FWB you can count on me

Chapter 9

 Cara’s pov:

 “Cara, food is ready.”

 “Coming mum!” Come on Cara this is the perfect time to tell her. I have to tell her! She carried me for 9 months and went through labour pains, she deserves to know who I’m sleeping with, especially if it’s my best friend.

 ‘At the dining table’

 Silence.

 “How is school?”

 “I’m doing great, how is work?”

 “Fine.”

 Silence.

 “How’s that friends of yours, Luke?” I swallowed the lump that had suddenly appeared in my throat. Here it was; the big question. Usually I would just automatically say ‘he’s fine’ but this time I actually have a comment. I rubbed my hands on my face and it was all sticky and wet.im sweating! What the hell, Cara.

 “Cara?”

 “Oh, he’s fine, in fact he is doing brilliantly,” I replied almost immediately. A bit too immediate. I can’t tell her, I can just imagine her reaction and trust me it’s not good. I decided to call Luke.

 'Calling Luke’

 Ring.Ring.Ring.

 “Hello.”

 “Hey Luke.”

 “Hi cara, what’s up?”

 “How did it go with your mum?”

“Oh, she already knew about it but she was cool about it as long as its safe sex.how about yours?”

 “Erm…well she took it well…”

 “You haven’t told her have you?”

 “No, I’m scared Luke; my mum isn’t like yours.”

 "Cara, you have to start facing your fears I know you can do it because I believe in you.”

 "Wow, thanks for the advice, the person that I’m sleeping with.”

 “I was your best friend first, now get off the phone and go and talk to your mother.”

 Beep.

 'Talking to mum’

 I stood outside my mum’s bedroom door for a couple of minutes till I finally gained the courage to knock.

 Knock. Knock.

 “Come in.” I walked in, wearing my pyjamas and funky dinosaur slippers.

 “I couldn’t sleep, I just had to free this from my mind.”

 “What is it?”

 “Well for the past couple of weeks well I have been sleeping with someone.”

 “Oh my Jesus Cara, are you safe? Who is it? Do I know him? Do you want to marry him?”

 “I’m sleeping with Luke.”

 “Luke as in your best friend?”

 “Yes.” Then she slapped me, across the face. I didn’t even need to look in the mirror to know my cheek was bright red with pain.

 “How can he still call you his best friend, such a slut?” she pushed me out the door and slammed the door in my face. It was a better reaction then I was expecting so I give this project a thumbs up. I was just about to walk into my room when I heard sobbing coming from my mum’s room. Any normal daughter would have gone in to comfort her but I didn’t.

 That’s how I felt every hour I spent in this house. I can officially say I believe in karma now.

'Texting Luke on my bed’

 ME: told the parental.

 LUKE: what did she say?

 ME: well she slapped me then called me a slut

 LUKE: well that went better than expected, right? How do you feel now you’ve got it off your chest?

 ME:*sighing* So much better.thnx Luke.

 LUKE: what are best friends for?

 ME: even the ones you’re sleeping with

 LUKE: yep even those.

That message alone assured me that nothing can spoil me and Luke’s friendship.

Nothing at all.
