Lust and Lies

Business Trip

Kristen Pov

I woke up to the sound of my alarm, dreading the day. I laid in bed and messed around on my phone for a few minutes. After, I finally got up and got ready. A half hour later I walked downstairs and put on my checkered Vans. I walked out of the house and got in my car. I eventually pulled out after a few minutes and went down the street.

I pulled into the Dunkin' Donuts parking lot and pulled out my phone to text Courtney, she had been my best friend since third grade.

Court ❤️

Me- what do u want from dunkin?
Court- can you get me a medium frozen hot chocolate?
Me- oooo yes I'll meet you in the cafeteria.

I pulled in the drive thru and ordered two medium frozen hot chocolates and a bag of hash browns.

I walked into school with about thirty minutes before my first class started. I went into the cafeteria and sat down with Courtney and my boyfriend Noah. We rambled about nonsense stuff and things that had nothing to do with us while me and Courtney sipped on our coffees. The first five periods were okay and I was on my way to my favorite class, lunch. I walked in and sat my brown paper bag on the table and waited for Courtney and Noah. Noah came first and Courtney came a few minutes after. Courtney has this thing where she will joke around and say she's Beyoncé and it's the best thing about lunch, well besides the food. We all laugh and joke around with her.

"Move I'm Beyoncé." Courtney says
"No you're nottttt." I said
"Yes I am"
"No"
"Oh come one. You're just jealous. I can't blame you hun."

The rest of lunch we messed around and ate our food.

After school things got real, fast. I locked my car and went inside. My mom was sitting on the couch crying. I looked over into the kitchen and my dad had his hand on his forehead rubbing back and forth.

"What's going on?" I asked sitting next to mom holding her while she cried.
No one said anything for a few minutes.

"I think that your mom and I should get a divorce." He said turning us back to me.
"What, why?"
Again no one answered for a few minutes.

"Remember when your mom went on that business trip to New York?" I nodded. "Well today I find a pregnancy test on the bathroom floor. She slept with her boss and now she's fucking pregnant." My dad spoke now facing me with tears running down his cheeks.
"Twenty years, twenty fucking years. She throws that all away for some dick who will give her a raise."
