Bound By Knots: Chapter 9

APOV

I went into mine and Mary-Lynnette's new room. Just that thought put a smile on my lips. Well it would have if I wasn't so stressed about my parents finding out. It just couldn't happen, that would put Mary-Lynnette in danger.

I pulled off my shirt and jeans. Mary-Lynnette went to the bathroom to change.

Soon we were both in bed, lights off.

"I could get used to this." I said kissing her on the forehead.

"Me too." She said smiling in the dark.

"The glow in the dark ceiling and walls are pretty cool." I said truthfully.

"I love it! Its just like my room at home. My dad laughed at me…"

MPOV

I didn't finish the sentence. Did I really have to say 'my room at home'? Or 'my dad'? I immediately started to sob. Besides Ash I felt completely alone, my dad shunned me from his life, my brother left me here, I felt terrible.

Ash pulled me into his bare arms, holding me tightly. He stroked my hair and let me cry on into the night.

RPOV

I got into bed frustrated. We were in a huge mess. I understood what Ash was saying, and it was true, completely true. I just couldn't figure out what to do! If we told them, they would freak out for sure and tell the council, like Ash said, and then he, Mary-Lynnette and the baby would all be dead.

If we didn't tell them, and they found out the exact same thing would happen! I started to cry because I couldn't figure out any type of conclusion, and it aggravated me.

JPOV

I couldn't help but cry. My soulmate, the one I loved the most didn't want to see me or talk to me. I was being ignored at it hurt! Badly.

I want to see him, and have him hold me and to tell me everything was all right between us.

I cried on but I thought about what Ash had told me two days before.

Don't say that. He will come around. At least back to you. He doesn't need to be mad with anyone other then me. And he loves you more than anything in the world, just give him time. This is a big shock, and he does have to right to be mad.

This did bring comfort but I didn't want him to just come back to me, I wanted him to come back to Mary-Lynnette, I wanted him to forgive Ash, like I had.

KPOV

I could hear three of them crying. Come on seriously? Tears never solved anything, ever. That's what I've learn though my years.

Yeah, I guess you could say I cared, I mean if dad found out, hell would break lose. And I didn't want that to happen, but things wouldn't be so bad if he didn't.

Even though I won't admit it, having a nephew or niece would be pretty cool, I could teach them how to pull great pranks and how to do bad things with out anyone knowing. Like an apprentice.

I fell asleep with an evil grin.

MPOV

I was laying on the futon in Bens room. On my back with my head on arms.

"So? You going to tell my why you flipped out at the dinner? I mean I know you two fight, be seriously? What's up?"

I didn't answer Ben, I didn't want to talk about it. It wasn't any of his business anyways.

Ben spoke again, this time softer, "Hey bro, you know you can tell me anything."

I did know that, Ben had been my best friend since we were kids. When I met Jade, I told him all about her, how could I not?

Thinking back to Jade, and how I treated her, god I felt like a dick! What the hell was my problem! She didn't do anything, she was just trying to help, like her usually self.

She was just trying to be a sister.

I thought a moment. "You can't tell anyone."

"I swear man, what's on your mind?"

"Mary-Lynnette is pregnant."

"NO WAY!"

I nodded, I didn't want to look at his face, I was still mad.

"Ash no doubt."

"Yep." I was getting madder.

"So why aren't you talking to her?"

"I don't know who she is anymore! What should I care!"

"Hell no! We have been best friends forever, and so I'm going to tell you straight up you can't just stay mad and ignore her! No way! You better get your butt up and talk to her! If you feel how you feel image how she feels! Your not the one pregnant! And you know what? She needs you."

I let his words sink in, they were all true. "Mark, please. Please don't leave me. I need you."

Those were the last words she said to me.

"You think she will forgive me?"

"Bro, you gotta go talk to her."

"Thanks man."

"Anytime."

"How did the old man take it?"

"I haven't been home, I don't know."

"Well good luck to you all." He said sincerely.

"Wanna watch Texas Chain Saw Massacre?"

"Yeah!" Ben got up to go get the DVD, he was a good friend, he made me realize what I needed to do, and dropped the subject so we weren't lingering on it.

I had said a lot of mean things, to my soulmate, and my sister.

Tomorrow I would do something about it.

BPOV

Mark was a good guy. He just needed a little push in the right direction every once in a while.

This had happened in my family with my cousin once. So I knew how tense everyone must be and how Mary-Lynnette had been feeling.

My cousin was so overwhelmed she committed suicide. I didn't want that to happen for someone else.

I mean I would like to say she would never do that, but I never thought she would get pregnant at 17 either.

The movie started so decided to lie back down on my bed, i fell asleep somewhere towards the end.
