Chapter 4

Michelle's P.O.V

"Why is it so difficult to open my eyes?"

I ask myself gently rubbing my fingers on my eyes trying to open them slowly but they just felt puffy. I get up from the bed and slowly walk towards my vanity so that I can look at my eyes. Feeling my way around the room I decide to just go to my bathroom that way I can wash my face.

I slowly open my eyes and they are so pink and swollen. I put my hands over my eyes and they feel so warm and I'm sure that eyes are not supposed to feel this warm at all. I don't know whether to wash my face with warm water or cold water, so I just rinse my wash cloth with luke-warm water slowly patting my eyes. It helps as I can now open my eyes more and looking at my reflection in the mirror I look like a disaster with my hair looking like a bird's nest.

I just sigh to myself, well i will fix myself later but right now I need food in my stomach. Dragging my feet to the kitchen, I rummage through my fridge and finally decide on what I want for breakfast.

After making my food I go back to my bedroom, hop in my bed covering myself with the same blanket from last night and start watching some cartoons on the TV while eating my breakfast.

It felts like hours until I remembered that I promised my parents that I was going to come over to their house.

"What time is it anyway?... And where is my phone?" I say out loud looking for my phone all over the bed.

Realizing that I haven't taken it out of my bag since yesterday after I came back from the doctor, I take my handbag and dump everything that was inside on top of my bed. Everything fell out including some of the pamphlets the doctor gave me, I held one in my hand and the conversation between me and Adrian replayed in my head.

Was I going to raise this baby alone? Do I go talk to Adrian again and should it be now or after some days? I am going home today, do I tell my parents about the baby? And what do I tell them about the father of the baby? Should I tell them that it's Adrian and that he doesn't want the baby? What if they call his parents telling them about the baby, and what if his parents force him to be with me and the baby?

"Ughh!" I slump on the bed facing up and close my eyes, taking in deep breaths to calm myself down for the sake of the baby because it felt like I was having a panic attack. And I am sure that it was not good for the baby.

Getting off the bed I decided that when I get home I am not going to tell my parents about the baby not until after I talked to Adrian. I start doing my bed and clean my bedroom, walk to the closet I pick out my outfit and leave it on the bed. I go to the bathroom and start with my hygiene process, shower, put some lotion my body and wear my clothes. Since I am going to be sleeping over at home for two days, I just pack my skin care products, makeup, some underwear, a few clothes but I leave all my shoes. I take my suitcase to the living room and go back to my room to put some things in my handbag, before leaving I eat some of my ice cream mixed with avocado.

Eating it in the kitchen sitting on one of the barstools, I start thinking about why I have been craving such weird foods and it's all because I am pregnant. I AM PREGNANT AND ALONE! I start crying very bad, tear and snort start coming out while thinking about the fact that I am pregnant and alone, he doesn't want this baby, oh what am I going to do now.

I walk to the bathroom to blow my nose and wipe away my tears, hopefully before I get home my eyes will look okay and not like I have been crying because I don't want my parents asking questions.

*HICCUP*

"Agg why n..."

*HICCUP*

*HICCUP*

Great now I have hiccups, I go grab a water bottle to take with me in the car ride home and drink another one right away. Feeling a little better with the hiccups gone, I finally make it out of my apartment to my car.

I get to the parking lot at the ground floor of the apartment building and the first thing I notice is that Adrian's car was not here. He and I always park our cars next to each other so that every day when we go to campus we decide whose car to take.

Now it's not here, it was just after 12 in the afternoon and I wondered where he was. He didn't even come to me in the morning to talk or maybe he didn't even sleep at his apartment. It was a good thing that I didn't go to try talking to him this morning because it was going to be useless.

I sigh and open the back of my car and load my bags in, I get in the driver's seat and just lay my forehead on the steering wheel taking in deep breaths trying to stop myself from crying. After a few minutes I feel okay, I start the car and drive out of the parking lot deciding to go to McDonald's to grab a snack for the way home. It also helped that my parents' house was less than an hour away.

Adrian's P.O.V

"Uggh, why do I have a headache?" I say as I hold my head in my hands trying to stop the throbbing that was going on inside.

I slowly sit up and after the throbbing has died down I take a look at where I was and realize that I slept on my couch. There were empty of beer along the floor and a half drank bottle of whisky on the table.

I stay there looking at my mess trying to remember what made me drink so much last night. And that's when it came back to me, the fight with Michelle about the pregnancy. The memory starts playing in my head of the words that we said but I just close my eyes and try to think of something else. I didn't want to be busy thinking about that all day long.

Slowly standing up, I walk towards my bathroom to find some pills for my headache, after I have taken them I pour myself ice cold water and drink it hoping it will help with my hangover.

I make some cereal with cold milk and black coffee, and go sit on my couch to watch some basketball. After I have finished my food I start cleaning my space because I hate a messy place. I may be a guy and there are some typical guys whose places will be messy and clothes will be thrown everywhere but not me my mom always made sure that I lived in a clean environment.

Once I was done cleaning, I head to my closet to pick out an outfit for today, I want to go to my friend's place for the day and just distract my mind for a few hours. Finishing with showering and putting my clothes on I text my friend, Gareth, checking if he was at his place. He replied saying that he was there and bored, so he asked that I bring some beer and he will order pizza.

Great that is what I was hoping for, I go to the kitchen to see if I had any beer left and I was all out, that's okay I will go buy some on the way to his place. Taking my wallet, phone, and car keys I leave my apartment and head towards my car in the parking lot.

When I get there I see that Michelle's car is there next to mine, I stop before getting in my car and think about going to check on her but I just shake my head, get in the car and drive towards the liquor store. It was 10 in the morning so I knew that it was open.

I get to Gareth's place after stopping buying the beer, before knocking on the door I hear music blasting and the door was even vibrating. I already knew that he was probably in there busy f**cking some random chick, so knocking would be useless. I take out my phone from the my pocket and call him it rings a few times until he answers.

"Yoh what do you want I am busy right now?!" he says with a pissed voice.

"Busy with what?"

"I have a girl on top of me right now and she is a freak in bed... oh yeah baby girl just like that... what do you want Adrian?"

"I'm outside your door man, I already told you that I'm on my way here,"

"It's unlocked just come in and chill, I will see you in a few minutes,"

"Oka..."

Before I could finish talking I heard the girl screaming his name and I got more disgusted, I hang up the call and let myself in. The music was loud that I started to feel myself get dizzy, I put the beer in the kitchen and saw that he already bought the pizza.

I went to turn down the volume of the speakers and that was a big mistake as I started hearing them moaning and screaming each others names with the bed squeaking.

That is so disgusting I turned the volume back up and made sure that it was on full blast, then I took out my ear buds and started listening to my own music because the speakers were not enough for me to drown out those horrible noises.

He always tells me about banging some chick and he never goes into details because we never do, but to actually hear him getting some action is DISGUSTING!!!

After what felt like hours but actually took a few minutes or so, I saw him coming towards the living room and he went to turn down the music.

"Sup man?" he says to me.

"I'm guessing that you are done?" I ask him.

"Yeah I would have continued but then I remembered that you were here alone so I told her to come back another time,"

"Oh wow how generous of you to think about me," I say with a sarcastic voice.

"So where is the beer that I was promised?"

"It's in the kitchen next to the pizza,"

"Awesome," he goes to the kitchen and comes back with two bottles.

He slumps down on the couch and changes the channel to a soccer match, I was about to ask about the girl in his room but then I heard the clicking of heels coming towards us. She appeared wearing a very short dress, high heels and a small bag, it looked like she is dressed to go to a club which I am guessing is where they met and Gareth brought her to his place.

She walks right in the living room fixing her dress and hair, and goes straight towards Gareth.

"Thanks Gee, I will see you some other time," she says while giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Yeah sure bye Gene," he says without even looking at her.

She rolls her eyes and finally notices me in the room, she waves at me while biting her lip in a seductive manner but it was just disgusting me. Not wanting to be rude I just nod my head at her, she walks towards the door swaying her hips and finally leaves.

"Well she seems nice," I say to Gareth who still hasn't taken his eyes off the TV.

"Yeah... She's a good f**k I will call her next time I am in the mood to get some,"

"And she is just okay with it?"

"She and I have an agreement that this is only just for pleasure, there are no strings attached and she also doesn't go around telling people that we are f**cking,"

"Why?"

"Because bro I don't want her telling the wrong people then next thing I know when I want to get laid by one of my girls I can't because they heard about me and Gene," he says then stands up and goes to the kitchen.

"So you don't want all the girls that you are f**cking knowing about each other?" I say louder so that he can hear me.

I hear him busy in the kitchen with the microwave then with the utensils later he comes out with the box of pizza and all the beer that was in the kitchen.

"No I don't because that will lead to drama and fights between them and me in the middle of it, then the next thing I know I'm not getting some ass," he takes out a slice of pizza and stuffs his mouth.

"Wow you are living the dream of every guy," I say to him.

"Anyway why are you here I thought that Saturday morning were special for you and your lady," he asks me.

"Hummph,"

"Oh I know that sound it means that there is trouble in paradise... What happened?"

"We had an argument last night about the... about something," I almost told him about the pregnancy.

"What is that something?"

"It's... it's just something that is affecting both of our lives and she doesn't want to see it from my perspective,"

"Mmm, well i can see that it's bothering you because you guys rarely argue,"

"Yeah it is but that is not why I came here. I'm here to forget about my problem,"

"Okay then, grab a slice of pizza while I set up the game for us,"

I took a slice of pizza from the box and started munching on it waiting for Gareth to finish with the set up. I just want to spend the day chilling with my friends but it's still early so I guess Gareth will do for now until the afternoon when the other guys will come by.

"There done now let's start so I can beat your a**, hahaha that will get your mind off your problems," he throws me one of the game controllers and we start playing.

Michelle's P.O.V

I just got my order from McDonald's it was just large fries and a burger... Okay I got two large fries I was craving them so much, I also wanted to get ice coffee but then I thought that coffee is bad for pregnant women, I think, I don't know I heard it from the movies and I didn't want to take a chance.

Right now I am currently on my home, I'm driving while eating my fries I finished the burger in 8 minutes and now I'm on my second pack of fries.

I'm just 15 minutes away from home, I stop by the traffic light and look out my window to see a couple taking a walk and the girl was pushing a baby stroller. They looked so happy and in love, they are such a beautiful family. And it was making me remember that it was something I was never going to have with Adrian.

Tears threatened to come out but I was not going to let them, even though it was hard. I heard cars hooting behind me and that's when I noticed that the light was green. I drove while sniffing and continued eating my fries but then after some time something horrible happened.

MY FRIES ARE ALL GONE!!!

I finished them all and no matter how many times I put my fingers inside the box there was nothing. I don't know if my hormones have started or not but that was the last thing I needed for me to actually start crying.

I was trying hard to not go into full blown crying but tears were just streaming down my cheeks and blinding my vision. I was wiping them away but it was useless they just kept rolling down.

"Agg stupid hormones,"

Everything happened so fast because all I heard was tyres screeching and then something hit my car from the side and the back, I hit my head on something hard and then it was darkness.
