it wasn’t hard to avoid him , maybe hard on her heart but it felt better that way . she’d cut almost all ties with anyone she knew that he was involved with . well all except for one , and she was the reason she was even at one of his games . out of support for the team , she’s got on a jersey . just so happened to be that the only one she still owned had his name plastered all over it . friend had unluckily gotten them two of the closest seats , and amari had tried her best to keep her head low throughout the whole ordeal . she’d gotten up to cheer when they had won , and had ended up being dragged towards the back to wait for her friend and her boyfriend . head low , avoiding most of the stares . her and xavier’s relationship wasn’t the most secret , and there she was wearing his jersey even though anyone with a twitter knew that they’d broken things off months ago . but amari wasn’t dumb , or at least not that dumb . it wasn’t just the jersey , the tabloids had a hay day with the articles about her pregnancy . all of them questioning just who the baby daddy was , a lot of them pointing fingers at xavier but she only ever shut down any rumor on social media . would use the excuse that the dad was out of the picture and it was no ones business , and that she was fine on her own and was tired of hearing about it . publicist had already blown up her phone , wondering why she was there , and why the hell she was wearing his number as if people wouldn’t talk but it was too easy to ignore it . she’s leaned up back against a wall , waiting for her friend to come out of the back and go . so when the door opens she’s quick to turn towards it , mouth opening before the face in front of her becomes all too familiar . smile will dwindle , and she’ll move back towards the wall to get out of his way . ❛ my bad , ❜ words are murmured , and she’ll avoid looking at him , arms crossing over her stomach once more , trying almost to cover the visible number but only making the bump of her stomach more noticeable . ❛ i’m waiting on a friend , so don’t get your hopes too high . ❜
