"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything." Todd said.
"It's okay." I told him wiping my eyes.
"No. We don't have to go to a movie. You can just take me home if you want. You look upset." He said.
"I'm a little confused right now, to be honest." I told him.
"I'm sorry." He said again.
"It's okay. I'm fine." I said, smiling. I drove to the movie theater and we picked out a movie. We didn't say much most of the time. Things were slightly awkward. When the movie was over I drove Todd back home.
"I guess I'll see you later." He said getting out of the car.
"I'm really sorry." I told him.
He nodded, "Goodnight."
"Goodnight. I'll call you tomorrow." I said.
He nodded and closed the door. I pulled away and started crying again. I called Alex. I started talking as soon as he picked up.
"Can I come over?" I asked trying to make it sound like I wasn't crying.
"Ally?" He mumbled clearing his throat.
"Yeah."
"Ally, my head hurts really bad. I'm trying to go to sleep." He said.
"I can bring you some asprin or something." I said.
"That's very sweet of you to offer, but I think I just need some rest." He said.
"Why won't you let me help you?" I asked crying.
"Ally, we broke up." He said.
"So. That doesn't mean I don't care about you." I said.
He laughed nervously. "You're not helping me get over you." He said.
"Alex-"
"Ally, go home. Go to a friends house, okay? You are a sweetheart, but I'm fine. Really." he said. I just hung up the phone. I drove home, and took a long hot bath before I went to bed.
The next morning I woke up to my phone ringing.
"Hello?" I answered. "Hello?" There was no one there. I looked at the call log and the number was Alex's, so I called him back.
"Hello?"
"Hey." I said.
"Hey, good morning." He said.
"Did you need something?" I asked.
"I'm really sorry about last night." He said, "I didn't mean to upset you."
I layed down and rolled over on my side. "It's okay." I said.
"Chris is out of town for a few days. He went with some friends to San Diego." He said.
"Oh, that sounds like fun. . ." I said.
"You can come by if you want." He said.
"I don't know if I should. . ." I said.
"Are you dating Todd?" He asked.
"No, he is just a friend." I said.
"He didn't look happy last night. I felt bad. I hope I didn't ruin your night." He said.
"That wasn't something you had planned on. I was glad to help." I said.
"You gonna come by?" He asked.
"Is this a booty call?" I asked giggling.
He laughed, "Kinda."
I laughed.
"If there is something going on with you and Todd though, I don't want to get in the way of it." He said.
"So, you want some of the Ally meds?" I asked.
"Yes, I think it would be very helpful. It might even fix me." He said.
I giggled, "Well, this nurse will be right over to fulfill your needs, Mr. Learman." I said in a sexy voice.
"Come over, now." He said.
"Let me take a shower, and I'll be right there." I told him.
"HURRY!" He said, and we hung up. I started laughing, and jumped in the shower right away.
