What about us?

Anger

Aaaaaand grumpy Maggie is in town this week.

After that 'relapse' of the past week, Maggie had been going out more. Not only to the ice-cream or grocery store, but to bars, and not precisely the good ones.

Lucky for her, Maggie didn't bring any stranger to the apartment because Maggie knew how she felt about one night stands.

Today is Friday, and today was other day of Maggie getting ready to go out. She puts the skinny black jeans (that El secretly wants to steal) with the white button up and the leather jacket.

''You are so gay dude'' El, who's currently on the couch watching Netflix, says as soon as she sees Maggie.

''I have known that since I'm fourteen'' Maggie says grabbing the keys form the coffee table ''don't wait me up'' she winks towards El.

''I wasn't thinking of doing such thing'' El says focusing on 'Castle' again.

''Love you!'' Maggie says as she closes the door.

''Love you too! Be careful''

-:D-

El wakes up at the sound of the front door being closed. She sees the clock on her bedside table. 03:24 AM.

She hears Maggie entering in the room and taking off her boots.

''You smell like sex and cheap alcohol. Go take a shower and then you can sleep here. Otherwise, the guest room awaits ma 'lady'' El says without opening her eyes.

''Whatever'' Maggie mumbles and El hears the wardrobe being open and seconds later she hears the bathroom door and the shower running.

She falls asleep and the next thing she knows is that she is hot. And maybe that's because Maggie is hugging her.

''Maggie get out. It's too hot for cuddling. It's summer for God's sake'' El says trying to get out from Maggie's embrace.

''Five minutes more'' Maggie says tightening her grip on her friend.

''Come on Mags. I'll make us breakfast'' as soon as El says that, Maggie loses her grip. ''Asshole'' El says under her breath winning a chuckle from Maggie.

El is finishing the pancakes when Maggie decides to show up at the kitchen wearing the tank top and the boy short that she uses as pj's.

''Morning my little friend'' El smiles to Maggie.

''Morning'' Maggie answers sitting on one of the stools.

''Grumpy Maggie is back'' El puts a cup of coffee in front of Maggie.

''You know what?'' Maggie says suddenly making El jump ''I am not grumpy. I'm angry. I am so angry. I don't know why she waited all this time to say that she wanted kids. She literally waited till the week before our wedding to discuss the kids thing. And okay, I'm angry with myself too because I assumed that she didn't want them. But, can you blame me? With the kind of job that she has and my job too. All the close calls that we had ONLY this year. All the death threats. The world was about to end for God's sake. And despite all this, she still want to have kids'' she says finally looking at El ''I just can't understand that she threw all that we had. All the good things that we were for kids that she doesn't even know if she will have. For a thing that she doesn't know if it's going to happen. And I want to hate her for that. I really want that. But I can't, because I'm sure she is going to be a great mom. Because I know that she stills look after me, because I know that she is behind of the most of Win's and James's calls, because I know that she is the one that tells Kara to drop randomly by the station with food and make sure that I eat properly'' Maggie's eyes starts to filling with tears ''And I really want to hate her because she turned me into a crying machine'' Maggie wipes the tears with the back of her hand ''and these are ang-''

''Angry tears, I know, been there'' El finishes Maggie's sentence ''so, to sum up...''

''To sum up, I want to hate her but I can't'' She says wiping the last tears falling on her cheeks.

''Well my friend, welcome to your next phase on this break up, acceptance'' El says doing her infamous jazz hands.

''What kind of crappy psychology is that?'' Maggie says with watery laugh ''Give me pancakes, gurl'' Maggie puts her plate in front of El.

''I don't know, I googled it a couple of weeks ago'' El shrugs and puts some pancakes on Maggie's plate. Maggie looks at her with an incredulous look on her face.

''I don't even wanna ask about that psychology thing'' Maggie says eating her pancake.

''I'm gonna say it to you anyways'' El shrugs ''the break ups have phases. The first one is confusion, I identify it during your first week here. The second one is depression, I think I don't have to remind you about your Adele phase. The third is the relapse, you had it three weeks ago, I think. And now you are about to accept all this'' El finishes drinking a sip of her coffee, letting Maggie open mouthed.

''Well, wow'' Maggie says ''Good thing you are a pediatric doctor and not a psychologist''

''I'd be an excellent psychologist'' El says.

''Whatever makes you happy, babe'' Maggie says drinking her coffee ''so, acceptance uh? We'll see''
