"Why don't you just talk to her?"
"And say what? She probably hates me."
"You could start with 'I'm sorry'." Tracy suggested, playing with Corinna's hair. Corinna shrugged, acting uninterested.
"Well if she wanted to be friends, she would have reached out by now," the girl said with a huff.
Tracy chuckled, causing Corinna's head to bounce as it rested on his chest. "CJ is your friend, even if y'all don't talk. You don't think she feels the same way? She's probably been waiting on you."
Corinna rolled her eyes, getting off of the sofa. "You're right." She mumbled. "I'm gonna go over there."
"You got this." Tracy offered a lazy smile and a thumbs-up.

"Oh," CJ raised her eyebrows when she opened the door. Corinna stood there awkwardly- she's never actually knocked before, she used to just let herself in.
"Hey," Corinna tried to smile but she felt so uncomfortable. "Can we talk?"
"Yeah, of course. Come in."
The girls sat together in the living room in silence, not knowing where to start. They've been across the hall from each other for a month without seeing or speaking to each other. Things definitely weren't the same as they used to be.
"CJ..." Corinna started. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay." CJ was quick to brush it off, hoping to avoid the awkwardness.
"No, like, for real. I'm sorry that I was such a bitch to you the last time we talked. I was just frustrated and I was projecting my own issues onto you."
"I shouldn't have asked you to keep an eye on Gus for me. I didn't trust him and I should have taken that as a sign." CJ admitted.
"I should have been there for you anyway, babe. You're always there for me." Corinna leaned over to hug CJ. "Oh my God, I think she just kicked me." Corinna gasped, looking at her friend's belly.
"He."
"What?!"
"Yep." CJ confirmed with a smile.
"Oh my God," Corinna repeated, suddenly sniffling and tearing up. "Oh my God, I didn't even know the gender. CJ I missed you."
"I missed you, too." CJ began tearing up as well. "I have so much to tell you."
"Me first," Corinna sniffled.
"I'm pregnant."
