It was time for another school day. Becca was already out of bed by the time I had come awake, like she always was. I got rid of my blankets, stretched and yawned before getting to my feet.
I made my bed and changed into my bath robe. During the time I spent in the bathroom, I ensured that my mind was free of all forms of thoughts. I particularly did not want to be carried away, thinking about the only person that crossed my mind.
I wasted no time before joining my parents and sisters on the breakfast table.
"Good morning." I called lazily at them, pulling out a chair and taking my seat. I had worn a simple outfit, nothing extra with a red sweater and a pair of black tights, matching it with my pair of white converse.
"Morning Ally." My dad was the first to call back in his cheery tone. He had his reading glasses on and a newspaper was in his hand.
"Since when do you read the paper at breakfast?" I
I was headed down to a cafeteria to eat. I had one class left after the break and I could not wait to go home. It was only a matter of time before I was eventually done with schooling but it seemed like such a long time away especially given all the factors I was surrounded with.I pulled my phone out to check for updates. Justine had left as soon as the class ended, not even waiting to talk to even me. I knew he was going straight to Caramel to make up for the lost day and thinking about it was posing a threatening headache."Ally!" An excited voice yelled from behind me. I would pick that British accent anyway. Pronouncing my name like that was exclusive to her.A wide smile spread on my face as I turned around on my heels to meet the face of the caller. It was none other than Hazel."Bitch!" I yelled, charging towards her without care. I jumped into her arms and she didn't hesitate to catch me. I ignored the atte
I blinked a few times so I could draw myself back to reality. I had to calm my nerves. My feelings of jealously were getting hard to control.Hazel still didn't let go of me. She tightened her grip around my wrist. I forced a smile and laughed at the expressions on their faces. They both looked like they had seen the most terrifying horror movie of their lives."You should have seen your faces." I continued to laugh, holding my belly to support myself from pretending to fall from the 'effect' of the laughter."Ally are you okay?" Caramel stepped in front of Justine, doubting me and folding her arms across her chest."I'm definitely okay." I dried a fake tear with my finger. "You two should have seen your faces. You looked like you were going to explode." I noticed how Justine's face relaxed and he seemed relieved."I was just messing with ya'll." I playfully rolled my eyes, freeing my hand from Haze
I placed my bag on the couch, realizing I was in for a longer day than I had expected. First off, Hazel with was with me. She had driven straight home with me from school. I had let Becca go all by herself so I drove back with her."Can you believe the energy of this guy?" She sat crossed leg on our sofa and typed aggressively on her phone.I was terrible at making snacks as was generally known but I wasn't ready to let her slip without having to eat something. "What guy?" I rolled my eyes at her.She was known for constantly switching up with guys.Unlike me, she was not a fan of loving in one direction. It had been a major decision of hers that I accepted Sam's relationship proposal just so I could get rid of clouding my thoughts with Justine and even though it had not worked out very well for me, I still had a great with him."Alex. The guy just broke up with me, what kind of energy is that?" She sounded li
His movements continued in that manner and I felt his erection sprout against my back. It was wrong and I knew I had to tell him but I was lost in a world filled with lust and could only concentrate on this factor.He slipped his hand through my hoodie and professionally unstrapped my bra. He was better than I expected him to be. I bit on my lower lip to hold back a moan that threatened to escape.I thought things planned on going my way until he held my waist and turned me around. I widened my eyes simultaneously after him. He pulled away from me like he had been electrically shocked.I shook my head as fast as possible. It was not going to happen this time. We were not going to stop things again. There was no Caramel nor Becca to pose as an obstruction.I took quick steps towards him while he took faster steps backwards. He had gotten me into this boat and he was not going to leave it to capsize.
"No, no. This can't be happening." I paced around the room, mumbling so she wouldn't hear my voice. I had expected that she would eventually show up, but I didn't think it would be so quick.I put one hand on my forehead. "Calm down!" Justine whisper yelled at me. He placed his hands on my shoulders. I could not pay attention to our nakedness at the moment."We will figure this out." The way he considered us a team got me to calm a minute. "First off, we get dressed, you make the bed and I'll find a way to hide. You distract her and lead her downstairs, I hurry out of her bedroom and head straight out the back door." I shook my head in disbelief of how fast it seemed to be that he had come up with a plan. He seemed to have thought about the repercussions of our actions beforehand."Are you sure this will work?" I asked with a racing heart. By now, Caramel had intensified her knocking on the door."
"Justine?" Caramel stared wide- eyed at him. She turned to look at me, her hands on her waist, even though she was referring to him. "What are you doing in here?" She sounded like she was about to cry, her words croaking at the end."I..." The worried look on his face was indescribable. I could feel his torture because this involved me just as equally. My heart pounded in my chest and it felt about to explode in any minute."What is going on in here? Is someone going to tell me or what?" She stepped forward, closing the distance between us. It was hard to put up with a confident face when I was frightened to the peak."I can explain." I fiddle with the hem of the hoodie I was in, unable to understand how I managed not to stutter."Explain what?" Her eyebrows were drawn together and her eyes had gone blood red in anger. "What the fuck is happening?"Justine stepped between us both and I was grateful
I met Hazel waiting downstairs. She had been pacing around the room, obviously in a disordered mood. She stopped walking as soon as she looked up to meet my gaze.She let out a gasp of shock and met me by the foot of the stairs. "What on earth happened?!" She asked in a loud whisper.I felt like Caramel was within earshot everywhere I went and so I placed one finger on my lips. "Grab your bag and let's leave." I ordered instead. I could not help but feel that my sister was randomly going to pop out of nowhere.Thankfully, Hazel did not argue and nodded to do as she was told. She picked her hand bag from off the couch and led me outside with her.Once we were in the car, and on the road, did I have the audacity to resume my speech. "First off, Hazel, you are crazy! What were you thinking?""Befire I decide what to feel, care to tell me what exactly happened back in the room? Did Caramel walk in on yo
I took my phone tothe camera app. I felt the need to capture the moment in case I needed it in my defense. I zoomed in on them both and made sure their identities were clear. As soon as I had confirmed they had not noticed my intrusion, I turned around to leave. I knew instantly that this new piece would baffle Hazel deeply.She was still waiting on the bench and she eyed me interestingly. "What happened? Where is Justine, did things turn out fine?" She scanned her eyes at me, waiting for my answer.I sighed at the memory of his angered walk away from me. "Well, he clearly wants nothing to do with me anymore. Especially, since I__" I trailed off to add airquotes that suit my expression, "I'm responsible for trying to break them apart.""What the fuck? Why would he even say that?" She frowned, riled on my behalf."It is beyond me." I rolled my eyes in soreness. Recalling why I was interested in talking even in
Justine seemed like he had been carried away when he said the words and so shook his head in disbelief, yelling my name after me. "Ally, wait!" He called.I did not wait, nor did I stop running. I began to cry automatically. I should have known there would be negative consequences for being with him. I was waiting for it, not in this form but I had expected it t
It was almost six in the evening. Sam and I were back from the hospital. I had made sure he went through the proper examination and that his ailment was diagnosed before we came back to his condo. Thankfully, he was not stuck in a situation so worse that he was unable to return to his base. Upon my arrival at his place and seeing him so inactive, I had expected him to be hospitalized but he took me by surprise, still standing tall to his feet, a lot more strengthened than previously.The doctor had administered some pills that would ease his pain and commit him to healing as soon as he could keep up with dedication. I was trying my best not to be judgemental about his situation but he looked like the kind of person that did not believe in pills. I was almost certain he would stop taking them as soon as he thought he felt better, not when the doctor had ordered.
BeccaI picked a book from my school bag, ready to dive into the knowledge that came with school. I picked my phone up to set it to vibrate so there would be no distractions from people while I chose to study. Whilst taking the action, a surprising phone call came in, causing me to furrow my eyebrows suspiciously. It was from Sam, my sister's previous boyfriend."What's up?" I rhetorically directed before putting the phone up to my ear and answering it."Becca?" He called in a choking voice. That instantly got me to feel worried."Sam? Is everything okay?" I needed to know, crossing my leg over the other and bracing myself for some bad news as even from the sound of h
"Call us when you need anything." My mother made sure to warn as soon as I was at the dorm once more. I rolled my eyes for the umpteenth time but nodded in understanding."Sure mom, I pretty much heard you the first one hundred times." I teased, placing my bag filled with healthy food items my mother had forced me to take with me."You have to call me a lot more often so I can keep updating, promise me that." She pleaded with me."I assure you I will try my best." I said, even being aware I was not willing to constantly phone her and keep her updated on my life."Bye dear." My mother waved me off and I watched her leave down the hall before raising my head to the hall
"What?" Becca was the first to break the silence in the room. I noticed the smug look on Caramel's face as she shut her eyes tight. She was trying her best to contain her emotions, that was evident."What do you mean you are pregnant? My mother added in a faint voice.I swallowed, they had still been unable to decide on how to react to the words I had told them."It's true." I stood to my feet, sighing on the words, "the doctor said that today while I was at the hospital.""Wow," Caramel stood up after me, "that means you two were already involved in each other even before I identified as bisexual?" She felt hurt.
Ally"Wait!" Justine continued to call behind me. I had no particular destination I was headed but I went straight for it. For some reason, it felt safer to leave the premises to go ahead and think about it.Justine increased his pace and eventually managed to catch up with me. "Ally." He grabbed my arm from behind.I spun around to meet his gaze. I wanted to know what he had to say to this matter but instead of talking, he faced me in the same manner. It was as if he was expecting the same from me."I can't have a child now. My life is ruined." I began to sob.He held me at arms length. "Why? What e
"Pregnant?" I repeated after the doctor. I was sure I had heard him wrong. "Excuse me?" I alarmed, afraid to face the words I had just heard. I could feel myself getting choked up by the air around me. It was eerie. I hoped the doctor would claim his words were a joke, else I braced myself for another round of unhealthy unconsciousness."Yes, ma-am, you are..." he could already tell that I was not taking the news well because he had his doubts with containing enthusiasm in his voice on my behalf."No!" I screamed, turning to look at Justine. It was barely even a week since I had unprotected sex with Justine at the party but I never hoped thought that it could lead to having to carry his child. It was not my first time having risky sex and none of them ever resulted in pregnancy.
"Who is that?" Sam let go of Caramel, his personal fear setting in from the effect of the shock that followed the sudden intrusion of what he must have tagged an unknown presence."Caramel, I give you the count of three. Don't make me do something as funny as call the cops on you." Justine sounded so determined. For my state of mind, I would have been particularly interested in screaming his name but I was weaker than a day old child and I felt as if all the blood that flowed through my veins had been drained."How did he get here?" She began to panic, pacing around the room. "This is bad." She declared. They were clearly not professional enough and hence risked getting caught whether or not they tried to avoid it."Who the heck is he?
"You do?" Hazel sounded relieved, yet bothered at the same time. I nodded in affirmation. "There is one place Caramel would go that no one else in the world would and if my statistics are right, that is affirmative where she is." I told her, turning around to the passenger side of the car, hoping both women would follow me into her car while we went on the search for Ally."Are you suggesting that we left for there?!" Hazel was alarmed, staring at me in utter disbelief."Why not?" I narrowed my eyes between them both seeing as Ride looked like she was against my opinion as well."If this has to with the cops, let us get there first and confirm. Knowing Cara, she is a
