Chapter 4: I'm what...?

We're at Amy's house right now. Her home is a big two story house.

"So, what do you want to do?" Amy said drinking her tea.

"I want to reopen the case." I said with seriousness evident in my voice.

"Not possible." Amy said calmly.

"Why, not." Paul asked.

"Because Andrew admitted to killing Josh and he's been sentenced to jail for ten years we can't do anything about it." Amy said taking a sip of her tea.

"We can do it, we only need to find some new proof." I said frustrated.

"I don't want to reopen the case, If you're still interested then find some evidence." Amy said looking at me.

"Fine." I said disappointed.

Paul and I went home after a while and I'm feeling kind of irritated by how calm Amy is about this whole situation.

"Paul, do you have any idea." I asked sitting on my living room couch, he was reading something on his phone and suddenly his eyes become wide.

"What happened?" I asked him.

"Um... your medical reports came." He said hesitantly.

"So what happened."

"Well... How should I say this?" He's scaring me, am I going to die or what.

"Tell me."

"You're pregnant." He said looking at me.

I was silent for a few seconds then I realized what he said.

"WHAT, AM WHAT." I said jumping out of my couch.

"You're pregnant." He repeated with a smile.

"Oh my God, I can't believe this." I can already imagine the shocked face of Andrew.

"Congrats to the future uncle Paul." I said jumping on him for a hug.

"I'm happy that you're happy." He said hugging me back.

Well, it's time to visit someone.

Now am sitting in a chair and waiting for Andrew to come in, I can't wait and I can't stop myself from smiling.

Andrew came in as handsome as always, without realizing it, I was smiling at him from ear to ear, I knew the last time I was here that this was not the end for us.

He looked at me with raised eyebrows before picking up his phone and I followed.

"I didn't expect that you would visit me again." He said in a gentle voice.

"I have to tell you something." I said in a happy tone.

"What."

"Why don't you take a guess." I said teasingly.

"Are you teasing me right now?" He said with a small laugh.

"I don't think we're going to end things that easily."

"What is it, stop playing around." He said.

"I'm..." Should I tell him right away or wait a few more minutes.

"Tell me now." He said sternly.

"I'm pregnant." I said with a smile.

His face went from surprised to shocked look in a few seconds.

"What." He said dumbfounded.

"I said I'm pregnant."

"WHAT!! are you serious right now." he said getting up from his chair.

"I'm dead serious." I said in an excited voice.

"I can't believe it."

"Are you happy?" I said looking at him.

"Of course I'm happy, It's just that I can't be by your side." He said looking at me with a hint of sadness.

"Andrew..."

"Yea."

"I missed you." I said looking in his eyes.

"You don't blame me anymore." He asked me.

"It was an accident, it can happen to anyone," I said looking with a sad smile.

"And I think we don't know the whole story."

"Are you suspecting Megan?" He asked me.

"I kind of do," I said honestly.

"She can never take the life of someone." Andrew said with confidence.

"I will find out the truth." I said getting up.

"Whatever you do, just be careful."

"Don't worry, I will never put myself at risk."

"Bye," I said ready to leave.

"I missed you too." He finally said what I
Wanted to hear all this time.

I nodded and left with a heavy heart.
I will find out the truth so you can come back sooner, this is a promise I made to myself and to him in my heart.

I was getting out of the convenience store when I saw Megan walking quickly and a suspicious man in a hoodie following her.

I decided to follow them till we reached a dead-end area. I can't go any further than this or they would notice me.

Megan was looking down, and they are talking about something, he looks so sketchy, what is she even doing with someone like him.

Should I call the police?, luckily I bought pepper spray.

Now that guy was dangerously coming close to her and she stopped him by placing her hand between them.

He had an evil smirk on his face and Megan was almost at the edge of tears.

While I watched, In a second he grabbed her by her coat's collar harshly, I felt a shiver run down my spine.

Now I can see Megan's tears as she was struggling from his grip.

"HEY, STOP RIGHT THERE." I found myself saying without thinking much.

"Oh my dear God please save me," I said to myself as I started walking towards them, his eyes are so bizarre that it scares me and he looks ready to fight.

"If you don't want a black eye, step back. He said in a dangerously low voice.

"What are you doing here," Megan said rather calmly.

"I'm here to help you," I said in a low voice.

"Last warning lady, fuck off." He said in a harsh tone.

"I will not, what will you do," I said hiding my fear.

"Sophie, don't push it. Megan whispered to me.

"Ok, your wish then." He said coming closer to me, while I and Megan were stepping back.

"If you come one step closer, you'll regret it," I said daringly thinking what to do, he was only a couple of steps away from us.

"Oh, what you'll...SHIT." He screamed when I used my pepper spray on him and took Megan's hand, and ran as fast as possible.

"BITCH, DAMN IT BURNS." I heard him say, and we keep on running till we reached a safe place with people around.

"Oh, God that was crazy," I said catching my breath.

"Are you insane?" She said out of breath.

"What are you even doing with someone like him." I asked her.

"It's none of your business." She said coldly.

"Why do you hate me so much." I asked her feeling a little bit hurt.

"I never hated anyone as much as I hate you." She said looking dead serious at me.
