Are We Normal Yet?

~Chapter 25~

*Sky's pov*

I'm standing next to the coffee table, Jaeden walks in and sits on the sofa. He don't look at me.

Sky: Are you gonna tell me what's going on?

Jaeden: No.

Sky: Why not? Is Emma okay?

Jaeden: (scoffs) Only five minutes ago, you were being horrid to her.

Sky: Hey! I said I was sorry! Once she left the room, I thought she was crying and I realised I might had gone too far.

Jaeden: You did.

Sky: Jaeden look at me, for fuck sake!

He looks up at me - with a grim look on his face.

Sky: You tell me what's going on! And by the way, you've got noticeable hickeys on your neck.

Jaeden: Gee thanks, I totally didn't notice them myself while I was in the bathroom.

Sky: Okay what is up with you? I said sorry! I know it don't make what I said acceptable, but nobody is perfect. I just wanna help.

Jaeden: Listen Sky, my head is pounding, my back stings, I feel like I'm not gonna be able to stomach food. I'm really not in the mood, so if you want to help, you can do me a favour by getting a glass of water and two paracetamol.

Sky: Yeah, of course.

I head into the kitchen, filling a glass up with water and getting the tablets out.

It suddenly hits me.

Sky: Oh.

I walk back in and place the water and tablets on the coffee table. Jaeden has his head in his hands.

Sky: You didn't use protection, did you?

Jaeden: (looks up at me) No.

Sky: (sits down next to me) Honestly Jae, don't start worrying. There's no way there's a baby inside of her right now. It don't work like that.

Jaeden: Yeah, I know, but doesn't mean it's not all in the process of slowly becoming one.

Sky: Look, I'm no expert, but some people get lucky. Some don't get caught.

Jaeden: (gives me a look) Oh sure. Sounds likely. (swallows the tablets and water)

He then stands up.

Sky: Why exactly are you going to the chemist? A test won't tell you anything THIS early.

Jaeden: Em is not getting a test. She's after that morning-after pill. Whatever it's called.

Sky: Oh. That's good Jae, really good. As long as it's taken within, I think, 72 hours after..y'know, it should definitely work. Do you want me to go with her?

Jaeden: I'm taking her.

Sky: But you're hung over, driving wouldn't be sensible.

Jaeden: Sky, I appreciate the concern, but this is mine and Em's problem. If anyone should be taking her, it's me. Besides, I don't think you're her most favourite person right now.

Sky: Mhm, true that. Well, is there anything I can do?

Jaeden: Yeah, find her phone.

He leaves.
