Violently Icy

Judgement

I stood there shocked and Wynrie had to put a hand to her mouth to stop herself from letting a gasp out, worrying Ryder. I figured he was already starting to get worried and it made my nausea kick in worse. He knocked lightly on the bathroom door and said " Everything good in there?" I began to panic and Wynrie replied," Yeah. Just getting her cleaned up though." He ended up walking away and she said," You have to tell him. Soon, Rhaven." I knew she was right and it made things harder for me.

He'd made it clear he didn't want any kids and I was sure if he knew he'd want nothing to do with me or IT. He'd just leave. She helped me get cleaned up and we left the bathroom and headed back to the kitchen. We sat at the table and I blurted out," I'm pregnant and it's yours." Ryder sat stunned by the announcement. "Guess all the sex we've been having since we met finally caught up to us," he said jokingly. "Aside from not pulling out, of course," he added.

When no one laughed at his jokes, he said," Well, I'm going to work but Rhaven I'll see you after work." He kissed me on the cheek and headed off for work. Wynrie looked at me and said," He took it rather well to be honest. His jokes were a little stale though. It'll work out for you guys, somehow. I just know it." I began laughing and replied," I always said if I died before I had a baby that I would never let it go and never would watch over those who claimed to love me. I would hold a grudge and they will never be able to rest peacefully." I  was serious though, even though I was laughing.

The plan was made at such an early age and I've stayed true to most, if not all, my morals. Wynrie understood where I came from because she and I thought alot alike and we grew up with similar circumstances. She waited up with me until she couldn't stay awake any longer. She headed off to bed and I continued to wait for Ryder to come home from work.

This was for real. I was really pregnant and with my best friend Wynrie. There was a car door shutting and I instantly knew it was Ryder. Or so I thought....

When I opened the door, I found Tate outside my house. "Oh.. I thought you were someone else. Sorry," I said, coldly. "Yeah... I uh heard about what happened to you. Just wanted to make sure you were okay," he replied. Wynrie came down the hallway and to where we were talking and she said," Tate, why are you here?" He began to speak when she interrupted him and said," The REAL reason. It isn't to check on her and we all know it so what could you possibly want?" It was a few moments before he finally answered," I just wanted to apologise for what I did to Rhaven. I was a dick and I shouldn't have driven you to those lengths. I'm sorry. Maybe we could grab dinner together sometime.."

Wynrie walked away from us and I said," Thanks for the offer, really but I can't. I have to start getting things ready around here. And figure out what I'm going to do.." He just looked at me, puzzled, shook his head and said," Well, if you ever have any free time or you just wanna nice breath of fresh air, you know where to find me." I nodded my head at him and replied," Yep. Will do." I closed the door and listened as he walked back to his car and drove away.

I slid down the doorframe and sat on the floor for a moment before Wynrie came back. "Those two are bad luck. I swear," she said.
