Bestfriends Shouldn’t Know How You Taste novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66 

“Ashley hurry up you’re going to be late for school!”  Mom shouted from down stairs. I sighed looking at my  reflection one last time in the mirror before going  downstairs. 

Arden was already seated on one of the stools beside the  island. A plate full of pancakes and bacon. Dad was  seated beside him. Both quiet as they ate. 

Mom was also really silent as she flipped the pancakes  on the pan before her. And when I went to join them it  got even more awkward. 

You could tell the awkward tension was still in the air.  After mom had bailed out dad, he refused to admit that  he went too far in breaking Peter’s leg. It led to a huge  argument at the police station with I having to witness it. 

I remember feeling that all this was my fault. If I had just  filed the report against Peter then things would not have  gotten so extreme. I remember wanting to crawl into a  hole and die as the officer asked me questions pertaining  to the a*sault.

My cheeks were stained crimson as I tried to keep my  breathing under control. They had led me to a private  room. Asked me plenty of questions until all I could see  was Peter pinning me to the desk. 

Through my cloudy mind I heard the question. “Do you  want to file a report against him?” 

Without even thinking my lips part to say yes. I didn’t  care then, to lost in feeling disgusted at the thought of  Peter ever touching me again or another girl. That was  the first step to feeling relieved. 

When I had left that room, it had felt like the weight on  my shoulders had been lifted, disappeared. I felt strong.  And when I walked into Blake’s arms and buried my face  

in his shirt as he wrapped his protective arms around me,  I knew I had done the right thing. 

“I’m pregnant.” 

Mom’s tensed body faced the pan, her head down as she  looked at the pancakes. Her voice brings me back to  reality. 

I’m not the only one shocked by the revelation. The  bacon dad pinched between his fingers dropped on the 

breakable circular plate. The soft clank disturbs the  silence. 

She hadn’t turned to stare at us. Dad on the other hand  eyes glistened with unshed tears. “Lily, baby, are you  serious?” He gulped looking at his wife in adoration. 

She sighs and turns to face us, gives a soft smile and  nods. “I found out last night after you know…” She  drawls out. 

Her eyes widen before she rushes out. “I know we didn’t  plan it-“ 

Before she could finish dad had already ran to her side  and hoisted her up. “F*ck yeah my sperm still works!” He  cheers looking up at her as she giggles happily. 

“I love you.” He sighs dreamily, eyes twinkling with  happiness. 

“I love you too baby.” Mom whispers as he gently places  her down but still holds her in his embrace. 

“God I love you.” Dad mumbles atop of her head. 

My heart warms. I’m going to be a big sister again. A  warm smile split on my lips as I too ran into the hug. We 

feel another body join us as we celebrate the news of a  new addition to our family. And just like that the  awkward tension lifted and was replaced by happiness. 

“I’m going to be his favorite sibling.” Arden boasted. 

I narrow my eyes. “It’s going to be a girl and I will be her  favorite!” I argued sticking out my tongue. 

“And besides no one wants your stinky butt near them.” I  joked and later regretted it when he pinched my side. 

“I’ll meet you in the cafeteria.” I told Ryan as I proceeded  to my locker. 

“Okay. I’ll save you a seat.” He jokes. 

It was not like anyone else would seat at our table other  than Ryan, Blake and I and occasionally Rosalie, Liam and  Arden. I rolled my eyes and began to open my locker. 

When I had gotten here in the morning I was anxious  and afraid of getting another note. But when I opened  the locker and searched through it’s contents there was  no such.

No note, no creepy and private photos of Blake and I. I  was relieved. I also believe that it was probably Peter  who was the creep after all. 

“Shit.” I curse remembering that I had left one of my  books in the english cla*s. 

I closed my locker and whirled around to amble towards  the cla*s. The hallway was almost cleared as the students  went to have lunch.
