There was a knock on the door and I sighed heavily as I hauled myself off the sofa and trudged to the door.

Luckily I'm not showing yet so I can get away with keeping this a secret until I figure out what I want to do.

But I don't have long. I'm almost at the end of my first trimester.

I opened the door and stood with wide eyes as Avalon stood on the other side of the door.

"Hey, good to see you too. Wanna let me in?" She asked with a laugh and I stood there in shock. I blinked rapidly before staring at her in confusion.

"You didn't tell me you was coming." I said slowly and she raised her eyebrow. "Since when do I tell you when I'm coming to visit?" She scoffed and even though she wasn't wrong I still wasn't convinced.

"Riley, what's up? Let me in." She urged and I groaned as the morning sickness returned. I leaned forward slightly before racing to the bathroom and locking the door behind me. I collapsed in front of the toilet and vomited.

Today was worse than normal. I don't even remember eating but I was in the bathroom for over an hour. Avalon knocked a few times to check on me but shortly gave up after a while.

I sighed as I finally felt the sickness subside and cleaned myself off. I left the bathroom and walked straight past her in the kitchen and back to where I was on the sofa.

We sat in awkward silence for a while before she broke it. "Are we gonna talk about what just happened or...?" She questioned and I grunted in response.

"I was sick. I've been sick for a while, which is why it's probably not a good idea that you're here," I said in a croaky voice. "Yeah, what is up with you?" She asked as she stuffed a forkful of some store-bought salad in her mouth and I refrained from showcasing my annoyance.

I just want to be alone.

For the first time in literally ever, I want to be alone.

"Gio got a girl pregnant."

I flinched slightly at the clatter of the fork against my marble countertop and she appeared in my line of sight seconds later.

"Gio did WHAT?!"

"Don't shout Avalon," I tensed as I gripped the side of my head.

"How are you not shouting?! How are you not losing your mind right now?!"

I don't even know.

"No, Ri! What the hell, he cheated??? On you???"

I gave up and stood up from the couch.

"Where are you going?!"

"Tomorrow. We are gonna talk about this tomorrow." I grunted as I slowly shuffled towards my room.

"Riley Anastasia Maddox, you get back here right now! We are not talking about this tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow Ava!" I yelled as I loudly shut my bedroom door behind me and locked it.
