There are two phases during a break up, the Tori Kelly phase and the Beyoncé and I'm ashamed to say I'm in the Tori Kelly phase.

It's Sunday and I've been listening to the saddest break up songs and crying like a little bitch all of last night. I call it the Tori Kelly phase because I had 'Paper Hearts' and 'All In My Head' on repeat for about an hour before I slipped into the more depressing songs. 

Today I planned on continuing with my crying but my mother decided that it was 'cleaning day'. Could she not leave me to cry myself out in peace?

Around noon she sent me out to the grocery store because she wanted to make a big dinner but she still won't tell me why. I pushed my cart to the ice cream list because if I was going to be a loser about this break up then I was going to need ice cream. 

I was about to reach for the last pint of my favourite ice cream when a light brown hand reached for the same one. With my hand still on the container, I looked across and saw probably the last person I wanted to see today. Or ever actually. 

Ashton.

Her brown eyes widen at the sight of me and she quickly  dropped her hand from the ice cream. "Sorry." she mumbles and I narrow my eyes at her before taking it out of the fridge and putting it into the cart. I was about to walk away when she stopped me. "I'm sorry about Lucas too." she says and I look back to see her looking to the ground. "I didn't know he had a girlfriend." she says looking up again.

"Well no need to worry, he doesn't anymore." I tell her with a tight lipped smile.

"What?" she says her eyes widening once again in surprise. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to break you up. I talked to Lucas last night- well actually I was cussing him out and he told me y'all were working it out and that he was just giving you some space. Well I actually told him to give you space but that's not the point, the point is-" she rambled, her accent and fast pace of talking making it a bit hard to understand her so I cut her off.

"Two things." I said holding up a hand. "There is nothing to work out between me and Lucas. Secondly you didn't break us up. He did." I tell her. "Also if you don't mind I have to go." I say turning away from her and continuing my way to the cashier. While I do blame the entire thing on Lucas because if she's telling the truth and didn't know about me then Lucas is the only one I could blame but that doesn't mean I want to stand and hold a conversation with her.

*-*

My mother cooked up a storm in the kitchen and obviously forced me to help her because she couldn't leave me to wallow in in my self pity.

After cooking she finally told me why we spent all day cooking and cleaning, she invited her someone and their family over for dinner and wanted to make a good impression because apparently they were important. She assured me that their two children were around my age so I should be alright but I highly doubt that.

While I was braiding my hair, I heard a knock on the door and my mother moving to answer it. The apartment was filled with chatter. A minute later my mother came to my bedroom door and rushed me out.

"Okay, put on your happy face. If I want to make a good impression." she says pushing some stray hairs out of my face before leading me to the living room where the family was waiting.

I put on my best smile as I saw a woman who looked to be in her late forties standing and observing the room. That smile however dropped as soon as I saw Ashton standing next to her.

Today is just not my day.

Okay I actually kinda hate this chapter. I'm literally tempted to just kill everyone off and leave it at that.

Why did no one warn me that writing was hard????? 

qotc: Do you think Ashton actually didn't know that Lucas and Maya were together or do you think she's lying?

Anyway I'm off to watch Supernatural. Hope you enjoyed it!
