Brian's POV
I called Amanda the next morning when I realized she wasn't there.
"Hello?"
"Jim?"
"Hey buddy, what's up?"
"Where's Amanda?"
"She's right here sleeping."
I raised my eyebrow.
"Why?"
"Well because your little girly friend from last night decided to try and kill what you and Amanda are expecting soon and you hurt Amanda from your drunken ways." Jim laughed.
"What are you talking about?"
Jimmy sighed before answering.
"Amanda needed a place to stay. And I think she still needs somewhere to stay for a few days."
"Jim, that's my girlfriend...why is she at your place?"
"I just told you, Syn. You and your girly friend hurt her last night."
I kept scratching my head. What did I do?
"I'm coming to pick her up." I grabbed my keys and headed out the door.
I hung up on Jim and when I got to his place he was already at the door.
"Is she okay now?"
"She's fine, she's sitting on the couch." he said as I walked past him and Amanda looked up at me. The expression on her face killed me a little...
"I'm sorry." I whispered in her ear, hugging her gently.
She didn't say anything. She wouldn't even hug me back.
"Hey," I looked at her and placed my hand on the side of her face, "Baby, talk to me."
"You don't even know what you're sorry for." she snapped and broke from my embrace, waddling to the upstairs.
I looked at Jim.
"What did I do?" I asked.
"Well..." he spoke quietly, "Kelly gave you a lot of drinks. You accepted them all. And being in the drunken state you were...at your own baby shower...Kelly was hitting on you hard and you didn't move her, when Amanda approached you about it you wanted both of them to hover over you, you agreed with Kelly when she told Amanda that because you guys aren't married you are still open to basically fuck whoever you want, and Kelly almost punched your girlfriends stomach because according to Kelly, you told her you weren't ready to be a father."
I stood in awe. I didn't know what to say.
"Syn," Jim walked closer, "I listened to Amanda cry almost the whole night. She dozed off here and there but she just couldn't stop. And apparently you couldn't stop with something else either," he said as I stared up at him, "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go check on your girlfriend."
"Let me," I said as he stopped in his tracks, "I...am the boyfriend here."
"Then act like it...alright?" he put his hand on my shoulder, "Syn, you're my best friend and I don't want to see anything bad happen between the two of you, especially with what's to come. I'm not trying to be an asshole here, I'm trying to get you to open your eyes."
I nodded and went upstairs.
"Mands?"
I checked each room and I couldn't find her.
