As much as I love being right, this was one of the times I hated it. Just like I feared I had a dream and I had to wake up to a nightmare. That's what it's been like for a full week of not seeing Vic. As much as I was upset with him, I was beginning to get worried because I haven't seen him at school either. I stopped by his house a couple of days ago just to ask if he was okay. According to his mom he's okay physically, but he wasn't doing well mentally. That tore me up. I wanted to go in there and make him happy, but I also knew I can't. I'm who he needs to stay away from.

I sat down in my first hour, and grabbed anything I knew I'd need out of my bag. I could tell there were bags upon bags under my eyes. I didn't mean to be a reflection of my feelings, but my pregnancy hormones have kept me on edge, and the babies have been waking me up at night. A basket was sat down in front of me, it held snacks and a teddy bear. I looked up from the goody to see that It was Oliver that had brought me the basket.
"Good morning. I hope this isn't weird, I just noticed that you've been having a hard week. I know that can't be easy considering," He motioned to my tummy. He's the last person I would've expected to be comforting me because I had rejected him. I won't deny that I'm thankful though, it was kind of him to bring me a gift basket.
"Thanks Oliver, it means a lot." I give him a soft smile relaxing in my seat. That was the first unforced smile I've made in a week. Oliver doesn't seem like he'd be a bad friend, I was just worried he'd take things the wrong way.

"How have you been?" Since I've moved seats, Oliver and I don't get the chance to talk as often as we used to.
"Pulling through I guess. I'm guessing everyone's heard?" I questioned looking at him. A frown tugged at his lips and he nodded as he sat down at the desk next to mine.
"Yeah, I'm sorry. You guys were great together," he said.

Were great together.
I would be fibbing if I said that didn't hurt. The bell rung, and I was thankful, I didn't have to go into conversation about it. "Thanks Oliver."
"Not a problem, I'm going to go sit at my desk. I'm here for you if you need though, and you have my socials so hit me up." With those words he left my side.


The rest of the day went by smoothly, and while I was in my last class I finished my work early since it was a continuation of yesterday's work. I let my head and back lean against the wall. After a couple of minutes of sitting, I found my eyes getting heavy. I tried to fight but sleep won the battle, and I let myself be pulled into our dream realm

I sat down at a park bench. Everything around me was green, and I could tell it was warm from the way the sun kissed my skin. Looking down I noticed that my stomach was flat, but I was completely calm. A little had tapped me, and I looked up seeing a girl with tanned skin and dark curly hair tapping my knee.

"Come play mommy!" She smiled, grabbing my hand tugging at it. I stood up following her as she led me.

"Dada's already hiding so you gotta count!" She giggled.

"Okay I'll count to ten, you'd better hurry and hide though!!" I covered my eyes and began counting. "Ready or not, here I come!" I started searching around the park. I walked onto the huge play gym, knowing at least one of them was hiding in one of the castles. While tip toeing I approach a castle, and I smile seeing the back of Vic's vans. He must've been looking out the window for me. I sneaked up behind him, and hugged him.

"I found you!" I laughed, feeling his body stiffen before he realized it was me. "

Unfair," He laughed, turning in my hands.

"You made it easy for me," I giggle before he places a sweet kiss on my lips.

I feel myself being shaken awake, it making me nearly jump out of my skin.
"Sorry man, It's almost time for us to head out." Justin explained. Disappointment set in just as quick as my happiness did, back to reality. Why do I keep having dreams of him? He doesn't even want to be with me, so they can't be looks into the future. Tears sprung into my eyes, and I tried to blink them back.
"Are you okay?" Justin asked, noticing.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Let's just get out of here," I muttered, putting the one thing I needed to away.

I move around in my seat attempting to get comfortable. Court benches have the worst comfortability. I wonder how people who regularly deal with this stay comfortable. Yet again though, I could just be uncomfortable because I'm huge. We were at Wade's trial, and the judge just read his sentence. He'll be in there for at least thirty years for attempted murder, and that caused a feeling of relief to wash over me. We won't have to deal with him ever again, at least not until he gets out. I don't care if his way of thinking has changed, I felt safer with him behind bars and security.

"The court finds Wade Bostwick guilty of all charges against him." The judge hit his gable against the wooden slab. Jenna and I hugged each other, and Justin, who was also there, joined our hug.
"It's over!" Jennifer smiled at mom who then hugged her.
"I hope you guys realize what you did. I won't be there to protect you anymore! I told you that boy would leave you. I see it in your face!" Wade shouted at us as he stood up from his seat.
"You never protected us!" I said, feeling my heart drop. That happened every time I managed to forget about my situation for a few hours. I still haven't heard anything from Vic, and now it's been half another week. I pushed the thought of Vic to the back of my mind, as the police officers took Wade to the back, and we all stood. When he was gone, we all cheered happily. I wished I could share this moment with Vic.
"Let's get food. It's on me!" Jennifer said, throwing an arm around mom's neck. Jennifer and Jenna are so similar, it's funny their names are almost alike too. I ran a hand over my belly chuckling softly as I felt the little ones moving.
"Are you happy too?" I said looking at my tummy.


I put myself on autopilot for the day. With me being so vulnerable everyone has been hyper focused on me, and with that I know I've been bringing down people with my emotions lately. I kept the focus off of me, so I could keep everyone else happy. Today is special, we officially don't have to worry about Wade anymore. Keeping a mask on was proving to be more emotionally exhausting than I thought. While at the restaurant a customer walking by caught my eye as he had hair exactly like Vic's. I allowed my eyes to follow the figure just to find out that he was just a stranger. I could already feel a wave of emotions coming for me, so I excused myself from the table. Only a few tears fell before I managed to keep it together. I washed my face before joining the group, and throwing on a fake smile.

For the rest of the day I managed to keep myself together until we had arrived at home. I went straight to Justin and I's room, and buried myself in my covers. There I finally let all my emotions flow, where it was like my crying picked up right where it left off. Next thing I knew I was heaving while tears streamed down my cheeks. I just wanted this pain to go away. I wished I could turn my emotions off with a switch.

Why do I have to go through my second breakup while I'm in my most vulnerable state? Why did Vic even have to leave when he told me he wouldn't? I still don't get it.
I saw my stomach move as one of the babies kicked. "I'm sorry your dad isn't here," I sniffled, putting my face in my hands. My waterfall of emotions didn't stop for another half hour. By then I was ready to pass out from how puffy my eyes felt, but I also didn't want to sleep at all. I don't want to have another happy dream about him. That's all they are, and I can't see any of them being true. No matter how hard I try, I can't manage to stay awake, and I fall asleep with a pencil in my hand.

When I wake up all my school things are off my bed, and on the table next to me where there was a glass of water and a note.
It read, "Make sure you drink some of this when you're up! Hydrate yourself my little plant - Mom" with a heart at the bottom. I take big swigs of the water before swinging my legs off the side. I used the bathroom before making my way downstairs where it was oddly quiet. Mom and Jennifer were both passed out on the couch with the TV still on. Jenna and Justin both must be gone.
"I know," I said to myself, hearing my stomach rumble. Just as I was about to head toward the kitchen I hear a knock on the door. I waddle over to it forgetting to check the peephole, and instead I open it. I gasped, my eyes widening as my heart thumped in my chest. The steady beat made its way up to my ears as my jaw went slack.

It was Vic.
