Sitting in Angel Square at 8:00 PM was not something Destiny made a habitat of it, especially not with a sleeping toddler in a stroller. But balancing being a mother and having a job was no easy task, and not wanting to take advantage of the people who offered to help left her with making sacrifices. But she can't say that every foot step that clicked by didn't have her on high alert. Flashes of a Wild Marty Saybrooke pulling a gun out on her with a little Liam in her clutches, sent chills down her spine. Especially when she thinks that she was pregnant with Drew and didn't even know it. Destiny looks down at Drew and he's sleeping away, a blanket Mrs. B had given him tucked all the way under his chin because Destiny wouldn't take any chances with him catching a cold. Destiny checks her phone again, 8:05 and Jeffery's running late. She said she'd meet him anywhere to give him the ads she'd fallen behind on finishing after this hectic week of School work, work, and Drew apparently wanting to run around at different given hours. Fast paced footsteps approach and Destiny jumps, jerking the stroller a bit as a instant reaction. An older guy who looks to be in his late 30's comes running by, with headphones in. He doesn't give Destiny or Drew a second glance, and Destiny's heart stops racing, but Drew begins whining having been awoken by the sudden movement of his stroller. Destiny's sighs, her silly nerves had woken him up.

"Hey buddy Mommy's sorry, I'm just a little jumpy" Destiny whispers bending down infront of Drew's stroller fixing his blanket that had slid down a bit.

"Jump…JUMP!" Drew takes her words literal, and thinks he's been awaken from his nap for playtime.

"No…Drew not jump…."

"MATTHEW BUCHANAN YOU'RE SUCH A CHEATER!"

"HA HA! YOU'RE JUST A SORE LOSER" Destiny glances up only to see Dani and Matthew goofing off, Dani's in small Gym shorts and a hoodie and Matthew's in a Sweatshirt and track pants. Destiny grimaces thinking of the last time she saw them. Destiny hopes maybe they won't see her, she isn't in the mood for Matthew's shit and to be perfectly honest seeing Matthew especially with Dani always sorta stings. Even if they are just "bestfriends/roomates", Matthew can't even stand the sight of her yet anytime Dani walks in his face lights up, the way it used to when they were in school and they'd go a whole day without seeing each other and he'd roll into gym. It'd be like they'd just survived an apocalypse and were the last two survivors just happy to see one another. That's how they were the two outcasts who only had each other, who totally understood each other among a sea of fake and Phonies. But that was back when they were kids, before Darren, Before Dani, and Before ….Drew.

"JUMP!" Drew's booming voice takes Destiny's out of her thoughts and she quickly turns away, rising to her feet quickly hoping neither Matthew nor Dani heard or recognized them in the Dark. She begins standing to push Drew's stroller.

"DESTINY?!" Destiny's eyes shut at the sound of Dani's voice knowing they've been spotted Destiny sighs. She feels a bit guilty because Dani's her friend, a really close friend and her issues with Matthew aren't Dani's fault. She turns around with a smile plastered across and tries to push down any thoughts she had earlier down. Destiny can't help but glance Matthew's way despite herself and he looks about as happy to see her and Drew as she is to see him. But that isn't a surprise it's sort of an everyday thing with Matthew nowadays. Dani's comes jogging over and Matthew drags behind, with a frown on his face.

"Hey Dani….What are you two doing out here" Destiny doesn't really want to know, she feels like the less she knows the better it'll be for everyone involved. But it's the only thing that comes to mind.

"Oh Me and Matthew…uh…we weren't really…we were just" Dani's begins to get flustered and stammering over her words looking to Matthew for guidance as if she'd be caught robbing a bank and not simply asked a question.

"Um..we were just out for a run, Dani though she could beat me. But I totally kicked her butt" Matthew teases sticking his tongue out.

"Oh please Buchanan you totally cheated! I had you and then you pulled that cheap shot" And just like that it's like Destiny and Drew aren't even there. Destiny kind of just scoffs quietly to herself wondering if they turned and walk away if they'd even notice. Matthew hadn't even acknowledged Drew's presence.

"Can-in, Can-in" Drew suddenly saids, grabbing everyone's attention.

"Hey what's he even doing out here this late" Matthew saids with an attitude now acknowledging the toddler infront of him.

"I'm waiting for someone from work and it was a last minute thing. Their running late I didn't expect to be out here this late. Not that it's really any of your business"

"And what my parents or your Parents couldn't take him for the night. While you took care of "work" I mean it's like 8' o clock at night. What are you thinking" Destiny doesn't know if it's the snotty way he saids and adds air quotes around the word work that pisses Destiny off but just like that Destiny's on the defensive, it's mind-blowing how someone who doesn't want anything to do with her or THEIR son can have so much judgment to pass.

"NO MATTHEW! They couldn't Drew's been over your Parents house so much he practically lives there, My parents are trying to enjoy retirement and I'M SORRY IF BEING A SINGLE-MOTHER AND HAVING TAKE CARE OF "WORK" TO PAY THE BILLS AND TAKE CARE OF MY SON MAKES ME A TERRIBLE MOTHER"

"Des calm down, I don't think he meant it like that. It's just pretty late. Why couldn't Jeffery meet you at your place or you meet you at ours?"

"Because DANI I barely know Jeffery and I'm not just letting some strange guy into my house, where me and my son stay, and there's no telling WHAT KIND OF WILD PARTY I MIGHT WALK IN ON AT CASA MATTHEW/DANI" Destiny snaps and Dani kind of flinches at the implication, and Destiny might feel bad if she didn't feel like two people who she cared about deeply were frowning down on her. And she lashes out because she really just wants to cry, but she can't because….because instead Drew does.

"Oh Great thanks a lot" Destiny huffs picking Drew up along with Blanket trying to wrap it around as she rocks him.

"Hey little man, we're sorry about all the racket" Matthew apologizes wrapping the blanket over him, as Destiny rocks him. Drew's cries subside and he kind of regards Matthew with a strange look on his face. Matthew looks at the sight, really looks at it Destiny with his little boy in her arms his big brown eyes puffy and her consoling him and he smiles. It's really so beautiful and terrifying all at the same time. And even though he can't manage the words to tell her, he's amazed at Destiny's strength how she can be so unafraid, when all he is afraid. Drew blinks back some tears and turns his head away from Matthew as if he were never there latching onto his mother for comfort and safety. And Matthew kind of deflates and takes a step back.

"Look I'm sorry for snapping at you guys, it's just really late and I need to get these Ad's in and Jeffery was supposed to meet me here. And he's not here, and I hate Angel square especially at night, especially with Drew with me. And I wish I didn't have to be out here but I just really needed to give these Ad's to Jeffery by tonight. But I'm calling it a night Drew's tired and I'm tired. I'm just going to go" Destiny sighs turning around and carefully placing a now dozing off Drew back into his stroller, tucking the blanket right back under his chin.

"Hey, um If you want we can give Jeffery the Ad's for you. I Mean he probably just go tied up with some work thing and lost track of time. But he has to come home sometime" Matthew offers and he feels like a total dick, which is pretty much how he feels anytime he get's around Destiny. She looks at him with a look as if she's unsure; to take this small gesture and he can't blame her. Her big brown eyes the same as Drew's giving him a strange look like she's unsure whether or not to trust him. He's not sure if it hurts more coming from his son or the girl who was once like his other half. But it hurts, that once he'd jump literally in front of a bullet for her in Angel square and now she doesn't even know if she can trust him with stupid Ad's for The Banner. But he can't blame anyone but himself.

"DESTINY!" Jeffery's exasperated voice comes running towards the group who all shush him, stopping him from waking Drew back up. And he glances down, his face falls.

"Dude where the hell have you been?! She's been waiting out her for you FOREVER?!" Matthew saids in harsh yet low tone.

"I'm sorry I didn't know she'd have Drew."Saids Towards Matthew then kind of blinks confused as to why he's apologizing to Matthew, he turns to Destiny . "I didn't know you'd have Drew I never would have asked you to meet me here if I'd had known. God I was working on this online edition to show Vickie and I totally lost track of time. And god I really didn't know you'd have Drew I'm so sorry. I really am." Destiny opens her mouth to tell him where he can stick that apology. But she's not really upset with Jeffery and how could she when he's so handsome and so sweet, well she can and she is but mostly she's just tired. She's just tired and so is Drew. Destiny turns digging in her purse for the flash drive and she hands it over .

"All of the Ad's are on there, I have to get Drew home like now" And with that she turns to leave.

"Atleast let me take you guys home" Jeffery offers.

"Don't worry about it I don't live far and besides you don't probably have a car seat anyway. Why would you right?" Destiny gives an exhausted laugh.

"I can walk you guys" Matthew offers and Destiny hesitates, and despites herself smiles, but when she turns around, she isn't anymore.

"It's okay I'm sure from here to my house there won't be any crazed gun-wielding baby snatchers" Destiny's not sure that's funny but Matthew smiles anyway.

"That's not funny" He adds with a chuckle, he's the only one that get's it while Dani and Jeffery look horrified by the suggestion.

"Yeah I know" Because it's not funny. It's not funny how they're standing in the exact same spot but some much has changed. Destiny turns and pushes the stroller out of Angel square.
