Naomi wakes me up, it's still dark outside and I can feel the cold air coming in through the open window. I look at her in the dark, not being able to make out her expression. I turn on my lamp to see her smiling. I had forgotten what she looked like with a beaming smile on her face.
" Guess what?" She squeals.
"What?" I say with anticipation.
"I'm pregnant!" She exclaims.
"Omg, that's great" I say with a fake smile and as I hug her my face drops. It's not because I don't like her happiness, it is just that it's Ethan's baby and she hasn't thought this one through.
" is it Ethan's?" I ask.
I see her flinch when I say his name, and suddenly her smile is overcome with sadness. I hate to have ruined her amazing mood, but she needed to know what was happening.
"How dare you talk about him, you make it seem like I slept around with other people!" She screams.
"Calm down, I didn't mean it like that. You just needed to realise that this isn't all butterflies and daisies."
"I can't believe you right now!"
"Please! Don't be angry, I love you so much and you are the only person I have left." I plead.
"Well you shouldn't have said that!" She says while running into the bathroom. I know going to speak to her will only make her more angry, so I open my phone.

Me and Naomi are eating breakfast, she said she doesn't want to fight. Although I can still see her bitterness towards me like fire. I made us some toast, and she nibbles it bitterly, but I am not very hungry so I nibble too.
"I am happy for you, it's just I needed you to understand what was happening. I love you mostest and I can't ever lose you." I blurt out.
"It is alright, I am sorry for getting so mad. I need you, for me and the baby."
I smile at her apologetically, and we laugh all morning about stupid things.

I suggest getting out for a bit, considering we have been in the house for a few days. She asked if I want to go to Starbucks. I wish that it could have been the whole gang going out but we had to make the best out of it. We lost Amy and Toby. Then Thomas and Ethan. I hope this is really over because I can't lose her and she can't lose me. I don't tell Naomi what I am thinking, because I know just by the look in her eyes that she feels the same.
We get into my car and the seats are cold and uncomfortable. The rain drops onto the windshield, causing a quite unsettling noise. I haven't been in a car for ages, I was scared since what happened to Tom. We make stupid small talk about the weather and fall into fits of laughter. I miss theys times, laughing at barely anything. For a moment, just a moment I think things might go back to normal, but it has been so long since it was normal I don't know what is it anymore.
I order my normal, chai tea latte, Naomi orders hers (vanilla latte). I sip at mine whereas Naomi gulps hers down ( as per usual). We talk about things form 'the Ellen show' to 'primary stories'. God I love how easy it is with her. She is my everything, and I need her to be here. Everything that has happened has sewn our friendship so close that the thread is stretching. I am so happy to have her, and her baby!
