*Flashback*

"Oh my god. These girls are such idiots.", Ava said to Geoffrey as they watched the infamous show "16 and Pregnant".

Geoffrey nodded as he agreed. "It's a damn shame."

"I could never get pregnant until I was at least twenty five...actually I don't think I'm having kids at all..."

Geoffrey sighed. "You have a point, but you might change your mind in the future, you know?"

"That's true. But for now, I'm happy being kid-less.", stated Ava.

"You never know what the future is gonna hold, I guess.", Laughed Geoffrey.

"Hmm, guess not. You can only live things one day at the time."

*end of flashback*

*Avadele's POV*

"Hi, Christina.", I called as I got to the house.

"Hola, Ava...its almost five. Could I ask why you came home so late?"

"I...uh...i had to think for a little bit."

Christina nodded as if she understood but still gave me a suspicious look. "Ohh, okay then."

I was about to sit down when I got a phone call. It was from Bryan. Oh shit.

"Listen, I gotta take this...", I said apologetically, pointing to my phone. I felt a little rude jumping on the phone as soon as I got home

"Alright, take your time, Ava."

I went outside to answer the phone. I didn't even get a chance to say hello because

Bryan started speaking as soon as I answered.

"Where the hell are you, Ava? you never came back to lunch."

"Something happened... I'm fine now. so don't worry."

"I'm gonna worry. You didn't even tell me you were leaving."

"I know, I was just a little overwhelmed."

"Overwhelmed? with what?"

I sighed. "It's something I'd rather not talk about over the phone."

"Fine. Then I'm coming over there." Before I could protest, he hung up.

Great, just when things were starting to become normal between us. now I had to break this news to him and risk messing everything up again.

I sighed as I went back inside.

Christina must've noticed how down I looked. "You okay?"

"I'm fine..."

She said nothing as she eyed me for a minute. "Alright then. Could you pick up Annabelle from school for me?"

"No problem.", I said grabbing my keys. "Anything else?"

"No, not now. But when you get back I want you to tell me what exactly is going on with you."

* * *

"...And then Jeremy tried to kiss me! But I pushed him away because I didn't want to kiss him. I think he's weird...", Said Annabelle as we were driving back home.

I smiled a bit as i listened to her innocent little story, but at the same time I felt horrible. She was talking away about kindergarten, cooties and how she never wanted a boyfriend and here I was, pregnant. I thought that over again. I was pregnant. Carrying life inside of me. I was with child.

And I had so many people to break the news to.

Once we made it home I noticed Bryan's car was in the driveway. Oh great, he was already here.

I took Annabelle by the hand and took a deep breath. Here goes, I thought as I unlocked the door.

Sure enough, Bryan and Christina were waiting inside.

"He's here to talk to you.", Said Christina. She came over to take Annabelle's hand. "Ill leave you two alone for a little bit.", She said as she left the room.

Bryan stood there waiting for an answer. "Well?"

"Well, what?", I asked dumbly, even though I knew exactly what he was waiting for.

"Why were you so 'overwhelmed' today?", he asked, putting air quotes around the word.

"'Cause I found out something..."

"Okay...?"

I didn't realize it'd be this hard. "Bryan..."

He raised an eyebrow as he waited for a reply.

"I'm pregnant.", I said, my voice was barely higher than a whisper.

"You are...?"

"I just found out today..."

"Ava...", he pulled me in for a hug. He was taking this a lot better than I thought.

"You're not mad?"

"No, why would I be? We all make mistakes." He paused as he collected his thoughts for a minute. "But...Who's is it? Ava, it's okay if it's mine. I promise I'll-"

I slowly put my hand up to stop him. "Don't worry. It's not yours, it can't be yours. Our little...incident...that happened towards the end of January. It's the beginning of May. I think I'd've been able to tell before now..."

He looked slightly relived but still a little troubled. "Then who's is it?"

I looked down for a minute. "The only other guy I've been with recently...Geoffrey."

"But Ava, that doesn't make any sense. You two broke up way before we even hooked up..."

"Yeah, but..."

Bryan sighed. "How recently did this happen?"

"About a month ago."

"You're gonna have to tell him."

"I know. But I don't know how to..."

He smiled at me sympathetically but there was still sadness in his eyes. "I think you'll find a way."

"Listen, I'm sorry for putting you through this. And...I know that you have feelings for me. And I used to feel the same way...i just wish I still did."

He hugged me again. "I'm sorry for going off on you earlier. Good luck, Ava. If you need me, just call and lemme know.", He said in an understanding tone.

"Oh, and Bryan?"

He turned before opening the door. "Yeah?"

"Thanks for everything."

And once he left I could tell that I had broken his heart.

Later on, after we had eaten dinner, Annabelle was busy braiding my hair when she asked me a question.

"Ava?"

"Yeah?"

"Who was that boy you were talking to earlier?"

I smiled slightly. "He's a friend, a really good friend." I wish I could've loved him like he loved me, I thought.

"Good. 'cause I thought he was your boyfriend.", She said, pretending to gag.

I laughed a little. "No, he's not. But any girl would be lucky to have him in her life."

Moment of silence for our friend, Bryan, in the friendzone. 😓
