Unbroken C.B

*Leighton's POV*

"Thank you for giving me a place to stay, but I'm leaving now" I hissed, feeling betrayed by her.

"ALL YOU DO IS RUN AWAY!" Aaliyah screamed, causing more people to look at us as I pulled out my phone. I was going to call an uber, but then realized I couldn't afford it.

To my contact list I go.

I went through my contact list, debating who was my best bet.

I decided on my older brother and I thanked god that he answered, and without any questions agreed to come get me.

"Leighton stop running away! Are we really arguing because of a fucking onesie! Are you kidding me!?" She yelled as I walked farther down the sidewalk towards a bench.

"THAT'S NOT WHY I'M MAD! AND WE ARE ARGUING BECAUSE YOU DON'T GET IT!"

"What don't I get?!"

"I WAS SCARED, AND ALONE, AND THE ONLY PERSON WHO WAS WILLING TO BE THERE WAS KATRINA! YOU TOLD ME YOU HAD WORK! I GET THAT! I GET I'M NOT SOMEONE YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR LIFE ON HOLD FOR, BUT SUPPORT WOULD BE NICE! Suggesting that we buy baby clothes isn't support!"

"You cry every two seconds! And I really did have to work also what the fuck does that even mean? All I said was that the onesie was cute and we should buy it!"

"I'M PREGNANT! WHAT DO YOU EXPECT! TRUST ME, I WISH I COULD CONTROL IT! IT'S EMBARRASSING AND ANNOYING TO CRY ALL THE TIME!"

It was silent and the tears fell down my face, landing on the cement beneath me.

"I feel like ever since I left Gabe, you've given up on me" I whispered, wiping away some tears.

Before  Aaliyah could reply, I was walking to my brother's car, and quickly got in.

We sat in silence for a couple minutes before he spoke. "Are we going to talk about it?" He glanced towards me, and I sighed, leaning my head against the window.

"Aaliyah and I got into an argument. Thank you for picking me up" I gave him the best smile I could muster, which seemed to only be a basically nonexistent one.

It was the thought that counted... right?

"Since when do you guys fight in Target other than what ice cream to buy?" He chuckled, stopping at a red light.

"I don't want to talk about it right now" I replied softly, letting the glare from the lights shine in my eyes.

"Damn, it must've been pretty bad. Where are we going?"

"Stop at Aaliyah's. I want to get my crap" I saw him nod and the rest of the car ride was silent.

Logan helped me carry my boxes into his truck as I gathered up a few of my miscellaneous things that were laying around.

I grabbed 75 dollars and left it on her counter with a note that said.

Here's rent.
Thanks for letting me stay
Leigh

I left one more note that said

I hope this isn't forever
But it's for now.

"Don't you think this is slightly dramatic?" Logan asked and I shook my head, wanting to get away from everything.

"So because she wanted to buy a onesie, you're leaving her and dumping her like she's the lowest piece of trash on Earth?" Logan asked and I pursed my lips.

"It's not forever, but I need to figure some stuff out. Can we please leave?" I asked and he nodded, starting the car. 

That next morning, I woke up in Logan's spare bedroom which confused me for a moment until I remembered what had happened.
