everybody talks [COMPLETED]

four

"i'm pregnant."

"you're WHAT? we haven't even..."

"it's not yours and i'm extremely sorry. this baby is just everything i've ever wanted and i knew i couldn't get it from you, so i went to another source."

"whose is it?" i questioned calmly. i wasn't trying to conjure a fight because at this point, our relationship was more than done with; currently being cut up with my mental machete.

"alex. it's alex band's child."

"your ex?"

"yeah, my ex."

"well, uh, i'm happy for you. it's good that you got something that you've craved for months."

"you are?" she interrogated confusedly. her eyes lit up in a way that displayed joy and i could tell a lot of stress was relieved from her internal mindset.

"why wouldn't i be?"

"i don't know. i'll get my stuff ready and settle at janelle's until alex and i get situated somewhere and somehow."

"are you sure you want to leave?"

"in all honesty, i knew this relationship was never going to work. i think you are in denial of something. i also think that you aren't infatuated with me like i am with you. i still love you, but i know that i'd hurt myself inside every day knowing that i live here in a basically platonic way. goodbye, mikey," she explained before departing, giving me a brief kiss on the cheek.

i walked downstairs to frank and gerard's current area and sat down without a word.

"that was quick," frank commented.

"hm," was the only thing i could say right now. i didn't feel like explaining things and i could tell that even if something did happen, they wouldn't want to listen.
