  Elias's cries woke me up around 9am which was peculiar considering his normal wake up was 6am. I grabbed Elias and fed him oatmeal for breakfast. I sat and ate my cereal and texted my friends. When i opened my phone I had 6 messages.

Lizzy: Hey, i'm in LA for my nephew's birthday, let's go shopping at 11 at the Mall, just meet me there.

Me: got it, see you there. 



Mom: I probably won't arrive till tomorrow morning, sorry sweetheart, the flight was delayed.

Me: okay mom that's fine


Jack: Ill be home later tonight, love you..

jack: tell Elias I miss him.


me: k


Swazz: yo boi was drunk af last night

swazz: *picture attachment* 

Swazz: you could do so much better.


  I didn't respond to that last one because it was a picture of a girl twerking on Jack. After eating i took Elias upstairs and I changed him into black shorts and a button up. I changed into a black flowy romper and black sandals. I put Elias in the car and we drove to the mall. I saw Lizzy and parked right next to her. I got out of the car and I got Elias, then the stroller. Lizzy came up to help me and then we hugged. We walked into the mall and started talking. 

"so how are you and Jack"she asked.

"um, not so good, it's like i barely know him anymore. He says hi then leaves and He never really calls me, only Elias. He has girl literally all over him, and im not just talking about fans. I feel like im not good enough for him anymore and yeah"i said.

"well it's true plus, no offense but he makes no effort or no sign that he misses you. Take Gilinsky for example he always is posting about madison on twitter and instagram, people dont even question if they are still dating, but with you guys I don't know the last time ive ever seen shipping shit for you two and i always see people asking shit about you. but it's none of my business. Just, get something cute to wear tomorrow and maybe like i don't know surprise him. "she said.

"yea, but I need to go get something for Elias to wear tomorrow."i said. We walked around for a while and bought a few things. I went into Carter's clothes for kids while Lizzy went to go get somethings. We told each other to meet at Panda express in the food court. When we met up Lizzy had like 20 bags. She pulled out a black short tight fitted dress. (pic above). 

"this is for you for tomorrow, you're welcome" she said. I held it in my hands and I looked down at it. I won't look good in this, i'm too fat. I've been running every week and i've been eating less than I should, maybe it will pay off now. I tucked it away in one of my bags. We ate lunch some more and went back to shopping. Elias saw the build a bear workshop and I, myself couldn't help it. Me, Lizzy, and Elias all went in. We got 3 regular bears and we built them. Elias wanted his to dress like a cowboy, i wanted mine to be a princess, and Lizzy dressed hers up as a marine. Once we were done we all laughed at such little kids we were. 

  We didn't end up getting home till 6pm, I invited Lizzy to eat dinner with Elias and I. I had spaghetti, so that's what I made. I chopped it into little pieces for Elias and served both myself and Lizzy. We ate and talked and caught up. She had a boyfriend that was in the marines who was super well built and she showed me some pictures. He was very good looking and just her type. It surprised me how much I miss out on my friends' lives. I told her about staying with the baby and watching him grow and Jack. For me, Jack was a touchy subject and I didn't like it. I put Elias in his playpen and turned on tv for him. I went back to talking with Lizzy.

 "i miss him, but he doesn't miss me. even this morning he texted me 'tell Elias i miss him' like what the hell what about me, your girlfriend the one you said you loved the one you had a child with"i said.

"listen Mari, maybe he just wants to live out his years before he settles down"she said.

"no that's not it, I already told you he doesn't care, maybe he does need time and once I leave him he probably won't even come back for Elias. He might just call Elias and see him on special holidays like he always does."

"Mari he will come around one day hopefully soon"she finished. We talked for a little longer then it was 9pm. She left and I put Elias to bed. I expected Jack home by now, at least so he can talk to his son. I decided to let Elias sleep. I sat on the couch and it was 10:30 pm. I decided to have a glass of wine that lizzy brought. I flipped the wine glass up all the way. I sipped my first sip and then there was a knock on the door. I opened it up and there stood Jack johnson. he gave me a peck on the cheek. Are you serious? On the cheek??? 

"where's Elias"he said

"he just fell asleep, thanks for asking about me im great and you'll be sleeping on the couch. There is some pillows and blankets there, goodnight"i said. it might have been a little harsh but he hurt me, yet again.
