Jack

Taylor and I have gotten very close over the past month, and I was always smiling around the whole school now. Alex hasn’t been in my mind that often, hell, he hasn’t been in my mind at all after the first week of moping around. Thanks to Austin, Alan, and Taylor, I was back to my normal self before the British boy even came to this school, no, I was happier than ever. I had more friends that actually wanted to be friends with me instead of using me for whatever they wanted. I admit, it was kinda harder to get over Alex than it was with my other ex’s, but I’m glad I am finally passed that part in my life. Honestly, it made me a stronger person than I was before hand.

Taylor and I walked hand-in-hand, swinging them back and forth to my locker, laughing like the idiots we are. I released my friends hand and put in my locker code, opening it out and seeing two little pieces of paper fall out onto the ground. Taylor picked up one, and I picked up another. The one I picked up was a note, so I quickly read it, I looked up at Taylor confused and she handed me the other paper. It was a little picture of the baby that was currently inside of my ex boyfriend. I smiled a bit, it was a black and white picture, and not even my child, but it was kinda cute.

I showed the note to Taylor, not really knowing what to do. “So, what are you thinking?” She asked me, as she handed the note back to me.

“I don’t know. He wants to be friends, and he wants to meet at the tree out by the track field at lunch, which is now. What do you think I should do?” I questioned as I shut my locker again.

“I think you should at least go talk to him. Put everything in the past, and who knows, maybe you can actually be friends.” She commented, taking my hand in her’s and swinging it around again. I laughed and nodded my head.

“Okay, but you have to come with me. That’s the only way I’ll do it.” She laughed as well and agreed to tag along. We walked down the halls together, going out the back door to the gym and out to the track field. I could see the teal haired boy sitting under the tree, staring down at the phone in his lap. I sighed and we walked over to him. “You wanted to talk?” I questioned when we reached him. He looked to the side and saw us standing there, he looked a little uneasy noticing that Taylor was with me, but I honestly didn’t care about that right now, she was my friend and I wanted her to come with me.

“I-uh, yeah. Guessing you got the note, right?” He questioned. I nodded my head and Taylor and I took a seat about a foot in front of him. “What did you think of the picture?”

“He’s cute. Have you come up with a name yet?”

“I don’t know if Oli wants to help name him, but I kinda like the name Phoenix Gilbert Gaskarth.” He said with a slight smile. Before we dated, and when we were dating, that smile made me feel all fuzzy inside, but now I felt nothing.

“That’s a pretty outgoing name. I like it. Any thought behind it? Like, how did you come up with it?” I asked as my friend cuddled to my side and I put my arm around her shoulders, chuckling a bit.

“You know the band Fall Out Boy?”

“Yeah, love them. All four of us, Austin, Alan, Taylor and I are going to their show in a week.”

“Oh, that’s awesome. I didn’t know they were playing anywhere near here.” He said shocked a bit.

“Yeah, they are playing about an hour away from here. Anyways, the baby name?”

“Oh yeah. I came up with his first name after their song, The Phoenix, and his middle name kinda was just a spur of the moment thing, y’know?”

“I honestly think it’s a great name. Congrats Alex.” Taylor said with a smile from my side.

“Thanks Taylor.”

“What the fuck is going on here?!?” I heard someone spit out. I looked up and saw Oliver standing there, face as red as a tomato.
