I knocked on Hazel's door.

I wasn't feeling very well. Luca had been acting differently. He was being distant and moody. It has been three days since the last time we kissed and he hasn't spoken to me well. It was just the monosyllabic responses and it was pissing me the hell off.

I didn't tell Luca about Ann's little desperate stunt. She must've deleted the video by now. How would he react if I did tell him about it? Would he cut her off like I hope he does?

The door opened causing me to halt my day dreaming thoughts. Hazel grinned at me and ushered me in her apartment. This place would have been mine but I'm here happy. I got Luca hehehehehe.

"I'm so glad you dropped by. Have a seat." She smiled and placed her hand on the small of back, pushing me forward lightly. Her apartment was similar to ours. Only the furniture and the walls were different.

I took a seat on the comfy couch and moaned as my butt sunk into the soft couch. I did a giddy little bounce and Hazel laughed at my antics.

"Wheres Maya?" I asked , wanting to see that cute little bundle of joy.

"Oh she's in my room playing with her dolls. " she exclaimed and immediately left the room , probably getting Maya.

My eyes wandered around her apartment again. Our apartment was a bit on the darker side. Hazel's was bright and family friendly. Kinda, I don't know.

Just then my phone buzzed. I checked it to find a text from Luca.

Heading out with kade and Ann. Won't be back tonight.

I frowned as the unfamiliar feeling of jealousy coloured me green. The unwanted wave of questions surfaced again. Where is he going? why with Ann? Why won't he back? Why isn't he telling shit? WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU OVER THINKING ABOUT THIS!

I scolded myself and replied back with a "Ok. See you."

Just then, Hazel returned with Maya on her hip. Maya was only wearing a tiny blue top with some Disney shit on it and diapers. Her big bouncy curls were tied up in a cute pony on top of her head.

I automatically outstretched my arms to hazel, wanting Maya on my lap. Hazel laughed melodiously and placed Maya on my lap.

"Aw. Aren't you a cute thing?" I cooed as Maya grinned up at me toothlessly. A gargle left her mouth and she cuddled up to me, placing her head on my chest, her tiny arms going barely around my waist. Warmth flooded in my body . I smiled down at Maya and held her close. I think I might like kids.

"I think y'all will get along just fine " Hazel commented and I laughed, letting Maya get cozy on my lap.

"How are you, Haze? Can I call you Haze?"

"Actually everyone back home used to call me that. And I'm doing fine. You?"

" Oh good good. " I looked down to see Maya's breathing slower and steady. Awww she had fallen asleep on me!

"She didn't get much sleep last night. Had a slight cold." Hazel informed me, standing up to get Maya but I shrunk back.

" I'll get her. "

Hazel's bedroom was probably like a walk down memory lane for her. The walls were completely filled with photos. Some in frames , some Polaroids stuck here and there. A single line of fairy lights went around the room, illuminating all the memories. It was beautiful. And so very fucking Tumblr.

I walked around the room, while Hazel tucked Maya in. Pictures of Hazel with friends at parties, at the pool, at some camp with tents around her. She looked so genuinely happy. There were some of her with who seemed to me her family. She and her mom looked so alike , it was uncanny. She had a loving family from what I could see from the photos.
