The Ordinary Girl

tylers birthday

So me and Tyler both already moved out. Sometimes I would go back to the house to get my other stuff. So it was Tyler's birthday today. Jaden was throwing him a surprise at his house. I was just gonna go there for a little while only because I didnt wanna be there . The party was in 7 hours. I just went to the store to buy him a gift at least. I mean I do listen. Maybe like 6 months ago I remembered him talking about some Record player disk that was rare to find. I think it was the Beatles special editon. I had one at my moms house but my mom doesn't even listen to those anymore. So I took it. The party was like an hour into it. I just wanted to drop his gift off then leave. I didn't have any other way to give him it.He was already outside at the front with Jaden.
"Oh look who it is.." Jaden said. Me and Tyler felt kinda awkward.

"Hey..." I said to Tyler .

"Yeah hey..." Tyler said.

"I'm gonna umm see how the party is doing .." Jaden said then went in the house.

We both awkwardly stood there.

"Umm yeah I just wanted to tell you that the time changed from 1pm to 3pm on the court day." I said .

"Yeah that's fine." Tyler said.

"How's the party?" I asked.

"Pretty good. I had no clue Jaden was gonna do this . Are you staying for the party?" Tyler asked.

"Uhh no I actually came to drop off your gift .." I said.

"Oh ... No Alex it's fine .. I feel bad enough that our marriage couldn't go right as we planned .. You didn't have to get me anything. "Tyler said.

"No it's fine... " I said as I pulled out the bag. He looked jnisde.

".. Haha no way." Tyler said .

"You like it ?" I asked.

"Yeah .. I do." Tyler said as he gave me a hug I was not expecting . And it seemed like he realized he shouldn't have given me a hug since it seemed a little random.

"Umm ... Hey I remember telling you I tried finding this record like 7 months ago. Can't believe you actually remembered. How'd you get it ?" Tyler said as he smiled.

"Yeah I was actually -." I said.
Stella opened the door.

"There you are .. Oh ... Umm sorry to interrupt this..." Stella said kinda seeming upset.

"... Stella no.. I was just getting my gift..." Tyler said as she went back inside.

"I gotta go back in.." Tyler said to me.

"... Yeah .." I said kinda in a bothered way .
"Wait Alex I don't mean to just leave in the middle of this conversation I just need to go and -" Tyler said.

"No it's fine... Do what you gotta do.. I'm kinda used to being put on hold ." I said as I sighed.

"Alex really ? Don't do this right now.Look she's my girl I have to see what's wrong .." Tyler said.

"Whatever .... I was gonna leave anyways" I said. I drove out of there quick. I mean he couldn't even let me finish what I was gonna say cause his sensitive girlfriend was sad him and I were talking.
I got to the house and was packing up my jackets. Tyler came later and was packing his stuff in the same room. So I went downstairs and was gonna leave and drive away with the boxes.
Tyler came down.
"Yo Alex wait up." Tyler said. I rolled my eyes and turned around while I was holding a box. He better make this quick.

"uh hey I wanna ... Kinda talk about leaving during our conversation." Tyler said.

"It's whatever .... I always experience shit like this from you." I said.

"Whoah hold up!... Don't even play the victim right now and I don't really do that ........" Tyler said.

"..K well I gotta go ." I said.

"You're not even gonna listen to what I need to say?.." Tyler asked.

"... It's probably not worth my time." I said as I put my shoes on.

"What? are you jealous that I'm with Stella because you were also sneaking around with some guy !!I know it !!! So you can't be mad at me for-" Tyler said and kept blabbing.

".... Yep,You're right. And I gotta go so you don't need to keep running your mouth." I said.

"Okay then......" Tyler said. I left. Put my box of jackets in the car. I didn't need to hear anymore bullshit from him or any excuses. We've been done and I really didn't wanna talk to him .

So I ended up just staying at a nice apartment. Not sure how long I was gonna plan on living there. I had a couch there so I slept on that this night. The next day was the divorce. Got dressed up. Arrived to court.
