"I don't wanna tell him" I mumble, gripping the test in my hands tightly. The pair look at me in confusion. I don't blame them, even I don't know who I'm talking about. Part of me is talking about Mike, because he's going to go mad. Another part of me is talking about Liam. He's probably just settled into life with his brother, I don't want to burden him with this.
I can't stop cursing myself for my stupidity. But it's not really just my fault. Liam and I were both so caught up in the moment that we completely forgot to use protection.
But I suppose there's no use in blaming myself right now. It won't change a thing.
"Mike, I mean" Elaborating, as I make the decision that Liam will never find out. Although he claimed he'd come back for me, he won't. And he shouldn't.
"He'll be disappointed" Saff says honestly and I feel an overwhelming sense of appreciation for her right now. In my current state of distress, I don't need someone to sugar coat anything for me. I need complete, brutal honesty. "But he won't be angry. He'll be there for you"
As much as I want to deny it because it's the safer option, I can't. I know with complete certainty that Mike will be with me every step of the way, no matter what I choose to do.
I nod, deciding that I need to get this over with before I can talk myself our of this. I get up from my crouched position on the floor, glancing at Tee and Saff who both shoot me encouraging smiles.
The entire walk down to Mike's office, I pray that I won't bump into Johnny. This conversation is already going to be hard enough, I don't need to deal with Johnny right now.
Before I even have time to process it, I've knocked on his office door and walked in at the sound of his call from inside. I don't meet his eyes as I sit on Gina's vacant chair.
I can't look at him.
I know I'll start crying the second I do. He has that thing about him. That fatherly look that makes you feel so comforted. Like no matter what you do, he could never hate you, despite him not being our real father.
"What's up Kiara?" He asks in confusion, clearly not having seen the pregnancy test which is hidden under the table, wrapped in my tight fist.
The moment I open my mouth to respond, I burst into tears. Silent sobs leave my body as he moves his chair towards mine and wraps me in a hug.
We sit there for what feels like forever. Neither of us making a noise. Judging by the sympathetic look on his face, I know that he thinks I'm just upset about Liam. That makes this next part even harder.
