Sounded Silence

Major Visit

Paula's POV

As usual, PJ is asleep next to me. At this point, I'm used to it.

There's a sudden knock on the old door.

"Lock's broken!" I yell, "Come on in."

"This place is a dump."

The voice belonged to Matt Major.

"Hey Matt," I lowly reply.

He just sits down in the rickety chair next to me. Nothing more than awkward silence. I glance down in my lap.

"So...how's things with you?" I broke the silence.

"Not a whole lot," he says, "you just weren't in your apartment when I remembered you, so I talked with Parappa and he told me you were here."

My body went cold. How much did he know? I had known him since middle school, but come college he went out of state and it's been hard to keep in touch.

"What's got you living here?" Matt snapped me back in reality.

I just sigh deeply.

"Something's up with you. I just know it."

PJ finally woke up. He grabs his notepad and scribbles something on it.

"Hey Matt. When did you get here?"

"Everything alright with you, Peej?" Matt sighed.

"He..can't talk." I sigh again, "real serious stuff. Nerves or something."

Matt cocked his head.

"Another thing..." I pull up the Club Fun hoodie I was wearing.

"What?"

"Matt. I'm pregnant. And it's PJ's."

You couldn't really tell it, but there was some indication.

"You can't hide that forever, y'know," Matt stated.

"This is my life now, unfortunately."
