Chapter 6

"Can I get a double cheeseburger, no mayo, no tomato, with a side of fries, and a large drink?" I ordered at the counter.

"Picky." Sage mumbled beside me.

I rolled my eyes.

"And for the other one?" The cashier asked, referring to Sage.

"Just double the order, but with mayo and tomatoes, and replace the fries with chicken nuggets." Sage said confidently.

"So, one meal with no mayo, no tomatoes, and fries, plus a large drink for her, and for you, mayo, tomatoes, chicken nuggets, and a large drink. Is that correct?" The cashier clarified.

I nodded. "That's right."

"That'll be $22.83." The cashier said as Sage handed over her card.

"I'm paying." Sage said with a smirk, taking her card back after paying.

"Aw, how kind of you." I teased.

"Okay, your number is 82. Someone will call it when your food is ready. Pickup is on your right." The cashier informed us, handing over two large cups.

"Thank you!" we both said, taking the cups and heading to the drink station.

"So, you guys broke up?" Sage asked casually, filling her cup with iced tea.

"So basic." I sighed, filling mine with Dr Pepper.

We walked back to our seats.

"It's been a whole two weeks, and I'm already so sad without him." I admitted, frowning.

"A sign to get back together." Sage sang.

"I don't even know why I suggested we take a break. I just got so fed up." I confessed, frustration creeping into my voice.

"Maybe because deep down he needed one too.." Sage took a hold of my hand.

"Well. Maybe. I just miss him so badly it hurts."

Sage smiled, before taking another sip of her iced tea. "Remember when Cody when on vacation the first year into you guys dating and you guys texted and called so much his parents had to take his phone away from him for the rest of the trip?"

I laughed. "Ugh i remember. We were so clingy."

"82!" the cashier called out.

"I'll get it." I said quickly, getting up to retrieve our order.

"London! Hey." a familiar voice greeted me.

I turned, and my stomach dropped.

Cody's mom.

"Mrs. Taylor! Hi. What are you up to?" I asked, trying to sound normal.

"I came to grab lunch with our divorce lawyer. What about you?" She asked with a warm smile.

"Sage and I came for food, but we're heading out now." I said quickly.

"Well, it was nice running into you! Hope you girls have fun." Mrs. Taylor said kindly.

"We will. Bye!" I replied, grabbing the food and practically speed-walking back to our table.

"Come on, we're leaving." I told Sage.

"Why? We just sat down." She groaned.

"Cody's mom is here WITH her divorce lawyer, and I told her we were heading out, so..." I trailed off, hoping she'd get the hint.

Sage sighed dramatically but grabbed her drink and followed me out.

"You sound like my dad when... well, you know." She teased as we walked to the car.
