Claire looked in his direction and he froze on the spot. “Who is he?” Claire asked slowly.

“My friend,” I replied. “Your friend? Tell him to sit with them,” she said. Sebastian waved at her, and I knew that the reaction was impulsive.

She waved at him also. “Good evening,” she greeted, but Sebastian didn't reply. He could only nod his head because he didn't want his voice to be recognized.

“Can't he talk?” She asked. “Hmmm….. the thing is that ….. he is shy, that's why,” I lied.

I was so bad at it. Claire looked puzzled when she saw me stuttering. “Hey, she's not a stranger,” I laughed awkwardly, trying to soothe the atmosphere.

    Claire’s POV.I went to the restroom to fix my makeup. Sebastian was so cool and I wanted to make a good impression.My phone rang, and I picked it up. I checked the caller ID and it was my mom.“Hello Mom,” I said. “Hey!!” She yelled from the other end, and I immediately moved the phone away from my ear.“I am not deaf mom, what is it?” I said tiredly. “Your father is not home yet, I am sure he is with his mistress,” she said angrily over the phone.I shook my head disappointedly because that wasn't the first time I would be called for such matters. She never called me to ask for my whereabouts, but she always kept a tab on her husband. The two were so toxic and inconsiderate. They don't take care of their kids and always fight. Divorce was like slang in my house.“Mom, I am sure he is on his way,” I responded. “He is so annoying he is not picking up my calls,” she said from the other end.“He will, he must be busy driving,” I said. “Well, you are right, bye, let me try it one more

She was fully aware of how my marriage had been crumbling.“You will be fine,” she hugged me when she noticed how broken I was. I was more down thinking about Bryan than my marriage.“Thank you, your hug helped,” I smiled. “You are welcome, you should eat,” she said. “I am not hungry,” I said. “Really?” She asked and I nodded at her.“You should go to bed early then,” she said. I nodded and she left the room.I sighed, feeling a little bit better.I couldn't sleep and felt so bad for Bryan. I couldn't help but think about him every second.

Why?” She asked.“You can skip school today, I will help you keep my notes,” I said. “No, it's the test week,” she said. “Oh yeah, I can m

I reached out to my phone and noticed Giselle's number on my call history. “Did I call her?” I asked myself.I didn't remember calling her, I tried to remember, but it kept giving me a headache. I shrugged it off, knowing I could call her when I was drunk. I know I could act like that when I get drunk.I got out of bed and went to my kitchen to drink water.

I was sure I didn't tell him about Giselle.I turned to Seb and he looked away which made me realize that he was the one who told him about Giselle.“I love her, and if you are here to tell me to do otherwise you can use the door,” I blurted.

The doctor became silent. “What's wrong, say something doctor!” I panicked.“She inhales a lot of smoke, and she bled too much, the fetus is at risk, and it is dangerous for her health so we might consider an abortion to make her safe,” he said.My jaw dropped hearing that I knew how much Giselle wanted a baby, but knowing I was the cause of all the circumstances I felt horrible.“Is there no other way?” I asked. “There is, but the patient's life will be at risk; she might not make it,” the doctor said.I shook my head unconsciously. “I don't want to lose her,” “Wh____ Dr. Niel!” I wanted to talk, but I was interrupted by a nurse coming
