Better late than never. I finally got around to trading in my Cruze for a Chevy Equinox with blacked-out windows two hours after my conversation with Xavior’s trifling ass. Who knew he could be so paranoid? The more I’ve been getting to know him post-breakup, the more I realize that I was living with and wanted to have a baby with a total stranger. Hopefully, there won’t be any other mistakes, at least not where this car is concerned. It’s compact, unassuming, and blends in perfectly in suburbia, and the gas mileage is a big advantage over my old car. The tinted windows make it impossible for anyone to see what is going on inside the car, but they aren’t dark enough to be creepy or get me pulled over by the police. This allows me to watch Xavior and Jessika’s house from afar, and I’ve practically made this car my headquarters for planning out my revenge. I’ve now successfully followed them both on their trips to work and various doctor’s appointments. I can’t believe he thought I was the dramatic and overly anxious one because it seems like almost every day that this girl is going to the doctor as she prepares to birth their little bastard. Must be nice though, I never got the pleasure of getting that far in my pregnancy, thanks to Xavior, and he definitely never held my hand during any appointments. I don’t know what this bimbo has done to make Xav turn into Prince Charming all of a sudden. His transformation from bland nobody to doting father of the year makes my head spin.

In between physically following them, I have also skillfully memorized their profiles and watched over any and all activity of their FaceSpace pages, with the countdown of her scheduled cesarean section pinned to the top of her account. I grip my steering wheel a little tighter when I see today’s date. I have finalized my plan, and I can’t back down now. Tomorrow will be the day, a true day of reckoning for us all. He hurt me for way too long to just act like I don’t matter, that our dead babies don’t matter, all while having the audacity to ask if I’m parked outside his house. He needs to know what real pain feels like, an amount of pain that only I will be able to inflict upon his worthless life.

All of this planning and scheming does come at a cost though, and it makes the crying and throwing up feel like child’s play. My anxiety has been killing me leading up to this day. I always feel like I need to eat, but after a few bites I feel like I’m going to throw it right back up, and I usually do. I’m exhausted all of the time but also too wired to sleep more than a few hours at a time. I’ve also been feeling more detached from the world around me like it’s all happening far away while I’m stuck in my head.
