I fell back to sleep after Billy told me that he was coming. Sat up after a three hour nap, Pipi was about to come up as he saw me. "Good. You're up."
"Sorry. I haven't slept well last night."
"It's fine love. You feeling better thou?"
"Yes. Thank you." Other than smells are very strong and my stomach wants to do more flips.
Billy is lying. I'm not pregnant, even if I was he will just be accusing me about the baby not being his. If he is right, he wouldn't want to raise it.
But who would want me to be their mom? I'm so fucked up it isn't funny. Should I be really have this kid in my life. Some people say that having a baby changed their life for the better.
Like Joyce. Before her ex husband went bat shit crazy. They did fight a lot, thinking that the baby would help calm each other down would help. To Joyce she said that it helped for a little while and then Will was born and everything went down hill. Joyce stayed with her boys.
Sitting down as I warmed up my dinner, Steve enters in. "Hey weirdo."
"Hey lameo. What brings you by?"
"Nothing much." Shrugging his shoulders as he looked around. He did this as a boy.
"Such a lair." The microwave went off. Taking it out as I sat it on the table. "Spill." Getting two forks. Handing one to him.
We use to eat off of each other plates when we were younger. Or ice cream. Before I left we did that once and a great and I mean great while.
Sitting down nef to me as he took the fork. "Your going to hate me."
"Why?" I was a little cerous. Why would I hate him. "Does it have to deal with my father?"
Glaring at me with a pissed off sigh. "That man isn't your father." Something else was bothering him. Looking behind him to make someone wasn't coming. "So.. ugh Billy called."
"Of course he did." Shaking my head down low.
"Laurie and I wasn't home. His voice message said that I should check on you. I think he might had been drunk." My head tilt as he took a stab of the food. "He said that you are pregnant and should do another test to be sure."
"He told me that too. But I didn't listen. I have to much stuff on my mind."
"I told Laurie that too."
"Let me guess. She went to the best during store and is buying me one." I love you Laurie I really do. But girl I have other things on my mind then taking a test.
"Yeah. But she won't push you. You know that shes only looking out for you."
"Of course! Thanks for the warning I guess."
"You're welcome. There's more."
"Oh?" What could it possibly be?
"Billy is coming. Also saying that he'll be in the hotel. I mean at least he is supporting you. That's gotta saying something."
"He doesn't need too he can stay in the other guest bedroom."
"I told him that. But he wants to give you some space."
He could be stepping up or drunk off his ass after we got off the phone. Laurie did come back handing me a bag along with saying. "When you are ready. We will support you on whatever happens."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. I hope you're not mad." At you? No. At Billy? Yes! But I guess I did shut him down.
"No. It wouldn't hurt to check again. Right now just isn't a good time."
"Of course. I got that for whenever you are ready."
Changing the subject back to Billy. "Did he say on when hes coming?"
"Tomorrow."
I took to bites of food before I called it done. "Maybe he should stay at the hotel. I know he hasn't felt well."
Look Steve will tell Laurie everything like he should. But he wouldn't tell her about what's going between Billy and I. So Steve fib just a little saying that he hasn't felt well and it would be best of Billy would stay at the hotel in case if I was pregnant.
"Yeah. What an okay guy he his." Steve being sarcastic.
Taking the bag as Steve and Laurie had left. I phoned Billy since it wasn't late. He picked up sober as can be. 'Hey.' He mumbles.
Three things why Billy would mumble. One, he didn't get his way. Two he's tried or three he's angry. "Hey Billy. I got another test." Guessing he wouldn't care.
'It's my fault I meant for you to do that when I got there.'
"You shouldn't had left the message then. I won't take it until then if you want me to wait."
'I do. It's up to you.' Clearing his voice. 'Sorry I had dozed off, before you called.'
"That's fine. So you are really coming?"
'I said I was. I meant it. Did Steve tell you that I'll be at a hotel?'
"He did. Are you sure you want to come? I understand if you don't. You have work to think of."
'I'm sure. I want to be there for you. You'd be here for me if it was vise versa.' With a small sigh he also said. 'I passed my test.'
Test? Test for what? You're not in school anymore you dropped out for the second time. First you ran away with me. Then this is your second drop. So what?? Test for a job? "What test? And that's wonderful." I wasn't sure about that.
With a little grunt and a sigh. 'Yeah. Oh I guess I forgot to tell you. Before we got into our fight. I really was studying, I got an A. For science, and with math.'
"On both? Wow Billy I'm so happy for you." If it was the truth then that wonderful.
'Yes. It wasn't the same when I got home today.'
"What do you mean?" Really? Are you trying to make me feel bad about our fight? Or that I left?
'Honestly... I miss that you aren't home. I get it on what we said to each other. But I miss talking to you. And helping me study.'
Ha! Last week before we fought you told me I was the worst study partner. So I don't believe that. Laying in the bed. "Well you did it all by yourself. Even if I was home, you got this."
'Can't you be happy for me?'
What? "Billy I just told you that, that's wonderful that you past. What more do you want? Doesn't that show you that I am happy?"
'Maybe it was your tone that said it.'
"You know what Billy. If I am pregnant.. I hope that MY baby will have conmen sense." Slamming the phone down to hang up on him. What more can this man want when he lies to me about where he's been and doing.
Does he want a parade? For lying so much to me? Fine have one. I won't be going!
