I awoke the next morning to the brutal glare of the sun. Seth was still asleep so I tried my best to be quiet as I got up out of bed. I didn't want to talk to him right now, in fact, I didn't want to talk to anyone. I just wanted to pretend that yesterday had never happened, that it was all just a dream.
Walking in the bathroom I saw a girl looking back at me that more resembled a zombie than a human. My skin appeared to be an almost greyish in color, my eyes were cold showing no emotion whatsoever. Evidence of my night spent crying showed under my eyes. Turning the shower on mostly cold water I stepped in almost grateful for the shock the coldness gave me.
Once out I brushed my hair up in its usual messy bun and changed into a pair of black leggings and the shirt that I had stolen from Seth all those nights ago. Sliding into my flip flops I headed down the hall to make some coffee. I needed to stick to my routine, of course being up at 7 am was nowhere in my routine.<
Watching Seth walk out of my apartment door was hard. I'd seen him go before but this time things were different. This time I felt as if he was taking part of me with him, in a way he was, he was taking my heart with him. I halfway wanted to run behind him and tell him I changed my mind about coming but I refused to get in between him and his son.Walking to my room I paused as I saw my What to Expect When Expecting book. More or less shoving it into my dresser I sunk back into my bed and pulled the covers up around me. My phone dinged and I debated about even looking to see who it was.Curiosity got the better of me so I plucked my phone off the nightstand opening it up seeing it was Seth. I couldn't help the small grin that crossed my lips as I read, "miss you already." I replied back sending him a kissy face and telling him I missed him too.I didn't know what to do now that he was gone. I really didn't want to do anything but lay in bed and
My flight landed a little after 2 pm, grabbing my bags I headed out texting Seth to find out where he had parked. The moment I saw him I couldn't help the grin that popped on my face. He looked tired and I was sure having his son with him for a week wore his ass down. Walking up to him he took my bag throwing it in his trunk before pulling me into his arms.As he hugged me I buried my face into his chest inhaling his scent. I know it sounds cliche but I loved the smell of him, the combination of his cologne and weed was intoxicating. "I missed you," I said barely above a whisper.Seth looked down catching my lips, "you know all that you had to do was call and I would have flown you down."I nodded, "I know, I needed time." He looked at me with concern but I shrugged him off going to open my side of the car. He followed behind me opening his door and sliding in cranking the car. "Can we stop and get something to eat? I'm kind of hungry."Seth looked over a
After a month of arguments, disagreements, going back and forth about what I wanted to do I found myself telling Brooke bye. She had been prepared for my moving, more so than I was. I had been afraid that she would be upset even though she had warned me that Seth would ask but she had told me that her job had offered her a spot in California and the only reason she wasn't going to accept it was because she didn't want to leave me.Seth had hired people to pack and move my stuff so all I really had to worry about was packing a few days' worth of clothes. It shouldn't have been hard to decide what I needed immediately but it was. A lot of it was nerves, I didn't know how I felt about actually living with Seth. It was a big step, a big step that I didn't know if he was ready for. Part of me felt like he had only asked me to move in with him to try and make up for the way he had acted during my short-lived pregnancy. The other part had no clue what he was doing.Walking in
Living with Seth wasn't all that I had assumed it would be. For starters, I had been living with him for a month and he had only been home maybe 7 days of it. He had just made it home tonight and we were already into it. It had been an entire two days since I had heard a word from him and tonight he just came climbing in the bed thinking I was just going to roll over and bend to his will.I had already been in a bad mood. As much as I told myself I needed to I had never told my parents that I had moved in with Seth. TMZ broke that for me. Fucking jerks, their timing had been horrible. I don't know what else to say about them. I mean I hadn't even seen Seth for over a week when they show an old picture of us from that basketball game I had gone to with him and start talking about my moving to Florida to be with him.My mom hadn't taken the news well at all, and to be honest the more she talked the more I understood some of her frustration. She wasn't mad anymore about t
Seth had become super nice to me after that fight in his office, it was kinda annoying really. I had ended up agreeing to go with him to New Orleans even though I really didn't want to. Even now as I sat on the living room couch doing my work he was sitting beside me watching tv. I wanted to ask him to go somewhere else, to give me some space but he seemed to think that the more he was around me the less mad I would be at him.We had talked more that next day and it was clear that I didn't trust him as far as I could throw him but I also believed him when he said he was trying. Our fight only brought around sex and although amazing it solved nothing. Sex was his way of making up and hoping the problem went away on its own.Glancing at the time I sighed saving my work and setting my computer down on the coffee table in front of me. We had about an hour before we would have to leave for the airport and my bag wasn't even halfway packed, in fact, it was still sitting open i
The next morning I awoke with a groan as Seth rolled over me to grab his phone and hit snooze on his alarm. I was already regretting telling him I would go to the skate park with him. I mean yes, I wanted to see him skate, mostly so I could make fun of him, but I also wanted to sleep. I loved sleep almost more than I loved him.Snuggling into Seth's chest I tried my best to go back to sleep but his phone was soon blaring again. "Ugh, why do we have to be there so early."Seth laughed kissing my forehead, "It's not even that early, it's 9:30."I looked up at him, "exactly, I don't like to get up until 11."Seth shook his head at me as he sat up, "come with me to take a shower. I'll wake you up."Snorting I shook my head as I pulled the covers over my head, "don't you ever think of anything else?"Seth crawled over me getting out of bed, once up he reached down jerking the covers off of me, "come on baby girl get up or we will be late."
I had never been a fan of plane rides but this one seemed to take an eternity. Since I didn't have any bags it didn't take me long to find Brooke who was waiting for me with open arms. I could tell she had been up all night but even so, I'm sure she looked better than me. I was still in my dress and heels from the club and I already knew my makeup looked a hot mess. Brooke didn't blink an eye as she hugged me and led me to her car.Our ride to her condo was made in silence, she knew I needed time and I would talk to her when I was ready. It took over a week for me to be able to talk to her about Seth. A week of torturous silence from his end. Brooke had gone above and beyond getting what she had called my necessities. In fact, she had gotten so much stuff I didn't have to buy anything for weeks.It had taken me almost three month to begin to pick up the pieces of my broken life. I wanted nothing to do with anything Seth, each and every day that passed I grew angrier and
I'm sure I looked ridiculous hiding under my covers like a child but in my bed, I could pretend that I had dreamed him up. I finally convinced myself to get up and put my pajamas back on. I had already twisted my hair up and was on my way to remove my makeup when I heard beating on my door. Not knocking but beating, like the fucking police were outside. I tiptoed in my hallway looking down the hall at my door, it seemed further away from normal like in those dreams where no matter how far you run it's still just as far away.My legs shook as I slowly made my way forward, I was scared to look through my peephole to
