L A U R A N C E ' S P O V

I felt my stomach turn, a deep feeling of regret bubbling in my system. 'What do you regret?' you may ask. Well, I regret ever mentioning anything about loving someone.

As some say, the cat caught my tongue. I opened my mouth to say something, nothing coming out. My brain couldn't muster the proper words to say.

It was as if I was frozen (which I was) and had no control over personal mobility. Luckily, I was saved once Garrroth's phone buzzed. The situation seemed to fade from his mind as he picked up the phone, his neutral expression dropping as he read a text.

"What is it, buddy?" I ask the blonde, curious to why he looks so sad. Garroth gulped, handing me his fancy smancy iPhone 6 plus (I have no idea why people need those big phones).

My eyes scanned over the text that caused his phone to sound, my heart breaking for my best friend.

. . .

Friend.

Never mind. Don't think about it and just don't pay attention to it, 'kay?

   Heheh, yea.

   Moving on! I bet you're probably wondering about what he got on his phone.

   Well, it was a text from the one and only Aphmau. Well. . . More of a picture actually (excuse my wording of 'well' two times--- no! Three times now).

   It was obviously an accidental text, seeing as it was a picture of her and Aaron. Luckily, she apologized and explained afterwards, but that didn't ease Garroth's sudden pain.

   Aphmau:

Aphmau: guess who's going to be an aunt!!

  (A/N: ignore her crying kay and ignore that aaron's made out of pencil and-- jUst FOCUS ON HER STOMACH KAY??)

   Aphmau: OMG! Garroth, I'm so sorry!

    Aphmau: that was supposed to be to Kawaii~Chan I'm sorry !!!

   Just seeing the picture sent chills down my spine and caused sympathy to rush through my veins.

   The sudden wave of emotions that came over me caused my hand to rest on Garroth's shoulder assuringly, "It's ok--" I start in assurance, but get cut off abruptly.

   "It's not ok!" Garroth proclaims, "It's not simply 'okay'! That was supposed to me MY baby. MY baby. Not his!"

   This caused me to flinch, my hand pulling back swiftly. I blink for a moment, staring at him blankly.

   "What?" Garroth starts, "Do you have something to say?" He questions, "Say it!"

   I gulp as the blonde stares at me furiously, despite him not having anything to be mad about regarding myself.

   "Nothing." I squeak quietly, it sounding as if a small peep came out of my mouth instead of an actual word, "I have nothing to say. . ."

   Garroth sighs audibly, "But what can you do?" He questions, a stout laugh exiting his mouth, "Your ex has a baby with the man she left you for and sends you a picture of a pregnant version of herself. Lovely! Bloody lovely!"

   He had a point. I remained silently, frankly having nothing to say. There was nothing I could do or say to make him feel better or to ease his nerves. Absolutely nothing.

   "It'll get better." I muster. Garroth's anger depletes, his ocean blue eyes looking into my pale blue one's, "If you say so. . ." He replies.

A/N: sorry for the short chapter !! I thought that was a good way to end it ;^;

Oh yea. I've been watching A Series Of Unfortunate Events on Netflix. I recommend it, really. It's good •_• ~Car
