There's Something About Mary
A/N: This has nothing to do with the movie once so ever, but if you read it, it might sound like it is, but trust me, I was not trying to go in that direction. I hope you like it, review cause I love to hear from ya'll.
I probably won't describe the characters that much, so I'll let you imagine what they look like. Also unlike my others this is not a John Cena love story.
Summary: She was never noticed, until he came. They got together, she got pregnant and he cheated and walked out. Now he's back and wants to start a new life with her, but his two friends like her. Drama, Hell Yeah!
It was Saturday morning and I was doing my usual grocery shopping before Thanksgiving tomorrow. I was dressed in a black sweater, my black, tan and dark brown plaid skirt and caramel colored boots. I had my glasses on and the chopsticks I had were holding my hair in a tight bun, nothing special.
Walking down another aisle I spotted not to far away, the last package of stuffing. As I walked up to it I grabbed it, but I looked over and noticed another woman had grabbed it too. She was older and a bit taller than me. Petite body, short blond hair and a very attractive face. I grabbed hold of the bag, smiled and then handed it to her.
"Here". I said. "You take it". She shook her head.
"No honey, you reached it first". She said in a soft voice. "You take it".
"It's alright, I'll just pick some up from a different store".
"Oh well, thank you very much". She said. We walked down the aisle together as she made small talk. "So are you getting in some last minute thanksgiving stuff too?".
"Yeah, my mom, brother, his wife, uncle, cousins and my son are gonna spend thanksgiving together". I said. Usually I wouldn't tell a stranger such personal stuff, but this woman seemed familiar to me.
"Your son". She said.
"Yeah". I reached into my pocket and pulled out my wallet. I showed her a picture of him. "His name is Prince, he's a year and a half old". I watched her smile at him.
"He's so adorable". She said. "He reminds me of someone". For the next 20 minutes we were talking about our lives and exchanging recipes, we seemed to have a lot in common.
"Okay, call me if you wanna come over and have dinner sometime". She said. "What's your name?".
"Mary". I said. I pulled out a piece of paper like she had done and wrote my number down. "What's your name?".
"Carol". She answered. We gave each other our numbers and I left.
"Mom". Someone yelled from behind. Carol looked up and saw to of her sons run up to her. "We went to the store across the street and got you some things for your pie".
"Thank you guys". She said as they tossed the objects into the basket. "Oh, I want you guys to meet-". She stopped when she saw Mary had vanished. "Oh, I guess she left". Carol said.
I opened the door to my house, once inside I set the groceries down in the kitchen.
"Breathe". I called, that was my friends name. I watched her come from upstairs carrying Prince in her arms. "How was he?".
"Girl he wasn't no trouble at all, he never is". She said handing him to me, I was careful since he was sleeping. "He went to bed about an hour ago, so he should be waking up. I'll put the food up for you".
"Thanks Bre".
"No problem". She said disappearing into the kitchen. Carrying prince, I walked into the living room. I grabbed the remote and turned on the t.v., turns out wrestling was on, breathe must have been watching it while I was gone. I rolled my eyes when I saw who was on the screen, my ex-boyfriend John Cena.
I stood there holding prince tight against my chest. I could feel the tears welling up in the back of my eyes, I bit my tongue trying my best not to cry. I closed my eyes as I remembered the horrible day that my life changed.
"Where are you going?". A 19 year old Mary asked as she continued to watch John pack his bags.
"None of your business". He answered coldly. "But if you must know, I'm leaving".
"For how long?". She asked, he kept quiet. It didn't take long for mary to figure out everything. "Your leaving me".
"Mar, there's just so much shit going on between us and I can't take it anymore".
"What do you mean us, you're the one that cheated". Mary reminded. John let out a loud grunt as he threw his clothes down.
"Will you stop pickin' at it!". He yelled startling her. "That was a fuckin month ago, how many times do I have to say I'm sorry!".
"Why are you so angry?". She asked as he began to pack his things again.
"See, that's what I'm talking about, you and all these god damn questions. That's why I need to leave, I need space, your hovering me to much".
"No I'm not. Your out everyday past midnight and I don't know where you are and every time I try to ask about it, you get upset and we argue". Mary explained.
"Whatever, I just know that it's over between us". He said.
"Your breaking up with me". She said. "You can't".
"Don't tell me what I can and cannot do". He responded bitterly. He grabbed all of his luggage and walked towards the door.
"John you can't leave". Mary cried running after him. He kept silent and opened the door. "John I think I'm-". The door slammed shut in her face and the tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Pregnant".
"Mary". Breathe said waving a hand in my face.
"Huh". I said coming back to reality.
"Girl your looking off into space, what are you-". Breathe stopped seeing who was on the t.v. "Mary calm down".
"I'm calm". I answered quickly.
"Baby don't worry about him, he's a piece of shit. He's gone and you don't have to worry about him anymore".
I cradled prince closer to me as I stared at the t.v. Quietly I said, "That's what I keep telling myself".
