The last couple days have been absolutely insane, the song went number 2 on apple music and iTunes and I've gained a million followers just on tiktok. "Are you going in today?" Rose asks popping her head in. "Nah I'm taking the day off, thinking of doing a cover and posting it" I answer.

"Oh? What song?" She asks. "I was thinking either all too well or sad beautiful tragic" I reply. "The 5 minute or 10 minute version?" She asks. "5 minute" I answer. "Do it" she says. "Really?" I ask. "Yes do it, make it acoustic and use your guitar" she says. "Will do, now go away" I reply shooing her away.

She laughs and leaves closing my door. I turn back to my laptop and go to google to find the proper cords for the song. After grabbing my guitar I sit practicing for a couple hours.

While I'm setting up my phone to film matilda pops her head in "whatcha doin?" She asks. "Doing a cover of all too well" I answer. She gasps excitedly "really?" She asks. "Yuppers" I reply. "I shall listen from behind the door then" she says. I laugh rolling my eyes "go be with your girlfriend" I tell her. "No make me" she says.

After pushing her out I close the door and go back to setting up. "Perfect" I whisper sitting down and grabbing my guitar.

For about an hour I attempt to do the cover but my voice keeps cracking or i stumble over the words. "One last time then I'm doing sad beautiful tragic" I tell myself. I hit record again "uh this is my 50 millionth attempt at singing this so here is all too well" I say then start strumming my guitar and the 5 minutes and 29 seconds go by with no mistakes.

I hear clapping on the other side of the door after I stop filming and I laugh "thanks guys" I say. Rose opens the door and the three of them are standing there with bright smiles on their faces.
"Amazing" matilda says clapping. "I'd say its iconic" shannon says. "Thank you" I reply smiling.

We watch it a couple times before I post it on twitter and Instagram tagging taylor as well. "Do you think she'll see it?" Rose asks. "Probably not" I answer shrugging. "She might" matilda says. "We'll see" I reply closing my laptop.

Since we're all off today instead of being couch potatoes we decide to get dressed and go out shopping. "Girls day out" I say taking a group selfie from the drivers seat. Matilda and shannon sticking their middle fingers up and rose sticking her tongue out.

Before leaving I post it on my insta story and then I start driving around atlanta. "Where to?" I ask them. "Mall" matilda answers from behind me. I nod and drive to the mall.

For a couple of hours we walk around the mall shopping and I ignore any stares I get. Right as we're walking out a girl in her teens runs up to us. "Hi I'm a big fan can we take a selfie?" She asks. "Oh sure!" I answer. We take a few selfies "thank you, I loved the all too well cover by the way" she tells me. "Awe thank you! It was nice meeting you" I reply before she walks off.

The three of them turn towards me "that was weird to see" rose says. "Its probably going to happen often" I warn them. "Let's go get something to eat" matilda says rubbing her stomach. "I gotta go to Cvs for tampons" rose says.

"Ah shit does that mean mines coming soon too?" Matilda asks since we're synced. "We'll probably all get it soon" shannon says. "Yeah probably" I respond quietly.

Wait. I didn't get mine last month. How did I not realize it? "We can stop off at CVS before getting food" I say driving to the nearest one. My knee starts shaking up and down nervously and my brain starts trying to do the math.

The last time I had sex was with jack 2 weeks before the breakup, that means I'd be 6 or 7 maybe 8 weeks along. Crap. "Are you good? You've been quiet" rose asks. "Y-yeah I'm good" I lie. "If you say so" she replies.
