Unbelievable would be the word May would use to describe everything that has happened to her for the past few days. But still, "unbelievable" was a definite understatement. She couldn't believe Brendan told her to be with Drew. What the hell was she supposed to feel right now? Her emotions were bouncing around and out of control. She was like a woman on PMS rampage: mixed emotions and uncontrollable feelings.

One hand, she felt guilty about Drew. She did feel something for him, but he was in love with her while she had nothing to offer. If anything she doesn't even deserve to be with him at all. He was able to actually fall in love with her, despite what baggage she had. She never loved him back and yet he still pursued. She had nothing to give him; she was nothing like what he was to her, and yet, he was still attracted to her. After all these years, though. From high school, to now, his feelings remained the same. But May can't help but wonder: why and how did Drew get himself to be attracted to her, when she's actually been a bad friend to him. What could be so good about loving her? When she has been nothing but a nuisance to him.

And then, there's the feeling of heart break... and confusion. The reason for Brendan easily letting her go for Drew still remain a question mark in May's head. Did she do something wrong while they were together? He says that Drew deserves her more than he does. Who is he to judge that? Just because Drew was already in love with her and he was her best friend, doesn't really tally him to win the prize. He just gave her to Drew, no fight, no second thoughts. Why? Was she not good enough for him? Was she not worth the fight even if Drew would win in the end?

May told her only confidant about what Brendan had decided to do. She told him every part and detail of the story that she could think of, hoping her brother can set her confusion straight. But Gary's response was not what she'd expected at all.

"I think he's right," he said with a shrug. He stood from his seat and headed for her fridge. He grabbed a piece of May's left over pizza and started to eat it.

"What?" she asked, following him. A quick disgust made way to her face as she watched her brother eat cold pizza.

"Brendan's a dude who likes you, right? But then, in comes Drew, who is, not only your best friend, but is in love with you and has been since High School. Even I know I can't compete with that," Gary said, with a mouthful of pizza.

"Why?" May asked him, crossing her arms over her chest.

"May, every guy knows that you should never mess with a man in love," Gary started to say, "A man in love is as good as a man in a mental hospital: they'll do ANYTHING!"

"What if you love the girl as well?" she wondered, raising an eyebrow at him.

"Then, shits going down!" he flailed his arms dramatically, with a smirk.

May threw her hands in the air, "Well, it doesn't seem that way to Drew." She wandered back to the living room. She sat down on the couch and put her feet up. "He won't even talk to me..." she whispered, suddenly feeling sad.

"Well..." Gary sighed, sitting back down on the coffee table in front of her. "He's still a man in love, but he's also a man with a broken heart... kind of the same place where I am at the moment..."

"Aww, Gary" May took Gary's hand in hers and squeezed it comfortingly.

A knock was heard at May's door, interrupting the moment Gary and May were sharing. Gary handed May his pizza, which she took with full disgust and he headed for the door.

"Uh—hi," Gary said awkwardly, as he opened the door. His tone was questioning the reason she was here in front of him. He was shocked to see that she would even come to him.

"Hi," Leaf finally greeted back, "We need to talk."

The sight of his ex-wife gave Gary a tense body. His mouth was open, but no word could come out. It took him a moment to process everything set before him until he finally stepped aside and let Leaf inside.

Leaf herself looked shaken. She looked scared but confident. She had this glow around her that showed through her brown eyes. She knew she was right to be here. She had a small shy smile on her face as she stepped into May's apartment.

"Hi May," she greeted the homeowner, giving her old friend a wave.

May stood up from the couch and gave a polite smile, "Hey, um, I'm gonna give you two some privacy," she said as she walked past the two, grabbing her coat and purse from the hook. She opened her door and left the apartment.

Gary awkwardly motioned for Leaf to sit down at the couch and offered to get her anything. She thanked him for the offer, but didn't ask to be given anything. Gary grabbed a bottled water for himself.

Hesitantly, he sat down next to Leaf on the couch, keeping respectable distance. He took a sip of his water before setting it down on the coffee table.

For a long moment, not one of them spoke. Leaf fiddled with her fingers and played with her wedding ring, while Gary kept licking his lips and stared at a blank space, waiting for something to happen.

The time dozed away slowly until Leaf finally took the risk and spoke first.

"I, uh—I didn't file the divorce," she whispered quietly.

Gary's head snapped to look in her direction. His eyes widened and his complexion slightly paled.

"What?" he asked in shock.

She gave him a small smile and nodded her head at him.

"Why?" he asked her curiously, his heart beating faster.

Leaf sighed softly, ready to admit defeat. She cleared her throat. "After you left the other day, I realized that that maybe the last time you will ever walk out that door. And the painful part was, I knew you would never return. I started to miss everything that we had. And well, I miss you… I was just terrified at the thought of us not lasting…" she mumbled out the last part.

Gary stared at her for a long time before speaking, "Why were you afraid? Leafy you are my best friend. I love you. And whenever you feel afraid or anything like that, I want to be here for you. I'm your husband you can always confide in me."

"I know that now," Leaf whispered, smiling softly at him as he took her hand, "I'm so sorry Gary, I—I love you. I really do so much. You are my best friend," she started tearing up, while she glanced at him.

Gary looked like he could faint there. He was that happy, "You mean that?" he asked, with a slight fear

She nodded. "I do," she said, and then bit her lip. "And besides... I—" her hands reached down to her stomach, "I wouldn't want my child to grow up without a father..."

Gary's face dropped from hopeful to shock. "What?" he asked her.

"Gary, you're going to be a father," she told him, nervously. Waiting for his reaction.

"I'm— you're—we're—wha—" Gary stuttered stupidly, unable to finish any of his sentences.

Leaf just nodded, adding more tears into her eyes.

"This is amazing!" Gary shouted as he wrapped his arms around her. He cupped her face and kissed her, holding onto her tight, this time... he's never going to let her go.
