"Okay, both of you, talk now." Matt instructed.

Both Jack and I had been sitting there for twenty minutes looking in different directions with our arms crossed over our chests. All of the guys were around us and to be completely honest I didn't want to have this discussion in front of them. I didn't know three of them and Matt I just barely knew.

"Come on guys, this won't get settled unless you talk about it." Rian said and I bit down on my lip.

I knew he was right; this wouldn't get solved unless we talked but Jack was so goddamn difficult. By calling me a liar he was basically calling me a slut and I wasn't. I have only ever had sex with two people, Jack and my ex-boyfriend who had dumped me the night before I met Jack. I knew my ex wasn't the baby's father because before he dumped me we hadn't had sex in months.

"I'll talk but Jack calls me a liar again I swear to god…" I trailed off when I couldn't think of a threat while looking up at Matt who nodded.

"Jack don't call her a liar." he said in a very father like way.

"Fine." Jack grumbled and I rolled my eyes.

"I don't get why you get to pout, you didn't wear a condom and you aren't the one who's been throwing up and is going to be stuck with a thing inside them for nine months."

"Oh boo-hoo." Jack said and I glared at him.

"I'm done." I said going to stand up but Matt pushed me back down.

"Jack stop being an asshole." Alex said and I gave him an appreciative smile.

"You're gonna be a dad so just get over it. I can do it with or without you but I'd prefer if you helped, it takes two to make a baby. Do you really want this," I motioned to my stomach, "to grow up with no father?" I asked and Jack was quiet for a moment.

"Okay." he said softly and I raised an eyebrow.

"Okay what?"

"Okay I'll be there for you."

"Why are you in my apartment again?" I questioned as I sat on the floor of my bathroom looking up at Jack.

"I came to ask you about getting some breakfast with…" he said trailing off when I started throwing up again.

"Don't even mention food." I groaned when I lifted my head from the toilet.

"Okay, I'm sorry." Jack said while sitting down beside me.

"Can you get out?"

"No."

"Go away."

"No, I told you I'd be here for you two weeks ago and I'm here for you." he said as he went to touch me but I pushed him away.

"I don't like people watching me blow chunks."

"First you want me here and then you don't! Really Josie? What the hell do you want!"

"I want to go back in time and change all this! I don't want any of this and I especially don't want you!" I snapped.

Jack's face crumpled at my words and I went from angry to guilty. I went to reach out my hand to him but the overwhelming urge to vomit took me over again and I leaned my head into the toilet. I heard Jack get up and stomp off and as soon as I stopped I stood up sharply. My head spun but I pushed through it and went after Jack.

"Jack I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." I said when I found him in my kitchen.

"Mhm."

"Jack don't be mad at me, please?"

"Mhm."

"Jack I swear to god! I'm fucking trying! Why don't you have your head in a toilet for a couple hours every day, have sore boobs and back, have goddamn indigestion, heartburn, mood swings and still have to act like everything is all peachy!"

"Oh enough of the fucking pity party, you're pregnant, we all get it! Stop crying and suck it up!"

"Ugh! I fucking hate you! Just get out!"

"Fine! Have fun being a miserable bitch!" he barked before walking out of the kitchen, into the living room and slamming the door behind him.

I growled before putting my head in my hands and starting to cry. That had fucking gone wonderful, things just can't get any fucking worse I thought. I picked my head up just as I heard Audrey walk in. Her hair was a mess, she was still in pajamas and she looked absolutely livid.

"I'd love it if you and your fucking baby daddy didn't wake me up." she snapped and my eyes narrowed.

"Don't you start too."

"No I can start, I pay half the rent and I don't like being woken up!"

"Audrey it's almost noon, shut the hell up."

"No Josie, you shut the hell up. I shouldn't have to hear you guys fighting."

"Oh my god, why does everything always have to be about you? Yeah you might pay half the rent but I do the cooking, the cleaning, and pretty much everything else that needs to be done around here so I can fight wherever the fuck I want!" I said before stomping to my room.

I slammed my door before starting to rummage around for clothes. I couldn't take it anymore; everyone felt the need to constantly fight with me. I was trying the best I could but it seemed like everything I did was wrong. I shook my head angrily before pulling on a pair of jeans and scowling when I couldn't get them buttoned. Great, now I was too fat to fit into my clothes. I ripped the jeans off and pulled on a pair of yoga pants just as my phone began ringing.

"What?" I answered while I fished around for a shirt in my drawer.

"What happened with you and Jack?" a voice that I didn't really recognize said.

"Who is this?" I said stopping for a moment.

"Alex, you came to my house with Matt."

"Well Alex why don't you ask Jack?"

"I asked him what was the matter and all he said was Josie."

"I didn't do anything and even if I did it's none of your business."

"Look, I'm not trying to be nosy, I'm actually trying to help you." he said and I scoffed.

"Really now?"

"Yes, I'm Jack's best friend and I know him better than anyone else. Why don't we meet somewhere and we can talk."

At this I paused for a moment, I was about to go out anyways. I chewed on my lip and took a deep breath; maybe if I talked to Alex then I could get Jack to stop being such a dick. I mean we both really needed to work this out and we obviously weren't doing too good of a job by ourselves.

"Fine, I was about to go do laundry so would you mind meeting me at the laundromat?"

After Alex said no and I gave him directions to the laundromat I went to I hung up. I found my laundry bag quickly and started shoving all my dirty clothes into it. Once I had everything stuffed into it I pushed my feet into sneakers, pulled on a hoodie and started lugging the bag out of my room. Usually I would do Audrey's laundry too but after this morning she can do it her damn self.

I had just gotten to the laundromat and was beginning to separate my clothes when the door swung open and I looked up to see Alex. He spotted me instantly and made his way over to me.

"Hi." I said, not stopping what I was doing.

"Hey, so what happened with you and Jack?" he asked while throwing himself down in the chair in front of me.

"He was practically on top of me while I threw up and got mad when I told him to let me throw up in peace." I said rolling both baskets over to a washer and starting to pile clothes in.

"Jack said you were being a bitch."

"Oh, I'm the bitch? I'm pretty sure he said and I quote, stop crying and suck it up then he said I was a miserable bitch." I said while rolling my eyes.

"Well what did you say to him to say that?"

"If you're gonna defend him then you can leave me alone."

"I'm not defending him; I just know Jack doesn't snap without a good reason."

"I told him I didn't want him but I apologized and when he didn't respond I got mad. I'm sorry if I seem self-centered but I think I should be allowed to complain every once in a while without anyone saying I'm throwing myself a fucking pity party."

"He said you were having a pity party?"

"Yes and I think I goddamn deserve one! I feel like shit and ugh! Just never mind." I said stopping myself before I could burst into tears.

I hated how sensitive I was. Only a few short months ago I was being walked all over and treated like crap but I never snapped or just had the overwhelming urge to burst into tears. I was making myself mad because I seemed like a giant crybaby.

"I'm sorry; I'll talk to him if you want."

"Thank you but no. I'm an adult and I need to handle this on my own."

"You don't need to do everything on your own."

"I do, look don't worry about me, okay?"

"But I'm gonna; Jack is like my brother so that means my niece or nephew is inside you."

I frowned at Alex's words. I didn't want to think of the thing inside me as a little person just yet, it was too weird….too scary. I pushed my hair from my face before looking up at Alex who was sitting there, an unreadable expression on his face.

"Fine, you can talk to Jack for me if you want." I said and he smiled.

"Okay, I'll fix everything, don't worry." he said hopping up and walking out of the laundromat before I could call him back.

I sighed and began stuffing the laundry into the washers again. I couldn't believe I had let Alex go talk to Jack. I was instantly filled with worry; this could go either really bad or really good. Of course my mind went to all of the things that could go bad and I chewed on my lip as I slammed the washers shut.

An hour later I was sitting there watching my clothes dry when someone sat down beside me and I looked over to see Jack. He looked pretty sheepish with his hands picking nervously at his hoodie and his eyes looking down at his knees.

"Uh, hi." I said nervously.

"I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry too."

"Don't be, I shouldn't have gotten mad. You weren't feeling well and I shouldn't have started."

"I shouldn't have said what I said."

"I egged you on."

"You didn't make the words come out my mouth."

"Just shut up Josie, stop trying to make yourself feel bad."

"I will not shut up, we were both wrong and I'm not gonna let you take all the blame."

"Fine, we were both wrong, you happy?"

"No."

"Oh."

"I will be happy once we get something to eat though, I'm starving." I said and Jack laughed.

"Alright, what do you want and I'll go get it."

"No, my clothes are almost done, I'll get it later."

"Tell me what you want or I'm getting the whole menu at every fast food place five minutes from here."

"Fine, can you get me pickles?"

"Just pickles?"

"No, a chocolate milkshake too."

"Uh….alright…. I'll be back." he said before standing up and walking out.

I smiled at his retreating back and placed my hand over my growling stomach. I was happy things with Jack had been fixed; I had to thank Alex for that I thought. My smile faltered though when I realized I was still fighting with Audrey. I needed to go home and apologize to her or else we would just fight forever. I sighed before throwing my head back and looking up at the ceiling; couldn't my life just be good for once?
