What a Babe! (ryan ross)

♧ Two Sugars and Almond Milk ♧

The car ride home was extremely awkward. I was sitting in the fron seat with my arms crossed, completely ignoring Ryan, who was also ignoring me. Frank was driving while eating his Dunkin Donuts.

"What's wrong with you two? Yesterday you were snogging like there was no tommorow. Now you're both acring like gargoyles." Frank laughet his dumb joke. "He broke up with me." Frank slammed down the brake. "What!?" He turned to face Ryan. "Fuck off." I sighed. "No, Frank I'm not lying." I tried to explain. "I know, I'm trying to get this cunt to fuck off. He can walk home." Ryan opened the car door and slammed it. In reply Frank honked the horn and put the finger up to him.

We drove off, leaving Ryan standing in the gutter. I took my phone out of my pocket and immediately called Oliver to tell him what happened.

"Oi cunt guess what just happened!"

"What!?" Ollie replied.

"Ryan broke up with me. And Frank just kicked him outta the car and honked the horn at him!"

"WHAT!!?"

"I said -"

"No I heard you I'm just shocked. Why'd Ryan break up with you?"

"Umm, Frankie it's about you."

Frank turned his head in surprise. "Youse broke up over me?" He asked. I nodded in reply. I put my phone on speaker so Frank could hear.

"So we'd finished shopping and Ryan was acting pretty odd. Then out of the blue asks me if I have feelings for Frank." I explained. Frank laughed out loud and SPAT everywhere because he's gross.

"And what did you say?" Ollie asked.

"Well I told him Frank's my best mate, my gay brother." "EXCUSE YOU!" "Soz Frankie, Ryan for real thought I like Frank. Then I was like 'what ya gonna do? Break up with me over it?' So the dumb bitch did." Frank pulled the car into the complex carpark and we got out and made our way to the main building.

"So yeah that's what happened. And it was so random too! Like who the fuck ships me and Frank!? More of a Gee and Frank person myself." I told Ollie, who was off speaker now. "What did you say?" Frank said, turning at the sound of his name. "Talking shit." I replied as Frank and I began climbing the apartment complex stairs.

"Anyways, talk later Ollie." I said as Frank unlocked the door to oir apartment and I stepped inside. "Cya Sylvan." Oliver replied before hanging up. I out my phone down on the kitchen bench and took my shoes off. Frank came up to me and hugged me. "What." I snapped at him. "Don't get feisty at me. Was gonna ask if you're okay. But you know what? Fuck you." Frank said with sassy sarcasm. "Shush. And yeah, I guess I'm okay. I don't know. I have no emotions right now to be honest with you." I told him as I pulled the fridge door open.

Frank went and sat down on the couch as I pulled out a tub of choc chip ice cream from thw depths of the freezer. I grabbed a spoon and joined Frankie on the couch, curling up in the corner. Frank looked over at me. "How much oce cream do you want?" Frank exclaimed. "Judgemental much. Geez. And fyi, I just got broken up with. So let me eat as much fucking ice cream as I damn well please." I informed him before eating a spoon of the deliciously cold chocolate ice cream.

Frank was watching gay shows, and I soon got bored and wandered into the bathroom. I looked in the mirror and fixed my hair. I leaned forward and took in myself, wondering about what I look like to other people. I thought about what I would look like to Ryan, and the thought of him made my knees suddenly go weak as I urst into tears.

I bit down on my hand to stop myself from making a noise. My eyes went red and my body was shaking like an uncontrollable blender on full speed when you don't hold onto it. Speaking of things that need to be held onto to, I ran into the lounge and threw myself at Frank, who was at first confused.

"Heyyy, what's up?" Frank asked casually, then he noticed the tears in my eyes. "Hey hey hey are you okay?" He said worryingly, hugging me and pulling me onto the couch beside him. "I'M NOT O-FUCKING-KAY FRANK!" I cried desperately. "You don't understand HE BROKE UP WITH ME AND BROKE MY HEART at the same fucking tiiime." I weeped, clinging to Frank like a baby.

"Shh. It's gonna be okay. There a plenty of fish on the sea. Not just the ones in your tank." Frank reassured me, though it did nothing. "But I don't WANT other fish I want Ryann. And after today he'll probably never want to see me EVER AGAIN!" I wailed, grabbing Frank by the shoulders and violently shaking him. "Frank I LOVED him! I LOVED HIM AND I LET HIM GOO!"

I was working at my new job at this local cafe when a familiar looking face walked into the store. He was a tall, skinny man with short brown hair and stubble on his chin. He was wearing a plain whote collared shirt and black trousers, but he looked so familiar but I just couldn't put my finger on it. Well,not until he came up and ordered.

I myself had changed a little bit as well over the past month or so. I had cut my hair shortish, with a fringe that flopped over my face, and I had dyed it black.

The young man slowly moved to the front of the line. I smiled at him and said, "Hello sir, what can I get you?" The man didn't answer me, but when he replied with, "An espresso please, with two sugars and -" "Almond milk." I finished for him. "Ryan?"
