Domino Effect

Chapter 39:

***NICK'S POV***

I don't know if I had just ruined everything with Sian. I hope I didn't. I pushed it aside for a moment and got ready.

***SIAN'S POV***

I didn't know what to wear, so I called Sam.

"Hello?" She asked on the other end.

I shuffled through my closet. "What do I wear? And can you come over? I need help!"

"Okay," she answered, "I'm with Carter, too. Is that okay?"

"Yeah, sure. Just hurry please."

"5 minutes?"

"Okay. See you then."

"Talk to ya later, sis." Sam said before hanging up.

***CARTER'S POV***

I haven't talked in days. Mikey knew I was pregnant, and now he probably hates me. I don't blame him. I should have told him. But, then again, I think it was obvious. I didn't have a reason to talk. The only person who can actually cheer me up didn't want anything to do with me. This hurt me....too much.

"Carter, get ready. We're going to Sian's." Sam said from my bedroom door. I burried myself in my bed.

"Cone on, Carter. It'll be good for you." Sam said, poking at my head. I took a pillow and put it over my head. She sighed.

"I'm calling Madison."

"NO!" I yelled, sitting up.

She laughed. "Talking now?"

I rolled my eyes and layed back down.

And then the doorbell rang.

"I'm going to get it, and when I come back, you're gonna be ready." Sam said, walking out.

I sighed and closed my eyes again.

"She's in her room." I heard Sam say to someone downstairs.

The last thing I needed was a visitor. I just wanted to dissapear. Forever.

Someone lightly knocked on my door. "Ike? You awake?"

God, help me!

I didn't move, pretending I was asleep.

He sat at the end of the bed and rested his arm on my foot.

"Ike, I know you're awake. Just, please, listen?"

I did nothing.

"I know it wasn't your fault. You didn't deserve it. No one does. It's easy for me, you know, to get mad because I'm a dude. And dudes don't go through this. I over-reacted. I know, and I'm sorry. I really am. I want to make it up to you. Carter-"

He sighed.

"-I want to help you raise the baby."

I didn't know what to say.

So, for the first time in a few days, I spoke a full sentence.

"I'm giving it up for adoption."
