The Difference

Chapter 24

       Dakota Walliams – Monte Carlo – I Think I’m Home

I’m pregnant. I’m pregnant. How the hell did I let this happen? I could swear I was extra careful. I always used protection so how did this happen? I’m lost and confused. Most of all I just hurt Corbin. I know he loves me and yeah, I love him too but I didn’t think about that when I decided to continue sleeping around. I won’t be surprised if he doesn’t want to see me again. Another issue is I don’t know the father of the baby. I’ve been having fun with Prince and Mark for some time now so definitely it’s one of them but I’d have to give birth before I do a DNA test. I took out the test results from my bag and stared at it for the hundredth time. It’s positive. POSITIVE. I got a call from Shirley.

“Hey,” she said once I picked up. “What’s going on?”

“I presume Corbin has told you what’s has happened?”

“Yeah. What’s this with you being a sex addict and pregnant?”

“I’m so ashamed of myself right now. I don’t even know what to do.”

“But Candy, why didn’t you tell me anything? You know we could have figured something out together.”

“I was ashamed and I didn’t know how you’d receive the news.”

“Oh, Candy. So what are you going to do now?”

“I’m definitely keeping the baby even though I don’t know who the father is. If I have to be a single mum I’m going to do it.” I said even though I wasn’t so sure about it.

“I’m here for you.” She assured me. “But what are we going to do about Corbin? I’m pretty sure he doesn’t want to see or talk to you now. Much less even do the talent show with you.” She stated the obvious.

“I know. I can’t believe I’ve lost the only guy who ever loved me. I have caused him so much pain and I deserve his anger towards me.”

“Do you love him?” she asked.

“I do.”

“So we are going to get him back and I’m going to help you.”

“Oh Awineet. Thank you.”

We started planning what we would do. Praying that it will work.

            Zayn Princeford – Monte Carlo – At Home

Andy had come to visit me. He was helping me with how I was going to approach his dad to win his trust and approval to be with Shirley. His dad was still mad at even though months have passed by.
"He still doesn't allow me to go out. Not without supervision. I think I've lost his trust forever" He sounded so final about it.

"C'mon. I don't think he'd hold this against you forever. You're his son. He'd definitely forgive you eventually." I tried assuring him.

“I hope so. So, what are we gonna do about you and Shirley?.” he asked.

"You know how the talent show is next week?" I asked.

"Yeah."

"I want to do something on that day to impress your dad. So I can get Shirley back. I've gone to his office to try to talk to him only for him to sack me. And I won't stop because I want him to know how I'm serious about her. So you're going to help me out." I told him.

"Okay. But what are you planning to do?" he asked.

"I'll let you know soon"
