T W O| Appointments

I just sat there trying to think of any excuse that wouldn't be lying I didn't want to be lying to her. If I'm honest I am going to need her throughout this whole journey. There was no to get out of this but maybe I could stall.

'Why would you think that.' I inquired looking out the window, Do not look at her eyes do not. Donut. hehe ok Riley focus.

'Because we are friends and I can read your mind. Also your pregnant. Shaboom I just blew your mind.' Maya proclaimed like she had just said that she found a leaf or something. I tilted my head clearly confused how she read my mind like damn. I know Zay didn't blab because I've been with him since the announcement. She wasn't at the drugstore or hotel. The restaurant was far away from New York and she had a doctors appointment how weird.

'Why would you think that am I getting fat or something.' I divulged trying to be oblivious. Maybe she didn't actually know she just like assumed or was joking oh my what if she was joking well fuck me twice and call me stupid. Actually don't fuck me I'm already pregnant.

'Well you know how I had that doctors appointment at Greenford hospital.' Maya spoke starting her story. Why does greenford hospital sound so familiar.

'So I'm sitting in the reception and suddenly I hear the receptionist say Riley Matthews age 18 OK. Obviously interested I kept listening and the next words were "for pregnancy ultrasound and all 5 tests were positive oh great" So I brush it off waiting for you to tell me then I realise you didn't tell me yet. So Zay called and I came.' Well hot dog hot dignity dog I did not see that coming fml'ing for sure. I released a sigh and went to my bathroom and showed her the five pregnancy tests I didn't miss the way her eyes light up as she saw them. The rest of her face stayed passive I could see a little bit of anger but I knew Maya. She wouldn't be gone for too long.

'My birthday night. Found out this morning. Planned on telling you after doctors appointment. Only Zay knows' I answered before she got the time to ask. Maybe we can read each others mind. She released a light smile before pulling me in for an abrupt hug. I fell into her embrace and rubbed her back slowly. I don't know if it was the magic of being in your best friends arms that sent your walls to come completely crashing down cause that's what I did. The hot tears fell down my face and I started sobbing into her shoulder.

'It's gonna be fine a Riley. You and Ranger Rick can get a job once you tell him. I totally support you not telling him by the way I mean he could react two different ways and we will just make sure everything is official.' Maya encouraged her smile lighting up the room. I just continued to sob into my best friends shoulder mumbling random phrases like "what am I gonna do" and "he's going to hate me". It wasn't until Maya abruptly stopped rubbing my back and I felt her heart beat speed up that I decided to look up with watery eyes to see none other then I quiet zay and a very confused, very mad Lucas friar.

I immediately blinked away the rest of the
tears and try rush to the bathroom but an arm like force hits my chest stopping me from going any further. He pulls me into his chest and I inhale his cologne. Just being in his chest just made me want to him everything. But instead, I choose to start sobbing again into his shoulder. I could hear the frantic movements of presumably Zay leading towards the window and I didn't know if they were uncomfortable or lathering up the entertainment. The latter seems more likely to me. Brightness overwhelms my eyes and I open them to see a pitiful Lucas friar staring right back.

'What did the doctor say I was worried about you' I squeak, I knew being worried about him wasn't a liable excuse for why I was crying considering I was laughing at him when it happened but it was worth a shot.

'Mild concussion princess. I know you were worried about me but that's not why you were sobbing.' He replies studying me face, the pity in his voice was prominent and it just made me mad. I know that when people feel bad for you most of the time it's because they care not because your weak but my brain likes to see the bad side of life. I search the lying files of my brain for anything that would be convincing enough and interest Lucas in discussion so he gets distracted. Maybe if I tell him the half truth he won't detect a lie and I'll get a little bit of worry away.
