"Can you stop pacing? You're making me nervous." Emma said, looking up at me from her spot on the floor.
"He's had longer than five minutes. I should go in there." I said, looking at the door of Melody's room.
"Just wait a minute." Grayson said, grabbing my hand. "They aren't yelling, which means they are probably talking everything out. Come sit down."
"I swear if he touches one single hair on her head I'm going to catch a case." I said, scratching my arm aggressively, something I tend to do when I'm angry.
"You're not going to have to beat anyone up." Melody said, walking out of her room with Kamden following behind her. I studied her face to see if she had been crying or anything and it didn't seem like she had.
"Well I'm going to go. My mom is waiting for me in the rental car." Kamden said, walking out from behind her and out of the living room.
"How'd it go?" Emma asked Melody for me.
"Fine I guess. I'm actually just going to go take a nap."
"Do you need anything? Any request for supper?" I asked, not really knowing what else to do.
"Can you make baked spaghetti? And your homemade garlic bread?" She asked, her voice very soft.
"Yeah. I'll have to go to the grocery store but it should be ready when you get up from your nap."
"Alright." She nodded and walked into her room, shutting the door behind her.
I stood up from the couch and walked towards the kitchen so I could see what I needed to pick up from the store.
"E, Emma. You guys want to stay for food?" I only asked them because Grayson had already planned on staying later.
"Thanks for the offer but I've actually got somewhere to go here soon." Emma answered after a pause.
"Umm Yeah. I think I'm just going to head home." Ethan said. "I've got to, um, do some laundry."
I didn't turn around and look at them but I did narrow my eyebrows together.
"I fucking called it." I mumbled under my breath.
"Dude. When have you ever done laundry in your life?" Grayson asked. I had to laugh just a little.
"Whatever. I've just got to go. Bring me some leftovers when you come home?"I could hear him standing up and shuffling his way towards the front door. "Bye Madison."
"Bye E." I mumbled, writing Prego on my hand beside pasta.
"Alright, I'm going to go ahead and go." Emma said after waiting a few minutes after Ethan left. "I may come over and get some food when I get back."
"Bye Em. Make sure you use a condom." I mumbled while also writing bread on my hand.
"I'm not...what makes you think...I have a very important thing I have to do, I'll have you know." She said, stuttering over her words.
"I wasn't born yesterday Emma." I said looking up from the fridge right at her. She held up a finger like she was going to say something but then couldn't think of anything to say so she just walked away.
I finished making my list and walked back into the living room.
"You ready to go?" I asked, sliding in my shoes that were under the edge of the couch.
"Yeah." Grayson said, turning off the tv before standing up.

"What goes good with spaghetti?" I mumbled to myself, looking at the produce isle. "I know I need to make a salad."
I grabbed all the stuff for the salad and through it in the buggy. We continued on and got all the stuff for the baked spaghetti, even dairy free cheese for my dear friends.
"Grayson what do you want?" I asked, looking at the freezer isle, trying to decide if I wanted to get chicken or beef.
"You." He said, not even skipping a beat. I rolled my eyes at him.
"I meant to eat dummy." I said, trying to look at him. He was leaned across the handle of the buggy, looking at his phone. He smirked and looked up at me.
"My answer is still valid."
"I-" How do you respond to that. "I'm trying to buy groceries here."
He laughed and looked back at his phone.
"Why do you think Ethan and Emma ran off earlier?" He asked. I grabbed a thing of chicken and threw it in the buggy. I looked at him with a straight. "What?"
"You really didn't put that together?"
"Put what together?"
"That they were going to-" I paused, trying to give him a chance to figure it out. He just looked at me for me to continue. "hook up. Go out. Something of that nature."
"With who?" He asked. I looked at him disapointingly and walked on down the aisle. "Wait? Like each other?"
"Yes Grayson."
"How long has that been going on?"
"I don't know." I said shrugging. "How long has Ethan been acting stranger than normal."
"Now that you mention it, probably like a month or two." He said. "Wait so they've seriously been like together this whole time."
"Umm, yeah." I said, walking into a line so we could be checked out.

Madison_Matthews: not too sure why there was a giant bear at the grocery store, I do know that it takes up my entire back seat though
