Later that night, Liam drive to Amy's house and give a knock on the door and the door opened to reveal Lauren at the door.
"What do you want Liam?" she asked.
"Are your parents home?" he ask her back.
"Nope,"
"Where they went?"
"Dinner,"
"Why are you asking about my parents, what's your real intention Booker?" she asks.
"I'm looking for Amy," he replied.
"What so you can, cheat on Karma behind her back with her?" she said with her bitchy tone.
"Wait, what?"
"I know about you and Amy. That you slept with her at the night of our parents wedding. I saw you,"
"I'm not cheating on Karma, it's complicated. Can I see her please?"
"She doesn't want to see anyone, she even did not have her dinner tonight,"
"Please, Lauren, this is important, please,"
"Okay fine, but if she's mad, it's not my fault. Got it? What's in the paper bag?" she asked.
"Something for her,"
"Yeah, what is it?" she was curious.
"It's food," Liam lied and run upstairs and into Amy's room.
"What the hell you're doing here?" Amy asked as she got up and sit on her bed. She was lying in her bed staring at the ceiling before Liam unexpectedly barged into her room.
"I need something to talk to you about," he said as he closed the door.
"There's nothing to talk about Liam, you can't be in my room."
"Sonia told me," Liam said. Amy froze and she took a deep breath before she told him to get out.
"Get out, Liam, I'm begging you."
"We need to talk about this,"
"Get out!" Amy throws one of her pillows at him and he dodged it.
"Please don't go mental on me again," Liam beg. And he sat next to Amy on her bed.
"What do you want Liam?" she asked.
"You know that you're not in this alone right?"
"What are you talking about, Liam? I'm exhausted, I need to go to bed early."
"I need you to take these tests to be sure," he hands her the paper bag and she took it and only to see a few pregnancy tests in it. Amy then threw the paper bag on the floor.
"I'm not pregnant! Whatever Sonia said to you, I know that I'm not," she try to convince him.
"Then, why won't you just take the goddamn test? If you really not, you shouldn't be scared to take it."
"Liam, please, I cannot handle this right now," she eyed started to get blurry with tears. She was an inch into crying.
"Amy, whatever it is, I'm here. I'm not gonna fuck this thing up like my family. I promise not to bail on you," he said as he grabbed her hand and squeeze it.
"Fine," Amy wiped her tears and took the tests on the floor and went into the bathroom.
"Are you done?" Liam asked after she's been in there the second round. The two first test she took, she put it back into the box, because she wanted to look at all of the tests all at once. Then, she go get a big bottle of mineral water and drank and wait for her to pee for that second time. And she also put it back into the box.
"Have some patience. Gosh!" she open the door and get out of the bathroom. She hand the boxes to Liam and sit on her bed.
"You want me to look at it?" he asked.
"Yeah, because I can't." Amy replied.
Liam then paces back and forth in her room, too scared to take out the tests from the box.
"Gosh, Liam, you're making me nauseous, pacing-"
"Can you not say something like nauseous, are you really nauseous? Or it's just an expression?" Liam asked.
"Just take out one of the tests and just look at it!" Amy was getting annoyed because she really does feel nauseous seeing Liam like that.
"Why are you putting the pressure on me? You peed on it, you should check," he said.
"Okay fine, just gimme the box," Amy said it like she's trying to control herself from bursting into tears.
"No, it's okay, I'll check," Liam feels guilty that Amy in that state and he should be the on that understand what she is about to go through if she is pregnant.
"Liam, just give it to me," Amy tried to pull the box from his hands. And Liam started to pull it from her hands. They were struggling with the box, that it fell on the floor, and all the tests dropped on the floor.
"OHMYGOD," they both said.
Amy was laying on her bed under her covers, crying. It has been an hour she's crying under there. She refuses to talk or look at Liam.
"Amy, you need to stop crying, it been an hour," he said with guilt piling up in him.
"It was only a one-time thing," she said under her covers.
"Amy, can you please talk to me, we need to talk about this," he sat next to her and pull her covers, to reveal her face, red and wet crying under the covers.
"What is it to talk about? Huh? I slept with my soulmate's boyfriend and the worst part is that I'm knocked up!"
"We did not expect this would happen, I love her too. It was a mistake but what can we do?"
"I'm getting an abortion," Amy said.
"Wait, what? No, you can't!" disagree with her decision.
"Why? You said it was a mistake. If I just get an abortion, everything will go back to normal, like this never happened. It's the only choice." She explained.
"You know what I can't do? Knowing that I let somebody kill my kid, it will haunt me forever. What if my mom decided to kill me when she was sixteen, that would be sad. I wouldn't even exist and I would never know art and acknowledge how amazing it is."
"That's you Liam, not me. I can't do this, it's our child, I have the rights. This is my body, I am going to carry it for the next what, seven months. Then what happen next? Give it for adoption? Carrying it for nine months and give it away? That's not happening, or the other choice, keep it. Are you even ready for the responsibility Liam? Do you think that your family and my family will be on board with this? I don't think so." Amy is scared and depressed about it. He can sense it in her voice, she left him speechless.
"Okay, fine. Do whatever you want. Tell me when you're going to get rid of it. The least I can do is take you there."
"Thank you, for understanding my decision,"
"Yeah sure. I better get going, it's already late."
"Wait, can you wait until my parents are asleep? They probably are mad knowing that you've been in my room all this time,"
"What about Lauren? She knows I'm here,"
"She won't tell, trust me. I'll explain to her tomorrow. Not about the pregnancy thing, about how you need to wait until my parents are asleep to get out of the house."
"What are you going to tell Lauren if she asks you what I'm doing in your room?" he asked.
"I'll tell her that, we were discussing homework or something. I'll settle with her later," Amy said.
"Okay.,"
Liam waited until 2 for her parents to go to bed. He could go out from her window, but he could not bear jumping from her bedroom window. The last time he did that, got him a few bruises. Amy was fast asleep due to her crying. She literally cried herself to sleep and he felt bad. He sat next to where she was sleeping and smooth his hands on her tummy where the baby would be and he whispered.
"I'm sorry that we have to kill you but, I just want you to know, that I already love you," Liam is a bit sad about the abortion. He was against killing, especially his own kid but it wasn't his choice to make. Liam love kids and it kills him to know that they are getting rid one his own. Then Liam got out of Amy's room and slowly went down the stairs and he was shocked to see Lauren in the kitchen.
"Gosh, you scared me," Liam said.
"I hope she gets her 'Food' that you bring her, whatever it is,"
"Yeah, she loves it,"
"She loves it huh? I never thought she would love it,"
"Ummm, I better get going," he changes the topic.
"What are doing in Amy's room this long?" Lauren asks.
"We did nothing, just talk and discuss stuff, Amy told me to wait until your parents are asleep before leaving," he explained.
"What stuff are you guys discussing about?"
"Stuff."
"Hmm, okay. I don't know what you and Amy are keeping, but I'll found out about it eventually."
"Okay," Liam was nervous being around Lauren. She gives him chills with her bitchiness.
"Hurry up, get out, so I can lock the door." she said.
"Oh okay,"
The next morning, Amy was brushing her teeth and Lauren come into the bathroom and make that face like she was about to ask her something.
"What do you want Lauren?" Amy asked.
"About last night,"
"What about last night?"
"What was Liam Booker doing in your room until late night? Are you guys having sex again?"
"No! I would never do that to Karma, we were just talking, and discuss things, about school."Amy explained.
"Yeah, talk about school with Liam Booker. Wow, very realistic that is," she said. "And how's the food?"
"The one Liam bring in the paper bag," she can sense that it was not the food he was bringing and Amy is about to lie to her.
"Oh, that. It was just pastry," Amy lied.
"Oh okay, then, it's interesting that your lying ability is improving." and Lauren left.
Amy look herself in the mirror, and all she see was a mess and it makes her want to skip school and cry all day in her bed.
"Don't cry Amy, don't cry. It's okay. It's going to be over and everything is going back to normal. Stay strong," she tells herself in the mirror.
