Loving Tyler Dasen (Sequel to LWTP)

Chapter 8- Morning Sickness

Chapter 8

~Maya~

"So are you sure nothing happened with you two?" I ask Alaska for the tenth time.

"I'm sure we just went to his house and made pizza. Nothing else." Alaska says blankly. Alaska avoids looking at me as she flicks through one of her textbooks.

I can tell when Alaska is hiding something from me, she struggles to keep most things to herself.

"Okay I give up." I say sitting up from Alaska's bed and grabbing my books for my next class. "I'm going to be late for Psychology, it's almost eight-thirty."

Alaska looks at me, her under-eye circles dark from lack of sleep. "Okay, have fun." Alaska smiles at me, before I shove my books into my bag and sling my backpack onto one shoulder.

I exit our dorm and close the door behind me, leaving Alaska all by herself.

I do feel bad for her, I can tell she has been struggling ever since she saw Tyler, but seeing him with another girl hurt her even more.

"Hey." I hear a voice behind me and a hand brush against my shoulder. I turn around and see Cameron. Cameron has his soccer gear on and a beanie covering his hair. For a second I felt like jumping on him and doing the things I used to do to him, but the hallway is filled with students.

"Hey, Cameron." I say greeting him.

"So, I was wondering... Would you want to come and watch me play this Thursday night? It's a pretty big game." Cameron asks.

"Sure, I would love too." I say, "Being shut in a dorm room with Alaska is all that I do these days."

"Well on that case you can bring Alaska as well. I'm sure Tyler would love to see her." Cameron says smirking at me.

"Tyler? I thought he was in love with his new girlfriend, Maria?" I ask.

"Her name is Mia, and well he claims he is..." Cameron says, sounding like he was going to say something else but he stops talking.

"Cameron, is there anything else I should know? About Tyler and Alaska of course. She is just being really quiet about Tyler." I say quietly, too many people are walking past and they all seem to be listening.

"Tyler hasn't said anything to me, all that he does is talk about soccer, and Mia of course." Cameron answers. "Anyway I have to go, I'm late for training. Bye, Maya." Cameron says before rushing off out onto the door towards the soccer field.

I walk the rest of the way to my class and I sit down quickly before anyone asks me why I'm late for my lecture.

I grab out my notebook and begin drawing simple swirls on the paper.

The professor walks in and places his suitcase onto his desk. I don't even realise who is until he looks up at me.

Brian.

Alaska's father.

In that split second I feel a huge mix of emotions. I feel sick, I feel angry, I feel like running out the room.

I stand up from my desk and I quickly grab all my things, stuffing everything into my bag.

If he gets the chance to talk to me, he will try to convince me that he has changed, and that he is a good man. I know for a fact he isn't.

"Maya, where are you going? Class has just begun." Brian says as he notices me zipping up my bag and rushing towards the door.

"I...Uh I'm in the wrong classroom." I utter before opening the door and rushing out.

I walk down the hallway and feel my head begin to ache and my stomach churn. I feel the sudden urge to throw up. I quickly rush to the girl's bathrooms and I hide behind a stall, throwing up everything I ate this morning.

After I throw up my insides, I sit on the bathroom floor, feeling my head spin and I grab my water bottle out of my bag, accidentally spilling out all the contents from my bag. I pick up my notebooks and some random pens, along with a slip of paper, reminding me to take my birth control pills.

My mind buzzes as I try to find my pills, I haven't taken any for the past three days. I decide to take one even though it's early in the morning.

I hear the bathroom door speak open and the sound of a footsteps all the way to my stall.

"Maya. I know you're in there." someone says, I realise it's Alaska, her tired strained voice. "Maya are you throwing up, again?" She asks.

I hesitate, I'm not sure If I should answer and say 'yes', or just shrug it all off.

"Maya, why aren't you in class?" Alaska asks, sounding a little more irritated now.

"Maya, open the door."

"Maya, don't make me ask again."

"Please just open the door."

"Don't make me crawl on the bathroom floor just to come and there and strangle the truth out of you."

Alaska continues to shout at me to open the door when I burst out laughing.

"If you strangle me, you will probably kill me, so that would mean that I wouldn't tell you the truth, because I would be dead." I blurt, laughing like an idiot.

"Okay Maya you made your point, now just open the door please." Alaska begs and I finally give in and open the stall door for me.

She sees me sitting on the floor, with my bag open and my pills in my hands.

Alaska sits on the floor in front of me and grabs the packet out of my hands.

"You're still taking them?" Alaska asks and I nod. My head aches as I nod, so I shut my eyes trying to ease the head ache.

"But you have been throwing up every single morning." Alaska says quietly.

"So? I must just not be able to tolerate food in the morning. I used to not be able to eat in the morning." I mention.

"Yeah but sometimes you throw up even before you eat in the morning." Alaska implies.

"So?" I ask again, it's not it's a big deal.

"Maya, do you know what morning sickness is a common side affect for?" Alaska questions and I shake my head, not having the energy to reply to her factual questions.

"Maya, morning sickness is a large side affect from pregnancy." Alaska states.

I open my eyes and look at her. She can't be serious.

"When was the last time you had your period Maya?" Alaska questions.

"I don't know. Almost three months ago...." I say, before realising what I just meant.

Three months ago, I was off on the road trip, doing... Things.

"Oh shit. I am totally screwed." I say before slamming my fist against the stall door. Stupidly.
