Loving Lylah

Chapter 35

Lylah

It'd been 3 days since my last breakdown. Since I last cried. Surprisingly, I felt so much better lately. Blair and I had a very long and very deep conversation that day, which ended with us watching Magic Mike and having a sleepover with Chelsea.

Those girls really were my life line.

In the last few days, I took on a different perspective. I stopped moping and got my shit together. Blair was right. I didn't lose him, he lost me. I shouldn't let it affect me so bad.

School was the same. It felt different but, it wasn't bad. The guys were constantly hovering over me, cracking jokes and being so overprotective it got quiet annoying. But I knew they meant the best. V had been my rock through the whole turmoil. He'd seen me break and he'd seen me get up and fix myself. He and Blair were the main reason why I wasn't letting myself crack. Despite the fact that Jimin was his best friend, he was still pissed at him due to his actions and didn't bother checking his whereabouts. Though, I know, he was secretly itching to talk to his best friend.

Sometimes, seeing Suga and Blair would make me sad. But then I'd feel foolish for even being that way. My best friend was happy and I was happy for her.

Friday morning, I drove over to Sofia's to help her out with her problem. She'd been getting sick lately and she called me up, panicking and saying she was late. So I picked up some pregnancy tests for her and told her I was on my way.

"So..?" I asked as I sat on her bed while she sat on the toilet seat, chewing her nails while staring at the test on her hand.

"It's gonna take a few minutes" she numbered nervously.

A few minutes had gone by and I bounced my leg, in anxiousness. "Sofia?"

"Jesus, give it time. And will you quit that?" She snapped at me and I instantly stopped shaking my leg.

A few seconds later, she let out a loud gasp. "Oh my god." Her voice trembled and she stood up and walked into the bedroom.

"Soph?" I called out gently as I stepped towards her and gently pried the test away from her tight grip.

Sofia let out a choked sob as she clung onto me while I stood there, gaping at the results.

It was positive.

After, finally getting Sofia to sleep, I drove back to my apartment. The reality of the situation not quiet setting in yet. My cousin was going to be a mother. Holy crap. My eyes narrowed on their own as I thought about the baby's father. That douchebag added to her grievances even without his presence.

I sighed to myself as I parked the car and walked to my apartment, a headache already in the making as I stressed over what we were gonna do.

I stopped in my tracks as I spotted the person leaning against my door.

His tall frame seemed to fill the entire pathway. Blue hair, disheveled and brown eyes so tired and dead, yet so enchanting. He always had a way of looking effortlessly beautiful.

My heart came to a stop before lurching against my chest.

He moved forward to reduce the few feet between us but I took an involuntary step back. It didn't go unnoticed by him and he looked as if I'd killed his dog.

"Jimin." I was so proud of myself for not letting my voice waver.

"Lylah..." he muttered my name in an anguished voice.
