Same Mistakes *sequel for D.D.*

Chapter 18

"Dear lord, Claire!" Kyle stumbled over to me, completely jet lagged from the long flight.

"You've grown!!!" Kyle laughed as he gave me a big hug.

"How've you been?" I asked as we grabbed his bags and headed out of the airport.

"I've been good. grace was a little mad that I was leaving for god knows how long, but she'll find somebody else to hook up with." He laughed lightly.

"Well that's okay. you've got me. I feel bad that I called out and pulled you away from work." I unlocked my car as he placed his bags in the trunk.

"I work at home so you're fine. I can work while I'm here, Claire, no worries. "

"Oh well that's good to hear. I'm glad you came, its been almost four, five years since I've seen you, Kyle. "

"Well, I would have come to visit more but you know why I haven't so I shouldn't have to explain myself. " He sighed.

"Yeah, I know, I'm just glad that you answered."

"Yeah." Kyle stared out the window and didn't speak the rest of the way.

"Noah?! I'm home." I placed my purse on the table by the door and Kyle placed his bags on the floor.

"I don't know if he's here but I'll just show you to your room. " Kyle nodded and I let him into Madison's room. She wasn't going to be home anytime soon and I honestly wasn't going to call her and bother her on the trip.

"Its a little girly?" Kyle laughed.

"Sorry, its my room mates. She's out of town and she'll be moving out soon. Just make it your home and if you need anything I'll be downstairs making some lunch." I closed the door and felt so weird. This was beyond awkward, what was I thinking? I needed a friend but I didn't have any. Madison was gone And I don't think she was coming back, ever. Jasmine was no longer in England she was back in LA with new roommates or a new guy. Everybody else was living a life and being wild and free, but here I am completely lost and fucking pregnant. This wasn't what I wanted to call fair, staying at home everyday, working a night shift at McDonalds, going to school online and trying to feed myself and the animal inside me.

I'm exhausted and I don't want to be pregnant. I wan to blame everyone but myself but I can't. I got screwed over, like literally.

"You need or want help?" Kyle walked into the kitchen with some clean sweats and a clean shirt.

"Why not. Grab whatever you want, I'm going to call Noah and see when he'll be home." I smiled at Kyle and walked out of the room and hid in the bathroom.

"Claire? " Noah answered, thank god.

"Hey, babe. I was just wondering when you'd be home, Kyle's here and I wanted to go out tonight so you guys could get acquainted. "

"That sounds like fun. I should be home around 4. I'll try to come home a bit earlier but I can't promise."

"That's fine. Just do what you can." I sighed

"Alright, I got to go, I'll call you on my way home, love you." He hung up and I honestly wanted to throw the phone to the ground. I was so mad at everyone. I don't know why I was blaming Noah for what's going on but I felt like maybe it was his and not Louis's. I wouldn't let it be Louis's, it'd ruin his career and mine. I just couldn't handle this anymore. I'm only in my first 3 weeks and I'm already feeling like crap. Kyle said ts common but around your first - third month is when the morning sickness kicks in. I can't wait.

"Claire, are you okay?" Kyle knocked on the door.

I rubbed my face and sighed, "Yeah."

"Okay, well there's some guys at the door, he said he wanted to talk to you and that his name is Louis. " I opened the door and peeked my head out to see Louis at the end of the hallway standing there awkwardly.

"Ugh." I groaned and stood beside Kyle.

"I'm not trying to pry or anything, but is he the other guy?" Kyle whispered as I closed the bathroom door.

"Unfortunately." I felt like crying, screaming and I wanted to throw anything at Louis.

"Claire, I heard about-" Louis walked towards us and I had finally snapped.

"You heard what?! That I got knocked up?!" I wanted to cry.

"No, I- wait, your pregnant!?" Louis face had softened as he stepped forward.

"I thought you knew?" I whispered. I wanted to his behind Kyle and let him answer all of Louis's questions.

"I, no, I came over because I heard about you dropping your job at the school from Noah. "

"Since when do you talk to, Noah?" I wrapped my arms around myself trying to use them as a blanket.

"Since he became your boyfriend."

"So you didn't think once that it was okay to tell me that you were talking to him?" Kyle wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me to his side.

"I didn't think it was that big of a deal, and why are you with some other guy? Are you bored with Noah now?" He chuckled.

"Kyle is my best friend. and my being with someone has nothing to do with you. I'd appreciate it if you would leave." I stepped forward and could feel myself getting ready to punch the life out of him.

" I'm sorry, Claire. I didn't mean to be rude. I'm just a little shocked about you being, pregnant. I, " He sighed and opened the door.

"Call me so we can talk." He closed the door and all was silent until I heard a faint crying. I turned around to see Kyle looking at me with concern. I felt a drop of wetness fall onto my cheek and touched under my eye to notice that I was the one who was crying.
