Shattered Hearts

"My shattered heart is scattered throughout my mind"

My eyes flutter open as my phone beeps. Today, Saturday, I just wanted to sleep in. Groaning, I check my phone. The bright screen seems to blind me as I see three missed calls from Ivory and seven text messages from Mom. Even some from Dad. Sitting up, I unlock my Phone and click onto the messages.

Mom: Honey.... I'm sorry

Mom: answer me baby girl.

Mom: please.

Mom: I'm sorry that I ruined this family. I didn't mean for this to turn out like it did with Dad.

Mom: this is my fault.

Mom: Come on, answer me.

Mom: Mallory Gottfried!

Dad: Hey baby girl, me and Lynette want to visit you and Ivory down in College. We got some great news! See you soon darling. I love you.

Ivory: Your Dad and Lynette are coming down.

Lynette? Great. He is my Dad's girlfriend. She is so rude. She acts like she is my mother and she talks bad about me to my own father. Of course he listens. I see the door open and see Pricilla stumble through, holding her stomach.
"Pricilla??" I gasp, throwing my legs over the bed. "Oh my god. Are you ok?"
"I just got a little...." She begins to gag. Suddenly, Pricilla dashes to the bathroom, vomiting. I sigh, turning away from the mess.
I step out from my dorm and step outside and feel the sun on my skin. It feels great.
"Mallory!" I hear Justin call. I look up and smile happily.
"Hey! What's up?" I ask.
"Nothing much. I was just.... just heading over to the coffee shop," He chuckles nervously. I chuckle at his nervousness.
"Are you okay?" I ask, pulling my hair up into a pony tail.
"Uhh yeah... do you wanna join me?" He blurts. I laugh, then nod.
"Sure. Sounds good. I'll meet you out here in ten!" I reassure him.
I step inside and see Pricilla lying on her bed, groaning in pain. I watch her as I step into my closet.
"Are you sure you're okay?" I ask, pulling a maroon shirt from my closet.
"Never better!" She yells, vomiting again.
"I can stay home if you need me to," I offer.
"No! No!" She replies frantically.
I shrug and pull the maroon shirt over my body and pull black shorts over my thighs. I walk out and Pricilla was sitting down. Her face pale, she lies back, holding her stomach.
"Cramps?" I ask.
"No!" She snaps, throwing her hands in the air. Regret suddenly fills her eyes.
"I'm sorry."
"It's fine," I say, sticking my phone in my back pocket. I grab a black brush and pull my hair out of the ponytail. I begin to brush my hair as Pricilla stands up.
"Where are you going?" She asks, opening the fridge.
"Out with Justin. We're getting coffee," I explain, flipping my hair back.
"If you need me, I'll be here. Sleeping," She groans, grabbing a water bottle.
"Okay. Be safe and feel better!" I call before shutting the door.
Justin stands there, looking around. Once I step outside, his eyes lock with mine and his lips curl into a smile.
"Come on," He replies.
He leads me down the corridor, between the beautiful park. Flowers bloomed, and colors beam all around. Smiling, I examine the park.
"Wow," I breathed.
"I know," He chuckles.
Before I know it, Justin and I are standing in front of a building called "Karen's Cafe." Justin opens the door for me, allowing me inside. Smiling, I step inside of the cooled down cafe. It smelled of wonderful coffee.
I suddenly spot Bryce with some brunette. They were laughing and drinking coffee. A pang of sadness hangs around in my chest as I silently try to creep past them without being noticed.
"Justin? Mallory?" Bryce says, questioningly. I paste a smile on my face before turning around.
"Oh... hey...." I say, unenthusiastically.
"Are you okay?" Bryce asks.
"Fine," I mumble.
"Guys, this is Ivory!" Bryce replies. Once the girl turns, I see its Ivory. My freaking sister. Or ex- sister now.
"Ivory??" I shriek.
"Mal?" She asks, smiling widely.
"You two know each other?" Justin asks.
"Yeah, she's my sister," I cross my arms over my chest.
"Used to be."
"Oh.... Laura told you," Ivory says sadly.
"Justin, let's just go," I begin.
"Okay, ya. Sure. I'll take you somewhere else," He mumbles nervously.
"Mallory!" Bryce calls, but i ignore him. I'm already outside when Bryce is by my side.
His hand wraps around my arms as he tries to get my attention. I don't know why I'm so angry. I'm not even with Bryce.
"What's wrong?" He asks.
"Nothing," I reply, looking for Justin.
"Look at me." Bryce states. My eyes connect with his.
"What is going on? Did I do something?"
"Mal, you ready?" Justin asks, coming out of the cafe.
"Yeah," I nod. He motions me to follow him after he waves off Bryce.
I ignore Bryce's call and follow Justin. I know, that probably seems so mean of me. I don't know why I am. He's not even mine. I mentally slap myself.
"Is everything ok?" Justin asks.
"Yeah. Can we do a rain check?" I ask. Before Justin can even answer, I take off down the corridor.
I step inside of my dorm and find Pricilla sobbing. She's holding a stick of some sort and she is sobbing hysterically.
"Pricilla!" I gasp. Once I step closer I see that the stick is a pregnancy test.
"Oh my god."
"You can't tell anyone!" She sobs. "It's positive. I'm pregnant."
