every word I said and scratched the back of his neck nonchalantly.

"Well, I don't really care if y'all are mad at each other. I'm not gonna be the only one without a date." He started to go back into the kitchen when I realized what just came out of his mouth. The only one without a date?

Did that mean Colson had a date?

"I thought Colson was single? Why would you be the only one without a date?" I said feeling my heart start to hurt. He turned around and shook his head.

"He just got back with some of his ex's, Sommer Ray or some shit. I've never met her." He answered before walking back into the kitchen as I sat down and let my heart ache.

It was hypocritical for me to be upset over him having a new girl when I've had a boyfriend the whole time. But it still hurt.

Nevertheless I thought about how it would be for me when I had to spend the rest of the night, and probably the next morning, with Colson. I didn't have the slightest clue how he'd react seeing me. Maybe it would be like how it had become, him and I refusing to acknowledge each other. It was painful and I could tell it was for him too. But he had been the one who broke things off.
