Amy's Point of View:

     I decided last night, While I was pretending to be asleep, That I am going to pretend like Eve never made that assumption. I am going to pretend like when I stand I don't feel the need to throw up and the fact that everything hurts and is sore. Eve may have had symptoms like this while she was pregnant but that doesn't mean I am. I am not pregnant. I smile to self after visiting back to those thoughts as I open my eyes, Looking at Mark and feeling him slowly draw circles on my back before poking him "Good Morning" I smile before pecking his lips. I watch as he smiles back but his emotion quickly changes to confusion "What's made you so chipper" His finger lightly traces my temple before moving a piece of hair out of my face. My smile only grows "I feel much better" I say but don't know if I'm trying to convince myself or Mark of this at this point. I watch as the confusion washes out of his face "Good" He rubs his eyes and sets up "Lets go make breakfast" He looks to me as I hop off the side of my bed, Convincing myself that vile didn't rise in the back of my throat as I did so.

     'Its all about mind set' I think to myself as I whisk the yellow substance in the bowl below me 'This is eggs' I continue to look at them and quickly realizing I'm smiling at them. I shake my head out and close my eyes 'Get through this one batch and then you get to eat yummy eggs' I think again before Mark takes the bowl from me. I open my eyes again before turning to face Mark "What was that for?" I let my voice rise without realizing before looking to the floor and realizing what I had done. I look up, Frustrated at myself "You're green" He says as if its a common fact children learn in a history book "Eggs out of all things are making you sick? You love eggs" He almost laughs. I feel his frustration, We're running out of things that I can get down "No" I shrug casually "I'm fine" I say with full confidence even though thats not what I'm feeling. The front door opening interrupts our conversation and causes Mark and I to face the doorway, Seeing Ethan walk through "Hey Amy"  He smiles "Hey Mark" he gives a quick wave before setting at the table and unpacking his breakfast. I grip the countertops when he places the greasy wrapped food in front of him "How are you feeling?" He asks, Unwrapping the grease covered food. I feel myself trying to back up even more, Feeling the vile quickly rise "I'm going to shower" I say before walking past both of them "Excuse me" I make a b line for the stairs, Trying to escape that smell as soon as I can.

     Maybe I just need a do over start to my day. One that doesn't include eggs or greasy breakfast sandwiches. I dry my hair with the towel before hanging it on the back of my doorknob, Quickly moving out of the way as the door opens too close for comfort. I watch as Mark walks in, Confused when he doesn't see me so I walk out from behind the door "Hello" I say weakly, Trying not to focus on the events that almost happened this morning. He turns around to look at me "Hello" He mumbles, Scratching the back of his head "Are you ok?" His eyes are sad and so is his voice "Are we ok?" I watch him as he drifts his attention to the floor below him. This assumption shit is really getting to me more than I thought it would. I sigh and walk over to my bed, Patting the place beside me as I silently tell Mark to take his seat "We're fine, Mark" I hold his hand, Rubbing my thumb over the skin. His eyes find mine again "I can tell we're not" He looks at me with that sadness again "You loved eggs and eating shit food" He laughs at himself "You ran out of the kitchen this morning, Amy" His voice cracks and I smile trying to make everything all better. "I ran out of the kitchen this morning because I got a width of my stench" I laugh, Mostly at my sorry excuse but to make it more believable "I didn't want to disturb anyones breakfast" I sigh and itch the nape of my neck. I watch him closely, Seeing him try to figure this out "That's why you ran so fast" I don't know if he's trying to convince himself or me. I just nod my head, Sucking my lips in as I do so "Yes" I squeak, Another stupid nervous habit. He hops off the side of my bed "Ok" He smiles "Now thats thats figured out I have to go back to editing" He says excitedly, A complete 1-80 from two seconds ago. I just nod my head and watch as he leaves, When he closes my door I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

     "Amy?" I hear a small voice come through "Amy where are you?" I hear it get louder and closer, The light from the hall disappears as I'm assuming she closed the door. I pop my hand out of the top of the blankets, Still hiding the rest of my body under them "Here" I mumble before feeling her weight set on the side of my bed. The room falls quiet for a moment before I hear her sigh "I didn't mean to freak you out the other day" Eve's voice is soft, Not pushing to make me talk to her "I just want you to be aware and since you've never felt this before I wanted to put that out there" She pats my leg a few times before rubbing up and down. I don't know who called Eve to come over or if she came over herself but I have to admit, I'm happy she's here. I open my eyes and peek at her over the blanket "I'm not pregnant" I mumble into the blanket, Careful to talk too loud incase anyones outside. I watch as she shrugs "We don't know that sweets" She gives me one of those mom smiles where they think they know their right. I roll my eyes and hear her laugh after I do so "I'm not" I raise my voice slightly "Mark and I only have done that once" I groan and fall back to my bed. Eve sighs and I quickly feel her weight being lifted from my bed and the room falling quiet again "One time is all it takes sometimes" She whispers before rubbing up and down my arm softly "Tell me if you need anything, I'll be downstairs" She removes her arm and I hear her walk across my floor, Opening it and closing it right after. I groan and slam my hand on my face, Frustrated. It's a better idea just to ignore the rest of today and let myself go to sleep.

Today went well! When I got off of school I drove to my favorite fast food place and got dinner so I would say it was good all in all! I hope that when you start back to school you have a good day too! I hope you enjoyed this read!                                                                                                                                        xxParks
