Chapter Thirty One

::Kylie's POV::

"Okay Ms. Santiago," the doctor stated. "You're good to go."

I closed my legs and hopped off the table while Dr. Peters took off her disposable gloves and threw them in the trash.

"We'll call you when your blood work comes back," she stated with a friendly smile.

I nodded with an uneasy look on my face. "So everything is okay with me?"

"Well physically, you're in perfect health. You're young, you're fit. Your BMI is just right," she stated.

"But.. I've been feeling weird lately," I said back.

"How?"

"Well for starters, my period hadn't been regular in a few weeks."

"Is there a chance you could be pregnant?" She asked me and my heart began to beat out of my chest. The mere thought of being a teen mom made me want to die. No, no, no. Definitely not that.

"No," I replied simply, trying so hard not to overreact about her even asking me that question. She was my doctor after all.

"That's okay then. You're not done developing yet so there's no need to be worried... Yet."

"Mhmm," I mumbled. "Okay."

"Look, if there's anything wrong with you, which I doubt, it'll pop up in the test results. Give your cycle another week or so and if you're still having problems, give me a call. For now, get dressed. I'll talk to you in a few days," and with that, she was gone.

I listened to what she said and just tried to relax as I made my way to the church. Today was the day of Mr. Alvaro's funeral and I kinda felt weird. I was definitely for attending his funeral initially, but that was before I knew everything that he'd put Tyler through.

Speaking of Tyler, I hadn't talked to him since I'd practically forced him to open up to me almost two days ago. I didn't even know if he was coming to the funeral and now that I knew everything, was I supposed to just let him skip it or encourage him to say his final goodbyes at the event?

I was completely lost and when I pulled into the parking lot with a swarm of people all dressed in black, I was now overwhelmed as well.

I parked in one of the empty spaces and quickly made my way inside. The funeral was supposed to be starting soon and how disrespectful would I look if I walked in late?

There weren't too many people there, but a decent amount. I skimmed the crowd and quickly picked out Levi and Ms. Tompkins. They both sat on the front row, closet to the casket. I continued to look around, hoping to see Tyler but I didn't and unfortunately there wasn't enough time to continue my search for him. The funeral was starting and I was forced to take my seat. I'd managed to pull out my phone really quickly before anyone saw what I was doing.

'Where r u?' I texted Tyler just before the music began to echo through the church.

I walked through the house as the repass continued. People from all over stood around talking about current events, upcoming holidays and even the weather. No one seemed to bring up Mr. Alvaro at all.

I carried a box of tissue to a lady I saw sitting in a corner alone. I held out the box and waited patiently but she didn't take any. She didn't seem sad at all.. No one did actually.

I sat next to her. "How did you know Mr. Alvaro?" I asked politely.

"I was his assistant," she stated bluntly.
