Irene

Ryle and I went to the nearest ice cream parlor, ate dinner, and invited Amanda to come with us. We waited for her to come by, after an hour, she arrived. I saw her in a over-sized sweatshirt, black skinny jeans, and white converse. Simple, but still pretty. She looked over at our table and waved at me. Ryle sighed and looked back, "I think I can't do this, Irene."

I snorted, "'I think I can't do this, Irene.', my ass!"

Amanda went to our table and stood in front of us, "Hello, Irene, how are you-." I groaned and looked at her. She stopped talking and sat beside Ryle. They smiled at each other. Ugh, just get married and have babies.

"So, uhm, I guess you've heard." Amanda started, "Ryle and I have a son." They both sighed and I rolled my eyes. I stared at Ryle, who's looking at his lap.

"I think, it's fine. Mom will be fine." I said as Ryle looked up and mumbled, "Yeah and dad will beat me to death!" Amanda looked at us. We exchanged looks and I shook my head, "Dad doesn't even give a thing anymore, Ryle. He left-"

"Irene."

"No, you're telling it to mom. Tomorrow with Amanda."

"Irene."

"Stop calling my name over and over again, you dimwit!" I said as I stood up and slammed my hand on the table. "You're 25, you're legal. You can do whatever you want. Mom will be fine! Just forget about dad! He left us, we're a big happy family now."

Amanda gasped and Ryle stared tearing up, "I'm such a fool."

"No, you're not, Ryle. You're just in love. People get crazy when they fall in love." I stated as I grabbed my coat and sighed. "Well, you should be thankful that Amanda didn't abandon your son."

"Whatever. Let's go. Let's tell it to your mum. Now." Amanda said as she stood up and Ryle got up too. We went to the car and I sat at the backseat.

Ryle turned on the radio and blasted Panic, at the disco's This is Gospel. I watched the two of them argue and I just ignored them. I grabbed my phone and texted my friend, Justine.

"Any updates abt zouis?" I texted her and waited for her reply. My phone vibrated and looked at her reply, "None. Wru? Let's hang tom ;)"

"Idk man. I'll text u later. U know. Mom. Ryle's here btw."

She didn't reply, she's always like that anyways. My phone vibrated, but it was just a notification from Wattpad. My fanfic just reached 10'million reads! I gasped and kicked Ryle's chair, "What the hell?!"

Amanda looked back at me and asked, "What happened?"

"My fanfic just reached 10 million reads! 10 millmotherfloppingion reads!" I screamed as Amanda clutched my hand and giggled, "Congrats!" Ryle shook his head smiling, "I told you, she's good at writing."

Amanda looked at him and looked back at me, "Wait, you're a writer?"

"Yes, I mean, no. I'm just a fangirl who writes fanfics and will never get noticed by favorite bands and artist." I mumbled and stared at my phone's screen. Everybody's has been texting me about it. Most of them are my internet friends, I don't really have friends here in town.

She raised an eyebrow and said, "You know, Irene," she looked at my phone and looked back at me, "My dad owns a publication, it's actually not that famous like Scholastics but I think it would be nice if we publish your fanfic into a legit book."

My jaw dropped and thoughts are attacking my mind:

THIS IS A GOOD IDEA, IRENE!!!

NO, IT'S NOT. I DON'T WANNA BE LIKE ANNA TODD!! I ALSO HAVE HATERS YOU KNOW!!

IT'S HELLA FINE!! ACCEPT IT!!

I sighed and said, "I'll think about it. My fanfic isn't that famous yet like After by Anna Todd. I'll wait 'til I reach 30 million reads." Amanda nodded and pursed her lips. She looked away as I clicked the Wattpad app and posted a message on my board.

"Hi guys!

So, Rainbow just hit 10 million reads! This is one of the greatest thing in the world. I don't know why people read my fanfic, it's really messy but yeah, I'll continue writing it! Thank you so much guys!

If the fanfic hits 30 million reads, I have a huge surprise!"

I sighed in relief and check my fan account, my notifications blasted like hundreds of people tweeted me about my fanfic. I couldn't take it anymore but too late, I cried in happiness. Tears started falling down on my cheeks, I wiped it off and laughed like a crazy person.

"Mom, we're here!" I screamed as I went inside our house and looked for mom. I heard some noises from the living room and went there with Amanda and Ryle. Mom was sleeping already but the television was open, "She's sleeping already. What are we going to do?" Ryle asked as I shook my head and crossed my arms on my chest.

"Amanda?" I called out and looked out for her, she's seating beside mom. I gave her a questioning look as she pursed her lips and tapped mom's shoulder. Mom woke up and looked at Amanda.

"Thief! Thief! Thief!" Mom screamed as Amanda stood up and held her hands up. I face palmed myself and went to mom, "Mom, we're here." Mom looked back at us and looked at Amanda again. She furrowed her eyebrows and said, "Who is she?"

I patted her back, "Your soon-to-be daughter's law, Grandma Lily."

"What do you mean-"

Amanda interrupted, "I'm so sorry for surprising you, ma'am, but I am not Ryle's fiancé-"

"So, you don't love me anymore?" Ryle interrupted, looked at Amanda, and pointed his finger at his chest. I rolled my eyes and said, "Mom, they have to tell you something that might be surprising but yeah shit happens, right?"

Mom nodded and sat on the couch as Amanda went in front of mom, "Do you remember Ryle attending a book club?" She asked mom and she nodded. She took a deep breath, "I was also there and we became friends, just friends."

"Ouch." I heard Ryle whispered as I snorted and stared at Amanda.

"So, it was our last day and Ryle and I went to a bar that night. So, uh-"

"Did you guys bonk each other?" Mom interrupted, looked at Ryle, who's red as tomato. Ryle nodded and I couldn't take it but to snort again. Amanda gave me a weird look and continue from her talking, "Yes, we did, ma'am. We were actually both virgin that time."

I gasped, "No way!"

Amanda nodded, "And yeah, he did wear a you know, protection and it was sort of misplaced, it was stuck in my vaggy." Mom's jaw dropped and her eyes widen, "So, I got pregnant. Ryle is the father. I didn't actually tell him because I was so scared." Amanda started crying, Ryle went to her and hugged her.

"You know what, darling, it's fine. I'm actually excited to be a grandmother. I'm so proud of you, for not abandoning the baby." Mom said as she started to cry, too.

"I'm so sorry for this, mom. I'm such a mess." Ryle said and let go of Amanda. Mom took Ryle on her arms and said, "You're not a mess! You have a great job. You're successful."

I smiled at them three and joined them. Amanda hugged me and laughed, "You're an auntie, Irene."

"Yeah, I know."
