A Change In Me

three

We're at my house just talking mostly just me and Ginny talking but they're also here. The front door bursts open. It's my boyfriend, Cole. "Hermione, I need to talk to you."

"I'm listening."

"Not here."

"Okay, I'll be back." We go in the other room. "What's up?"

"Please don't hate me."

"What did you do?"

"So I kind of went over to Elise's. To find you, I thought maybe you would be there. I checked here but you weren't here, I figured you went to drop her off." He takes a very deep breath. "So this man, that I have never met, opens the door. I thought I had the wrong house, but I was pretty positive that it was. So I asked if you and or Cami was there, and said you were supposed to be bringing her to her grandmas. After I said that, he was like grandma? Who's Cami? Then I respectfully responded with a Hermione's daughter. Then he pieced the whole grandma thing together and I kinda told Adam that he's a dad?" He says.

"What the fuck is wrong with you."

"A lot of things."

"Cole, that was my biggest secret and he was the only person I was keeping it from. How could you be so stupid." 

"It was an accident. Please forgive me."

"COLE! I CAN'T JUST FORGIVE YOU THAT EASILY. YOU RUINED MY LIFE."

"HOW DID THIS RUIN YOUR LIFE? PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME."

"AS LONG AS HE KNOWS HE WILL MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO KEEP THIS FROM HER!"

"IT WAS AN ACCIDENT."

"What the fuck." I leave the room. I start getting a phone call. It's from Elise. "Are you fucking kidding me, Cole."

"It was an accident!"

"I don't care!" I said. "I can't look at you right now. Please just leave."

"Fine." He leaves and I answer the phone.

E: Hey Hermione!

H: Hi! What's up?

E: I don't know if your boyfriend told you-

H: He did. He definitely told me.

E: Okay, how are you.

H: I'm mad. Why are you calling.

E: Well, he kind of wants to talk to you, and I told him that you might not want to but I would ask.

H: It's fine.

E: Okay, I'll put him on the phone.

H: Okay.

A: Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?

H: What kind of question is that? 

A: I have a right here Hermione!

H: No, you don't! You have absolutely no right. 

A: Why not! Just because I'm in prison?

H: No! Because of how you got into prison.

A: How was that.

H: You raped me, Adam. You know that. That's how I got fucking pregnant. And that's exactly why I didn't tell you.

A: I-

I hang up before he can say anything.

"That's how you got pregnant?" Blaise says.

"Yes." I run upstairs to my room.
