Blake's P.O.V.

After chatted about everyone and food I decided now was a good time. When she was sounding like herself again.

"Jess," I said rather serious. Because this is serious. She looked at me and got serious, so I continued, "have you been feeling, okay?" Usually cutting edges with this one leads to a dead end but maybe, just maybe this is the day. She looked at me her mouth moving slightly, trying to find the right words.

"Well, apart from evwryrhing, I feel weird. I feel sick but not in a fluie type way, if that makes sense." She looked at me hoping it truly make sense and boy did it make a whole lot-a sense. Shit. My can't I be wrong. Jess seemed concerned by my quietness and spoke up.

"Why? Do you know what's wrong?" And she gave me that look of 'help me understand'.

"Maybe but for me to know I'm absolutely right. Just listen," I braced her and myself, "I need you to take a pregnancy test." Her eyes widened and she slapped her hand across her mouth.

"Oh Gods."

"Don't get yourself worked up. But listen, right now at this very moment. I feel another energy coming off you, from inside." I sat beside her and held her shaking shoulders.

"You're young I know, but if you go off things back home, this for most people would be there second time pregnant at eighteen. I know things are different here but you have me and Masaomi has always talked about children." As if my words were bricks that had just slammed into her face she burst.

"Oh fuck! Blake what do I do? T-this isn't Masaomi's. I-I just know it. Oh god it-its.."

I stood up and held her tight by the arms not enough to hurt but to let her know I won't let go. I won't leave her.

"I know. I know exactly." I close my eyes.

"And this might not exactly sound like the best plan but you have to say it's Masaomi's. And to do that you have to sleep with him soon, before that," I make the notion of I'm talking about her stomach, "grows and becomes obvious. Now don't think you should force yourself to do it right away, I'm just saying."

"But it's not going to look after like Masaomi." Hysteria. I must calm her now before she gets worse. A hysterical Jessica is NEVER easy to calm.

"Then let's hope it's a girl and she looks more like you. I'll be able to tell later on if it will be or not."

Jessica caught her breath and sat down. She slowly nods taking my words in and agreeing. Though reluctantly, she knows I'd never lie to her. I excuse myself to let her breath and to talk to Sapphire about getting a test. He's the only person I can trust with this. He's the only person who knows about the whole situation both including myself and Jess. He gives me one no questions asked and I make my way back down the hall to mine and Jess's room.

"Jess I have-," I walk in and oh by holy gods I shoved the stick down my cleavage so fast the pain from the brisues around there hasn't hit me yet.

"Masaomi. I thought I told you I'd come get you when I was done with her." I made it sound as pouty as possible so I don't raise his suspicion. He chuckles.

"I know, but I was worried and needed to check on her." I pretend to be offended.

"And you don't want to check on me? How cruel." And by some miracle Jess laughed. I didn't think she knew how after all this.

"Oh what were you going to say to Jess by the way?" Are you fucking serious. Out of the all times, now is the time he notices the little things. OF COURSE IT IS! One lie/half truth coming right up. I sigh man I hate lying. But I don't feel as bad if I have a bit of truth in them.

"Oh I need to go to the toilet but I hate hospitals but I really need to go to I need Jess to come with me." I shake my hips in emphasis of toilet is a must. I don't really have to go. That's the lie. But it's true when I say I hate hospitals and Jess does need to come with me so I can get this stick out my boobs. It's rubbing against a bruise. Masaomi frowns but lets Jess come with me.

"Nice one. How do you do it?" She praises me.

"Unlike you I can lie without giving it away." I smirk and walk into the bathrooms. I don't need to look behind me to know she's salty at me.

I read out the instructions on how to use it out to Jess. She follows them as instructed and almost instantly we see a pink plus. I look at the symbols;

"Positive."
