The Drug In Me Was You

Chapter 11

Seeing as though my work had called me early this morning, startling the hell out of me. And might I add ruining my perfect slumber, they said I had a bust schedule coming up here pretty soon. More interviews, and they needed a couple articles needed. Which I was more than pleased to do, but right at the moment I wasn't to thrilled to leave Austin. I mean we may not be back in my life for good, like permanently mine, but he's here.

With the busy schedule I had dawning upon me, I had to make sure Fallon had someone to watch her while I was off doing my 9 to 5. I knew Alan could do it, but she isn't he responsibility, she's mine. He said he didn't mind, and I also got scolded about Austin spending the night, and how I'm acting immature. But I simply shrugged him off, he isn't my father so he doesn't need to worry about it. After considering daycares, I finally decided to ask my mom.

"Hello?"
"hey mom."
"Oh hi honey, how are you today?"
"I'm okay, I have a question for you."
"Okay, I'm listening."
"Okay, well, I have to go back to work and I'm going to be pretty tied up with everything, I was just wondering if Fallon could possibly come spend like the week with you?"
"That's fine, I miss my little lady bug, so you want me to come get her later, say 2? Yeah?"
"Yes, that's fine. Thank you Mommabear, I love you."
"I love you too sweetheart, take care."

Since that was taken care of, I looked at my disaster of an apartment. God damn you Alan, learn to pick up after yourself, I thought. I started cleaning and lost track of time. Soon my mom was knocking on the door and her and Fallon were off. Alan said he had to go meet some girl, and Austin? Well he was no where in sight, he slipped out this morning. Without saying a word.

I thought that was sort of odd of him, but I didn't care. I knew Austin like the back of my hand, but sometimes he never seizes to amaze me. He's unpredictable in every aspect.

I was sprawled out on my kitchen floor singing a pierce the veil song, eating grapes and laughing to myself. I felt good, and I didn't know why. Was it because he was back in my life? Was it because I was gaining my youth back? Even though I wasn't that old to begin with, but my high school years are happening again, and as much as I hated high school, senior year changes my life.

I nearly choked on the grape in my mouth when loud banging came to more door. I stood up, dusting my self off, I probably looked horrid and someone's here. I trudged over to the door and opened it, Gielle came in running past me. Oh shit... Did she know? Well she crying, she probably would've punched me square in the face if she did know.

"Just come in..." I whispered, annoyed.

"Phoenix, what am I gonna do?" She sobbed on my couch.

But what puzzled me was why is she in my apartment right now?

"About what?" I sat down opposite of her.

"I'm pregnant." She sobbed again.

"Oh..." I nodded, a little mad.

"And it's not Austin's." She whispered, into her hands.

Nice, that's fucking brilliant. I wanted to laugh, but I contained it. Barely. I didn't even know what to say to her. Was I supposed to console her? Feel sorry? Say everything would work out? When I didn't want it too.

"Gielle, everything happens for a reason." I mustered up.

"He's going to hate me." She said in a shaky voice.

"Well, maybe things will work out, let's go talk to him yeah?" I encouraged, and she reluctantly nodded.

I helped her walk back over to my door, because apparently she couldn't stand steadily on her own, she was really this shook up over her mistake. Well, maybe we shouldn't open our legs for every guy walking by. I laughed internally at my comment. I was a horrible person, mere evil. Once I got her through their apartment, I heard a very familiar grunting noise. What the fuck was Austin doing?

I opened their bedroom door, and saw a sight I never expected to see.

Skylar.
