Me and Auntie D entered Taco Bell laughing. But a couple were not.

"YOU DID WHAT." The girl stood up and slammed her fists on the table.

"OH SHUT UP LAUREN! WHY ARE YOU SO JEALOUS." The boy did exactly the same.

"I'm leaving Taylor." She walked out. "Oh, I'll get the bus back." She turned around one last time before walking out of the mall.

"Hey, let's get takeaway. It look like it's gonna rain." Auntie D knew that argument was about me, so she tried to get me out of there before Taylor noticed.

*Skip Car Ride.*

"I told you." Auntie D laughed whilst lugging her bags out the car.

"Yeah, let's get in before it starts hailing." I grabbed my bags and followed Auntie D inside.

"Oh Shit!" Auntie D stopped in her tracks.

"What?" I looked at her.

"I forgot to stop at Walmart, the fridge is empty. All that's in there is Mac 'N' Cheese." Auntie D grabbed her keys.

"Stay here. I'll be right back." She jogged out to the car.

I sat on the sofa and heard the rain pelt down to the window pain.

DING DONG!

"I'm coming!" I shouted towards the door as I stood up. "Auntie D did yo-" I stopped.

"C-can I c-come on?" Taylor shivered.

"Of course." I grabbed a towel off the radiator and wrapped him in it.

"Lauren broke up with me." He sighed.

I stroked his back. I felt like it was all my fault.

"Do you have any food? I didn't get any in Taco Bell." He frowned.

I nodded and raided the pantry. Mac 'N' Cheese pots?

"Is Mac 'N' Cheese Pots Okay?" I screamed to him. I'd never seen the, before.

"Yeah." He called from the kitchen.

I got one and threw it in the microwave. Heat for 1 - 2 minutes the packet read.

"Hey, It's not your fault y'know." Taylor smiled showing me his braces. He was 16 and I was 14. We could never be together.

"It had been like this the past couple months." Taylor sighed. A weight of guilt was lifted off my shoulders.

"It's ready." Taylor pointed to the microwave. I nodded than put the pot on the counter for Taylor to collect.

"Knife, fork or spoon?" I asked.

"Spoon." He removed the lid from the pot, and put it in the bin.

"Hey Raggy?" I asked, giving him the spoon.

"Yeah Doll?" He replied.

"I don't think you can go back. It is literally hailing." I pointed to the kitchen window.

"Okay. I've got some clothes here anyway." He smiled.
