"What?" There was no hiding my surprise at his words. I thought my ears were sinking me in deception. I hurried to stand in front of him to find answers to my questions.
"What happened?" I pushed further. I was in love with him, but I would never want their relationship to break apart.
"It just happened, and I don't know-" he sounded like he was lost on what to say, or do and so I shook my head at him.
"Save it, you don't have to force yourself to talk now. Let us get in the car, and you can explain it all to me. The rain could catch up with us if we aren't careful." I was surprised and I was almost sure his words were nothing but a random joke to get at me.
He sighed in frustration but opened the door and nodded in my direction so I understood he wanted me to go inside the car with him.
I went to the passenger side and waited for his explanation. "Okay, go ahead, speak." I said impatiently, maintai
By the time we arrived in front of our house. The rain had begun to pour in an unfriendly, torrential downpour. I was admittedly afraid to alight the vehicle as I feared getting wet. It was not enough that the rain was going to drench me, but it could come with the price of a cold and I was not ready to pay for it.Justine pulled into our parking lot and waited for me to get out of my seat belt before speaking. "I have an umbrella in the trunk but it is sized for only one person.""Then you can have it, I'm good. It's only a thirty seconds walk to the door." I shrugged, proceeding to open the car door and exit."What are you doing?" He stopped my movement, gently grabbing my wrist and halting my actions.I stared interestingly between his grip and him, deciding to blame the goosebumps on the chills from outside. "I'm heading outside?" I called in an unsure tone."Are you kidding right now?" He narrowed his eye
"How long have you known Justine?" I began, staring directly into her orbs."Why is that an important question?" She furrowed her eyebrows, letting go of the pillow she had held to her chest."Just answer me." I ignored her annoyance and continued with my statement."It's been over a year." She reluctantly provided, rolling her eyes at me. She must have found my question irrelevant but I was headed to a destination."A year is a long time to know a person, I'm certain that deep down, you have a feeling he has done nothing wrong but that strong part of you chooses to believe he has only done the wrong thing." I said to her. She put her lips in a pout."You should not let terrible friends influence you. Justine is a really hot guy," I paused to swallow the lump that had grown in my throat. "And basically every girl wants him. You know better than everyone that you are really lucky. Who knows how many
Becca looked like she was unsure of the scene around her because she rubbed her eyes to confirm that she was still awake. She stared between us both with a frown and instead of questioning the position she had met us like I would have suspected, she walked out of the room, slamming the door behind her."I'm dead meat." Justine panicked, getting to his feet in rushed motion. "She- she is going to tell it all to Caramel and that means I'm de..dead." He stuttered, unable to contain himself. I could only imagine what he felt like.I had tons of questions for him to deal with but I decided that talking to Becca was a lot more important and so I narrowed my eyes at him before taking long strides out the room, and tracing after my sister."Becca wait!" I called, managing to catch up with her when she was half way downstairs.I held her shoulder and got her to turn around from the effect of taking such an action."All
I ignored Caramel, turned on my heels to look at Becca with poison laced in my eyes and shoved Caramel out of my way, leaving out the door. I only managed to hear her ask Becca what my deal was before moving out of earshot.I was grateful that I had changed out of my wet clothes. Downstairs, Justine was seated on a couch, his face buried in his hands. On my arrival, he shot his head up to look at me. I could not exactly decide on how to react to his presence.I stared at him blankly and grabbed a jacket I found hanging on a nail by the door, not caring which one of my sisters it belonged to.I violently opened the door, touching my back pocket to confirm whether there was still change in there for me. Once I was certain I wouldn't end up getting stranded, I slammed the door behind me and headed straight to the bus stop, knowing the best place for me to go at the moment was to be with a man of distraction.*
I laid naked in bed beside Sam, the blankets being my source of shield from view. I kept thinking about the things I had done with him and how pleasurable they were."Ally?" He broke my thought cycle, drawing my attention back to the present."Yeah?" I mumbled, placing my head on his chest whilst he wrapped his arm around me."I was just thinking, would you like me to come over to your house? I would really love to be able to spend time with your family." He said. I pulled away from him sharply, holding the blanket around my chest while I sat up."What? Why?" I could not conceal my astonishment."I just thought, you and I have been bonding a lot more lately but I haven't got the opportunity to really connect with your family." He said, sitting up as well."Why is meeting my family important? You are in a relationship with me not them." I pointed out. "It is not like you and I are ge
"Come on, I'll drop you home." Sam suggested after a while of laying in bed together. It was almost six in the evening and we had spent time cuddling against each other."You don't have to worry about that, I'll do just fine-" I began to say but he shook my idea off."Don't even try to argue it out with me Ally. There is no way I am going to let you go all by yourself so don't even bother." He rolled his eyes, getting out of bed and expecting me to trail behind him."I know we talked about boundaries and i am definitely going to respect that but it's late and you can trust that I'm going to oppose you on this one." He picked his clothing that laid scattered around the room and tossed them into the laundry basket.He walked to his closet and began to create a new selection of outfit. I knew he was right and so I sighed, bending to retrieve my own clothes from off the floor.Admittedly, I'd had the best time with
I felt my heart crumble into pieces at her confession. I tried to read her face to gain answers to my unasked questions but her face was blank and expressionless. I could not decide if she was angered, surprised, or anything else at all for that matter."Wh- what did she say?" I knew it would be best to ask first before jumping into conclusions."You know how Becca can get? She surely said those words because you pointed out that she was not in a relationship." She began. I had no idea what it was she was talking about but I played along and followed her lead as she helped me up the stairs."That's enough reason to get mad at her but you know her just as much as I do, and you can always tell that she us the sweetest pumpkin in the patch." She sighed, slinging an arm over my shoulder, trying to appease with me to 'forgive' Becca for whatever it was that she had done."I guess you are right." I sighed, putting her han
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
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
