a world of lies

chapter sixteen

Tears cascaded down my face delicately, my stomach curled up in more knots. I ran to the bathroom, puking my guts out. I didn't know how to react. Fear struck me hard in the chest with a gun, my blood spilling everywhere. It felt like I was falling in slow motion, and I lied there, dying a slow, painful death. 

"Mae?"

My head shot up. Who was calling my name?

I looked around my room, seeing my curling iron on the dresser. I clutched it tightly,Walking closely beside the doorway. 

"Ah!" I yelled at the person, sending them down the stairway.

"What was that for," I hear Parker moan. 

"Crap!" I ran downstairs, checking him. "Are you okay?"

"Well you probably threw my back out, but I'm good." He started chuckling. 

I helped him up, and then went to the kitchen to get him some water. Once I gave him a bottle of water, I sat down on the couch, pondering.

"Why are you here so early in the morning," I said, before he could say anything to me. 

"I was just worried about you," Parker started. "You were acting funny yesterday, after everything. I just thought maybe you needed-"
I felt a sharp pain in my stomach, making me jump up.

"Are you alright?" Parker looked at me curiously, with a little worryness in his eyes. 

"Yeah, I'll be o-" Before I could finish, I ran towards the bathroom, getting sick, yet again. 

Parker ran upstairs to my side, trying to check on me. 

"Come on, I'm bringing you to the doctor."
"No, I'm fine."
"I'll grab your coat," he said, running towards my room.

Once I was able to sit up, a thought hit me. 

"No! Don't go in my room," I yelled, running upstairs.

Then I saw disappointment in his eyes. The pregnancy test was in his big, firm hands. There was a note inside his other hand. I walked up towards him, taking the note from his hand.

let me give you a little hint

it's not yours

xoxo

"Parker..." I muttered his name. But silence filled the room. It was a couple minutes before I decided to say something again.

"I-" Before I could continue, he started murmuring. 

"Why."
"What?"
"Why would you do this," Parker said, sighing. 

Silence filled my room, making me nervous.

"Aren't you going to answer me?"
"Excuse me?"
"You told me you loved me yet you slept with someone else!"
"I do love you, are you kidding me?!"
"You slut!"

That hit me harder than it should've. My blood started to boil.

"Aren't you going to say something, slut!"
"I was freaking raped, Parker!" 

Tears streamed down my face, I didn't even look at Parker. He probably didn't even care. He said nothing. He wouldn't dare talk to me.

"Mae-"
"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, making my throat burn.

Parker did as I said. He walked down the stairs, slamming the door shut. First it was silent, until I started screaming at the top of my lungs. 
Parker's POV

"I was freaking raped, Parker!"

Suddenly, tears started falling down her face. Guilt slapped me hard, shutting my mouth. I didn't know what to say. My anger slowly went down, making me feel terrible. 

"Mae-"
"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" She screamed as loud as she could, making her veins pop. I've never seen her this mad. 

I did as she told me. I slammed the door on my way out. I was so mad at myself. I just yelled at someone and called them a slut, when she was raped. Who does that? 

I sat on her front porch, confused, not knowing what to do.

Mae's POV
I fell asleep next to the toilet. Sounds awesome, doesn't it? I walked down to the kitchen, grabbing something to eat. I grabbed a granola bar, and then dialed the doctor's office on my phone. 

"Yes, can I make an appointment for an ultrasound? Great, I'll see you soon."

I placed my phone delicately on the counter, taking a deep breath. 

What am I going to do with this baby?
