Giant Days (Boom) #1 “Like A Sexy Moon”

In honor of Giant Days grand finale one-shot this week, we go all the way back to the beginning of it’s long and storied ongoing where three first year university students consisting of a flighty energetic goth, a hardboiled detective metaphorically in the body of a med student, and a cheerful and naive small town girl whose mostly hair try to make it through lunch without chaos ensuing. Spoilers: Chaos ensues. Class, and a heartfelt mega-paragraph about my love of the series, is under the cut.

A few years ago, i’d say about 2016, my mom had her annual oscar party. This isn’t all that relevant to the story, and reveals that even at 27 (I kept forgetting to correct my age on my blog), soon to be 28, I still live at home, but it’s important because it’s where I first read giant days. Buying the first volume during a comixology sale that had it for all of three bucks, I lapped up the series almost immediately, then when I got home got my hands on every issue that had been out at the time and caught up asap, following the series since then to it’s conclusion this week. , only missing the “Where women blow and men plunder” special. For the past few years, in an ever changing comic book landscape where titles come and go, start strong and peter out or are just plain great or foul from the start but leave all the same , i’ts been my rock. My mountain in a sea of ever changing titles... and Wednesday said mountain breaks off and floats off into the either, maybe to become a new campus for the university of north carolina in the sky I dunno. The point is the series means a lot to me and it’s sad to see it go, even if it’s writer John Allison probably won’t leave my life and knowing him our heroes probably will return, or at least one or two of them will, someday, it’s still a sad end to a heartfelt, ungodly hilarious, sometimes rediculous but always intresting journey. My intrest may of waxed and waned, as is expected when a book runs 4 years, but it never left my heart. So join me won’t you as I go back to where it all began.. not with the whole volume, but with the first monthly issue of giant days.

------------------------- Giant Day is the creation of John Allison, who before creating this and other print works By Night and Steeple, which having not read past issue 1 or read it yet respectively will certainly pop up here eventually, was the creator of a large number of web comics, all of which I discovered thanks to Giant Days, in part because Giant Days itself is a Spin-Off from Allison’s second comic strip, and his most famous work pre-Giant Days: Scary Go Round

Scary Go Round itself was a spinoff/sequel to Allison’s previous comic strip Bobbins, originally following two minor characters from that strip before they were slowly shoved out of the strip in favor of Shelley Winters... and yes the name i intentional, not the actress from Cheers but a bubbly red head with a skewed sense of reality and a can do spirit and her two best friends: local layabout with a heart of gold Ryan, one of shelly’s old friends and Amy, the daughter of Shelley’s ex-boss, a sharp tounged young woman with a healthy libidio who grows from a spoiled princess to a responsible buisness owner. The three deal with relationship issues, wacky shenanigans.. and the supernatural stuff that happens in their town of Tackleford because it’s a hub of spoopy shit Just in case you thought it was just his other print works that were kinda weird in comparison to the mostly grounded Giant Days, nope. While his stuff post the original bobbins is well grounded in character work, it’s all got a tinge of weird to it. If you have the time check it out. While some things may fly over your head unless you read the original bobbins, and I strongly suggest you don’t, it’s otherwise a very good read and very much the blue print for his stronger later stuff.

And as noted it’s from this weird and wonderful early goop we get the protaganist of this book: Esther DeGroot, a perky goth girl who intitally showed up with her best friend Sarah and their muscle Big Lindsay to have LIndsay beat amy into the ground for chatting up a singer they liked. Thankfully she quickly grew out of having her friends beat up college drop outs and instead became a weird, snarky goth and rival to Shelley’s snarky buttoned up sister Erin for the heart of local shy awkard lab assitant Eustace “The Boy” Boyce, himself introduced as fumbling assitant to local inventor and longtime pal of Shelley’s Tim. And you can now see why I had to get into everyone else as SGR’s characters tend to intersect and that web only widens.

Esther would eventually win, and Erin would eventually end up in hell then forgotten from everyone’s memories shortly after, with Esther and Eustace staying together for the duration of the strip and through many shenanigans and were actually a rather adorable couple. By this time Esther and Eustace were just as much leads as the main three and Esther was a close friend of Ryan’s to the point he and Sarah went out briefly in their Senior Year.. when Sarah was 18 thankfully. Though Ryan did get punched over it by a drunken awkard teenager so things sorted themself out. Big Lindsay quitely disappeared and was revealed to have gottten pregnant. Both would later show up in Giant Days. The strip ended, after a soft launch for the next strip which we’ll get to in a second, with Esther and freinds graduating, Ryan and Sarah breaking up, Shelley leaving town (She’d later return but story for another time), and Ryan and Amy, who had a whole will they or won’t they thing, getting together.

Allison did this for a reason: He felt Scary Go Round was collapsing under it’s mound of Continuity and thus decided to switch to a fresh cast. Same continuity but with less ties to the old so new readers wouldn’t be turned off. Thus came Bad Machinery. Set up during the waning days of SGR, it followed Sarah’s weird sister Lottie, her sluthy best friend Shauna and a bunch of other bright young kids i’m only not getting into because i’ve introduced enough characters and most of the ones i’ve introduced are either vital to SGR or show up in Giant Days , but are all fantastic, focusing more on the mystery while also having some coming of age stuff of it’s own as by the series end years later, the characters all grew into their late teens. It’s an excellent read and again worth checking out if you haven’t and unlike SGR is in print with the print versions adding more pages to the story and revising bits. I haven’t read them but I intend to eventually because of the revisal, but if you can’t afford them the entire originals are online free.

Bad Machinery would later be a hit in it’s own right, as the print collections show, but in it’s first years it was actually a shaky proposition to uproot everything, replace almost the entire cast (Though Ryan and Amy, now married, stayed around as supporting cast, with Ryan being the kids teacher and Amy eventually mentoring Shauna), and change the genre from 20 somethings and teens slice of life to a bunch of 11-12 year olds coming of age and solving mysteries. And at first things dipped a bit apparently and Allison panicked and started working on a backup plan. And that backup plan was where Giant Days comes in: A Spinoff following esther and two new characters as they navigate college. He did three self published issues of it, the first put online, before focusing back on bad machinery as it picked up, and many other projects we’ll cover some day. Esther as a result was kinda left in limbo while Erin and Eustace’s stories moved forward. It seemed Esther and her new pals Daisy and Susan were lost to time...

Until 2015 when Allison agreed to do a mini-series for Boom! Studios that picked up where the original series left off, eventually getting picked up as an ongoing that lasted all the way to last month, with 2 winter specials, a one shot trip to Australia, and a final one shot finishing the series Wednesday. As for said series I do own it, Boom has since republished it, and we will get to it.. but I felt given this is where I and probably most other fans of the series came in, it was the best place to start and issue #1 of the boom series recaps what’s come so far and re-introduces the cast well. Kinda like the second episode of a series after the pilot: some things have changed, including the series now having Artist Lisa Tremain on board to draw instead of Allison himself, some new characters have been added, but it’s still the same show and still a good point to start. And with ALLL that exposition out of the way, including exposition to set up characters for ISSUES down the line, and a little more to go, let’s dig in. As seen at the top, the first cover is great. The yellow and red works well, as does the simple image of a morose Esther fiddling with her phone, boxing gloves on the back for reasons we’ll see shortly. A good genre setter and an excellent cover, something the series always delivers with.

We open on our three Heroines, on their third week of college, with a helpful narration that does a good job summing each up, so I don’t have to and you know how I like to jabber, the giant barrage of paragraphs before should be proof: Naive cheerful Daisy, dramatic and funloving esther, and serious and sardonic Susan. There will be, and already is, more to each as they grow and we learn more, and Esther of course has a few years of comics behind her to start, Giant Days even being named after a Esther and Eustace centric arc from Scary Go Round, but not something I could fit into the exposition wall.

As you can see the ladies are having a nice talk about if they would be friends without living in the same hall, with Susan bursting Daisy and Esther’s bubble.. but it fits her personality. Susan is a realist, she sees the world how it is. Daisy is an optimist seeing the world how it SHOULD be and Esther navigates the space between, as she can be realistic once in a while but mostly tries to avoid reality like the plauge in this series. She had a tad of this in Scary Go Round but it’s really dialed up here, but there’s a good reason for why i’ll get to after Susan helpfully outlines the indie issues for me and new readers.

See this is why I went here first: while I will cover these issues, themselves covering their first three weeks of college, eventually, it covers most of what happened pretty well and makes it easy to fill in the blanks that it glossed over. The first issue did indeed turn into a scott pilgrim style brawl where Esther boxed her way to victory, Susan set someone on fire and Daisy tried to use meditation to fight but Paul Mcartney’s ghost said no. It’s not a bad issue but tone wise the series would be something much more diffrent.

Issue 2 is where I need to go into more detail: Esther cheated on Eustace with the douchebag you rightfully see in a heap above, who then spread their night around and got his commupance. Esther told Eustace.. who dumped her over it and drove her into a depressive state, a weird heavy metal society, and booze, which she can drink because you can drink at 18 in England. She was saved from it by her new galpals.. and Erin, who was supposed to likely be a recurring character, possibly on the same level as two we’ll get to soon, and definitely figured into a major plot with Daisy, as Allison admitted. But with the gap between issues and having other plans for Erin, he decided to write her out. Susan pegs Esther as a drama queen soon after, a “sodding drama magnet”, attracting attention like I attract X-Men comics and Kirk Cameron attracts terrible Christian movies designed to stroke his own ego. She proves this by handing her a piece of paper and well....

Well look on the bright side Esther, you have a good career as the bride of dr.doom with those skills. I mean he’s single, has a spooky castle, does magic.. he’s basically a goth’s wet dream he just needs to black up his uniform a bit. Or put on that awful leather made out of a human armor he had. Yes that was a thing. Comics are weird.

The rest of the group chase after an angry Esther who after this immortal line, challenges Susan to a bet: if Susan wins she gets a nice massage, if Esther wins she gets to dress Susan up however she likes to torment her.

And somehow DAISY is the one who has a coming out story in a few issues. Jokes aside I do like the friendship here: They’ll razz each other, give Daisy time, and poke at their flaws gently, or be brutally honest, but their truly and honestly friends and it shows. It feels real and it’s one of the series big draws. The girls run into Esther’s friend Ed. Ed has a huge crush on Esther, even when she had a boyfriend something to the series credit he was called out on, but not the nerves or charisma to actually try and ask her out. Shockingly, I liked, and still liked, Ed a lot as he reminded me of well.. myself in college. Pining after girls or starring without actually going anywhere and the series will deconstruct this as we go. He’s also basically the fourth main character, getting issues focusing entirely on him and arcs of his own, but the girls are still the main focus. Susan freezes however upon seeing his friend...

This is our fifth lead, McGraw. Basically a more emotive and british Ron Swanson who as you can see clearly has a history with Susan and Susan splits before they can say more. While McGraw falls back on the old men streotype of “We don’t have to talk about it”, though unlike say Tim Taylor it’s less “I genuinely believe this nonsense, as well as that men are incapable of commuincating unless my neighbor tells me otherwise and all loves sports. I unsuprsingly got divorced once the kids all left the house, aug aug aug” and more “I don’t want to talk about this nor do I want to force my new friend to talk about a touchy subject yet. “ Susan is likewise closed off but in her own special Susan way and Esther reveling in Susan having drama after accusing her of being a drama queen. This ends about as well as you’d expect.

Daisy has had best friends for all of three weeks and she’s already figured out lies are a key part of friendship. Good for her. Esther heads off for the Gym, and while Daisy declines due to, and i’m not making this up this is a genuinely good joke of john’s, worrying she’ll become a killing machine. Esther however needs it to work out her feelings over Eustace because punching shit is better than wallowing in her misery over loosing the love of her, at this point, short life.

That panel on the right... that’s a blessed image. And really this image showcases the true heart of the series: as I said the girls are there for each other but it dosen’t feels schmaltzy or forced, it feels real and has plenty of great lines to add to that. Daisy goes back to try talking to Susan, but Susan takes a bit and when she finally works up the energy to visit daisy.

I I understand that feeling. It’s like the realization Mr. Rogers had sex at least once. You don’t WANT to know something that pure and innocent is capable of fucking, but you do now and it will haunt you like that ghost that won’t stop stealing my soap. BUY YOUR OWN SOAP JEREMY I’M BROKE SON. Of course this wasn’t actually sex stuff as Susan soon relays to Esther as she fears she upset the poor humanoid afro lesbian.

Side note I love the phrase having a fiddle and will save it for future use. But yeah with Susan somehow spooked, she suggests Esther change the subject as soon as they get in there.

Susan.. ya brought this on yourself. Naturally she tries to avoid getting into the subject until eventually this happens.

I’ll be saving this for future reference of course. And Susan gives us a LITTLE to go on... about two panels worth of ominus foreshadowing to the eventual reveal without any actual info about what in the bloody hell actually happened.

Of course Susan calls for dinner time and says they’ll have to earn the rest later. Naturaly McGraw is also going in for dinner and Susan once again tries to deflect as her friends bascially call him a snack. I mean he is ron swanson crossbred with berkely brethead. who wouldn’t?

I love the line above.. especially since really the comic DOES pass. While there is boy drama, and girl drama for Daisy, this issue has plenty else going on besides wanting to bang someone, though given Esther won’t shut up about McGraw while talking to the human equilveant of an active volcano..

She’s lucky she didn’t instead bash her face in with a tray, but she’s a friend after all. Susan saves the savage beatings for her enemies and McGraw is wise enough to not let his tray anywhere near her and to duck if she tried her own. Natrually given her Drama Magnet powers Esther somehow finds the one cowboy in all of England.

His chivlary, genuine or dudebro wise unfortunately causes a chain reaction.

Naturally Susan was hoping for something like this, loudly gloating at activating the drama field and at having won the bet and tries to use the high that being right gives a person to run McGraw out of town.

Unfortunatley for her, while her speech is awesome i’ll admit, it’s also entirely unfair: She expects him to change schools, and given his focus on architecture and general no nonsense nature he choose this one for a reason. Just because you two have a history dosen’t mean you can just make him leave and McGraw, as seen above, isn’t taking it. And he responds just as badassly.

Gross? A little. But worth it to basically win the argument without even invoking the fact you have the moral highground. Yeah he had to know she was going here too, but again he came her for a reason and has no reason to leave. She can be an adult about this and work past it or just avoid him, also like an adult. Esther, not wanting to deal with Susan’s smug or her rage both of which are probably ping ponging back and forth, sits with Ed and talks about her dramatic nature. She really dosen’t intend to call it on herself, but does like not knowing what will happen every day.

This really sums up Esther’s character to start: She enjoys life, loves the hell out of it, but often fails to see the consequences of her actions. The drama field sometimes is just shit happening to her because she happens to be young, attractive and entergetic, but other times it happens, like with the blow up of her relationship, because she does something impulsive and it blows up in her face. Speaking of character insight we get a character defening inner monologue from ed.

And that’s Ed’s pain: To Esther she sees it genuinely as him just being her friend. And I do think even with his massive crush he genuinely cares about her more than just wanting to be with her, but worried she’ll reject him, as I can again relate. And even worse is the worry of not wanting to make their friendship weird. And i’ve had crushes on female friends that have gone both ways: it’s made things toow eird to continue, but i’ve also had plenty where I was gently turned down and we’re still on good terms to this day. One of my best friends was a result of this. What makes it work, when we’ve seen this plot a thousand times before, is that both the narrative and Ed don’t think he’s ENTITLED to Esther. Yes the above has him asking god to make her love him.. but it’s not in a forceful sense.. it comes off more as a desperate want for them to end up together or for him to be able to move on. It’s what seperates ed from a “nice guy”: Sure he’s into Esther, but he dosen’t think he deserves her, or that because their friends he’s earned her or any such nonsensical bullshit. He’s just hopelesly infatuated with the first girl he met in college and wants to either see where it goes, or have the feelings end so he can move on with someone he does have a future with. I”ve been there. Shit sucks and Allison handles it well without falling into entitlement territory, and given just HOW many geek gets the girl storylines have been written, having it treated realistically with it being treated with him having to get over her instead of her just being oblvious is refreshing and I wish i’d had a narrative like this when I was Ed’s age to smack me in the face and tell me “No it dosen’t work that way, say something or move on man. “ With that monster of a pargraph done let’s check back with the girls.

Again, I love the character interactions and how that’s the focus here over anything else, even my word sandwitch up there. But speaking of things, Esther just up and asks Daisy what she was watching. Turns out...

Yup, Daisy just likes ASMR, which I now know just what it is, just a static reflex people get. Susan tests it to prove Daisy is normal and it’s just good clean fun. Esther tries to put nosepicking under the same, Elbow’s susan over it and we get this to close out our main trio for the issue.

I am glad he showed off more lady friendships, but they would’ve been a hell of a couple had Allison went that way. Could be an intresting AU, especailly if you keep Daisy gay and have their being bi or pan, dealers choice, affect things. HOw would that effect their relationshpis, how long would it last, would the McGraw thing impact stuff.. it’s some food for thought is all i[’m saying. We close however on Ed and McGraw as Ron Jr. unpacks his stuff and helps ed with his key sticking by rubbing a pencil on it because Graphite is a lubricant. Huh. Neat. And then we end on this.

And on that note, we end issue 1. No write in contests though i’m damn sure given he’s mentioned he’d want a ROM/Giant Days crossover for the absurdity John Allison would love that.

Final Thoughts; An excellent start to the BOOM! series and a good second pilot. It’s clear stuff happened but the series helps you get the gist well enough to not have to buy the collection of the first three issues, and the characters are all dynamic with plenty of laughs as well as genuine moments. Susan and Esther’s banter is hilarious and both Esther and Susan are given plenty of layers: Esther’s grappling with her sorrow over her nuking her first romance and Susan being sharp witted, quick to be smug with Esther, but still gentle with Daisy and trying to careful with her given her sheltered life before College. Daisy isn’t given much layers in this issue, but is sitll shown to be incredibly sweet and realstically naive. McGraw is a welcome addition, his past with susan providing an intresting mystery for what was intended to be just 6 issues and solved by the end, while also having some intresting swagger to him enough to not make him JUST her love intrest or Ed’s best friend. Tremain’s art is also great, diffrent than what most of the series would end up being, a bit sketchier with more dot eye, but still nice and stylish. I’ll also confess the cafeteria scene is what let me know the book existed as I read it in the back of another boom title, I can’t remember which honestly, wher eit was featured as a preview and was intstantly intrigued. Overall a strong start. There’s a reason the series both caught on and lasted as long as it did and i’ll miss it terribly. I won’t be reviewing as time goes by this week, though I may post some quick thoughts on it, but I intend to review the full series, including the 3 indie issues and specials, so i’ll probably get to it at some point. An excellent series that I can’t recommend enough.

If you liked this review, feel free to reblog it, follow me for more, or comisson one for a comic of your choice for just 5 bucks. Until then, have some giant days of your own.

TayGa: Taylor's baby

TayGa prompt: Gaga finds out she’s pregnant when she’s with that old man whatever his name is, and Taylor is the baby’s daddy. She tells him and they get back together.

~ 1 ~

Gaga slowly opened her eyes, immediately closing her eyes again because of the bright light shining on her.

“What the fuck, where am I?” She whispered as she lifted her arm to cover her eyes. She sat up and looked around the room quickly realizing it was a hospital room. Her eyes landed on her parents sitting on the couch on their phones. Cynthia looked up and smiled.

“Oh honey, you’re up.” She stood up and walked to her daughters side followed by her husband. They both hugged her and Gaga sat there extremely confused.

“Why am I here?” She asked.

“You don’t remember?” Cynthia asked and Gaga shook her head. “You were working out and then you-”, “fainted.” Gaga interrupted her mother remembering what had happened.

“Oh yeah, that happened.” She rubbed her face and sat back.

“How are you feeling?” Joe asked.

“Good, I feel good. Little nauseous but good.” She responded and sighed. “Who brought me here?” She asked.

“Christian and Natali, they went to go buy coffee at the shop down stairs.” Cynthia sat down on the bed and grabbed her daughters hand. Just then the door opened and a doctor walked in.

“Oh you’re awake!” The charming doctor smiled and stood in front of the bed. “So, Ms. Germanotta you fainted and because you don’t have a pasted medical history of fainting we wanted to find the reason why, we took some blood tests and received some exciting news.” He smiled. Gaga had her full attention on the doctor and the door suddenly opened, Bo and Christian walked in, “congratulations you’re pregnant!”

Gaga’s jaw dropped and she squeezed her mother's hand, what she had been thinking for the passed few weeks was now confirmed. Joe quickly looked at his daughter then to her boyfriend who had his jaw on the floor as Natali and Cynthia had big smiles on their faces.

“Is it possible to know how far along I am?” Gaga asked still in shock, Christian now walking to her side, he wrapped his arm around her and squeezed her.

“We can do an ultrasound to figure that out.” Dr. Shib suggested, “would you like one?”

“Y-yes please.” She took a deep breath in.

“Okay, I’ll send a nurse in with a wheelchair and an ultrasound technician, you should begin drinking plenty of water now.” He smiled and walked out of the room after excusing himself.

“Stefani! You’re going to have a baby!” Natali squealed and jumped up and down. Gaga faked a laugh and smile just to amuse her sister and her boyfriend who seemed to be on cloud nine. Cynthia and Joe exchanged looks before both sighing.

“Congratulations honey.” Cynthia said with not much enthusiasm and Joe patted his daughters arm, flashing a forced smile.

“This is amazing.” Her boyfriend whispered in her ear and she closed her eyes, trying to relax from the feeling of an anxiety attack building up.

Silence filled the room for not too long, the only noise was oh Gaga gulping water from two bottles. Two people walked in, one pushing a wheelchair and another woman with a bright smile.

“Hello Stefani, I’m Dr. Shauna and I’ll be performing your ultrasound today.” The doctor shook Gaga’s hand.

“Hello.” Gaga whispered. The nurse kindly asked Gaga to sit in the wheelchair and that she did, with Christians help. They walked out of the room and walked to another room with a few machines and another gurney. Gaga stood up and sat on the bed after being told to by the doctor.

“We’ll leave you two alone.” Cynthia leaned over and kissed her daughters forehead before walking out with her husband and youngest daughter.

The nurse gave instructions and began to prepare Gaga for the ultrasound. “You have to be at least two months along right? we haven’t done anything because of your tour.” Christian whispered as he walked back to her side. Gaga nodded and took a deep breath in.

“Okay, shall we begin? Did you drink plenty of water?” Asked Dr. Shauna as she held the probe, Gaga nodded and the doctor pushed the probe up against her lower stomach, making Gaga’s urge to pee become stronger, almost unbearable. After a few minutes the doctor grabbed her pen and began to write.

“Okay Ms. Germanotta, you are approximately five weeks pregnant.” The doctor put her pen down after writing the information.

Gaga felt her breath get caught in her throat and Christians grip from around her hand loosen. The doctor took the probe off and wiped Gaga’s small stomach down with the cloth.

“Any questions?” She asked as she stood up and began to clean the probe.

“Um yeah, how quickly after sex can someone get pregnant? Minutes, hours, days?” Christian Asked.

“Pregnancy can happen as quickly as three minutes after sex or a couple days after.” The doctor placed the probe down.

“So in our case, she got pregnant when we had sex how many weeks ago?” He asked as he glanced at Gaga who sat there frozen.

“I’d say maybe 5 weeks like the ultrasound detected, you two could’ve had sex a few days before, so most six weeks.” The doctor nodded and Christian nodded letting Gaga’s hand go and sitting back in the chair.

“Any questions, Ms. Germanotta?” Dr. Shauna asked.

Gaga nodded and sighed, “the baby is healthy right? Is it possible to know if anything bad will happen? Like a miscarriage?” She was trying her best to stay calm.

“Everything looked fine, the lining of your uterus looks fine and so does everything else in there.” The doctor smiled and Gaga sighed relieved. “So i'll leave you two alone and you guys may let yourselves out.” She smiled and walked to the couple to shake their hands.

“Goodbye, thank you.” Gaga smiled, “I have one more question, for my next ultrasounds, where can I find you?” Gaga asked as she swung her feet off the bed.

“In this room, just make an appointment first.” She smiled and walked out of the room. She was greeted with Gaga’s family asking if everything was okay. “I can't share a patient's Information but you guys may enter after a few minutes, after they’ve had some time to talk.” She smiled and shook all their hands before walking away.

“Stefani, who’d you fuck six weeks ago.” Christian raised his voice, pacing the room.

“Oh please, don’t raise your voice.” Gaga rolled her eyes.

“Tell me.” He walked to her and looked into her eyes. She stayed silent and watched as anger grew in him. “Fucking tell me Stefani.” He spoke through his teeth.

“Taylor.” She whispered, “I fucked Taylor.” She spoke, she stood up and pushed him back, feeling a sort of rush seeing how angry he was getting, “he fucked me, it was the first time in three years that I’ve felt so good! And now I’m going to have his baby! I could never ask for anything more!” She threw her hands in the air and Cynthia walked into the room after hearing her daughters shouts.

“Stefani, what’s going on?” Cynthia asked as she walked to her daughters side.

“I’m leaving.” Christian stormed out of the room. Natali and Joe walked in looking very confused.

“What’s going on?” They both asked in unison and Gaga shook her head.

“Can we just go home, take me home please.” Gaga was shaking and Joe wrapped his arms around his daughter.

“Relax honey, we’re going home.” Joe held her closely and kissed her head. He looked at Cynthia who sighed and leaned into her youngest daughter who stood her arms around her mother.

“I’m going to bed.” Gaga spoke with tired puffy eyes, she had been crying not really knowing why. She walked up the steps of the stairs with tears falling down her cheeks.

“I think I should go talk to her.” Natali told her parents as she looked up at her sister who was now on her way to her room. Cynthia and Joe nodded, watching as Natali rushed up the steps.

Gaga walked to her bed and grabbed the pillow that belonged to Christian, throwing it causing it to hit the lamp, gravity pulling the lamp to the floor, she threw the blanket back and laid down.

“Stef, you okay?” Natali asked as she looked at the mess on the floor before sitting behind her sister.

“No Nat.” She cried into her pillow and Natali sighed and laid behind Gaga, wrapping her arm around.

“What’s wrong, Stef.” Natali tightened her grip and Gaga sighed.

“I’m just sad about Christian leavening, I don’t know why, these last few weeks have been horrible in this relationship.” She turned around and cuddled up to her sister.

“Well Stef, He was a part of your life and the father of your child, of course it’s going to hurt.” Natali ran her hand through her sisters hair.

“The baby isn’t his.” Gaga bit her lip and opened her eyes to look at her sister who looked extremely confused, “the baby’s father is Taylor.” Gaga sniffled, “And I miss him, and love him.”

“Taylor?” Natali asked and Gaga nodded.

“Yes Taylor.” Gaga sighed and wiped her eyes with the blanket.

“Go to sleep Stef, everything will be okay.” Natali closed her eyes after She made sure her bigger sister did the same.
