"You want to move out?" My mother sounded astonished by my delivered piece of information. I had expected a similar reaction but I didn't think she would grow as pale.

"Why would you want to move out?" My father said, speaking for the first time in the scene.

I had no idea if it was right to explain how ignorant they were and how their reaction am yesterday had birthed my suggestion, but I decided against it.

"Mother, father." I cleared my throat, hoping I sounded the best version of a polite child. "Don't worry. Don't go thinking it's all because of yesterday. Yes, it inspired my suggestion but trust that it is something that had been going on in my mind for a really long time." I started. No matter the conviction they needed to her, I had made my mind up and there was no going back.

"But Ally, your father and I-" my mother began but I was sharp enough to cut her short.

"You see, mom, that is the p

    Hazel followed inside with me. I was carried away by my lust for this stranger's free suggestion to have her room that I paid no attention to the look of disapproval on my friend's face."Wow!" I blurted out with pleasure. One side of the room was covered with banners of tattooed citizens from ceiling to floor and I loved how it brought the room to life."This is simply beautiful." I commented, eating the interior decoration with my eyes.The other three walls were painted in a dull chocolate brown colour. One side of the room had an empty bed bunk I proposed belonged to her former roommate.The room was strangely neat. There was a reading desk close to the window tha

    "Mom, dad, I'm home." I announced, walking into the house and shutting the door behind me. Everything was in order and I could blame the neatness on Becca. She walked out of the kitchen holding a broom in her hands that were dressed with long cleaning gloves. I marveled on how she rarely ever got bored of doing such things that I played lazy with. "They are not home from work, save your breath." She rolled her eyes at me."Really?" I furrowed my eyebrows. They usually came home a lot early on Fridays. These days, I realized the inconsistency that followed working but I had paid less attention to it."Yes, really." She shrugged, wasting no time to drop the news. "How was your search for a dorm room?" She took the gloves off, "any progr

    I blinked a few times to get a better image of what was going on around us. Caramel added more fuel to the fire, taking her time to kiss this lady.Admittedly, I felt my heart sink from the shock of the incident before me. My mother had gone frozen to the ground. Caramel pulled away from her kiss with a huge grin and then turned to look away, stopping when she caught our gazes.Her eyes widened and she looked like she had seen a sea of ghosts. Once she made eye contact with my mother, my mother fell back, landing in my hands.Caramel blinked, unable to keep eye contact with me. She took me by surprise, dashing out of the room and heading straight for the steps. Without thinking to help me get our mother back to stability, she was very

    "What is it?" He drew his eyebrows together, demanding that I proceeded with talking. I was uncertain as to how I could tell him all about it."Em-" I trailed off, swallowing a nervous lump in my throat. I wondered if I could just let Caramel tell him for herself but the mighty lust that constantly empowered my soul warned me otherwise."It's about Caramel." I sighed. He rushed to stand beside me and held me tight in his grip. "Why, what is wrong with her?" He gripped my shoulders and shook me slightly. "Is she okay?" How could she have chosen to let go of a man that loved her well enough."She is. I wanted her to be the one to deliver this to you but she is..." I was unable to complete my statement as the sudden swing of the bedroom c

    I had no time to ponder on how he was present at the gathering. My mind only thought about the benefits that came with his presence in the room.I was not a newbie when it came to playing truth or dare but I was certainly not complaining. The noise was deafening but I resisted paying attention to the hooligans and noise pollutants. "Ooh!" Someone blurted from behind.Justine blinked multiple times. It seemed like he had only just noticed my presence. I crawled towards him and the murmurs from the people involved in the game intensified. They looked like the type of people that were used to these kinds of moments. "What are you doing here?" Justine mumbled against my

    "Ally... Ally?" The constant call for my name brought me to reality and I could not help but wince at whoever it was.It felt like the presence of a heart on a forehead, but I suffered a terrible headache."Hm?" I mumbled, still keeping my eyes closed."You should get ready to leave for school." I recognized in that instant that the voice belonged to Ride."School?" I peeked an eye open. "It's almost eight in the morning." She informed me, a smile on her face. I groaned in disapproval, stirred and pulled the blankets over my head rather than oblige to her consideration.

    "Here we are." I inserted the key into the door hole and turned twice. Justine stood behind me with the men we had met downstairs. They had been responsible for transporting my bed and he had willingly joined to help."Thank you so much." I sighed in appreciation, holding the door in place while they hurled the huge bed into the room and on to the empty bed bunk.It was a bed sized just for two and it fit perfectly into the empty bunk. Even though I knew the men had been paid, I picked my purse and tipped them off to show my appreciation. "It's nothing, miss." One of the blonde men said in an unfamiliar accent.They all left my presence, leaving Justine and I alone i

    I remained fixed to the standing position I was, unable to move from the unexpected arrival. "What are you doing here? How do you even know I live here now? What... weren't you supposed to be away for two weeks?" It felt like it was happening too soon and I had no right way to deliver my words. He had no right to intervene just like that.The smile he previously wore was turned upside down and a look of disappointment etched his facial features. He suspected something was wrong and I could feel it."What is wrong? Aren't you excited to see me?" He asked in a voice that rendered him like he was shattered. It was not my intention to make it so obvious that I hated his sudden presence but my feelings were not possible to be concealed."I

    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
