Gone in an Instant
Chapter One
I ran a hand through my short blond hair, trying to deny what was right in front of me. You stood there hands fidgeting nervously with the hem of your shirt, your eyes taking on a shiny sheen at my continued silence. You shuffle your feet awkwardly before breaking the tense silence that had entered my small apartment.
"I'm sorry…" you whispered, your voice cracking slightly. You gave me one last, your eyes revealing the pain you were trying to hide, before walking past me and out the door.
Silence claimed the air after the door closed after your retreating back. I hadn't tried to stop you. How could I? I didn't even know if what you had told me was true. How could I accept it? How was I supposed to accept it?
The truth was I couldn't. I couldn't accept that my rival turned best friend was pregnant…with my child.
