Two weeks later
Spring was near and Ryan wasn't here with Lillian. She bounced Zane on her thigh as she ate her dinner and couldn't stop thinking about him. Zane was turning nine months, he was getting so big and Ryan isn't here to watch him.
“Ready to go, girls?”, her mother asked her and Cassandra.
Cassandra said yes but Lillian only nodded. She handed Zane over to her dad who will watch him until her mom gets back from dropping them off. She grabbed her jacket and headed out to the car. She leaned against the car door and stared out the window.
The only time she has talked to Ryan was about Zane. Lillian took Zane over to his mother every other morning since she still wanted to see her grandbaby, which Lillian wasn't going to deny her and Ryan got him on the weekend. He would try to bring them up, but she made up an excuse she had to go.
Maybe she wasn't so much as mad at him anymore, but needed space. Maybe they needed to be apart for right now so she could clear her head, though she missed him still but she didn't feel like she was falling apart.
Her mom pulled into the high school parking lot and she got out. She didn't see Ryan's car here, but her mom always dropped her off early to school. She made her way into the building and started her morning.

{Ryan}
Ryan will never listen to his dumb friends again. He looked across the caf over at Lillian who was sitting with some people, but she wasn't even talking to them but eating her food. He tapped his nail against the table as he looked down at the table and sighed. He thought by now they would have gotten back together now but they were just wishes
He doesn't know what to do with his life anymore. His dad always started by waking up and feeding Zane and making sure Lillian got up, but now his mornings are quiet and lonely. He's so use to it that he isn't sure what to do anymore.
She wouldn't even look at him in the halls when they go passed each other.
. . .
When school was over, he was hoping to catch Lillian come outside. He only made it out before her once but she just ignored him. He waited by the doors and waited for a couple of moments. He saw her come down the hallway reading from a text book and he hated the Duncan showed up next to her, pointing at something at the book.
He looked away from them and waited until she came out. When she did, he reached out and took her arm, “Lil,”, he said and she looked taken back for a moment. “I need to talk to you.”.
She stared at him for a moment then looked at Duncan before nodded. Duncan left and he took his hand off her arm and she cleared her throat, “Yes, Ryan?”
He looked around and didn't want people to be noisy, so he grabbed her hand again and took her over by a bush where not a lot of people were, “Why wont you talk to me?”, he asked her and happy she didn't snatch her hand away from his...yet
“I have talked to you.”, she said, looking down at the ground.
“Not about us.”, he said. “You were right about Hanna, she did just want to break us up. I'm sorry I didn't believe you, but I never cheated on you with her.”.
She brought her hand up to her forehead before brushing her bangs back. She breathed out hard and looked up at him, “I believe you Ryan, I have since that night.”
His eyebrows came together in confusion, “Then why are you mad at me? Because I didn't tell you?”
“Yes, no—I don't know. I just needed to get away for a moment.”, she said then brought her hand up to her mouth.
