Saving Venus || HEMMINGS

"Hey" my sister said to me hugging me.

"Hi, wow I haven't seen you in a long time" I said shocked.

My dad came from the kitchen and my brother came from the family room.

They hugged her and my brother took her luggage from her.

"I'm here because I just thought the four of you guys could use some help around here" my sister told us.

"I'm glad you're here baby" my dad said to her.

"But we don't need help we are fine," I said to her smiling.

"I mean a lady here, to do the lady things. Like laundry, cooking, cleaning" Skylar said to me.

"Sky, we share the chores here. I do the laundry, Ashton does the cleaning, and dad does the cooking" I explained.

"And one more hand couldn't hurt," she told me as she went upstairs.

Upstairs the door opened and there was my little brother Mason.

"Skylar!" He yelled.

She picked him up and hugged him tightly.

"Mason! You're so big!" She said happily.

They started chatting and I just went into my room.

I called Prishna.

"Hey," I said to her.

"What's up?" She asked me.

"I need to talk to you" I said to her.

"Uh yeah, about?" She asked me.

"In person, just come over it's important" I said before hanging up.

In my room I just casually went on my phone and entered the world of "Instagram"

Thousands of photos of people from my school and friends and distant family.

Social media was my escape, but I was curious to find out more on Luke.

I searched the name Luke Hemmings and sure enough he came up.

I clicked on his page and it was filled with pictures of his friends, music, and other dark stuff.

I tapped on the pictures of his friends. They were seniors like me.

I think I knew one of them. Michael Clifford.

I went back a few years and saw a really old picture from 2014. Calum, Luke, Michael and my brother Ashton.

They all seemed so happy and friendly.
I didn't even know my brother knew Luke or was even friends with him.

As I was checking the picture out my thumb slipped and I accidentally pressed the like button.

I threw my phone away from myself.

"Oh god, oh god, oh no no no" I started repeating over and over again.

I grabbed my phone and I unliked the photo quickly.

As I did that there was a knock on my door.

"Come in," I said as I stared at my phone blankly.

"Hey, I'm here now. What was so important you needed to talk about in person?" Prishna asked me.

She looked sweaty and out of breathe. Almost nervous looking.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"Nothing, so are we gonna talk?" She asked me.

I set down my phone and she sat next to me.

I tried so hard not to cry while telling her but I just let it out.

She held me in her arms.

"What happened?" She asked me as she rubbed my back.

"I broke up with Calum, so he slapped me" I told Prishna as I cried into her arms.

"What?!" She said concerned.

I nodded at her and wiped my tears.

"Venus, there's something I need to tell you and please don't get mad at me," Prishna started to say.

I was already getting frustrated at the fact that she had kept something from me.

But what she told me was chilling.

"I had sex with Calum, while you guys were dating. And I'm pregnant" She confessed to me.

She started pouring out tears.

"Prishna, I'm not mad at you, I'm disappointed in the fact that you kept that from me. But we aren't together anymore." I said to her calmly.

"Venus, please say something. Anything about the pregnant part" Prishna begged.

"We are gonna get through this together," I said hugging her.

All she could do was cry into my chest.
And I cried with her to.

When Prishna left I got ready for bed as I was putting my hair in a ponytail my phone buzzed.

I finished tying my hair up and checked my phone.
