Roommates

Chapter 31

, Alyssa's Perspective

I was in mine and Ethan's shared bedroom and jut chilling, looking through my phone. I heard the door open and saw it was Ethan. He plopped down on the bed making us bounce (lol). He kept smiling at me and I was getting a bit creeped out.

"Why are you smiling at me like that?" I asked, laughing.

"Because. Ok...what if I wanted to be a dad someday?" He randomly asked.

"As much as I want a baby, I don't know if I'm ready." I said truthfully.

"Tell me when you are because I am."

"Ok, when did you become so confident to have a baby?" I asked.

"Tori."

"Do you even know how much responsibility it is to have a baby?"

"Why are you asking so many questions?" He asked.

"Because I wanna know!" I laughed.

"Ethan, I'm being curious and it's ok to be curious, you know?"

"Yes, Alyssa, I just want us to become parents one day. That's all I'm saying."

"I know, baby."

"And weren't you the one wo came to me, saying how you wanted a baby?" He asked. I forgot about that. I felt my face turn red and my cheeks heat up.

"...Maybe."

"Uh huh...well, whenever you're ready, I'm here." He said and then he left the room. I swear this boy will be the death of me.

Ethan's Perspective

I'm honestly ready to be a parent. I want a baby, but if Alyssa isn't ready then I'm willing to wait. Watching Grayson and Kimberly take care of Tori, made me realize how much I want to have a family of my own. It could've been me and Kimberly, if my dumbass didn't cheat on her, but that was a year ago. I'm happy and in love with Alyssa. I'm totally over Kim.

I am pretty close with Kim. Even after everything that happened, we are close. I just wish I treated her better when I had the chance. I'm so happy for her and Grayson though. They have come a long way. Now they are engaged and have a baby. It just made me realize that, this could be me and Alyssa one day.

Grayson's Perspective

Kim fell asleep in my arms, Tori fell asleep in the play pen. She looks like me when she's sleeping. Dead. I moved a little causing Kim to wake up.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you." I say.

"It's fine. I'll just go to bed." She said getting up and walking upstairs. I picked Tori up from inside the play pen and carried her tired butt upstairs to he room. When I laid her down in the crib she woke up and started crying. I picked her up and rocked her until she fell asleep again nd put her back down. She stayed asleep this time. I quietly closed the door and walked in to mine and Kim's shared bedroom.

I got in the bed and kissed Kim on the cheek before turning out the lights. 

"Goodnight, babe." I said.

"Goodnight, baby." She replied.

Kimberly's Perspective-1 month later...

"Whatever." I said rolling my eyes.

"Don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you!" Grayson yelled, grabbing my arm rather harshly. As you can see, we are having an argument. He is "stressed from paying bills and working. We all are, he isn't the only one. My parents look after Tori while we are all working. I started working again about 3 weeks ago.

"What?! You act like you're the only one who does shit around here! Grayson, I carried your daughter for 9 whole fucking months and managed to go to work even when you told me not to! Try being pregnant for once!" I snapped. I honestly didn't mean to but his attitude towards me, Ethan and Alyssa is ridiculous and I can't take it anymore.

"You wanna pull that card, huh?" He asked.

"Yes!"

'Well put it like this. I have put up with you and everyone else while you were pregnant! I tried making you happy and not so miserable because you've had some here and there. I put your happiness before mine! I thought about you before thinking about MYSELF!" He said.

"Wow. I'm sorry that MY FUCKING HORMONES TOOK OVER!? I CANNOT CONROL THE WAY I FEEL!"

"Yeah, you're right but I also have feelings too! Do you not think about how or what I feel?!" It was silent. He was right. I hardly do think about how he feels. I'm such a terrible girlfriend/ fiancé. 

"Look, I truly love you, Kim but I seriously think I need a little time to myself." He said. He walked up to me and kissed me on the forehead.

"So you're just gonna leave me?" I asked on the verge of crying."

"I never said I was leaving you. I made that pretty clear one day. I just need some time to think, to be alone. I honestly think it's best for us right now. We have been arguing about this for a little over a month now."

"G-Grayson, please."

"I promise. I'll be back soon. I just need a break." He went upstairs and just broke down crying. I don't want him to leave. He said he wouldn't leave me. Soon he came downstairs with a suitcase full of clothes. He walked over to me and hugged me tight, and kissing my forehead one more time before opening the door.

"I love you."

"I love you too." With that he left the house and off to somewhere else. Alyssa came downstairs and saw me crying. She hugged me and all I could do was cry. She rubbed my back, trying to comfort me. 

"I-I think I'm just gonna go to bed now." I said to her.

"You sure?" She asked.

"Yeah." Tori was staying at my moms house tonight so I didn't have to worry about her tonight. I went to mine and Gray's shared bedroom and got ready for bed. The whole night, I couldn't sleep, knowing he wasn't beside me to hold me. It's all my fault why he left and why we had the argument in the first place. Why do I always make things so much more difficult than what they have to be? I cried and cried until I fell asleep. I haven't done that in awhile and it kind of felt god to get it out.
