Bestfriends In Trouble

Chapter Five

CHAPTER FIVE

Eleanor's POV

"We have nothing to talk about." Ken said. He looked so devastated. Maybe because Brittany just dumped him.

"Yes we have." Grace said, "Dude, you made El pregnant! Maybe if you just stop acting like an asshole and just think about El for a while and-"

"Shut up!" Ken cut her off, "Do you think I don't even think of El? For your information I can't even stop thinking of her! I don't even know what I truly feel! I am so confused and fucked up." His voice seemed to fade. "I know I love Brittany because she's my girlfriend, but Eleanor's my bestfriend, how could I love anybody else more than I love her?" Then, Ken looked at me.

My heart skipped a beat. I am trying my best not to shed any tears.

"Please guys, just give me some time. This is hard for me too." He said and got into his car. And whoosh. He was gone.

I just acted like nothing happened. I stayed silent. We went to Feight's place.

My friends, they comforted me and cheered me up. We slept there.

I just couldn't believe of what Ken had said earlier. He loved me. Of course I was his bestfriend but I never knew he loved me more than his girlfriend.

I know it was also hard for him. But he didn't have to be a jerk about it. Maybe I should just give him some time. We still have a lot to face because of this trouble we currently facing. But we have to be together.

A week had past, Ken hasn't been in school. I have no idea where he is. Everybody talks about his absence. When I bumped with Brittany, she just rolled her eyes and ignored me. But there was something in her that wanted to grab my hair and bang my head on the wall. I just could feel it.

I tried calling Ken but my calls always direct to his voicemail which annoyed me all the time.

I haven't told my parents yet, but I guess they're getting suspicious.

I eat a lot now.

And have some mood swings.

One time, Gail asked me if I could draw her a balloon and she would color it, but I said no and told her she wasn't a kindergarten and just go and get a life. She instantly pouted her lips.

I mean seriously? We were seniors. Maybe Gail was just too dumb to realize it. Or maybe she just really have to be in kindergarten again. I don't know.

On my way home, I decided to tell my parents. I know they would be upset, mad, and angry. But they're my parents. I need them. I need them to know.

For our dinner tonight, Mum cooked my favorite, lasagna.

My parents are a happy couple. They only fight over some articles in news paper or google. For me, they symbolize true love.

After we prayed for the food, they started talking about the president of another country which I never thought existed.

"Mum, Dad," I said trying to get they're attention but they didn't response or even looked at me. And that's what I hate about me, sometimes, They ignore me. Like the world just revolves around the two of them. "Mum, Dad. I'm pregnant"

Then both of them looked at me.

"I'm sorry honey, but what did you just say?" Mom asked

"I'm pregnant" I wore a straight face, didn't even blink.

"That's not a good joke Ellie." Mom said. "Tell us you're just kidding."

"I'm sorry Mom, but I'm not."

"Then, go pack your things and get out of my house." Dad said.

Of course I expected this. I even packed half of my things just in case.

But I still didn't move a bit.

"I said get out!" Dad shouted.

I looked at him, "I knew you guys would react like this. I'm sorry okay? But I don't think we could change something about it." I stood up from my seat, not even touching my food. Then I ran upstairs.

I didn't cry. Not even a single tear. I think I ran out of tears already.

I packed my things and called Grace.

We already planned this. She said when my parents kicked me out, I would stay at her place.

And yeah, she already had an apartment which would fit the five of us. Her parents gave it to her when she turned 18 so she could start living the independent life. It was what she wanted anyways.

Her phone rung. Then after 5 rings, I thought she wouldn't answer. But she picked up.

"Grace," I said, "I'm going there."

"Sure, you know you're always welcome."

"Thanks. See ya."

Then we hung up.

When I was done packing my stuff, someone knocked on my door.

"El?" My called.

But I didn't answer. Yet, she came in. It's her house.

"Why did you do this El?" Mom asked.

I just shrugged.

"Who's the father?"

Then tears started to stream down my face.

"Is it your last boyfriend? Ian?" her voice was soft.

I shook my head and sat on my bed. She sat beside me an held my hand.

"Who?"

"K-Ken." I said.

I didn't know what her face looked like after I told her the name.

"Why him?" She asked. And got up. "Mom please don't. I'm leaving okay?"

"You're not going anywhere and I have to talk to that guy!"

"Mom you don't have to." I protested.

"Did you tell him about this?" she asked.

"Of course."

"So hat did he do?"

"Nothing Mom. I don't even know if he cares enough."

"What's wrong with him?"

"He had a girlfriend when we did it." I said, "He was left broken afterwards."

"So why did you do it?"

"I don't know Mom. Please stop asking. I'm leaving."

I stood up and Mom said, "You're not going anywhere Eleanor."

"Dad just kicked me out!"

"Watch your tone kid. Come with me. We're going to talk to his parents together with your dad."

Then she left my room. Just like that.
