A beautiful woman walks past you and Al, as you wait at the bus stop for the bus. You turn to a staring Alex.

"Do you think she's pretty?" you ask casually. You were feeling particularly bitchy today. He turns to you cautiously.

"No," he laughs.

"You don't have to lie" you reply. He laughs again.

"Darcy, I don't think shes pretty. Not my type" he dismisses her.

"What is your type then?" you quiz him.

"You" he says, smiling. You roll your eyes tiredly.

"Okay, what about that girl?" you ask, pointing subtly to a girl across the street.

"For God's sake, Darce. No" he replies irritably. "Whats with your constant need of attention?" he mutters.

"I'm just asking" you reply. He sighs.

"Bus is here" he says, nodding to the oncoming bus. You step on when if arrives and sit on the back seat with Al. It had been a week since you feasted on the bacon, and you had argued three times since then. Mostly about petty little things, such as who was doing the dishes. You were sour with each other at the moment.

"What're you gonna buy from town?" you ask. He shrugs.

"I thought we were just getting lunch" he admits. You sigh sourly.

"Fucking hell, do you ever listen?" you mutter under your breath. He scowls at you.

"Don't be a moody bitch for once" he says.

"Arguments? Again? We're going for lunch with your mum so if you don't pipe the fuck down I'll take the damn emergency exit hammer and slam it across your face" you spit.

"Go ahead" he says, looking out the window moodily.

"I can't cos your Mum would kill me, and I like your mum" you reply.

"Will you shut up? You're giving me a fucking headache" he responds childishly. You were both being very childish, picking on eachother. You were moody because you were on your period and Alex was moody because he couldn't play guitar and he was exhausted as his insomnia was getting worse. His insomnia was resulting in good song writing though. You were both bitter and you loved eachother loads still, but things were just rocky at the moment. Right?

"We're getting off here" you mumble to Alex as the bus stops in town. Alex gets up and gets out the bus without waiting, you hurry after him.

"Yeah just fuck off without me then" you say as you catch upto him. He grunts in response.

"Let's just find my mum alright?"
