[Teagan]

"Teagan, I'm freaking out." Cj plopped on our shared bed. Putting a halt to my thoughts. I looked up at her with a questionable look. "Jaysons due in 2 1/2 months and I still haven't figured out what color to paint his room."

If you're wondering what I was thinking about. It's more look who I was thinking about. Hayes. Benjamin Hayes Grier.

"I was thinking green, but is that too stereotypical?" She questioned, facing my way.

Green was Hayes' favorite color. He always got green four-wheelers.

"Teagan? Earth to Tea-Bag?" I snapped back out of my daze to Cj waving her hand around in my face.

"Hey!" I scolded her for the name she called me, before sighing. "Shit. . . Did I do it again? I'm so sorry C-C." I sat up and re-adjusted my position, leaning against the head board.

Cj sighed ad well and shook her head, putting thr paint colors I didn't even realize she had down. "Tee, what's wrong? You've been this way for almost a full two weeks now."

"No," I protested. "We're discussing Jay's room, I'm fine. Green is nice. Have you considered tan?"

"Teagan." Cj stopped me. "Come on, you aren't going to listen or feel better if you don't spill. Talk."

I let out yet another long breathe and cleared my throat. "Well, about 2 weeks ago. Hayes told me he still has feelings for me. . ."

She looked at me for a moment before laughing. "Seriously Teagan? Tell me something I didn't already know, the kid is in love with yo-." She stopped laughing as my face fell irritated. "I'm sorry.

"It's fine. . . It's just, how could he claim that yet he left me, for Meala. . . And don't even get me started on that. How is he going to confess his love for me then go shove his tongue down her throat?" I rolled my eyes. "Anyways, I kind of went off on him and told him we're best friends. That's all we'll ever be." I sighed, rubbing my temples.

Cj pursed her lips. "Is that what you truly want?"

"Yeah. It's what I truly want."

"Are you sure?"

"Yep."

"You're sure, you're sure?"

"101% positive."

"Are you sure you're 101-."

"Ciara!" I cut her off. She raised her eyebrows and put her hands up in defense. "Lets get to the room, I like green." I leaned over her and grabbed the paint colors. "But, I actually really. . . Wow I love this wallpaper." I spoke as I showed Cj.

"I just wanted to make su- Wow that is nice." Her eyes concentrated on the sample of the wallpaper. I laughed lightly. "I think I'm going with it!"

I smiled, nodding. "Good, good. . . Anyways, where is this going anyways? Have you talked to Derek?" I asked her. She hasn't quite spoken about him lately.

"Yeah! We're actually going to set up the nursery when we get back home." She smiled as looked down at the sample.

I held my smile. My phone rung in my pocket, lowkey startling me but we won't discuss that.

Matthew Espinosa

My eyebrows furrowed and I quickly sat up, tucking my hair behind my ear. "Hey C, my mom's calling. I'm going to step out."

She nodded, looking at more paint samples. "Okay, Tee."

I looked at her one more time before heading out the door and sliding the answer button. "Hello?"
