Big Apple Besties

Cheaters and Haters

It had been two weeks since Elle, Roxy and Teddy arrived in New York City and they had barely even left the apartment. They allowed Teddy to mourn the relationship, joining him in sobbing while watching Julia Roberts rom coms, getting wasted in the evenings, and holding back each other's hair while barfing into Roxy's really expensive toilet. Elle had left occasionally to see Johnny, but it was pretty much the three of them being disgustingly pathetic.

Around the end of the two weeks, Roxy decided it was time to go grocery shopping, and pick up some new clothes for Teddy since most of his had tears or vomit on them. For the first time in two weeks, she blow-dried her hair, put on makeup, wore her signature street style of jeans, a crop top, a windbreaker and heels. Oh, and of course, the Chanel shades. Roxy took pleasure in the little things, like looking fire for no reason at all.

She made the New York city sidewalks her fashion walk, and soon enough people were picking who it was. Luckily, she brought her security guard with her. Cameras shot at her while she flashed her signature smile. The crowd outside the grocery store couldn't get enough. While she picked up eggs, milk, deodorant, soap and other items, people outside screamed her name. It might seem self-indulgent to admit Roxy liked the attention, but she did. In fact, she basked in it.

As she exited the grocery store, things turned sour.

"Roxy!! Is it true that you're dating Brad Pitt??" A paparazzi screeched. Roxy searched her mind... who was that again? Eh, it didn't matter, she wasn't dating him. She lightly shook her head and continued on her way. However, another paparazzi blocked her way.

"How about Christian Bale???" I literally just talked to the guy once, Roxy thought. Her security guard tried to push through the crowd slowly.

"And not Will or James either??? Just hooking up??" Roxy grew disgusted at the increasingly violating questions. Is this how the public saw her? Some slut who would work her way through men?

"You broke Brad's heart!"

"Who's your boyfriend, Roxy?"

"Johnny's heart was broken because of you!"

Roxy shoved through the crowd. Thankfully her sunglasses were covering her eyes because they flamed with anger and disgust. She abandoned the idea of hitting a department store to buy Teddy clothes, but instead walked briskly back to the penthouse.

Teddy chugged milk disgustingly in the kitchen as Roxy sat on the couch thinking of what had happened in front of the grocery store.

"You know, Paul liked milk." Teddy said quietly

Roxy was lost in her own thoughts, but was snapped back into reality. "What?"

"Paul liked milk. I thought it was disgusting, but now... I think I like milk too" Teddy slumped down in his chair. Roxy was too distracted to even process what Teddy had just said.

"Where's Elle?"

"Went with Johnny."

"Oh."

Silence fell over the two of them again.

"That movie, when's it supposed to start filming? The one with Jack Nicholson?" Teddy asked.

"Oh um... oh shit... it starts on Monday."

"Cool."

Silence again.

"I heard Paul's doing a new movie in Los Angeles with Jennifer Aniston."

Roxy got up quickly, grabbed Teddy's phone and threw it in the trash.

"Fuck Paul." She said.
