Chapter 55
I stumble backwards, my face cringing at the pure hatred in her red rimmed eyes. Then it diminishes and her eyes down casted as she sniffles.
“Just go away.” She mumbles brushing pa*s me and walking over to the faucet.
My eyes softened and I sighed. I find myself following her, watching as she opened the pipe and began to wash her face. I don’t think it would magically move the redness in her eyes.
“Do you want to talk about it?” I ask softly. It was but just a murmur. I highly doubted she heard. But she did because her head snapped to face me, her eyes narrowing.
“Why are you still here?” She hisses. Why am I still here? Honestly I do not know. Maybe I pitied her.
I forced out a smile. “I’m not a bitch Stacy. I know I’m not your favorite person right now-“
She snorts cutting me off. I sighed.
“But I do not want us to hold on to that resentment anymore. We are both old enough to sort out our problems.
Things don’t have to be nasty between us. We can resolve this issue.” I finished softly.
She glares. “What, so you think because you’re now Blake’s girlfriend you’re now the top shit and everything you say goes?
Don’t act all innocent Ashley, you’re nothing but a snake.” She grits out.
I blanch at her accusation. My brows furrowed. Snake? What did I do to be called such an animal? “But I’m not-“
Her lips curl into a sneer. “Save it! Everyone knows you and Blake are together. It doesn’t take a genius to see those stealing glances and disgusting touches. Both of you disgust me. I knew you were after him all along.”
I shook my head. “I never meant to come between you two Stacy. I’m very sorry that things ended bad between you two. I’m-“
Once again I am cut off.
“Oh boo hoo. Stop with all those insincere apologies. It wouldn’t matter anyway.” She glares.
And it is then that I get a glimpse of white, almost hidden in the pocket of her sweater. It is so unlike her to wear something that doesn’t show off her skin.
She notices my line of vision and her eyes grow cold. She reaches inside the pocket, grasp the small white object and roughly pushes it to my chest. It falls on the tiled floor with a clank.
“Here. Tell Blake for me that he’s going to be a dad.” She spits and sidesteps me to get out of the bathroom. The door closes with a bang on her way out.
I’m standing there, frozen and it felt like I was not getting enough oxygen in my lungs. Dad. Blake’s going to be a dad. My mouth parted but nothing came out as I stare at the pregnancy test on the floor.
I could clearly see the red plus sign. My throat completely dries. She’s pregnant. My heart starts thumping in my chest. My throat tighten as tears welled up in my eyes.
