I open my eyes just to see direct sunlight. I groan and roll over, just to completely miss the bed and end up on the floor. My head bangs the floor with a loud thud.

"What the hell?" I hiss, rubbing my head where I hit it. I can already feel a knot forming. I look up and see my bed across from me on the other side of my room. I look behind and see my window seat. What happened last night comes back to me and a smile creeps up on my face. I remember falling asleep on the phone with Noah.

"Oh my god Liv are you OK??" Emma says, rushing over and bending down next to me on the floor. She starts grabbing on me to see if I'm okay but I swat her hand away. "Emma I'm fine. I just was asleep and fell off the seat and hit my head." I try to say but she keeps on.

"Do you want something? Any aspirin? Icepack? I'll go get it for you." I laugh at her behavior. "Em it's like your acting like a mom!" I laugh, but quickly stop when I realize what I said. My face flushes.

I don't want to look at Emma but when I do I instantly regret it. Her face is a pale color and she looks like she's about to be sick. The realness of her situation shadows over the room. We're both taking it hard. Her more than me obviously.

"Em it just slipped out. I- I'm sorry." I mutter. Emma stands up and walks to my door. "Be ready by 11." She says then walks out towards her room. I internally bang my head against the wall numerous times. This is perfect. Just freaking perfect. I pick myself up off the floor and dust myself off. My phone somehow managed to stay on the seat and I pick it up. I have two new messages. One from Callie telling me how much she hates me and Macy for leaving her.

Macy's coming with me and Em to the doctor since Ben Can't. He has first semester tests and can't miss or he'll be kicked out of his classes. The only reason Emma got out is because she finished those last week.

The other text is one from Noah. Good morning Princess ;) sends my heart in frenzies. What is he doing to me?? He swoops in and changes my whole pattern of thinking. I'm starting to rethink the whole no feelings thing. Wait no. What am I saying? No feelings. Feelings lead to falling. Falling leads to Loving. Loving ends in pain. It's just not worth it. Not again. Never again.

"Why are you smiling?" Emma asks, stepping back in my room. I blush and hide my phone behind my back. "Oh uh it's nothing," I stutter. Emma's smile widens as she takes a seat next to me. She's changed from her outfit a few minutes ago. She's wearing a pair of black demon shorts and a long sleeved blue shirt with a pair of black converse.

"It doesn't have to do anything with that new boy of yours does it?" He questions again, making my blush deepen.

"He's not mine." I mumble, tilting my head down. Emma laughs and slaps my leg.

"Liv you like him! You really do!" She let's out. I look up at my sister's shimmering green eyes. "That's not exactly a good thing Em." I say, my mood changing. It's not a good thing. Nothing food ever cones from liking someone. I know from experience.

"Liv why do you think like that?" She asks.

I sit down on my bed and face away from her. Moments later I feel my bed sink beside me.

"I don't want to talk about Emma. Leave it alone."

"Well get ready. We gotta leave soon. Macy's meeting us there." She finishes, walking out of my door. I completely forgot about that. What if my sister is really pregnant? How will my mom react to it? Or my whole family? I mean I'll be there every step of the way but it's still overwhelming. I can't so this right now. Emma needs me.
