GABRIELLA'S POV:

Awkwardness penetrated the room as both of us stared at each other without knowing what to do or say. She looked around as though searching for something.

I guessed she realized it was under her bed. She brought out an almost empty pack of cigarettes, plus a little lighter and then that was when my eyes widened a bit. She smokes?

"Have one." She stretched her hand out to give me a cigarette after lighting it up.

"No, uhh thanks but I don't-"

"You don't DO smoking or you've never smoked and you don't know how to? Which one?" She rolled her eyes and took the stick to her lips. Her mouth sucked in the deadly air and then released the nicotine out.

"I guess, the latter?" I admitted. "And I'm too young to smoke."

Says the girl that always gets drunk during parties back the days of R.A.A.

My subconscious said and I mentally rolled my eyes.

Laura mockingly scoffed out loud. "So?....I drank my first beer at the age of eleven." For a minute I thought the young adult was bragging about it due to the way she rolled it off her tongue as though proud of such achievement she accomplished at such a tender age.

I was given another chance to risk my lungs but I refused, even though a little part of me wanted to try.

The decision to head back to my bed to sleep was finalized considering the awkwardness was getting thicker as I stood. But reaching my bed, I was given a sight that I couldn't believe was real.

Laura slowly stood up from her bed while removing the blanket that covered her and lo and behold, a flabbergasting and huge baby bump appeared on her! WHAT THE FUCK?!

I had to rub my eyes to see if at all I was going crazy by imagining things that weren't real. But it was still there!

"HOLY FUCK YOU'RE PREGNANT!!!"

"Shushhh.... someone might hear you." She chuckled as she went to the mini fridge at the far end. "Weeell, actually, they can't because this room is soundproof."

"Sound..proof?" I stared at her with confusion and shock. "How is the room soundproof?" My body slowly stood up from the bed.

"I have my ways darling." She gently bent and opened the black colored and sophisticated looking fridge. I was surprised when I saw about big four bottles of.....ALCOHOL?!....or is it plain wine in there? She took a hold of one and brought it out.

"Is that al-"

"Of course it is alcoholic." She stood up and rolled her eyes at me.

"What the fuck? How are you pregnant? I-I mean I know how getting pregnant works but YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN! Y-You were just smoking few seconds ago and you still have the cigarette in you hand! How-How?"
