ch. 43: "friendships broken"

Tatiana's P.O.V

School was the norm. I chose to keep my earphones in between passing periods so people wouldn't think I was trying to ignore them when they tried getting my attention. After eight hours of torturous classes and annoying teachers, I finally drove home and blasted Sam Smith on the radio since I wasn't feeling very well today. Ever since I woke up I had symptoms of wanting to throw up but I couldn't because nothing was in my stomach, and I had a day-long headache. I also felt some drowsiness but I managed to keep myself awake.

"Hey, how was school?" my step-father asked as I walked inside the house, he was sitting on a chair, typing busily on his laptop as usual.

"It was good!" I lied, smiling at him.

"Really? That's nice to hear.. How are you doing? he asked, sipping his coffee.

"I'm doing fine." I stated, heading upstairs.

I opened my room to reveal a neat bed, and everything was completely neat. My mom must have organized everything while I was away. My room never really stayed neat.

I started up my computer and looked through my Youtube comments, it was mainly of my fans asking where was my next video, when will I upload again, why am I not on as much as I was before when I first started. I decided to upload the one video I forgot to upload which was my

'BEST FRIEND Q&A WITH CALUM!'

This video was literally months ago but I never really got to upload it since I was super busy. Once it uploaded, I re-watched it and my heart warmed up as Calum's face brightens up each second as he answers the questions and whenever he asked them he would wiggle one of his eyebrows and smirk because he thought I would get it wrong.

At the end of the video, I won but Calum argued with me that he had won because it was a 'tie'. Which it wasn't, it was clear that I had won. The comments rapidly flooded the video and most of it was about me and Calum being siblings. My heart ached as I read each comment of people hating and questioning me about what's happening in our relationship. I didn't know how to respond.

A soft knock was at my door and it was Sabrina. Her eyes were red and teary but her emotion was happy.

"What happened?" I asked, surprised.

"Luke broke up with me." she sighed, still smiling.

"When did this happen? Like just recently?" I groaned, mentally slapping myself.

"It happened afterschool and I think I know why he broke up with me.." she mumbled, looking down at her hands.

"Then what is that reason?" I asked, sitting down next to her.

"You." she growled, then stood up.

"Me?" I was beyond confused, "Out of all the people in the world, why would Luke break up with you because of me?"

"Oh don't act so innocent here Tatiana. You really don't know? Luke had been in love with you every single day ever since you two broke up. He usually would come sit with me talking about how lonely he is and how he wanted to win you back. I told him maybe if me and him tried to date, he could forget about you! We tried dating for a couple of weeks, I tried to treat him like a nice girlfriend would. I spoiled him. I bought him clothes, games, and I never ever cheated on him. Every time he saw you walk pass him during school, he would tighten his grip on me and instantly make out with me against the wall, or anywhere to make you jealous. Do you know how that makes me feel?" she paced back and forth in the room then stopped and crossed her arms at me.

"No.." I mumbled, keeping my mouth shut.

"Humiliated. I felt humiliated because after all this time, I didn't realize he was using me to get to you! After he told me we needed to break up, I didn't know what to feel. Either happy because I could finally get the pressure off my chest or light-weight anger, because I knew he wanted you not me but you, Tatiana." she gritted her teeth and came closer then put both of her hands on my shoulders, making me jump.

"Maybe Luke just wanted a break, he came over my house one day and told me about this. I told him not to break up with you because I knew it would break your heart and I didn't want him to break your heart since it happened to me and I know how it feels!" I pushed her hands off me and stood up myself.

"Bullshit! I know that you know yourself that deep inside of your heart, you actually still have feelings for Luke." she pointed at my chest, "Admit it."

A moment of silence happened.

"ADMIT IT TATIANA!" she screamed into my face, but I hardly moved an inch.

"Impossible, those feelings are long gone." I croaked, hot tears fell down my face.

"Oh so that explains why you're crying?" tears were falling down her face also.

"I love Luke & I will always love him, but I'm not in-love with him." I muttered, my heart was beating slowly at the thought of him.

"You never stopped lying to me." she shook her head and slammed the door behind her.

I knelt down on the ground and starting bawling. I had lost my best friend, just because of one guy. Maybe I did love Luke, maybe I didn't. But, for all I know, my heart only beated for one person who is currently forbidden because he's supposedly my own blood & he gave up on the both of us.

I hated myself, what kind of monster did I become?

I was that girl who had no worries, was on the honor list every semester, every grade, I had a dream boyfriend, I had a perfect life.

What happened to it?

My stomach suddenly had sharp pains and I clenched my teeth, screaming out loud.

"TATIANA!" my mom rushed in, helping me up. Michael came in after her, looking worried.

Michael's P.O.V

We drove all the way to the nearest hospital for Tatiana, she had major sharp pains in the stomach and the whole family didn't know why. I felt bad.

"Family of Tatiana Leigh?" the doctor appeared with a clipboard, looking up to see the 3 of us standing, "It may seem that she's carrying one."

"Carrying what?" her mum asked, looking confused.

"A baby."
