 Chapter twenty-five

4 months through the pregnancy

8th May

Danielle’s POV

Four weeks.

Thirty three days.

Seven hundred and ninety-two hours.

Forty seven thousand five hundred and twenty minutes.

One month.

However which way you want to put it, but it’s still the same amount of time that I’ve gotten back together with Zack Blakely. I want to think of it as one month instead of the biggest number, because by thinking of the smallest number, in my head, when it comes to Zack Blakely. That’s what he’s always going to be striving for, to be number one, but he’s never going to get it.

An impossible goal that he will never accomplish and will never get to, I pride myself in thinking in this logical way about him. It made him seem like less of a man, a little boy even, someone who is weak and desperate that he has to go through other people to real his goals, and to get what he wants in life.

He’ll soon have to realise that those people won’t always be around, no one live forever. But one can always hope; hope is our saviour. Hope is what keeps us going on, what wakes us up in the morning. And at our school, hope is also known as the girl who likes to skip class and smoke weed with her older gentlemen friends. So there’s probably no saving her.

I stood in the girl’s bathroom in school, sideways in the disabled toilets where there’s a mirror by the sink, peering down at my stomach to have a little look. I had barricaded the door a little and made sure that no one had entered whilst I was examining my belly. I was sixteen weeks pregnant now and I was starting to show as well, this baby wasn’t going to be a little one.

I’d stayed on the pitch as well; a few matches here and there, Coach gave me a talk and told me to rest because she thought that my performance was weaker because of my ankle that I sprained ages ago. If only she knew. My relationships at the moment weren’t the best, I have to admit.

I haven’t told anyone why I got back with Zack, except for Drew, who told me that I should just let Willa tell the Teacher and that he would handle it, he even almost went there himself. But I stopped him; he was the golden child, the number one in the whole school. I couldn’t rip that title away from him by letting him ruin his life by owning up for a big misunderstanding.

Even though he did, kind of, do it. Zack is; the same. He hasn’t changed a bit, not even just a little either. He’s still the conniving, self-centred bastard that I’ve always known and hated. Even though he’s tried to sleep with me on many occasions, I happily declined him on all of the occasions as well, I really don’t want to and it feels almost pressurised as well.

It’s like he wants to tell everyone that I belong to him by sleeping with me at every opportunity. Which is dick move. In other relationship news, Mason and Haliee have finally gotten together, it was a happy happy day, that is until Zack asked me out literally an hour later and then it ruined the feeling of that day.

They’re happy and have just celebrated they’re month anniversary as well, Mason got her a white gold heart pendant and she got him a leather hand crafted watch. If that’s just for a month, I wonder what it’ll be like at Christmas, or birthdays.

And Katie has been trying to shamelessly flirt with Max at every opportunity she gets, if it’s in class, in the hallways or in the most inappropriate places possible. She’ll do it. I wasn’t happy to see it happen, but a smile did creep up onto my face every time he rejected her or he shrugged her off and left her there alone.
