The Path to Love

Chapter 14

I was currently at the waterfall that I love so much. I thought best here, and I needed to escape from the mess my life has become. That dream was continuing to haunt me. I had that dream a week after we had sex and it's been a week since that dream. How could I have been so stupid and not wear a condom? I've always worn a condom; how did I forget this time?

Sam could be pregnant, and the chances of her having a baby, are great. If she was pregnant, now would be the ideal time to find out. The only problem? I don't know what she remembers or doesn't remember.

I don't want to tell her I didn't wear a condom until I know she remembers. I don't want to be the one to tell her we did it. At least I didn't take advantage of her. That probably would have killed me. She asked me to fuck her.

I'm genuinely surprised, I enjoyed having sex with Sam. She was good in bed. I don't know if it's because we were drunk or not, but she was a good lay. I slept with my best friend. How cliché is that? How many novels are there out in the world about the girl falling in love with her best friend and sleeping with him and he falling in love with her? Typical.

I'm not in love with Sam though, right? I can't be in love with my best friend. That would ruin everything. So, not your typical story. "My life could be a best-selling book." I chuckled at my comment.

I tried to think of ways to see if she remembered. I mean, what are the chances she is pregnant? We had sex all night. the chances of it happening on the first time, are slim. But it wasn't just one time. I don't really know how many times I finished inside of her. So, the chances of being pregnant are high. Fuck. It takes a while for a girl to get pregnant. It doesn't happen on the first night. She was on birth control anyways, wasn't she?

No. No she isn't. She didn't have problems with acne or her periods and where she swore off sex, she figured she didn't need it.

Fuck.

This situation is looking dire every way I try to look at it. Every angle I try to spin it, the situation just looks worse.

What would happen if she were pregnant? Would she abort our baby? Would she give it up for adoption? Would she keep it? Would it be so bad if she were though? We are best friends, we could do this.

I'm thinking about possible outcomes for a currently hypothetical situation. Maybe I should talk to Sam about it. I should. When?

I only wanted to know one thing for sure though, would she hate me?

I won the dare. Well one of them, technically.

What would I want if she were pregnant? Would I want the baby? I don't know. We're only kids. We still have our whole lives ahead of us. Would I be able to raise a kid? How would our parents react?

Even my waterfall wasn't helping me today. Nothing could stop the thousands of thoughts that were rushing through my head.

My phone vibrated, and I took it out. It was a message from Sam. It's like she knows when I'm thinking about her.

Sammy❤: Where are you?

Hunter: Out and about.
Why?
Is everything okay?

You never could know with Sam, especially with a possible pregnancy. Plus, she usually message just a 'hey' first. I worry too much about her.

I waited for her response.

Sammy❤: My mom is home. She is treating me like I'm some fragile piece of glass that could break at any moment.

Hunter: Do I need to come save you?

Sammy❤: Please

I chuckled at her response and got up from my ledge. I walked back to my car to go pick up my best friend.

I drove to her house and parked in her driveway. I wanted to go see Katherine anyways. I've been keeping my distance from them because I was afraid Sam knew about our drunken night.

I walked into her house. "Hi, mom two!" I called out.

I don't even know how Sam and I started referring to each other's parents as mom two. It just started happening one day and has stuck ever since.

"Hunter, my boy!" Katherine said, coming to meet me in the porch. She leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. "I missed you so much."

"I missed you too, mom two."

"Come in and sit down with us."

"Actually, I was just coming to pick up Sam. We have a movie date. I bet she forgot about it. You know how she is, mom two." The lie slipped easily from my mouth.

"I didn't know that. Maybe after the movie then, you could come spend some time with your mom two. I haven't seen you in what feels like months."

"For sure," I replied, wrapping my arms around her waist.

"Thank-you so much for taking care of my daughter, Hunter. I don't know how she would have gotten through the last couple of weeks without you." Katherine mumbled into my arm, making sure her daughter didn't overhear.

Oh Katherine, if only you knew how well I took care of your daughter.

"No problem mom two. I love Sam more than anything. I would do anything to protect her." I whispered into her ear. I felt her smile against my arm. She stepped out of the embrace and walked back into the living room. "Sam! Get your ass out here if you wanna go to the movie!" I hollered.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." She replied, walking into the porch.

I instantly looked at her stomach, I didn't see a tiny bump.

Maybe she wasn't pregnant, and I was just stressing myself out and overreacting.

"Thank-youfor saving me from my mother," she whispered as we walked out to the car.
