Tsubaki And Vhynn's Story

Chapter 17

The ride there was extremely awkward, and I couldn't help but feel as though there was something wrong. And of course there was, I am living a lie. I officially lied to my best friend, something I swore to never do.

What didn't help, was how stiff Vhynn was too. He was pale, and as his hand held mine, it was clammy with sweat.

Angel didn't talk to us as he drove, focusing on the road, leaving us in an awkward silence as we made our way to their house.

The house was a lot closer than I thought it would be, only a 10 minute drive. We slowly rolled up to a blue house on the street, and I could feel my heart beat erratically in my chest.

I tried to ignore my beating heart, as we opened the door.

Star seemed to absolutely glow as Angel walked in, her blue eyes glued to him, as she ran up to run him first. I felt a twinge of jealousy, and guilt. So much guilt.

But yet, I couldn't say a word,this was something I wasn't ready to share, not yet.

"So girl where's the positive test!?" I joked around, watching Angel stiffens bit. Was he really that against kids? I laughed to myself.

"I already told you that I'm not pregnant!" Said Star, laughing as well as she watched Angel stiffen.

"I know, I just think Angel's reaction is funny!" I said laughing, before she lifted her hand to show me a gorgeous ring on her finger.

Pride washed over me, I couldn't have been more happy for her, she truly did deserve him. I glanced at Vhynn, who for some reason was avoiding my eye.

"Oh! Congratulations!" I said, hugging her tightly, "Okay now honest question, is this because your pregnant?" I say in all seriousness, she's my just getting married for that right?

"No..."

"Okay... I just had to make sure!" I say, laughing loudly.

"Yeah... Okay..." she giggles softly.

"So Tsutsu what's new with you huh...?" She said smiling at me. She couldn't know could she?

"Uh... nothing really..." I said nervously, shifting back and forth between feet.

"Okay..." she smiled at me, before grabbing my wrist and pulling me into the other room,"What's really going on?" She said, being persistent.

"Um... I already told you! Nothing!" I stammered, my heart was racing, a I could already tell that this was not going to end well.

Finally, Star gave in as we walked out of the room. the door bell rang, and i followed er to answer it. behind the door was April and Nick my heart clenched knowing I would have to lie to them too.

I didn't know why my heart was so against telling them, but it was. And it hurt.

"Hey guys!" Star smiled.

Suddenly Angel appeared behind Star, talking before April could get the words out. "No she's not pregnant..." he looked at April and Nick who burst into laughing fits

I forced myself to life, feeling suddenly queasy.

"So wait you guys are both still clean...?" April said looking at Star, I tried to ignore them.

"Yes!!!" I laughed, "Why do you both think that we're being dirty!!!"

Suddenly I feel uncomfortable, overcome with nausea.

"Well we've all seen the way you guys act!!" said April laughing. Of course they wouldn't suspect us.

"Tsubaki..." Star said said looking at me.

I felt my heart clench once more as I turned to look at her, feeling guilt wash over me.

"What are you hiding...?" She asked sternly, I felt something break inside me then.

"Oh My Gosh!!! I told you to drop it!" I screamed, losing all control I had, storming out of the room, emotions going into over ride.

My first thought, was to run to Vhynn. From the second he saw me, he understood. He took me in his arms cradling me softly.

"It's okay Tsu, it's okay"

I shook my head furiously, tears threatening to erupt. "I want to go home, I just want to go home"

He patted my head softy. "Okay" he whispered softly. He glances a look towards Angel and Nick, who nods.

A little over a month has passed since we visited Star. I hate myself for what I did, why I didn't tell her. When we got home that night, Vhynn talked to me, and he had a very good point.

"I don't know why your trying to hide this from everyone Tsu, You-we, did nothing wrong. We had every right to do it, we're in love"

I frowned to myself now, thinking about what sad. He was right, there was nothing to be ashamed of, so why was I so afraid.

Vhynn had spent less time then ever with me. Leaving early in the morning and not returning until late at night.

The less time I spent with him, the more time I spent with Xi; though despite our fall out was still there for me.

I sighed, falling back onto the couch, looking toward the door. Today I thought to myself. Today I would talk to him, today I would confront him.

I had to know, I just had to.
