Chapter 20- The Visitor

Annabel's P.O.V

I watched dumbfounded as Jack stormed out of the room.

Maybe he was right.

Maybe I was just being selfish.

Then again,  I could argue that he was being selfish by saying what he said.

I slumped back in my chair, my head in my hands.  I didn't know what to do. 

Before I could dwell any further, there was a loud knock on the door.  I frowned and wandered over to the door, swinging it open carelessly.

In front of me was a head of long, gingerbread - coloured hair, turned away from the door.  Next to their feet was a large black suitcase.

The head turned to me, smiling faintly.

Lucy.

Her slender fingers were clasped together,  a gesture I identified as a reflection of worry.

"Hey, Annabel, " she greeted.

" Lucy, " I whispered.

" That's me," She nodded,  "Aren't you gonna invite me in? "

I stepped aside wordlessly.  She muttered a 'Thank you' as she slid past me. I followed her into the house,  very perplexed.

" What are you doing here? " I asked, as she gazed around the hallway.

" Nice to see you too, " she replied sarcastically.

I laughed half-heartedly. "Sorry.  It's just quite a shock. "

All of a sudden,  she wrapped her arms around my waist and hugged me tightly. I planted a kiss on a her head and stroked her smooth,  auburn hair.

"It's been a long time, " I noted.

She pulled away and smiled widely, creating dimples in her cheeks.

" I've missed you, Sis," she said.

"Missed you more."

" Missed you most," she giggled.

" Lucy? "

I looked up as Jack hurried down the stairs, his frown producing creases on his forehead.

" Hi, Jack."

"What brings you here? " He asked,  pulling her into a friendly embrace.

" Well. I have some news and-"

" So do I," I interrupted. 

I noticed Jack glancing in my direction but I ignored him.  Lucy pursed her lips.

" What's your news? "

I-with a few interjections from Jack- explained what was happening with mum and answered all of Lucy's questions.  I forgot about Lucy's news for a while, so did she, since she was so concerned about mum. But Jack remembered.

" What was your news?" he asked.

She gulped, "I think it's irrelevant."

I knew then and there that she was hiding something.

"I don't think so, Missy. You came all this way for a reason, " I reminded her.

She sighed and sank into a chair,  her hands-once again- clasped together. 

"I've done something very stupid, " she began nervously.

I lowered myself into the chair opposite and started chewing my lip.

" I-I'm, " she stammered.

" Spit it out, Lucy, " I snapped harshly.

" Annabel, " Jack warned.

" No, Jack,  it's fine," she took a deep breath and said, "I'm p-pr-pregnant. "

I could feel the colour draining from my face.  Pregnant. My nineteen year-old sister. Pregnant. Jack, the last one standing,  obviously decided that his legs could no longer hold him and collapsed into the seat next to me.

I looked up at Lucy,  who was watching apprehensively with a single tear rolling down her cheek.

" I thought you were better than that, " I murmured.

She let out a sob and held her head in her hands. 

" I'm sorry, Annabel.  Please don't hate me.  I have nowhere else to go.  My flat mate kicked me out because she doesn't want a baby in the house,  Carl won't speak to me and Melanie's parents are disgusted by me. Please, Annabel,  I need you to stand by me! " She begged in between her sobs.

"It's no wonder Carl's ignoring you, " I muttered.

She gritted her teeth, "I think he should step up and take responsibility. "

" For a baby that isn't his?" I scoffed.

"I- Wait... what?  It's Carl's baby. "

"Oh. So it wasn't a  one night stand with a randomer?"

" No. I'm not that type of girl! " She snapped angrily. 

" Well I'm-"

" Annabel, just shut up," Jack growled.

I turned to him and scowled. Who did he think he was?  Why was he talking to me like this?

I stood and flounced out of the room. Jack needed to realise that if he was keep treating me the way he was,  there would be consequences.  So he could deal with the nineteen year - old with the baby. 

I would deal with the psycho ex-girlfriend (a.k.a Abbey). And he wasn't going to stop me.
