After Fletcher finished his breakdown we went out and grabbed a bite to eat. We went to a place where only people who grew up there knew. We walked in and the people greeted us like parents do to their children. They walked over to us and hugged us all. Fletcher remained silent as we all ordered. I sighed and said " Come on Fletcher. You have to say something." He shrugged and said " I know... I just don't feel like it." I was sitting next to Rosie who was drumming with some straws. Fletcher was sitting there tapping his foot. I smiled and started to hum to a song that me and Fletcher used to sing all the time. He didn't do anything. I blinked as I started to sing the lyrics to Bruno Mars' "Count on me."
As I sang a little and did a little dance he ignored it. I began to get angry and said " Fletcher sing with me!" He said looking down " Maybe I should forgive Adelia..." I glared as tears formed in my eyes. I grabbed Rosie's hand and said "Come on. We don't need to waste our time with him." It was the first time I ever wanted to leave him. He immediately stood up and apologized for being such a buzz kill. I sighed and said " It's fine. Just make an attempt to forget her. She is not even close to worth it. Why don't we eat quick and then go to a movie. Just the three of us?" He smiled and nodded. I put an arm around his neck and had an arm around Rosie's waist. We all shared a plate of nachos and spoke about school and getting ready for prom. I looked at Fletcher and said " How about instead of going with Adelia you go with me and Rosie and we can just have more fun then the two of you would have anyways!" He smiled and said " I don't want to intrude on anything that would happen..." I looked at Rosie and back at him and said don't worry about what would happen after the prom. Besides, don't guys dream about going to prom with lesbians?" Rosie threw her head back laughing and Fletcher snorted and said sarcastically " Of course! It is all we fantasize about!" We laughed and then finished our food. We paid and then left. As Rosie and I began to walk out Fletcher was texting someone. I said walking backwards holding Rosie's hand and said " Who are you talking to?" He stopped suddenly as his face sort of dropped and said blinking quickly with a smile " Nothing. Just found out my sister is pregnant."
I knew he was lying.
