The Betrayal

Chapter 37

Chapter 37

Amethyst’s P.O.V

Tears were streaming down my cheeks even as I tried to stop them.

“Why?” I asked Jenna as sobs continued to wrack my body.

“Because it’s life” she said soothingly as she tried to make me feel better. “It’s okay, Mysty. Things will get better.”

“No they won’t!” I cried as I continued to sob. “As soon as they defeat Megatron, he will just come back and keep trying to defeat them. Why can’t he just let them be happy? Why?” I cried angrily. Yes, I was crying over Transformers, but it wasn’t my fault. Seeing all the evil  robots –i.e. Megatron and his followers- kill those poor, innocent humans made me feel depressed.

“It’s okay, Mysty, It’s just a movie.” Jenna tried to explain, but I just glared at her.

“Tell that to those poor, actors’ families!” I continued to sob as I stared at the TV.

“Hey, Mysty?” I heard Amy ask in a soft voice.

“Ye-Yeah…?”I asked her between sobs.

“Do you want some peanut butter ice cream?”

At her words, the tears suddenly stopped and I smiled. “Yes! Yes, please!” I shouted gleefully.

Ice cream. Ice cream! What could possibly be better than ice cream? Nothing!

“Come on, let’s get you some ice cream.” I happily got up and skipped –yes, I literally skipped- to the kitchen all the way from mine and Amy’s room on the second floor.

Once I got there, I growled. Standing there was most of the Pack.  They were all chatting and they  seemed oblivious to me. Well, all except Lucas, Katie, and Liam. Lucas was giving a hesitant smile, which I ignored, and Katie was glaring at me. I smirked at her knowing she was just jealous. Ever since I told Adam about the pregnancy, he hasn’t really talked to her. He wanted to put distance between them before she found out. That wasn’t going to work, though. No matter what he did, Katie is going to feel angry, hurt and betrayed once she found out. And I was going to be there to watch her pain! Possibly with a big bag of popcorn in my hand. Popcorn swimming in butter, maybe some powdered cheese, and pepper! Or maybe just some nachos:? Or possibly-

I stopped myself before I became hungry again. I already ate a big bag of chips, a bowl of regular popcorn, a bag of cookies, and some chocolates. I have to have some control.

I felt a pang of hurt when I saw Liam. I hadn’t seen or talked to Liam ever since I told him about my pregnancy last week. I couldn’t look at him without feeling angry or hurt. Every time I looked at his face, I remembered the way he glared at me as he pushed me against the wall. As he put my baby’s life in danger. And as much as I wanted to hate him for it, I couldn’t. He was one of the first people to show me love and kindness, and no matter what he did, I couldn’t forget that. But that didn’t stop the pain of knowing that he hurt me. Just like almost everybody else has done to me in the past, he hurt me without even hesitating. I wasn’t expecting him to throw a party in celebration, but I never in a million years thought he would be capable of doing what he did. To me, he was the brother I always wanted. The one who would love me and protect me unconditionally. But he isn’t. He is just another person who betrayed my trust.
