I stood there at the graduation party feeling sort of alienated.

Yeah, everyone here was under twenty one but no fucks were being given tonight. Everyone was drinking. Everyone, that is, except me.

Okay, yeah, I was eighteen, almost nineteen. But, come on. You're gonna tell me I never drank before? Now, I wasn't an alcoholic or anything but I've had my share of alcoholic beverages. But I had to keep things clean for the baby's sake.

Rachel had run off with Ethan, God knows how long ago, and I was alone.

Bryan had said he was coming but there was no sign of him. I was getting ready to leave but I didn't exactly know who to call.

A slightly buzzed Summer walked over to me with a smirk on her face. "Ava, Whats the matter? You seem a little lost without Royceeee.", she dragged out Geoffrey's middle name. I already hated her but a drunken Summer was even worse. I cringed at the false sympathy that oozed from her voice.

She pushed a little red cup towards me. 'Drink?"

"No, I can't. I'm-", I quickly stopped myself.

"You're what?", she asked, fluttering her eyelashes innocently. But I knew she was being anything but innocent.

"...Nothing...", I said, trying to brush her off.

"No, it's alright, Ava. Just tell me.no secrets now. That's rude.", She said sweetly. So sweet I could feel myself getting a cavity.

"No Summer...just... fuck off, will you?" Hey, I tried being polite.

"Nah, you made a mess. Now you're gonna clean it up.", She slurred.

Fine, she wanted to know? I'd tell her I wasn't gonna see her again anyway. School was over. "I'm pregnant.", I muttered. She was beginning to tick me off.

She smirked triumphantly. "I'm sorry. I didn't quite catch that."

"I'm fucking pregnant, Summer. Don't play dumb. You got what you wanted, now shut up!" I practically screamed. At that moment, all eyes were on me.

There was this grin that I wanted to oh so kindly slap off her face. I didn't know why she was smiling. I was about to ruin her like she did to me.

"So who's is it? That bum Mikey's? Or do you even know.", She asked as I started to make my way out.

"Actually, it's your ex's kid. Geoffrey. Oh, I mean Royce's...you know as in Prince Royce." , I said before I shut the door.

Nothing was better than the look on Summer's face as a chorus of "ooh's" erupted around her.

I really don't want to do this, I thought as I rang the doorbell to my old apartment.

Geoffrey answered a few minutes later. He seemed to look a little happier when he saw me. "Oh, hi, Ava. Come in.", He said opening the door wider.

"Thanks.", I said, giving him a smile as I stepped inside.

He studied me. "Are you okay?", He asked after a while. "You look like you've been crying.

"That's 'cause I was..."

"What's wrong?", he asked with a concerned tone in his voice.

I told him all that happened at the party and he listened to every detail patiently.

"I'm sorry...", he said as he gave me a hug.

This time I hugged him back. I really missed him and I couldn't hate him anymore, but something was telling me not to give into him just yet.

"It's okay... so, did you come up with any baby names yet?", I asked as we pulled away from the hug.

He shook his head. "I was about to ask you the same question... How bout we just keep it simple. Geoffrey jr?", he asked with a wink.

"No...It's too common. I mean, you're a celebrity... our child should have a semi different name."

"So, I'm guessing Royce is outta the question too?"

I nodded slowly... this was gonna be a Lon night.


We proceeded to throw a string of names at each other and failed miserably.

"Alex...?", he asked in a sort of defeated tone.

"How about Axel?", I asked.

We both found a way to say no to eachothers name choices and shook our heads in unison.

A few minutes later a great idea hit me. "Alexiel."

"What?"

"That's it. The perfect name."

Geoffrey broke out into a wide grin, flashing those dimples that I missed so much. "I love it, Ava.' And he gave me another hug.

I think he might've stolen a kiss too in the process.
