Chapter 14:

Avyahna's POV

"I'm coming, I'm coming chill out."I say running down the stairs. I open it and it's Harmoni, but she looks horrible. Her face is really pale and kind of greenish, her hair is a mess. She has dark circles under her eyes.

"Harmoni? Girl what happened?"I say as she walks in. I shut the door behind you.

"I don't know. I have been feeling horrible for like a week or two now. I don't know how long....what day is it today?"She says sitting on the couch. My mom comes down stairs about to go to the store.

"Hi sweetie, oh what's wrong?"She says.

"Hi...I don't know just sick I guess."She says.

"Avyahna don't just stand there go make the girl some soup."She says.

"Oh no I'm-"My mom cuts her off.

"Nonsense, you need good soup, lots of fluids and rest. I have to go, feel better."She says, then she leaves.

"Avy you don't need to-"I cut her off.

"No you need some. I'ma get you a blanket, and some lunch. Give me five minutes."I say, I go to the linen closet and get her a thick soft warm blanket. She's laying down on the couch, I cover her with the blanket.

"Okay, I'm gonna make you lunch."I say, I go in the kitchen, make her some chicken noodle soup, warm up some biscuits, and pour her some orange juice. I give the lunch, she eats it slowly. Finally she finishes, I take her stuff into the kitchen and I'm washing her dishes when I hear her run in the bathroom.

"Harmoni, Ni-Ni....sweetie are you okay?"I say, I press my ear to the door, I hear her throwing up.

"Harmoni, you better not be bulimic."I say.

"No stupid, I'm throwing up. And not on pur-"She starts throwing up again. Finally she stops, washes her hands, rinses her mouth then comes out.

"Are you alright?"I say, rubbing her back.

"No my ankles hurt, my back hurts my head hurts, I'm tired, and I am constantly feeling nauseous. And please tell me I'm not getting fat, because I swear my stomach was flat as a plywood board."She says, then she slides down the wall crying.

"Aww, hon. It'll be okay."I say.

"No it won't....I already know what's wrong..."She says from behind her hands.

"What...?"I say still not putting two and two together.

"I think....no...I know I'm pregnant."She whispers.

"What?"I say not believing it.

"Yeah....And I can't tell Antonio. He would kill me."She says, sadly shaking her head.

"No he won't. He loves you."I try and convince her.

"Yeah, but he would hate me if I was pregnant. He got a girl pregnant once and she didn't want him in the baby's life. And now he just hates anything to do with it."She says.

"So what are you gonna do?"I say.

"Well I called my cousin Dion. Him and Pouja don't mind if I come and live with them."She says.

"So you're just going to leave...?"I ask.

"I have to. I just wanted to tell you I love you and you were like a sister to me. I told Naomi before she left on her trip, I just couldn't tell you. You were like my big sister and I thought you'd be really disappointed in me..."She says, standing up.

"Harmoni you don't have to go..."I whisper.

"But I do and you know it. Just come help me move my stuff, into my car. Marquise went and got my Escalade."She says. A few tears escape my eyes, buy I nod.

"Okay...I just can't believe you're actually leaving."I say my voice thick with tears.

"I know buy it has to be done. Antonio won't be back until late tonight. I already have boxed most of my stuff. I'll just pass it to you through the window. I don't want anybody to know I'm leaving."She says. I break down, after a few minutes of crying and holding each other we leave.

Her Escalade is in the back, trunk already open. I put down the seats. And get ready for the first box. She passes it through the window. We continue for about fifteen minutes, all in all about eight to ten boxes.

"I'm gonna write Antonio a letter. I'll meet you out front.

"Okay."I say. After about twenty minutes she comes out. We hug again, then she gets in her car and leaves toward New York. I head back to my house. Once in my room, I hide under the blankets, get into the fetal position and start to cry.

My best friend, no my sister....is pregnant and gone.
