Happy ever after? (A Sequal to love hurts?)

New life

Janet's POV

I wake up once again in an empty apartment and make myself some cereal then walk into the living room and switch on the TV.

Chad left early this morning again and again didn't wake me like he used to. Infact he's nothing like he used to be. When we first met, he was such a sweet caring man and latley he seems distant and annoyed with me most of the time.

I've tried a few more times to contact my family, but everytime I call it just says the call can't be made, so I'm guessing they've all blocked me and apart of me doesn't blame them either. Mikey's dead because of me so why would they want me around? especially now.

Last month would have been Mikey's 1st birthday and I spent the entire day in bed crying and looking at what little photo's and videos I have on him in my phone.

I used to think ot was pointless when I'd see Michael and Ocean filming the most random things of themselves and their kids, especially since they never post them on social media or share them with friends, but now I wish I had done the same with Mikey.

All I have of him are a few photo's and 3 short videos and that's it. That's all I have to remember my son. I don't know where Michael and Ocean buried him so I can't even visit his grave to tell him I'm sorry for what I did.

I always wonder what his first word would have been and when he would take his first steps. I know it's pointless to even think about all that stuff now, but I can't help wondering what my little boy would be like if he was still here today.

As I'm thinking, the news anchors on the TV catches my attention when I hear the name of my old high school. I turn my attention back to the TV and it's showing clips of dance rehearsals for different high schools, getting ready for a competition.

When I first started high school here, all my friends would ever talk about was this dance competition they have every year and I was once gonna be apart of that, but instead I'm here and so much has changed so fast in the last few months that sometimes I've started to become numb to everything that's going on around me.

As I'm watching the news, the TV suddenly switches off and I turn and see Chad standing behind me.

"I thought you were out?"

"I came back to get a few things. Also to tell you we're going out tonight so I need you to be ready for 7pm"

"Another party?" I mumble "No, we're gonna go to my friends club tonight. He's short staffed again and I said we'd help him out"

"But, last week you said that was a one time thing?"

"I know I did, but the owners a really good friend of mine and he really needs the help. You don't want me to go back on my word do you? Especially to a friend"

"Of course not, but..."

"But what?" He cuts me off and I shake my head. "Nothing. It's fine" I mutter. "Great, I'll pick you up at 7 so make sure you look your best and don't forget to wear..."

"The necklace you gave me?"

"Exactly" he smiles and pecks my lips "I have to go, but I'll be back later" he says then leaves once again.

I really hate being at that club, but there's no point even arguing with Chad over it because I know we'll be going their regardless so there's no point arguing about it. But, in a way it's better that going to another party I guess.
