IMPORTANT AUTHOR'S NOTE AT THE END!!

____________________________________________________________

(Amanda's POV)

"WHAT?!" I shout, shocked by her behaviour. She sits up on her bed, tears still rolling down her cheeks. 

"It's not what you t-think!" She cries out and I shake my head in disbelief.

"You cheated on him! What is there else to think?!" I snap and see her sad face contort in anger in a second. She stands up from her bed with difficulty, and slighlty tenses in pain as she steps closer to me.

"I did NOT cheat on Harry. I slept with his coach like a month ago, right before I met Harry. I didn't even know he was the coach until today." She explains in a sharp tone, all sadness and desperation suddenly gone. Again, I see her tense and she presses a hand on her stomach. 

Realization hits me hard and I look down ashamedly while guilt rushes over me. I feel bad for yelling at her and accusing her for things she hasn't done while her whole world is probably crashing down right now. I'm such a horrible person.

"I-I'm sorry" I apologize quietly and my eyes met hers. She sniffs again and sighs, running a hand through her hair.

"It's okay, you didn't know it. I guess I would've reacted the same." I sit back on her bed and she does the same. She places her other hand over her stomach,  and we both stare at it in silent.

"Are you going to tell him?" I finally dare to ask. She can't hide the fact that she's pregnant and I'm not sure the college will allow her to study in that condition. This is getting worse by every minute.

"Which one?" I can see a faint smile appear on her lips but it goes away immediately as she grimaces in pain. I slightly frown as I see her massage the skin just below her hips.

"Both...I guess?...B-But are you sure it isn't Harry's?" I push a little bit again, she probably had sex with both of them, how could she be so certain it's not his baby?

"Harry and I had always used condoms, except for our first time together. But I took pills the morning after just in case...I just don't remember taking one with Jaden" She says and shuts her eyes, closing them tightly and probably cursing herself for being so irresponsible in her head. A small detail flashes in my mind and I frown even more.

"Wait..How many days after you slept with Jaden did you have sex with Harry?" I ask and she gives me a weird look, whipping a small tear with the back of her hand.

"Erhm...Exactly a week after, why?"

"So that means that the embryo was one week old when you took the pills, right?" She nods, still looking at me strangely. "But in that short period of time, you lived a lot of nerve racking events, which can affect the way your hormones 'feed' and 'create' the baby, add to it the pills that is suppose to control these hormones..."

"Amanda, where are you going with this?" she cuts me off but I ignore her and stand up, pacing back and forth, focused on my thoughts. And then it hit me.

"Kim, we have to get you to the hospital!"

"What?" She gasps and I bent down to take our handbags from the floor in a rushed movement. 

"I'll explain it to you in the car, now we have to get to the hospital before it's too late!" I pull on her arm to make her stand up from the bed and push her out of her room. 

"Amanda, what the fuck are we doing?!" I can see the panic and confusion in her eyes. I place both my hands on her shoulders to make her immobile and look at her straight into her eyes.
