Recap!!!!!!
"Let me put my shoes on first, yeah?" He ruffled her hair and put his shoes on. She didn't even let him tie them up before she yelled once more

"Okay bye!" she slammed the door closed and ran up to me and Russel

Stuart's pov:

Wha- That was weird...

I made my way to the start of the side walk and looked around. Shit. How am I gonna get to the grocery store from here?

I took my phone out of my pocket and looked up the nearest store. It was 45 minutes away...

"This better be worth it." I mumbled as I started walking. Luckily, I always carried my earbuds with me so I put them in my ears and started my music.

"Hmm mm mm" I started humming as I walked, kicking rocks and looking down at the cracks in the sidewalk. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around quickly. No one was there so I turned back.

There she was. Standing right in front of me... my ex girlfriend 'Paula'.

"Holy shit. Paula?" I muttered under my breath as she wrapped her arms around me.

"Oh my gosh. What are the odds, Stuart!" She let go and kissed me on the cheek before continuing.

I feel like I've seen her before... well, obviously I have but... I feel like I've seen her recently somewhere.

I furrowed my eyebrows and tried to remember when she pulled me by the wrist. "C'mon! We have to catch up" She giggled and pushed me in her car.

"Paula, I cant right now... I-I have to go-" I tried getting out of the car but the door wouldn't budge "Really Paula? The child lock?" I looked at her while she started up the car.

"Can't have you leaving! Again" she whispered the last word and took off.

The last time I saw her was when I walked into our bedroom. There she was, naked, on top of another man... I packed my shit and left right after. That's when I met Murdoc. He didn't care that my eyes looked the way they did. I think he loves me... But I don't know. Maybe the first time he said it was out of pity.

My thoughts were cut off and we were pretty much already at our old apartment. She still lives here?

"You still live here" I said, more a statement than a question.

"Duh! I know this sounds dumb but... I was hoping that one day if you wanted to find me again... I'd be here... waiting" She walked up the the kitchen table and poured me a glass of wine. She's right. It did sound dumb.

I sat down on the couch."I don't drink anymore, Paula. Only the occasional beer now and then..." I only drank beer because of Murdoc but I didn't mind it.

"Oh... Well that's fine. We can do better things than drink!" She walked over seductively to where I was sitting. She crawled on top of me and sat in my lap, straddling my thighs and clasping her hands around my neck.

"I've missed this, Stu!" she said as she admired my features

"You cheated on me. That was your decision but I'm not gonna fall for you tricks anymore. I'm sure you miss that other guy too, huh?" I lightly took her hands off my neck and pushed her off.

"Stuart it was a one time thing! A mistake! I haven't been with anyone since we broke up I swear! I love you and I missed you so much" She flung her head in her hands and started sobbing. She really was quite the actor but a part of me felt bad...

"It's been like 5 years, Paula..." I scratched at my neck before continuing "And I don't like you in that way anymore..." I stood up and walked towards the door. She trapped my wrist and pulled me

"HOW DARE YOU! I've done EVERYTHING for you! No one will ever love you the way I did!" She screamed as she got on her tippy toes to look at me.

"Murdoc does" I mumbled under my breath before trying to open the door

"Murdoc?" She looked up at me with wide eyes. "That's a guys name right?" she scoffed right before laughing

"What, Paula?" I rolled my eyes. "Is it illegal for a guy to fuck another guy?" I added while crossing my arms.

"How long have you been together?" She asked

"Erm... technically we're not together" I added while looking at my feet.

"Good! Because I'm pretty sure I fucked him like yesterday!" She laughed a sinister laugh and flipped her hair. "Have fun though! You know... convincing him to not fuck everyone he ever meets" she laughed once more.

"Murdoc would never do that... not with you..." I just wanted to leave.

"Oh yes he did! He was really good too" she winked and flipped me off while staring at the tv. "Have fun with your new 'boyfriend' you fag!"

I walked out of the apartment and down the steps. How the hell do I process this. I still need to go to the grocery store..

~~time skip~~

I walked into the supermarket and stood in a corner before pulling out the list.

list for stu!
~ Fresh peaches
~ Assortment of ears
~Freshly squeezed blah blah blah
~ I don't know! Just get whatever you want.

Take your time!
-Noodle <3

I have no clue why they sent me on a mission to get groceries when they had nothing in mind... Seems like a put up job.

I walked through the isles, mesmerized by almost everything.

"Wow! A whole isle dedicated to cookies!" I ran up the isle and was greeted with sweets of all kinds. I grabbed a lot full and threw it in the cart.

"Hello! Do though need any help sir" The woman smiled up at me

"Do you have..." I though for a moment, not wanting to waste this opportunity. I got to ask this woman for anything in the store? So cool!

"Zombie movies!" I yelled

She giggled and showed me to this red box "Here! They have a whole bunch. I recommend 'Evil Dead'. It's technically not a zombie movie but... it does the trick!" She laughed and walked off.

Now... How do I figure this out?

After a few minutes of fidgeting with the weird red box, I walked out of the store after paying and hauled the bags back home.

I hope they wanna watch a movie when I get there!


***ik that adding the paula situation was kinda pointless but I swear it will play into the storyline in one of the next few chapters ;)***
