My life is a fast track, sometimes I don't realize whats happening, until it's too late. Like this morning, hearing my supposed to be roommate is moving in with his fiance. Who the fuck decides to get married at 20, shitheads in love like Ace.

"Dude I swear I told you, and its not like you didn't see it coming. You did set us up...kinda"

"Well Ace is kinda hard to prevent you from coming to my family gatherings, you are literally in love with me... and my cousin." In our high school days Ace saw himself as part of the family only a week after meeting, yet this still didn't prevent him from falling in love with my cousin. The way he gushes over her in college is even worse then high school, which is love I guess.

Ace stalked to me creepily, an attempt to be seductive,"Oh Haze, you know what we have is special and I wont let Ivy get between us," he then winks or at least attempts to

Making me wonder what Ivy sees in a guy like Ace. As of now Ivy is packing Ace's belongings, while he flirts with me, contemplating my sexuality. I surely believe Ace is the reason why I stay on one side.

I slowly come closer to Ace making sure too keep eye contact, while he looks baffled at my actions. I come close enough to where our faces are five inches away, I lift my hand and punch him in his stomach and call for Ivy.

"What the fuck man,"

Ivy comes running in, her hair in a messy bun is falling apart, dressed in her yoga pants and an old t-shirt that says 'single and ready to mingle', not sure how accurate that is anymore.

Panting from all the packing, "Some one called my na- why is Ace on the floor," automatically points her towards me. 

"He was coming on to me and to my dismay I stopped him, next time I will let him pass." she rolls her eyes at my sarcastic comment and kneels down to Ace and playfully punches him.

"Man that hurts, does hurting others run in the family or some shit like that," he starts pulling himself up and gives us a glare while waking back to his room to finish packing.

"I know all of this is out of the blue and you can't cover the expenses of this place by yourself so I putted a 'want ad' for a roommate. And there is already a person interested." she eyes me suspiciously making me aware that I'm not gonna like it. "The person will be here at 6:30, and would you look at the time, its already 5:30." she skips away leaving me to clean while she and Ace leave.

We say our goodbyes leaving me alone in this empty apartment full of memories. I act as if they are gone forever cause its easier that way, this way it was my choice to block them before they do it to me. Moving an hour away is already hard but they will want to start a family soon, pushing me away even further. They aren't gonna be ale to visit, perhaps on the holidays like all family should. But does that mean they would want to-

My phone rings pulling me out of my thoughts; I look down and see 'shithead', I consider if I should answer. Subconsciously I answer the phone, knowing I'll regret this afterward

"Dude don't scare the person who's coming over in a few, just do your thing ..wait actually don't, be better. You need the help with the rent and you aren't gonna ask your parents." I grunt after hearing his reasoning, knowing he is telling the truth since hes known me since high school.

"Are you done"

"Uh yeah I guess, kinda thought you were gonna beg for me to come back but ya know its okay"

"Bye" I close the line and go out to the balcony and enjoy the view, debating whether to open a pack of cigarettes and kill my lifespan 2 years shorter. I go to the kitchen to reach the pack, as soon as I open the cabinet where I hided it from Ace and myself; a weak knocking sound came from the door, wondering what type of guy was behind that door.
