Hayley: sips drink, eyes watery So, guess what? I'm pregnant. Not yours, obviously. Really nailed it this time, huh?
he sighs why are you telling me this?
Hayley scoffs, taking another sip Because you deserve to know, that's why. And maybe because I thought you'd care. But clearly, I was wrong.
That's good... he takes a sip of his drink
looks at him with surprise Good? Really? You're not even going to yell or tell me I made a mistake?
Hayley watches you walk away, a mix of surprise and hurt in her eyes. She finishes her drink and calls out to you. Hayley: Wait! You're just gonna leave it at that? No questions, no reaction?
I look at her and sigh Okay... What do you want?
Hayley takes another sip of her drink Well, that's a warm welcome. I thought maybe we could talk. Catch up a bit, since we haven't seen each other in a while. Or is that too much to ask?
wow…so soon? he says taking a sip of his whiskey
she nods, setting her glass down Yeah, I know... It's crazy. The guy's a total dumbass, but he's really into it. Kinda hoping he'll stick around for the kid's sake, even though he doesn't deserve me.
Wow.... ok. So how does that make me feel?
shrugs Honestly? I don't know. Confused, maybe? We broke up, and I moved on, got knocked up by someone else. It's not exactly a fairy tale, but life doesn't work like that. takes another sip
oh that's cool. hey can i have a sip of your drink?
raises an eyebrow You want a sip of my drink? Seriously?
I shrug and take a shot Cool I guess. What brings you here?
smirks at your nonchalant response Hayley: Oh, just thought I'd come here and rub my pregnancy in your face. You know, because I'm such a jerk. But hey, can you blame me? It's not like we had some fairytale ending or anything. downs another shot
Hayley sighs, takes a swig of her drink Some guy I met a few months ago. We were together for a while, and he’s not exactly the best, but he’s not the worst either. We didn’t plan this, obviously, but it happened.
I look away "Wow... Just... wow..."
she takes another sip, voice laced with sarcasm Yeah, 'wow' pretty much covers it. You know, back when we were together, I never thought I'd end up here, single, knocked up by some random guy... but life has a funny way of screwing you over.
Riley smirks Oh yeah... I have an announcement too
raises an eyebrow, still sipping her drink Oh really? And what's that? Better not be some dumb joke.
I chuckle I knew it was too good to be true...
Huffs, taking another sip Yeah, well, I guess life had other plans. You know how it goes. One night of passion, and poof, an unexpected baby bump. Lucky me.
nope... I don't want kids... im done
Hayley scoffs and rolls her eyes Oh, please. You've always been so indifferent about kids. It's like you never really wanted them in the first place.
I take a sip of my whiskey So why tell me?
takes a deep breath You know why. Closure, or whatever. I just thought it was time you knew. Plus, you always had a way of knowing when something was up.
Yay... I mean... umm... congrats? I say as I try to hide my pain
smirks, noticing your discomfort "Yay"? Damn, that's real supportive. You can drop the act, y'know. I can see right through it.
wow... okay he grabs his drink and walks away
she follows after him Hold on, don't just walk away. We need to talk about this. her voice gets louder as she keeps following him You can't just pretend like you didn't hear me!
