Liar Liar (a zodiac story)

Chapter Thirty Two

"Libra?" Cancer whispered in shock as she looked at her friend with her other friends baby cradled in her arms, "What are you doing here?" She managed to get out, surprised that she wasn't too shocked to speak.

She didn't know that there were other people helping Scorpio out with his young child. Cancer thought that she was the only one. However, she wasn't upset. She thought that it was sweet that Libra was also willing to help out. She must have felt bad for him after the article leaked his secret. That was quite nice of her.

However, the words that came out of Libra's mouth were the last thing she ever expected to hear.

"I'm here to see my child." Libra answered quite bluntly, as if the whole world had known that she and Scorpio had a child together. Yet this was Cancer's first time hearing this.

"I thought that her mother left Scorpio to take care of the baby." Cancer said in only a faint voice, still trying to process everything that was currently going on. 

Libra frowned slightly and sighed before shaking her head, rocking the sleeping baby in her arms while holding her close to her chest, "And that's what you assumed?" She raised an eyebrow.

Cancer looked at her sheepishly and nodded her head slowly, "Well, Scorpio never mentioned her mother and I just assumed that something happened between them and he didn't want to talk about it. I never knew it was yours..."

She felt as if a knife had stabbed into her heart. Two of her closest friends had lied to her, kept a secret as big as this from her. 

Scorpio and Libra hadn't been together this whole time, right? No, they couldn't have been.. Libra was with Aries for that short period of time and she thought that she had something going on  with Scorpio. But this took her by surprise.

"She is," Libra whispered softly and smiled a little as she looked down at the baby for a quick second before turning her attention back to Cancer, "Anyways, what brings you here?"

"I came to see Scorpio, hang out with him." Cancer answered her and shrugged her shoulders, still feeling her heart beating and pounding in her chest. 

"I'll go get him." Libra smiled at her before turning away, leaving the door open. 

Cancer stayed outside on the doorstep when she heard Libra call out to Scorpio, followed by a heavy sigh.

Cancer was looking down at her hands, twiddling her fingers together nervously as she tried to think about what she would say to Scorpio when he would come out here. She didn't have the confidence to just confront him for lying to her, and she was too shy to show him how upset and angry she was for the fact that he never told her the truth about any of this.

She thought that she could trust Scorpio. She thought that she could trust Libra as well. But the fact that they were hiding a secret such as this one made her rethink everything she ever knew.

Cancer stared at the door, waiting for Scorpio to come out to talk to her. However, almost as if a switch went off in her head, she immediately changed her mind. She couldn't do this. She couldn't talk to him right now. It was all too much.

Taking a deep breath, Cancer quickly turned around and practically ran off the doorstep, trying to get away before Scorpio could even catch a glance at her.

Pisces tapped his pencil on his notebook as he thought to himself, biting at his lower lip slightly. He was over at Capricorns house, studying for an upcoming test with her.

While Capricorn was completely consumed in her text book, Pisces was the complete opposite. He was pretty much lost in his own little world, getting distracted by doodling little scribbles in his notepad.
