Young folks - Peter Bjorn

Becky was placed on the scale once again.

A few weeks ago she was told by the doctors that her baby was now 12 weeks in her womb, the Irish woman was about to enter the second trimester.

The female was more nervous than ever, her belly had already begun to grow, her nausea and cravings were becoming more frequent.

Finn had asked permission for both of them to miss work that morning.

Becky had told him that she could go to her appointment alone, but the Irish man had insisted that he would go on all the appointments she would have with the doctor.

Becky sometimes felt suffocated by his best friend, she wanted a time alone, where only is her, an exquisite milkshake and her baby.

-Everything seems fine here- The doctor says checking the balance once more to then approach his desk and start writing.

Becky took that as a sign that she could get off the scales and she did, putting on her shoes and then sitting in front of the doctor's desk.

-I would recommend you buy more comfortable and less high shoes- Says the doctor without looking at her, while he kept writing.

Becky glances at her 9-centimeter shoes. She knew that at some point she would have to stop using them.

After the doctor's recommendations, the Irish woman is free to leave and of course the first thing she sees when she leaves the office is his best friend sitting in the waiting room.

They both decide it's time to go back to work.

-Finn, it would bother you if I take the day off- Ask the orange-haired woman, after a time of walking the streets of New York.

His best friend looks at her worriedly.

-Why? You feel sick? Do you want to go back to the doctor?

Becky has to endure the urge to roll her eyes.

-No, it's just... I want to spend the day alone.

The Irish man looks her up and down, it was very difficult for him to just let her go, Manhattan was not characterized by being one of the friendliest cities.

-Fine- Says the blue-eyed surrendered -But you have to be in the apartment before dark.

The Irish woman has a big smile on her face and without even saying goodbye, she turns around to start walking among the people.

-Bye- Finn says.

———————————————————————

The little blonde walks around her apartment, not knowing what to do. She didn't want to bother Becky in her work schedule and she hasn't received any messages from Eva or Maryse in a whole month.

Alexa takes her phone in hand and begins to play with it, checking her social media she ran into a photo not seen before.

''The big wedding is coming'' - said the description of the photo that made the blonde upset.

Apparently, her two best friends were planning the wedding without her.

Without losing more time, the little blonde changes her clothes for a more suitable one to go out in the streets, leaving her apartment in less than 3 minutes.

The little blonde knew exactly where they were, had recognized the restaurant in the photo, it was the same restaurant where they used to go after school.

Alexa came to the restaurant and through the walls of glass she see her two best friends laughing.

Maybe she didn't have to go in, maybe it would ruin the day of the blonde and redhead, but Alexa didn't care, it was not fair to her that they are avoiding her and excluding her from important moments.

-Why have you two been avoiding me for a month? I'm not your friend anymore? Do I have to have a boyfriend or husband to hang out with you two? - Says the little blonde with annoyance in her voice when she is in front of the table where her friends were.

Both women share distressed looks.

-I'm sorry Lexi, but you leave us with no options- Eva says standing up.

-Leave you whit no option? What shit are you talking about?- Says Alexa annoyed.

-Calm down Lexi- Eva says taking her friend by the shoulder.

-Do you want to know why?- Says the tall blonde standing in front of her, clearly annoyed -Because the only thing you do is cry and make it all about you.

Alexa looks at her confused.

-Yes, you cry all the time Lexi I can't find the right one! I'm going to die alone! Waaa!!- Maryse says imitating the voice of her friend.

The little blonde is filled with anger when she sees one of her best friends making fun of her.

-I don't talk like that...

-It's true- Eva says interrupting her.

Alexa looks at her with frown eyes.

-Don't look at me like that, what was the first thing you did when you found out I was going to get married- Says the redhead.

The little blonde was going to talk, but she regretted it.

-Exactly, you left as you always do when the conversation has nothing to do with you.

-That is not true.

-Alexa, you did almost the same thing when you found out that I was going to get married- Maryse says annoyed -All always has to be about you.

-And we are tired- Eva says looking at the floor -Lexi I hate to do this, but if you are not willing to put up with this, I don't think we should be friends.

-I agree- Says Maryse.

Alexa dosn't respond, she just stands in front of her two best friends, not knowing what to say, not wanting them to get away from her, but what they said was true and now she realized. Most of the time Alexa couldn't be in a conversation without being about her, she was hurting them without knowing it. If Alexa was Eva she would probably be screaming by now, maybe that's why no one wants her around for a long time.

-Fine- It's the only thing that the little blonde says, and then leave the restaurant.

Being outside, the female begins to walk with no directions, immersed in her thoughts.

She had never thought that people ran out because of that, Eva and Maryse were the only ones who had endured for so long.

The little blonde was not even aware of what she was doing for so long.
