August 19th 1992

It had been a week since Dennis's "proposal" and I was still debating whether or not to listen to him it was also a few days before my brother would be here. Since after I called him , he practically begged me not to make any decisions until he got there and since he wouldn't be here for a few more day's I practically ignored Dennis so I wouldn't be tempted to decide. After digging through my closet I found a patterned sun dress since I had the day off , after getting dressed I walked out into the kitchen to see no Billy who must've still been asleep. I opened the fridge to retrieve the milk for my cereal only to see the milk carton was empty , I sighed before throwing it into the recycling bin. I then pulled out a peice of notebook paper and grabbed a pen so I could write a grocery list , about half way through writing my list Billy walked out of his room saying "what's that" I sighed saying "a grocery list" he nodded before saying "I think were out of milk" I nodded silently instead of giving him the 'obviously' eye roll which is what I wanted to do. After compiling a grocery list I grabbed my bag as Billy spoke again saying "hey are you gonna need a ride" I shook my head saying "no it's a beautiful day" he sighed saying "I wouldn't call that a beautiful day" he then gestured towards to the water stained window "oh" I said as he tossed a set of keys saying "go easy on the breaks and don't play any of that garbage on the radio". I ignored his comment saying "thanks" he nodded before walking back to his room. As I exited the apartment I couldn't help but be grateful for him lending me his car since mine was in the shop on and off and Dennis wasn't so keen on someone driving his car who wasn't himself. When I got down to where the Camaro was always parked I unlocked before having to fix the mirror since there was a small height difference between Billy and myself , I had driven the Camaro a few times but I still wasn't an expert but it was a better idea of me driving it than Billy since he would usually drive like a bat out of hell and I was a bit more of a relaxed driver unless you asked the love of my life.

A half an hour later I was putting items in my cart when I felt my feet move from the ground and hearing the familiar sound of chuckling I turned to see Dennis with a small basket a grocery besides him. I sighed before playfully swatting Dennis's chest saying "jesus Dennis you scared me" he responded saying "well maybe if I had been seeing you lately we could've come here together". I sighed saying "I didn't know you needed groceries" he shrugged before saying "is this about the other day" I shook my head saying "no I've just been busy" I lied I couldn't belive it I lied to him , Dennis and I had been together for seven years and I had just lied to him although I had lied to him about a dress he had bought me for our anniversary that was beyond hideous. He nodded saying "oh well can I join you" I nodded before beginning to walk down the isle with Dennis. After our shopping was complete and the small storm from earlier had cleard Dennis and I walked out of the store and began making our way to were our cars , just as we were getting to were I knew the Camaro was parked before Dennis pulled me towards the window of a jewelry store before he spoke saying "did you talk to Billy" I shook my head as he added "do you see anything you like" he then gestured towards the display of rings in the window. I shrugged saying "there all really pretty" he nodded saying "so what are we doing this weekend". I responded saying "my brothers coming into town" Dennis huffed saying "seriously Y/n , why" I responded saying "because he hasn't visited in a while" Dennis sighed saying "did he find a real job or is he still making like five dollars an hour". I rolled my eyes saying "that's enough Dennis he's my brother" he nodded saying "I know babe but-" he cut himself off when we got to the Camaro. As I opened the backseat and put the few bags that I had Dennis spoke again saying "where's your car" I responded saying "in the shop , the um battery has been acting up again". He nodded saying "well next time you can call and I can co,e pick you up" I nodded as he added "or if we lived together we could've just gotten up this morning and gone out for breakfast and then gotten groceries". I signed before he said "just think about it" I tuen closed the door of the Camaro before Dennis pulled me into a kiss , and for some reason kissing Dennis right now felt so foreign , almost like I wasn't kissing my boyfriend but a complete stranger. It felt so awkward and like it was a first kiss all over again which wasn't really that memorable in the first place. After driving home and carrying the groceries to the elevator I couldn't help but continue to think about the interaction with Dennis earlier . Were we drifting apart , was I really ready to marry Dennis I mean I thought I loved him but that was the worst kiss I ever had and I kissed Tommy Hagen in the 9th grade , but that kiss with Dennis was just plan awful. I didn't know what I was going to do but on top of everything know I had to decide if I wanted to move in with Dennis , I had always lived with Billy since we moved to California and I couldn't think about waking up and not having breakfast with Billy or going to take a walk together on the beach or going to Ed's for dinner. I knew I had to wait for my brother before making that decision , since the two of us always went to each other before making extreme decisions. When I opened the door to my apartment I wasn't greeted by the smell of stale cigarettes but the smell of clean laundry which was odd. As I placed the groceries onto the counter and began to put the groceries away I heard the sound of Billy's laughter mixed with the sound of someone else's chuckling. I placed the box of cereal onto the counter before walking into the living room to see Billy sitting on the couch next to my brother , Oh great he's early.
