I Introduce The Selfish Machine

"That's it, nope. I'm leaving." I said, grabbing my purse out of the cart and storming off. "If you want food, pay for your own damn groceries."
"Piper, wait." I heard Tony say, followed by quick footsteps.
"I don't want to speak to you right now, Tony." The security guard stared at us as we walked out. I tried to walk faster, to get away from him, but his legs are longer than mine and he eventually caught up with me as I got to the car. I tried to open the door, but Tony pushed it shut again. I whipped around, ready to scream at him, but he spoke before me.
"I didn't mean to." He said, his eyes filled with tears.
I choked out a painful laugh, because that's all I knew what to do right now. I'm so angry, I want to laugh. "You didn't mean to? Well, explain this to me, Tony, out of all the times we've had sex, we haven't even had a scare and she pops up pregnant? Did you use a condom?" Tony broke eye contact with me. I slapped his arm. "You idiot! Oh my gosh, Tony! How stupid are you? You ejaculated in a bitch you met that night?"
"Piper, I was drunk, I didn't think anything would happen!"
"Well, look where we are now. Tell that stupid bitch to meet us at the apartment, and we'll figure something out. Get in the damn car." I snapped, then got in the driver seat, ready to drive away before Tony even got in the car.
Not a word was spoken on the twenty minute drive to the apartment. I was shaking, but no tears left my eyes. I was so angry, so upset with everything that happened this summer. First we break up, now this? This crap? I knew what I had to do, it was going to hurt, but at least it would keep me away from this.
I stomped up the stairs with Tony behind me. When we got to the door, Julie was sitting with her back against the door. She looked up at me.
"Well are you going to move? I have to unlock the door somehow." I snapped.
She stood up. "Jesus, sorry."
"Shut the hell up." I said, unlocking the door and swinging it open. "Your ass in not welcomed in here for long, I'm just letting you know." I threw my purse at the chair, but it hit the wall, spilling all of the contents out of it. Julie tried to sit down. "Stand the hell up."
"Piper." Tony said.
"Don't stand up for her, Tony. She's not welcomed here, and I don't want her touching anything."
Julie rolled her eyes. "Does she have to be here? Isn't this between you and me, Tony?" She asked Tony. Tony opened his mouth to answer, but I answered for her.
"Nope. I'm involved too because this is MY fiance, not yours." I crossed my arms and stared at her. She ruined everything. "Talk, hell, that's why you're here, isn't it?" Tony stayed standing next to her. I gave him a glare that told him he needed to move. Tony pushed himself towards me, but still behind Julie and I.
"I realized I missed my period, then I took a pregnancy test when I got home today. Point blank, end of story. And I know it's Tony because he's the only person I've had sex with recently."
"See, I don't believe that because I saw you hanging around Justin-"
"Justin too? Gosh, you're a homewrecker."
Julie's face turned red. "Does she have to be here?" She snapped.
Tony's eyes bounced between Julie and I. I stared at him, letting him know how much trouble he's already in. If he takes her side, I will explode. It just comes down to who he's more afraid of. "Yes, she has to be here." He said. I smirked at Julie. I'm the queen bee, bitch. I always win.
Then, I realized something. "Where's the test?"
Julie sighed. "I'm not answering your questions, I'll only answer Tony's."
"Alright, Tony, ask her where the test is."
Tony sighed. "Where's the test, Julie?"
"Well, that doesn't count because she told-"
"ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION." I said, raising my voice.
"I left it at home." She said.
That's fishy. She avoided answering my question, and now she doesn't have the test on her? If I were telling someone I was pregnant, I'd bring the test with me. "Well, lucky for you I keep a box just in case. You're going to take another one, because I don't believe a word you're saying."
"I don't have to pee."
"I'll give you some tap water. Either drink and pee, or tell the damn truth." She didn't answer, she just stood there, staring at me with so much anger. Her hands were in fist, and she looked like she was about to punch me. She didn't answer. I smiled. "Knew it."
"You're not pregnant?" Tony said, his voice shaking like he was afraid to get in the middle of this.
"I don't see why it's any of her business if I am or not!" She said, her voice rising.
"Because I'm about to marry her, Julie! So, damn it, are you pregnant or not!"
Her eyes filled with tears. "Alright, I'm not. But I didn't think it would be this hard to hide it. I see the way that bitch," she stared at me. "treats you and gosh, Tony, you deserve so much more than that. Didn't she kiss your best friend? Isn't this the girl who lied to you! Tony, I would never, ever lie to you, and I thought if I was pregnant you would see who was more important and leave her ass so I could show you what true love really is."
My jaw dropped. This bitch. "True love?" Tony said.
"Can't you see how much I love you, Tony?" She said, taking a step closer to him. She choked back the tears. "You mean the world to me." She extended her hands for him to take them. He jumped back.
"Get the hell away from me!" He was standing behind me now.
"Don't act like you don't love me too, Tony."
"You're psychotic." I said. She stopped and looked dead at me.
"This is between me and Tony, so shut up you coke snorting whore."
My jaw dropped. "Excuse me?" I took a step towards her. Tony grabbed my arm to hold me back, but I shook him off. I looked down at her, since she was shorter than me.
"You heard me, you're just some drug selling whore who thought it would be cool to screw a band guy." She said in a hushed tone with a bitchy smirk.
"Piper, don't listen to her." Tony said, grabbing my wrist. I shook him off, yet again.
"Oh, you want to talk about screwing band guys?" I asked in a hushed tone.
"At least I wasn't so upset when he left me that I tried to hook up with his best friend."
"Piper."
"I never tried to hook up with Mike. You don't know anything." Tony grabbed my wrist again. "Tony, stop, I'm not going to do anything."
"Oh, you're so damn rude. And you claim to love him?"
"You don't even understand how much I do."
"But, you don't even act like you do. Do you act this way around your niece, too?"
I felt the heat rise to my face. "Don't you dare bring up Payton." I snapped, my voice a little louder.
"Oh, what an attitude you have." She smiled, and I couldn't tell what she was thinking. She knew way too much about me, and bringing up Payton almost got her punched. She glanced behind me at Tony, then smiled even bigger before raising her voice so that Tony and I both could hear her and saying: "I bet your sister was grateful to get away from you."
And that's when I lost it.

Notes

It's a lot of dialogue, but I had a lot to say. Hope it was worth the wait.
