Chapter 14: Liar liar pants on fire

Krystal's POV

"Hey." Said the all too familiar voice and I internally groaned spinning around.

Reese was standing behind me with that worried look on his face and my heart started thumping. Immediately I squashed it.

"Reese I am so not in the mood for you right now." I tried to have some patience with him.

"I just wanted to check if you were ok." He said and I resisted the urge to scoff at him.

"I'm fine. I'll be even better if I can talk to Josh. Do you know where he is?" I tapped my foot impatiently. My anger was the only thing holding me from a nervous break down.

"No I don't." He replied slowly examining me.

"Well if you see him, tell him that I'm looking for him ok?" I stared at Reese for a moment and my facade faltered before my face became stoic again. Then I marched off to class.

My brain was whirling a mile a minute and I couldn't concentrate on anything in class. Lunch rolled around and I opted to eat outside by myself under a tree. I was drinking some ginger ale when Josh came up to me.

"I heard you were looking for me." He smiled tentatively and say beside me.

"Yeah." I put the cap back on the bottle and set it down.

"Listen I just want to say I'm sorry for how everything went down. I know it's the last thing you want to hear. I just had to get it of my chest. I love you no matter what Krystal you know that. But you must know being with you is no picnic."

"I know." I sighed. "I'm not the easiest person to be around. I'm just going through so much right now and it's weighing me down."

"I'm here for you." He squeezed my hand and I felt warm inside. Josh wouldn't abandon me.

"I need to tell you something." I said nervously. "Please don't freak out."

"Ok." He scooted closer and held both my hands.

"I'm pregnant."

He blinked. I wasn't sure how he was feeling. My palms started to sweat and I immediately regretted my decision. 

"Your pregnant?" He repeated.

"Yes." I whispered and looked down.

"Oh."

"What do you mean oh?" I felt panic bloom in my chest. This was such a horrible mistake.

"I'm just... I don't know what to say. Is this why you've been acting so moody?"

I nodded unable to look at him.

"Krystal look at me."

I slowly looked up.

"I don't know how, but we'll get through this." He reassured me. "I promise."

I nodded again my throat thick and my eyes swimming with tears. He pulled me in a hug and I squeezed him tightly. 

"We'll tell your parents together. You don't have to go through this alone."

I continued to silently cry, but my tears were for something else.

Kimora's POV

"You again?" The voice said over the phone.

"I want more." I replied calmly.
