Goodbye Party-Chapter 11

Jenny smirked as Max walked along the pool looking pensive and holding a sweater. She was on her way to her house to find Shane and Tina after that highly unpleasant conversation with Bette.

"Hi Moira," Jenny said.

Max turned to her a glared. He didn’t even bother with a response. He simply continued walking and started kicking away some rocks and pool toys that were in the way.

"Wow Moira, this pregnancy is really making you glow," Jenny teased with a sneer.

Max continued to ignore her as he stopped in front of a pipe that was on the floor. "What is this?" He muttered picking it up and looking around for a spot where the pipe might’ve come from.

Jenny smirked, "why? Do you wanna put in your pants and pretend it’s a penis?"

Max rolled his eyes and said, "your little comments don’t bother me anymore Jenny."

Jenny snorted. "Please, don’t try to act all non chalant Moira…"

"You know Jenny, I felt my baby kick for the first time in my belly," Max said with a serene smile on his face. "And you know what, I’m okay with it. Maybe it’s okay to be Moira for now."

Jenny blinked in surprise. "Really?"

"Yeah Jenny," Max said twirling the pipe in between his fingers, "people grow and evolve."

Jenny shrugged and disappeared into the neighboring yard without saying a word.

As soon as Jenny disappeared someone walked out into the backyard. Max turned at the noise and saw Shane leaning against the wall and lighting a cigarette.

"Hi Shane."

Shane turned and smiled, "hey Max."

"I think Jenny went to the house to look for you," Max said.

"Oh Tina and I came through the front door," Shane said taking a drag of her cigarette. "Tina’s looking for her actually, so if you see her."

"Why is she looking for her?" Max asked.

Shane scoffed. "Turns out the bitch stole the ‘Lez Girls’ negatives that made Tina lose her job."
