blindness ❁ irwin a.u

chapter 2.

After bumping into at least three more people, she arrives at the café where Lauren has already taken her place.

"You're late bitch." she laughs. Ariel gives her a sad face. "I'm sorry, the park was so crowdy."

She takes off her coat and takes the seat next to Lauren, while ordering a cola. "So what was it what you wanted to tell me?" she asks curious. Lauren bends her head a bit down, quite ashamed to tell her best friend what's going on.

"Well to be honest I had sex and it didn't work out very well." she whispers. "Holy fuck you have aids?" Ariel screams. Two elder men are looking at us in disgust, probably hearing where they were talking about. "What the fuck no I'm pregnant." she replies quickly, causing Ariel to open her mouth, not sure what or how to respond.

"How is your boyfriend dealing with it?"

"Well he broke up with me, but that's just because-" Lauren didn't finish her sentence because her phone is ringing. "Be right back, I need to pick up this one." she walks outside leaving Ariel alone.

Still shocked about what her friend just told her. How can she get pregnant? She didn't even know Lauren and her boyfriend already had sex. Actually she knows nothing about her boyfriend. She never tells something about him. She doesn't even know his name. But he must be a dick that he set her up like this.

Ariel is deep in thoughts when the waitress puts down a glass with coca cola, giving her a nod as a thank you. She looks around, and sees that Lauren is having a pretty steamy phone call.

When Lauren is after two minutes still not done with calling, Ariel decides to text her best friend Michael.

To: Mikey♡

From: Ariel

Hey Mike, fancy to hang out tonight? I'm so bored :( xx

Not long after she sent the text Michael answers.

To: Mermaidkid

From: Michael

Sounds fun to me! See you tonight at mine, parents are out :-)

She puts her cellphone back into her bag and sees that Lauren is coming her way to her again.

"I need to go Ari, my mom needs to take me to the hospital or something." her voice sounds annoyed, what she probably is according to her face. She picks up her bag and waves Ariel goodbye, leaving her with the bill.

"Thank you for making me pay your shit bitch!" she yells after her, receiving 'the finger'.

When she paid the check she left the cafe and made her way to her home. She stumbles on the path, leaving two children who walked passed her laughing really loud. "Don't laugh." she pouts and walks further.

When she's almost home she sees a big truck, figuring out that there are new people here. She looks at the house, seeing the front door is open. A boy with a beanie and dark brown hair walks out the house looking after him.

"Come on Ash, you need to help me carrying these last boxes." he yells inside. He walks to the truck, followed by another boy, but stops walking when he sees Ariel.

"Hello, I'm Calum, we're new here." he smiles, reaching his hand to Ariel. "Hey welcome! I'm Ariel, I'm not new here." she laughs, making Calum chuckle. He looks around, seeing that Ashton is not sure where to walk to. He guides him to Ariel, who is surprised to see him.

"Hey you're the guy I bumped into!"

"Uh hello." he mumbles, feeling kind of awkward being guided by Calum. "I'm sorry tho, I was in a rush and my friend would've killed me if I was any later." she laughs. Ashton let out a small fake smile, acting like he was completely cool.

"Soooo where are your parents?" she asks, seeing that Ashton is not in the mood to talk about today. "We actually live together, Ash here is 20 and I am 18." he informs.

"Well that's really cool! My parents would never allow me to live on my own or with a friend." she rolls with her eyes, but comes up with an idea. "Hey would you like to join me and my friend Michael tonight? We're hanging out because we're losers." she laughs hard while thinking about the time that Michael sneaked in to her house at night with the spare key. He took a package of hair dye because she wanted to dye her hair but never had the courage to. Since Michael dyes his hair every two weeks he knew what he was doing.

"That would be cool! I think we'll come over." Calum smiles poking Ashton who stiffened by the touch. "Well, can I have your number then? So I can text you the address." she looks at Ashton, who didn't know that she was looking at him. Calum sees this and quickly answers "Well I don't have a cellphone at the moment, but Ash does!"

They exchange numbers and they wave each other goodbye. Ariel walks out of the street to their apartment. She presses the lift button and waits till she's at her floor. She grabs her keys and opens up the front door.

"Is that you Ari?" her mom yells out of the kitchen. "It's me!" she yells back smiling. Every time she gets home it's the same story. Her mother yells, she dumps her coat, her mom asks how her day was and they cook together. Her father always comes home late and her brother doesn't bother to come help because he's too busy playing fifa.

Ariel makes her way into the kitchen where her mom already started cooking. "Lauren's mother just called, I heard the news." she says. "I hope you're smart enough to use a condom when you're ready. Well actually don't have sex till your twenty or something." her stern voice makes Ariel roll her eyes.

"Believe me, I'm not planning to do it for a long time." she says leaving the kitchen, done with this awkward conversation. When she let herself fall on the couch she remembers to text Michael that she brings Calum and Ashton.

"Mom I'm going to Michael tonight, I don't think I'm coming home tonight. I don't have to work tomorrow so yeah."

"Okay, but you're eating here right?"

"Yep."

After dinner she decided to quickly take a shower, because she noticed she didn't smell that good. The water flows against her skin and she's putting some shampoo in her hair, cause she thinks it smells nice and Michael likes it. When she's about to wash it out, cold water flushes against her skin.

She screams loudly and hears her brother laugh. "You dickhead! Fuck off!"

The warm water starts to flow again and her body relaxes again.

She turns off the shower and picks up the towel and her phone. She sees she has a text from Michael.
