Alex's pov
We got to Tender Greens and ordered our food. Brennen and I sat on one side while Jake, Colby, and Logan sat on the other. "Do you guys like Tender Greens?" Brennen asked.
"I've never been here," I said quietly. I pulled out my phone and put in my earbuds leaving one out and started to listen to Brennen's music.
"Neither have I," Logan said.
"Why'd you order from the kids menu?" Jake asked Logan. She looked down into her lap.
"So, what do you want to do after we eat?" Colby asked breaking the ice.
"Die..." I mumbled. Logan glared at me from across the table. Our food arrived and we all started eating.
"No, seriously. Do you guys want to go somewhere or just go back to the house?" Colby asked again.
"I am being serious..." I mumbled.
"Alex!" Logan snapped.
"Well, I think we should all go to a movie," Brennen suggested looking at me. Everyone else nodded back at him. I didn't say anything. I knew she would forget what today was. I've felt like this every since I lost my best friend Landon. I put both my earbuds in and turn my music all the way up.
"Don't fucking snap at me, Logan," I said getting pissed off. She got out of the booth and walked to the bathroom. We were finishing our food and Logan still wasn't back.
"Do you think she's okay?" Colby asked the boys. They shrug their shoulders. I was too pissed off to even go check on her so I texted her.'LOGAN'
She didn't answer. I got up to go see if she was okay. "Logan?" I asked when I walked into the bathroom.
"Go away."
"Look, I'm sorry I got mad at you."
"It's not you," she said quietly.
"Then what's wrong?" She walked out of the stall.
"Panic attack..."
"From what?"
"It's nothing. Let's go back to the table," she says walking out of the bathroom. I walk back to the table and got on my phone to look at something. Brennen put his arm on my shoulder and asked, "Are we ready for the movie?" I look up at him.
"Yeah can we stop at the mall real quick? I need to get something."
"Of course," Brennen says smiling.
"YAY!" We all get in the car. I put my headphones back in and started listening to the Ouran High School Host Club theme and didn't realize that I had started to sing along to it. I saw Logan laughing in the front seat. She waved to Brennen signaling no.
"What?" I asked pausing my music.
"You were singing the theme song again," Logan said.
"It was actually really good," Jake said. Everyone else nodded in agreement.
I got really embarrassed, so I put my hood up and pulled the strings all the way so my hood was closed.
"No it wasn't," I said.
"Yes it was," Brennen said. We got to the movie theater and started deciding on a movie. I started to head to FYE because I was looking for a certain movie. I didn't realize someone followed me. "Watcha doin'?" Brennen asked.
I jumped a little. "Brennen you scared me. Plus I'm going to buy something," I said.
"Like what?" he asked laughing.
"I may or may not be buying the complete season of Ouran High School Host Club," I said.
"I don't know what that is."
"You've injured my anime heart and after I get it, one day you are going to watch with me. Only if you want to. I'm not trying to sound like I'm forcing you to watch it. You can do whatever you like. I was just trying to make a suggestion. Am I rambling? I feel like I'm rambling so I'm just going to shut up now." I felt embarrassed after that. He laughed a little.
"Of course I'll watch it with you," he said smiling. I smiled back as I walk in the store immediately looking for it. He followed closely behind me the whole time. I picked it up along with 'My Neighbor Totoro', the 'Chucky' movie collection, and a Breaking Benjamin CD. As we were walking to the front, I realized something.
"Fuck me and my stupid self," I mumbled.
"It's okay, love. I'll pay," Brennen said pulling out his wallet.
"Really?" I asked.
"Anything for you," he said winking.
"Thank you." I hugged him. He hugged me back and rubbed my arm. I smiled as we walked up to pay. After we got our stuff, we walked back to the movie theater. "We're back. Did you miss us."
"I know I did," Jake said. Everyone else laughed at him and we all decided on a movie.
"So we're going see Godzilla: King of Monsters?" Colby asked.
"Yes!" everyone else yelled. We got weird looks from everyone around us.
"The fuck you looking at?" I asked.
"Alex!" Logan snapped. "No," she said softly. I just rolled my eyes and sighed.
"Sorry," I said. We went and bought the tickets. We got snacks and drinks and went to get our seats.
~~~~~~time skip after the movie~~~~~~
As we were leaving the movie theater to walk around, I saw someone I didn't want to see. "Oh god. Logan can we leave?" I asked.
"Why?" I point over to where my dick of an ex was.
"That's why," I said.
"Yeah. Let's go guys," she said leading everyone out of the mall. That's until he stopped us.
"Alex, is that you?" he asked walking up to us.
"Oh god," I mumbled.
"No it's Professor McGonagall," Logan said sarcastically flipping him off. I heard Colby snicker.
"What do you want, Justin?" I asked.
"Look, I know I wasn't the greatest boyfriend ever. But, I wanted to talk to you about trying again," he said. He put his hand on my shoulder. "Please?" I could see Logan fuming.
"First off, no. Second off, you should be in jail for half the shit you did to me." Brennen furrowed his eyebrows.
"I think it's time for you to leave," Brennen said stepping in front of me. Logan was clenching her fists.
"Chill out, Princess," Justin said to Logan. Logan went at him swinging, but Colby pulled her back and held her arms around her. I started shaking from a panic attack.
"L-look can yo-you just leave al-already, Justin," I said stuttering.
"N-no I c-cant. You're mine," he said taking a step closer. Logan broke free and jumped on Justin. She began punching him. Colby pulled her off of him while Brennen hugged me. He held me against him while Jake made Justin leave, broken jaw and all. I started crying and hugged Brennen back.
"C-can we ju-just go?" Brennen pulls me towards the exit. Jake was with us helping me along, but Colby and Logan stayed behind for a bit. We got in the car and waited. I knew it would be awhile before I calmed down.
