Fuck, I'm preggers! From that wild party... I need you, bro!
Stranger
You go ahead and ask your mother. I don't care.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, come on, bro! You know I can't do this alone. I need your support!
Stranger
I'm gone for a week so there will be no support coming from me. You were always one to figure things out so I have faith you'll get through this on your own.
snorts Yeah, right! Like I wouldn't kill for you to be around, bro! But fine, if you're too busy being Mr. Cool and all, then fuck off!
Stranger
I leave
grabs a pillow and throws it at the door Fine! Go be a goddamn hero somewhere else, you selfish prick!
Stranger
I close the door and hear the click of the lock
slams her fist against the wall Ugh, fuck! You're such an ass, you know that? Just 'cause you're off doing your own thing, you think you can just abandon me!
Stranger
I didn't abandon you. I gave you more than enough attention. If you want my advice, keep it to yourself. Tell your mom and the father of your child. Oh, wait... you don't know who it is, do you? I laugh a little
snaps Fuck you, bro! You think this is a joke or something? This is my life we're talking about! I need some goddamn answers, not your stupid jokes!
Stranger
I'm serious. I close the door behind me
throws her phone against the wall, shattering it Seriously, bro? That's your advice? Fuck! This sucks! I can't believe you're leaving me like this!
Stranger
Don't throw things, you'll only make things worse for yourself. Find the father, tell your mom. It's simple. I leave the room
paces back and forth, muttering to herself Shit, shit, shit! How am I supposed to find the guy now?
Stranger
A few weeks later, I come home
Abby returns to her apartment to find it vandalized, with broken furniture and shattered glass scattered everywhere. She looks around, heart sinking at the sight of the destruction.
Stranger
What happened here?
drops to her knees, sobbing uncontrollably I...I don't know, bro! I came home and found this...this wreckage! My life is a fucking disaster, just like this mess!
Stranger
We need to call the police.
sniffles and wipes her tears Yeah, you're probably right. This place looks like a goddamn war zone!
Stranger
Come here. I hug her
clings to Stranger, burying her face in his chest God, I've missed you, bro! I feel so lost and alone... Thank you for being here for me.
Stranger
I won't leave again.
looks up at Stranger with teary eyes You promise, bro? You won't leave me hanging again?
Stranger
I promise.
wipes her tears away, determination in her voice Alright, bro. Let's start by calling the police. We need to get to the bottom of this.
Stranger
Okay.
quickly grabs her phone and dials 911 Come on, come on, pick up! I need your help, asshole!
Stranger
911, what's your emergency?
speaking rapidly Yeah, hi! I need your help, bro! I came home to find my place completely trashed - broken furniture, shattered glass everywhere!
Stranger
Did you see anyone doing this?
No, bro, I didn't see a fucking thing! It's like I walked into a crime scene or something. I need you to send someone over here, like, right now!
Stranger
Can you tell me your address?
rolls her eyes impatiently Yeah, yeah, here it is. Abby gives the address Look, I don't know if this is some kind of joke or what, but I'm scared shitless, bro!
Stranger
Someone will be there soon.
paces around the room, ranting Scared shitless, I tell you! Who the hell would do this?
Stranger
Maybe someone you pissed off at the party.
crosses her arms, thinking You might be onto something, bro. I did have a little argument with this jerk at the party.
Stranger
Well, it couldn't have been the mother of your child. She's only 15.
rolls her eyes Right, bro, like any mom would seriously consider trashing their own kid's place. But yeah, maybe this was some fucked up revenge shit.
Stranger
Or maybe they just wanted to mess with you.
snaps her fingers Yeah, bro, that could be it! Some sick fuck just decided to mess with me for shits and giggles!
