"Will you be my date tonight, Belle?" Tony's question catches me off guard. My mind races as I blink, trying to process the various thoughts that flood in.I'm still trying to recover from my recent breakup with my ex-boyfriend. I had no desire to see him after he ended our relationship, and I hadn't seen him since. But now, an inexplicable desire to confront him, even if only once, wells up in me. I need to know the genuine reason behind his decision to break my heart.
I had given him everything – my heart, body, and soul. I loved him wholeheartedly, but all he did was shatter my heart into countless pieces. I'm still picking up the fragments, attempting to mend them. I'm holding onto the hope that one day, my heart will heal.
Tony's invitation to go on a date is stirring up the pain of my past. Three months have passed since Cameron broke up with me, yet the pain remains as fresh as if it had happened only a day ago. The wound is still raw, still stinging in my heart.
I'm at a loss for words in response to Tony's question. I don't want to mislead him. After all, he's already asked me to be his girlfriend, and I declined. If I agree to this date, would it imply that we're a couple? I'm not prepared for another relationship; it's too soon.
"Belle," Pam calls out, interrupting my thoughts. We're sitting in the school cafeteria, and Tony popped this question after we've had lunch. I've been feeling unwell since the morning when I arrived at school. I informed Pam that I would skip my classes for the rest of the day.
"Alright, Tony," I finally agree. His face lights up with excitement, and Pam claps her hands in approval.
"But I'm still not your girlfriend," I declare loudly, making sure Tony hears me. He manages to conceal his disappointment and replaces it with a smile.
"It's okay. We'll take it slow."
"Alright." I stand up, and Pam follows suit. I sling my schoolbag over my shoulder, ready to go home. I'm starting to feel dizzy again, just like earlier in the morning, before my first class, and I can't help but wonder why.
"We're going to head out, Tony. Thanks for lunch," Pam expresses her gratitude.
"My pleasure," he responds with an enthusiastic grin. He's clearly delighted about our plans for tonight.
"Goodbye, Tony." I wave at him and walk toward the exit with Pam.
"Alright, Belle. I'll be there to pick you up when it's time," he calls out as we make our way toward the campus gate. I glance back and offer him a nod and a sweet smile.
"I think I'll skip class too," Pam mumbles while we're walking towards the campus gate, where I plan to hail a cab.
"No need," I object.
"I'll give you a ride home," she insists.
I offer my friend a grateful smile. Lately, I've been feeling feverish and dizzy, suspecting it might be related to my newly resumed exercise routine. I had stopped exercising for three months following the breakup and just picked it up again the day before.
"Someone's going on a date. Someone's about to become someone's girlfriend," Pam teases, breaking into song.
"Pam, it's just a date. Besides, it's too soon. I'm not ready. It's only been three months..."
"Isn't three months enough to move on from a breakup?" She widens her eyes inquiringly.
"I feel it's too soon."
"Relax, babe. Just go with the flow and see how it turns out. I want you to enjoy tonight. The last time you had fun was three months ago, remember?"
"That was a disaster," I admit, recalling the events of that night and the impulsive encounter with the stranger.
"A disaster, indeed," Pam laughs. "Because you ended up getting intimate."
"Please, stop it," I implore her to cease her teasing. I feel uneasy whenever she brings up that topic.
"I can't help but wonder why you're so tight-lipped about that night," she comments.
"Because I'm not proud of it," I confess.
"What?" Pamela chuckles as she retrieves her car keys from her bag and jingles them. "You're not proud of something as incredible as getting intimate on the second day after your breakup? It's quite an achievement, Belle. If you're not proud of it, well, I'm super proud of you, baby girl."
"Whatever."
"Whatever," Pamela says, rolling her eyes.
We both share a laugh, then we reach the parking lot and make our way to Pamela's car.
"Tony would be really happy if you accepted his offer, you know?" Pamela says.
"Shut up and let's go," I snap at her.
A wave of dizziness washes over me again, and I almost stumble to the ground, but I clutch the car handle. I hold on tightly and close my eyes. When I open them, Pam is already inside the car, looking at me with concern.
"What's wrong, Belle?"
I want to answer her, but no words come out. As I close my eyes once more, I find myself falling to the ground and slipping into unconsciousness.
Upon regaining consciousness, I sense someone holding my hand.
It's Pamela.
Pamela is seated beside the bed, her eyes filled with sympathy. When she realizes I'm awake, she sits up straight.
"Belle," she softly calls.
"My daughter," another voice chimes in. It's then that I notice my mother on the other side of my bed. I turn my head slowly to meet her green eyes. I bear a striking resemblance to her, except for my auburn hair.
"Mom?" I whisper.
"You scared us," she says as she briefly hugs me right on the bed. When she steps back, her teary eyes are visible.
My mother is a strict but emotionally connected woman. Ever since my father passed away, she has been working tirelessly to provide for our family and ensure I receive an education.
"What happened, mom?" I ask, filled with curiosity.
"You lost consciousness," she informs me. I nod as I recall what happened. I turn to face Pamela. She smiles at me and touches my hand again.
"I was so scared," she adds.
"What did the doctor say? I'm still feeling feverish," I ignore her comment and grimace in pain.
"He conducted some tests, but he hasn't shared the results with us yet," Pamela responds.
"I hope it's nothing serious. I can't afford to lose you," she says as she plants a gentle kiss on my forehead.
"I'll be fine, mom," I assure her. We fall silent, and I watch my mom, hoping everything is okay. I can sense her anxiety, knowing that she'd be devastated if it turns out to be a life-threatening illness. While pondering what it could be, the doctor enters the room.
It's the doctor.
"Doctor," my mother stands up abruptly.
"You're awake," the doctor greets me with a smile. I nod in response.
"I hope everything is alright?" My mother inquires, her eyes still locked onto the doctor's face.
"It's good news," he says with a wide grin.
Pamela and I exchange a quick glance, while my mother continues to anticipate the news. The doctor's smile is reassuring enough that it's not bad news, even before he confirms it.
I wonder what the good news is.
"Your daughter is three months pregnant. Congratulations," the doctor announces.
"What?" All of us exclaim in shock.

Pamela had dropped us off, and the tension had only grown during the silence that lingered as we entered our home.I bite my lower lip, overwhelmed by regret, and I don't know how to respond to my mother.

I know my mother must be terribly disappointed in me, and her harsh words cut deep."Who the hell did you have sex with, Belle?" My mother yells at me, her words laced with anger. "Aren't you going to answer me, you loose girl?""Mom, I'm not loose," I retort with anger rising in my voice. "Why are you calling me a loose girl when you don't even know how I got pregnant?""Then talk! Your silence is killing me," she snaps. "How will you cope with this and your academics?

Zayden perspective I observed the scene unfolding between my father and Mila.How did they know each other? Am I involved with one of my father's acquaintances? I wondered.Mila barely meets my father's gaze, displaying immense respect for him, which piques my curiosity about the connection between them.I've been searching for a way to get rid of her, and understanding her relationship with my father might provide a solution, I thought to myself."You've got yourself a beautiful young lady; I had no idea you'd started dating again," my father commented as he took a seat in my office after Mila had left.I maintained a composed expression, wondering about the purpose of his visit. He doesn't typically come to my workplace, and I haven't been answering his calls. We haven't seen each other for a year."Why are you here?" I asked, my tone stern.He chuckled lightly. "Why wouldn't I be in my son's company? That's quite preposterous," he gestured with his hands to emphasize the ridiculou

Daisy-Belle perspective I'm getting ready for school, recalling the conversation I had with my mom yesterday. Although I don't entirely agree with her advice, I understand her financial struggles. I put on ripped blue jeans, a white shirt, a brown duster jacket, and gray sneakers. After dressing, I check my appearance in the mirror and apply some makeup. I bid my mom farewell, head outside, and flag down a cab, fortunate to find one quickly. A short ride later, I arrive at the campus, pay the cab fare, and enter. Today, I plan to speak with my friend Pamela about my pregnancy and my decision.Pamela is a supportive friend who doesn't pressure me to reveal things I'm not ready to discuss, unlike my mom. She knows I'll confide in her when I'm prepared. This is something Pamela has understood about me that my mom hasn't. I want to talk, and Pamela is the person I trust to share my fears with. She doesn't pick me up from home every day, and today is one of those days.Before I know it, I

Daisy-Belle's Perspective (POV):I'm relieved that the words are finally out, so I exhale deeply, realizing I had been holding my breath. To my surprise, Pam remains silent. I expected her to react with shock or question my decision, but she doesn't say anything.I gradually open my eyes and turn to look at her. She's just observing me, her face devoid of any expression. I can't discern her thoughts or whether she supports my choice. I lower my head, waiting for her response.Pamela has always been the more mature one between us, and I frequently seek her advice. She's like a second mother to me, and I love her dearly."You want to abort the baby?" She finally demands."Yes," I reply sharply."Why?" Her voice is soft.I shrug. "Mom and I talked last night, and we...""And she suggested you have an abortion?"

Daisy-Belle's Perspective (POV):I watch as Tony walks away, my heart heavy with the disgust he showed me. I can't understand why I'm feeling this way about Tony, but his look has made me feel cheap and worthless."Belle," Pamela returns to my side. She places her hand on my shoulder, waiting for me to lift my head. She must think I'm crying, but I'm not. I want to cry, but no tears come. I'm tired of crying, tired of the problems that keep surfacing. I'm fed up with everything, and I feel like ending it all. One single mistake of mine has brought nothing but shame."Belle?" She calls again."Did you see the way he looked at me?" I ask, raising my head to question her."It doesn't matter," she shakes her head."What?" I exclaim. "It doesn't matter? He's going to tell everyone, he won't like me anymore," I nearly yell.She thinks for a moment before asking me, "Do you like him?"I realize my previous statement was wrong.

"Zayden John Alvarez?" My mom articulates his name after I revealed he's the one I had sex with.She'd snatched the magazine from me, examining his picture as if deciding if he's suitable to be called my baby's father. I know my mom, and I know she's scrutinizing him closely."Alvarez?" Pamela questions as she moves closer to us."He's your baby's father?" She asks upon seeing his picture. Beneath the main image is another photo of him with a girl sitting on his lap, kissing him. I'm avoiding looking at that particular picture. It's clear he's considered a womanizer.I nod gently to Pamela, feeling rather sorry for myself. I'm sure he's already forgotten the night we had together. I wouldn't be surprised if he regarded me as one of those cheap girls he plays around with.I glance at the photo again to see the girl's name, Mila Rodriguez.
