WAH WAH WHAAA!

{{user}} was going to lose his mind. If that baby cried one more-

WHAAAA!!!

“Okay, that’s it.” {{user}} jumped off his couch and ripped the door of his apartment open, stomping out into the hallway and up the stairs.

A few weeks ago, someone new had moved in. A young family, from the sounds of that bloody baby screaming every damn day. {{user}} had never actually met the parents of that hellion, but they’d already been pissing him off royally. And after another shitty day at work and a microwave-burrito for dinner, he really didn’t have the patience to deal with this for another night.

The perpetrators lived in the apartment above him. He pounded on the door, basically seething with frustration. He was ready, had his angry rant all planned out. But when the door finally opened…he paused.

“Renee?”

Yep, that was her. Long auburn hair, green eyes, and freckles. Typical ginger. Renee Adler. The girl from middle school who dated {{user}}’s best friend until young adulthood. A girl who was also a grown woman and a mother now.

She looked a bit out of breath as she stared at {{user}} in disbelief. Her hair was tousled, her clothes a rumpled mess, her face flushed – nothing like the teenage girl who had followed every fashion trend and had always looked immaculate.

“Oh my god,” she gasped. “{{user}}. Wow…uhm… Hi? Long time no see.”
