2 months went by as a blur. It was a blast having Rhy around me and all of us were finally hanging out as a group again. Today was a holiday, marking the start of a long weekend. All my friends had gone out and I was on my own today in my house with Juliette. I was happily blasting music as I went to my kitchen in hunt for food, my stomach growling in desperation. I was stumbling across the washroom nearby when I heard soft sobs coming from it.
I opened the door, it wasn't locked and I saw Juliette. She was curled up in a corner and was crying and beside her lay a pregnancy test. My eyes widened, I scrambled to it and I saw 2 red lines. My shock died down within 2 minutes when I realised that Juliette was still crying.
I sat next to her and hugged her. She realised my existence and snapped her head up to me and in shock she asked, "P-poppy? D-did yo-u see-e the t-test?" I could see her shivering in fear of what I might do. I hugged her and told her "It's gonna be okay Juliette. Don't be scared please, you've always got me I won't tell anyone. Please stop crying." She started shaking and squeaked out, "M-mom and D-dad th-hey're gonna be so-o disappointe-ed in m-me."
I reassured her by saying, "They're our parents Julie, they won't be disappointed, they'd only be shocked, don't worry you've always got me." She looked at me with so much gratitude in her eyes and asked me, "They've always compared you with me, don't you hate me Poppy?" I sighed at her, "At the end of the day Julie, you're always my sister, I'd never trade that for anything." She looked at me with a smile and said, "Thanks Pops".
It's been long since I've called her Julie and since she called me Pops. I got an idea. I asked Julie if she wanted to go to our backyard and have a picnic and watch a movie out. She instantly agreed and we decided to do a proper girl's day, complete with makeovers, movies, snacks, loads of snacks and catching up.
She knew she wanted to keep the baby and she knew the father and was going to tell him after telling our parents. I smiled at the thought of becoming an aunt. Julie had only 3 more months till she finished her college, so I suppose she could raise a kid without having to give up on her education. She could take a break for 2 years and find a job.
We both were cuddled up on our couch when our parents came back at 1am. Julie decided she couldn't hide it from them longer, she decided to tell them right then. I waited outside the room till they were done and I peeked in and saw my parents in tears but they were happy ones. They were shocked and a little disappointed in her but were happy for her. She ran towards me and crushed me in a hug and whispered, "I know, I haven't been the best sister. I promise I'll make it up to you Pops." I just smiled and hugged her back.
Julie turned towards my parents and told them, "She's a much better human than I ever can be, don't disregard her, she's the best you could ask for." My parents looked at me sheepishly and apologised for all the comparing these past few years. I forgave them and we watched home movies for the rest of the night with ice cream. I miss our family. I missed having these moments with them, I really did.
I told Rhy about it later once he was back and god was he excited. Julie and Rhy had a good friendship but it fell apart around 3 years ago. He still does care about her and he jumped and spun me around the second I told him.
After so long, I wasn't depressed anymore. I wasn't crying or closing myself off from everyone. It felt exhilarating and refreshing to even think that I'm finally okay. I finally have everyone. I know for a fact I wouldn't trade what I have right now for anything in this world. I felt okay, hell I felt amazing and that made me cry happy tears randomly. I've never cried happy tears in my entire life, be it a good book or a good scene. It's always been sad tears, happy tears were new.
Rhy turned towards me and saw me crying, he instantly pulled me into a hug and asked if I was fine in the softest way possible. I nodded against him and told him, "They're not sad tears Rhy. They're happy tears. I've got all of you and I feel so happy and okay." He turned back and grinned at me, it was a proud smile. A smile that screamed, "I'm so proud of you for coming till here." and he kissed me on my forehead.
A couple of girls walked past us and were whispering over how cute of a couple we are. Rhy and I both heard it and I blushed a deep crimson. He simply smiled. his black hair sat droopy on his head and his grey eyes lost in thought. He looked cute I've gotta say.
Wait, cute. No. It's Rhy. He's never cute. I must have been way too overwhelmed with emotions to find Rhy cute. Now that I think about it I've never really noticed it before, he's glowed up alot. He's much taller, before he was about 2 inches taller than me, now he's towering at 6'3 over my 5'6 frame. His jaw's become sharper and I'm pretty sure he's even worked out a good load. It dawned on me that my best friend is freaking hot.
That's when I decided that my mind's probably way too high on serotonin and I'm probably losing my mind. If Rhysand is hot then the sky is falling and we're all gonna die.
The sky is falling and we're all gonna die.
I haven't been able to get Rhy looking all cute and hot at the sametime and it's driving me crazy. I think I've officially been possessed. I needed something, anything to get my mind off him. Distraction came in the form of my sister who wanted to go to a diner to get fries. She had a doc appointment earlier today, apparently she's 4 weeks pregnant and the baby's doing fine so far.
The entire house has been in a frenzy over the recent news and Julie even talked to the baby's dad. He wanted to be a part of the baby and they've decided a simple co-parenting schedule. I've gotta hand it to her for being organised even during an unplanned pregnancy.
Realising that if I delayed her majesty and longer I would be dead before I could say sorry. Dragging my lazyass from my bed I took my devil incarnate hungry sister to the diner. Did I get Rhy out of my mind? Temporarily yes. Did he come back looking all cute yet hot later when I was trying to sleep? Yes.
