"Thea needs to tell you guys something, she got some important news today and she's going to need everyone's support, go ahead Thea it's okay" Avery says taking my hand.
"Okay so remember a month ago when we went to Greyson's party and we all got incredibly drunk and couldn't remember much of what had happened, well I woke up, in Greyson's bed, with him and we had obviously been very drunk and you can probably guess what we did, anyway I hadn't been feeling well so Avery and I went to the doctors and it turns out I'm 3-4 weeks pregnant" I say quickly while looking at my lap, avoiding all eye contact.
"So you're telling me that you slept with our neighbour slash teacher and now you are pregnant with his child, what were you thinking Thea?!, It's one thing making him jealous and having a joke but to jump into bed with him is so stupid, what are you going to do now, do you really think he is going to support you and help you with the baby?, I can't do this right now" Theo says clearly angry and upset.
"I'm sorry Theo, I was drunk, I know I'm stupid but you can't tell me what to do you're my brother not my parent, I don't even know why you're so upset it's my choice and my mistake and I am keeping the baby whether you like it or not!" I yell at him.
"I swear to you Thea if you don't get an abortion I will disown you and never see you again, you'll be all alone in this sick fantasy with our teacher and your baby, oh and don't think you'll be staying here either, you can leave and not come back" Theo screams at me heading for the door.
"Please Theo, I'd never ask you to do something like that if it was you, you're my brother, the only family I have left, please don't make me choose between you and my baby!" I scream back at him with tears streaming down my face.
"It's pretty obvious you have made your mind up, we are done Thea, I never want to see you again"
""Kitten, you're worried about something, and you cannae lie. You're picking at your hands and looking around to clean up my room. Unlucky for you, my room is very clean," he said, "Now what are you worrying about so much?"
I stopped picking at my cuticles. It was kind of weird that he could see me doing something and read me like a book before I could even realize I was doing it. I felt my heart pound in my chest.
"Well, it's just this whole pretending to date you thing," I shrugged, "How far do we have to take it? Do we have to do it in front of our friends? Do we have to do it in public because obviously we ran into Olivia today and we weren't planning on it. Oh shit, what if she sees you with another girl? I mean, what would happen then? What if she sees me talking to another guy? How long is this going to go on? What if we have to kiss in front of Olivia? I mean, it's not that I don't want to kiss you but--" I rambled on nervously.
Iain smirked and walked towards me, and the next thing I knew, his lips were on mine, and we were kissing."
