MR AND MRS

Continuation Of Last Chapter:

Me: Fine

A minute later, I hear Spencer’s footsteps approaching my room. There's a knock, and when Spencer opens the door, all the guilt and butterflies stir up inside me, forcing me to run to the bathroom. I throw up everything I had earlier.

“You okay, Liv?” Spencer asks, his voice filled with concern.

“Yes. All good. I'll be out in a second,” I manage to say, trying to sound like I hadn’t just emptied my stomach.

Finally finding the courage to get up from the toilet, I brush my teeth and wash my hands. When I walk out, I see the one and only, Spencer James sitting on my bed.

Here goes nothing.

“So, what did you want to talk about?” I ask, walking over to my desk and sitting down.

“Why you  acting the way you are when your around me?” Spencer asks, cutting his eyes at me.

“Acting what way?” I ask. Spencer scoffs.

“Like I did something to you,” he says, standing up.

“Maybe because you did. Or maybe because I just don’t want to talk to you. Now if you excuse m—” I start before being cut off by Spencer.

“Why can’t you just talk to me, Liv? I get that night changed somethings, but we can work through it. But Liv, please just talk to me,” Spencer says, grabbing hold of my wrist.

“Let. Go. Of. Me,” I shout, making Spencer jump.

“Fine,” he says, releasing me.

I rush out of my room, leaving Spencer behind. As I make my way downstairs, I see everyone already in the living room, laughing and having a good time. I greet everyone before sitting on the couch, crossing my arms against my chest.

A couple of minutes later, I see Spencer come downstairs and greet everyone, before sitting down NEXT to me.

It’s going to be a long night.

Finally, the game is over, and the team I hoped would win did. I can’t stop thinking about how I’m going to tell everyone the grand news. “Liv, you’re going to have to tell them sooner or later. But I can’t right now because my ex/baby daddy is sitting right next to me. You know what? I’m just going to do it!” I think to myself, before walking to the middle of the room and standing in front of everyone.

“Guys, I have something to show and tell y'all,” I say, taking the sonogram photos out of my pocket and handing them to Layla. “Pass it around.”

“Oh my God!” Layla screams, passing the pictures to Coop before coming to hug me.

“Yo, congrats, Liv,” Coop says, getting up to join the hug.

“I already knew! But I’m so excited for you,” Simone says, with her and Jordan joining the hug after Jordan passes the pictures to Spencer.

When Spencer looks at the pictures, he goes from confused to star-struck. I want to run upstairs, but my gut tells me not to.

“You’re pregnant?” Spencer asks, as I nod nervously.

“Who’s the father? I mean, he must know, right?” Coop asks, as tears I thought I could hold back cascade down my face.

“No, he doesn't" I say, looking at Spencer, making more tears fall.

“How far along are you?” Layla asks, slowly lifting my shirt to reveal nothing.

“Six weeks. I went to my first appointment today,” I say, then Spencer throws his head back in frustration.

“Liv, you can’t skip over the biggest question Coop asked,” Spencer says, clearly annoyed. “Who’s the baby’s father?” he presses, now standing up.

“You are,” I say, starting to sob, and everyone but Jordan and Simone’s mouths drop.

“Guys, I think we should give them some space. Let’s go outside to the backyard,” Layla suggests. Everyone agrees and follows her outside.

“Spencer, I’m—” I start before being cut off.

“Fuck that, Liv! You knew for how long and didn’t think to tell me?” Spencer shouts.

“Because we’re not ready! Hell, we’re not even together! We’re both still in college! I’m not even marr—God, I hate you so much! You’ve ruined my life!” I shout, allowing more tears to stream down my face.

“I get why we’re not ready and stuff, I do. But we could be prepared. And why do you hate me so much? Huh?” Spencer says, taking a step closer as I take a step back.

“Were you even going to tell me?” Spencer asks, his voice getting softer.

“I can’t do this right now!” I say, storming off to my room.

When I get back to my room, I take a shower and do my night routine, then get in bed.

I cried myself to sleep that night.
