Angel's POV
I tossed around in my bed as my alarm clock went off. I didn't want to get up and face reality. I was hoping that the past couple of days were a dream. I was hoping I wasn't really pregnant. I was hoping that me and Gerand's friendship was still intact. I was hoping that I wasn't seriously catching feelings for someone who wasn't my boyfriend. I don't know when I started developing feelings for zhul. We had known each other for two weeks, most of the time we would argue but I felt something towards him. He had been so sweet to me lately. How I wished that Bobby as more like him…
I got out of bed and stood up. I was so tired. I got about 2 hours asleep because I was up worrying. My stomach soon started turning and I ran straight to the bathroom. I threw up last night dinner into the white porcelain toilet. I rested my head on the seat of the toilet. I was really pregnant. How would my family react to the news? Franz was already trying to impress his family. The elders of his family were ashamed of him because he didn't marry a fellow noble like they had arranged. He instead married a commoner, Mhadz. If they found out I was having a kid out of wedlock, they would blame Franz because he brought me into the family.
I hopped into the shower and cleaned my elf up. I quickly got dressed and looked in the mirror. In a matter of months my small figure will no longer be so slim. I sighed as I touched my stomach. I was scared, actually terrified. I didn't know anything about being a mother. My mother had died when I was born. I pulled out my phone and made a doctor's appointment after school at the Women's clinic. I would have gone to my actual doctor but I was afraid that Franz might find out.
I decided to shake away my thoughts, I grabbed my bag and headed downstairs. Mhadz was at the dining table in her pajamas reading a newspaper. She looked up at me when she realized I entered. "Good morning Angel" She greeted smiling.
"Morning" I mumbled.
"Are you feeling better, I thought I heard you throwing up this morning" She asked.
"I'm fine" I said. I knew I should probably tell Mhadz I was pregnant now, but I wasn't ready for her reaction yet. I needed to know how Bobby felt before I told her. "I'll see you later" I said as I grabbed an apple and left. I walked out my door not even looking up; I was too busy stuffing the apple in my bag to notice and tall figure leaning against my gate.
"Yo!" a male voice. I looked up to see the man who haunted my thoughts all morning.
"Zhul?" I asked pleasantly surprised.
"Yup, hurry up or we won't be able to get everything cleaned up" He said smiling. zhul's smile put an even bigger smile on my face. I nodded and quickly ran to him.
"How are you feeling?" He asked once we were down the street from my house.
"I threw up this morning" I said plainly.
"Did you eat?" He asked.
"I have an apple in my bag" I replied. I hated this conversation, I fuelt like he was babying me. He sighed and brought out a thermal cup and handed it to me.
"What's this?" I said taking it.
"Herbal Tea, I asked my mom to make it. She used to drink it all the time when she was pregnant with lorry and kimberly." He explained. I could feel myself blushing. He was being sweet again, and this was making my knees weak, my palms sweaty and my heart race faster. How did he have such an effect on me. "Thank you" was all I could say. He was truly amazing.
"What's your mom like?" I asked curiously.
"My mom?"
"Yeah, what's she like?" I don't know why I was interested but I wanted to know. She raised a good man.
"Well, she is the glue that holds my family together. She is my hero. She loves her whole family unconditionally and no matter what she always has a huge smile on her face." He said. I could tell he loved his mother. The way he spoke of her was so moving. "She loves to cook, and she loves to sing. She has an amazing voice. I find it hard to believe that my dad is really her husband." He joked. I smiled as he talked about her. I never knew my mother but Mhadz told me great things. I could only hope I could be a good mother too.
zhul and I finally reached the school; he went on to talk about past family memories. I was happy to learn more about zhul. He seemed to really love his family. I liked the sensitive side of him.
We walked into the classroom and put our stuff on our desk.
"Did you tell your family?" He asked.
"No" I mumbled.
"You have to tell them soon"
"I know, but this isn't easy zhul" I don't know if he heard my voice break but he walked up to be and put his hand on my shoulder. "I'm sorry, I don't know what you are going through but I know this is something you need to tell your family about." I looked up at zhul and he gave me a reassuring smile.
"AHEM" a rough voice had joined us. I knew it was Bobby without having to turn and look. Zhul gave me a stern look that meant 'you need to tell him now'. I sighed and turned to see my boyfriend who looked mad as hell.
"Bobby, we need to talk…on the roof" I said to him. He raised his eyebrow and nodded. He left the classroom and I followed behind. Before I left, I turned to zhul who gave me a sad smile. I smiled back and headed to the roof.
Once we got to the roof, Bobby smiled at me. I didn't understand why he was so happy, until he walked closer to me. He pinned me to the wall and kissed on my neck.
"Glad my little punishment is over" He whispered against my neck. I pushed him off me in disgust. He really only had sex on his mind, which is why we were in this situation.
"God! Is that all you think about?" I yelled. "I didn't come up here to have sex, we really need to talk"
"About what, Angel" He growled.
"Look there is no easy way to say this" I started but stopped when Bobby grabbed my shoulders and violently shook me. "There is no way in hell you are breaking up with me" he yelled
I didn't answer, I couldn't, and he was scaring me more than usual. "It's that damn zhul guy" He started. "I don't know if you are messing around with him, but you better understand that you are my girl and I will break his neck."
Hearing him threaten zhul, snapped me out of my scared trance. "Zhul has nothing to do with this!"
"So what the hell is it? Is it Gerand, Andrian, Kent….or are you going gay and messing with Mush" He ranted. He kept going, mention different people I would leave him for, it was to the point where I wanted him to shut up so I exploded. "I'm pregnant, you idiot!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. That was when I saw his face drop.
"What did you just say to me?" He asked with his face still in shock.
"I'm pregnant" I repeated. I looked at him, waiting for his response. We stayed silent for a couple of minutes than he said something that crushed my heart. "Who is the father?"
I could feel sadness come over me then anger boil in my veins. "Are you fucking kidding me" I screamed at him. "You have the nerve to ask me that question"
"Well, with the way you have been throwing yourself at guys, there is only a chance I could be the father" He said. I didn't know what came over me but I raised my hand and slapped him across the face.
"How dare you even accuse me of cheating on you" I said as tears came down my face. "I love you bobby, and this baby inside me, is yours and you need to take responsibility."
"Even if it is mine, I'm too young to be a father and you are too young to be a mother" He snapped back. "Can't you have it taken care of?"
"This baby is yours and I refuse to get an abortion" I said firmly. Bobby gave me a hard look, as if he hated me for ruining his life. He then looked away and headed for the door.
"Where do you think you are going we aren't done with this" I yelled to him. But he ignored me and left me there on the roof alone. I hated him so much, for that. How could he just leave me like that, and to accuse me of cheating was low. I sat on the ground and let my tears fall. Stupid Bobby.
When I noticed from the roof that students were walking in; I wiped up my tears and headed down. I knew zhul would be asking me a million questions, plus my eyes were probably read and puffy. This would mean Adrian and Mush would be questioning me. I decided to skip my classes in the nurse's office.
"I was out yesterday and I thought I was fine but I'm still sick" I lied partially. The nurse nodded and offered me one of the bed towards the back to rest.
Once I touched the bed I could feel the drowsiness taking over me. I got little sleep and now I was carrying for two, I closed my eyes and drifted off, the last thing that was on my mind was orange.
"Please take a seat, Mr.Nunez" I tossed a bit as I heard the nurse talking. I wondered how long I had been sleeping. I looked up to see Gerand. He wasn't facing me, so I guess he didn't see me. He was there with Rhesalyn.
"Sorry for hitting you so hard" Rhesalyn said.
"It's cool" Gerand said shyly. I couldn't see his face but he was probably blushing.
"You need to leave now young lady" the nurse said. Rhesalyn nodded and waved to Gerand before she left. The nurse started searching for supplies while Gerand nervously waited. "Damn out of hydrogen peroxide, better go check the supply room" she said. "I'll be back"
After the nurse left I got out of the bed and made my presence known to Gerand by tapping his shoulder. He turned around and met my eyes. He looked a little relieved to see me then his look turned into anger.
"Where have you been all day?" He asked turning away from my gaze.
"Nurse's office." I could see him tense up; he was worried but didn't want to show it.
"Why?"
"Not much sleep last night" I said. He sighed and shrugged. He was giving up. I knew it was time to tell him. "What time is it" I asked.
Gerand looked at his watch. "3:30" He said. I realized had slept through the whole school day and that I had somewhere to be at 4. I went over to my school bag and found several missed calls and text from Adrian, Mush, Kent, Jenny , and Zhul. All asking if I'm okay and where I had gone to.
I smiled thinking about how much people cared for me. I turned to Gerandwho was trying hard to stay mad at me. "Gerand?" I said sadly. He looked at me with worry as I said that. "I need you to go somewhere with me"
"What do you mean? Where and When?" He asked.
"Don't worry about where, just come now" I said.
"But the nurse has to treat my wound" He said pointing to the red mark on his cheek. "Wow Rhesalyn packs a punch" I teased him. He huffed and looked away.
"I'm kidding, just come with me please" I said looking at him intensely. He nodded when he saw I was serious. We grabbed our stuff and head out the school.
The walk was mostly quiet. I knew Gerand was still mad at me, he finally broke the silence.
"Where are we going Angel ?" He asked trying to figure out the location.
"You'll see" I answered. He sighed and grabbed my arm. He looked at me seriously with a stern face trying to scare me then his expression softened. "I know, I can be annoying, but I'm only trying to protect you. I know you are smart enough to not give yourself another eating disorder, so what is really going on?"
I sighed and decided it was time I told him. It was only fair.
"Gerand, promise me you won't yell at me" I said shaking a bit. He pulled me into a hug and squeezed tight. "I promise" I buried and my head in his chest and said my confession. I knew he probably couldn't hear it. He pulled away. "What?"
"I'm pregnant with Bobby's baby" I said quietly, hoping he wouldn't hear, but when I felt his arms leave me, I knew he heard it. I looked up to see a shocked and angry Gerand.
"Please, you promised not to yell at me" I pleaded. Gerand expression changed to a more concerned one. "Angel, you're pregnant! "You are too young for this" He said trying his best not to raise his voice.
"I know that Gerand, and I'm scared out of my mind"
"You told me, you were on birth control."
"I am, I still don't know how this could have happened."
"Have you seen a doctor?" Gerand asked.
"That's where we are going" I explained. Gerand ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. He clenched his fists the looked at me, I knew what he wanted to ask.
"Does Bobby know?"
"Yes, I told him this morning" I confessed.
"And what did he say?"
"He didn't really give an answer, he walked away before I could finish and-"
"HE DID WHAT?!" Gerand screamed. People were staring at us.
"Gerand could you please calm down" I pleaded.
"No way in hell, am I going to be calm. He needs to man up and take responsibility." He was fuming and I was nervous about how he would react.
"Gerand, please right now, I need you to be my friend, please just calm down and come with me to the doctor's office." My plea almost didn't work but when he saw the sadness in my eyes he finally calmed down. "We will talk about Bobby later. Let's go to the doctor's office."
"Who else knows?"
"You, Bobby and Zhul" I said.
"Zhul?" Gerand asked me dumbfounded. "When did you two become so close?"
"I don't know, but he has been a huge help"
"When are you going to tell Mhadz and Franz?"
"I don't know yet"
"Angel Perez" the nurse called out. Gerand and I were sitting in the waiting room, with other patients. A couple of them were pregnant and some had kids while other looked like they were there for a routine check-up. I stood up and made my way to the nurse. I turned around to see Gerand sitting there nervous. "Come on Gerand"
"Why?!" He asked disgusted.
"I don't wanna be alone" I said sadly. He sighed and grumbled a few curses as he came to accompany me. I smiled at my victory as the nurse lead me into a room.
Gerand and I sat in the room for about ten minutes then the doctor came in. "Hello Ms.Perez, how are you" The doctor asked.
"Fine thank you"
"I am Dr.Santos." She said sweetly. Dr. Santos was a young looking woman with blues eyes and long black hair that was braided in the front. "So, how can I help you today?"
"Well I took a pregnancy test and it said I was pregnant"
"So you want a confirmation?"
"Yes, but I know I am, I just don't understand how I am pregnant. I am on the pill" I said.
"Well let's take a blood test, and then we can figure out what's going on." She said smiling. She extracted a pint of blood then left the room. Gerand sat there nervously. I didn't know what I could talk about with him; I didn't want to say anything that would remind him of Bobby.
Dr.Santos walked in with a chart. "Well Angel , you definitely are pregnant, but you say you were on birth control"
"Yes I was."
"Did you take the pills as directed?"
"Yes"
"Do you drink or smoke?"
"No"
"Do you take any other medicine?"
"N-No" I said a little unsure of myself
"You have never taken another medicine?" she asked me. I thought about it then remembered something.
"Over the summer, I got really sick and my sister gave me some medicine"
"Was it prescription?"
"Yes why?" I said.
"Well certain antibiotics can cancel out the affects of birth control" She stated, I couldn't believe what I was hearing; my sisters medicine was the reason I was pregnant.
"I would guess and say you are about two months" She said. I thought back and my illness was about two months ago.
"I can't believe this" I said. Part of me was hoping that I wasn't really pregnant, that maybe my body was reacting to stress but that wasn't the case.
"We can set up an appointment for an ultrasound next week" She said. Gerand answered "That would be great". She smiled and left the room. I started to sob quietly and Gerand came to hug me. " This can't be happening" I sobbed as he held me.
Normal POV
"That was amazing as usual" Cassandra said panting. Bobby rolled his eyes as he got off her naked body. "You're lying" He said walking over to clothes that were thrown on the floor.
"No, I would never lie to you, I'm serious"
"I know you are, My head isn't in it today, I can't believe I'm actually saying this but I don't feel like having sex" Bobby confessed. Cassandra gave him a puzzled look. "Is everything okay?" Cassandra asked.
"It's nothing" He said. Cassandra was gonna say something again but Bobby's doorbell rang. Bobby's tensed up. He knew he owed Rusty money and if he didn't pay, Rusty would kill him. "Cassandra get in the bathroom now" He said.
"Why?" Cassandra asked, "What's going on?"
"Just get in the bathroom and lock the door, do not come out until I say it's okay" He said seriously. Cassandra nodded and ran into the bathroom. Bobby picked up a wooden bat from under his bed and left his bedroom to answer his door. Bobby looked at the peephole and sighed with relief when he saw his friend at the door. Bobby smiled, dropped the bat and opened the door. "You scared me Demmy" Bobby laughed.
"Did I? You should be. Rusty is not happy with you" Ulquiorra said walking in. He observed that his friend was only wearing boxers.
"Cassandra?" he asked.
"How do you know it's not Angel?"
"Because I haven't seen her with you today and you don't seem to be looking for her." Demmy said then pointed to the uniform on the couch. "And Cassandra bag and clothes are right there"
"Well, everything is little crazy" Bobby replied.
"What is so crazy? You have been cheating on her, and using drugs for months, what is so crazy now?"
"Angel is pregnant" Bobby said. Demmy eyes widened for a second then turned calm. "Are you surprised?" He asked Bobby
"You told me she is on birth control!" Bobby yelled. Bobby had Demmy spy on her on a couple of months ago and Demmy saw her taking it while she was out shopping.
"So what? She could have messed up taking them" he suggested. "You know you are the father"
"I know that" Bobby said. "I can't even have sex because I am worried about Angel and this damn baby. I don't want to be a father; I don't understand why she just won't get an abortion. "
"Well, you must take responsibility" Demmy said sternly.
"I know, I even accused her of cheating because I was damn confused about what I was supposed to do" Bobby said. "I mean, I'm eighteen, I have my football career to think about and I have Rusty up my ass, if I had a kid, that kid would not be safe."
"You actually care about someone other than yourself?" Demmy asked sarcastically.
"Shut up" Bobby grumbled.
"Well I must be going, I guess I'll see you later" Demmy said making his way to the door. He opened the door and said something to Bobby. "Rusty will come after you, and anyone you care about" with that Demmy left. Bobby pulled his hair out in frustration and sat at his dining table trying to figure out what to do about his many situations. Little did he know, Nel was listening to his whole conversation with Demmy. "Poor Bobby" She said to herself clenching her fists.
"Angel, I'm leaving now" Gerand said as he gathered his stuff. They had just had dinner with Mhadz and Franz. Angel walked him to the door. Once she was far away from her family she spoke up. "Thank you for being there" Gerand smiled and put his hand on her shoulder.
"I'm your best friend, you can't get rid of me" He said. Angel smiled. With that he left and Angel made her way upstairs. She was happy that Gerand knew. It made her feel better knowing that she could tell him. She then thought about Bobby. He really hurt her. He was the father and he was acting as if this was something they could walk away from. And . zhul He was surprisingly her savior throughout this whole thing. She then remembered she was supposed to call him back.
"Angel?" Zhul said after one ring. He sounded worried and relieved to get Angel's phone call.
"Hey Zhul"
"What's with the "Hey Zhul", you disappear for the whole day after you go off to see Bobby, I was worried about you idiot!" He yelled. She laughed as he said this. He sounded like a worried mother.
"I'm sorry" Angel chuckled
"You think this is funny?!"
"Yes, I'm sorry, but it's cute when you're worried" I said.
zhul blushed and was so glad they were on the phone for that. "Whatever midget, what happen with Bobby?"
"Nothing" Angel lied,
"Lair" He said.
"A lot happened. I'll tell you tomorrow" she said. "I promise"
"Okay," He said, there was a bit of an awkward silence. "I wanna tell you something"
"What is it?" Angel asked
"It's something, I haven't really told anyone" zhul said nervously. angel was surprised by this. "You don't have to tell me"
"I want to, you have trusted me with something, and you couldn't tell anyone else."
"Okay" angel said. angel's heart was beating fast, what was he gonna say?
"I want to tell you what happen between me and Anica" he breathed.
