Chapter 12: Problems
.x.
Last time on, The Wolf and The Lamb
"You don't remember?" She bit her lip and strutted closer to me. She grasped my chin in her hand and pulled my face closer to hers. "We fucked 3 weeks ago." I yanked my face out her hands and backed up.
"That isn't true. You're lying, because I'd never do that." I assured myself. She pursed her lips and let out a dark chuckle
"Oh, Link, we both know you're not entirely sure of what you would and wouldn't do." She gave me a sly smirk and I could feel my blood boiling. "By the way," she begins to say while reaching into her bag. She pulled out a small piece of plastic and held it out for me to look at.
"I'm pregnant."
Shock took me over, I was paralyzed. My own personal nightmare had become my reality. Lyra was pregnant, and the kid was mine. It all sounded too fake, but I wouldn't put it past her to pull a stunt like this. There was only one thing I could think to do: run.
I did a 180 and booked it for my car, leaving Lyra behind me. I could hear her shrieking behind me as I ran off. I made it to my car and I immediately began to drive off. I could only think of one place to go. Zelda's house. My apartment wasn't safe because Lyra apparently could get in when she wanted to, and knew where it was. So, Zelda's house is where I would make my escape too.
My heart and mind were racing as I drove 30 minutes to her family's mansion. Upon arrival I was surprised to see her looking out of her bedroom window, as if she was expecting me to show up. By the time I was parked and collected all my stuff out of my car, she was already waiting for me at the door.
"What are you doing here?" She asked me.
"Well, I've run into a bit of trouble, and there was only one person I could think to go to at a time like this" I responded sheepishly. I watched her grin widen because she knew she was starting to win me over. I couldn't help but to roll my eyes at her. "So are you going to let me in, or am I going to have to stand out here all night?" I asked her sarcastically.
She giggled and moved over, allowing me entrance to her house. The two of us walked side by side up to her room.
"So, what brings you here? You said you have a problem?"
I sighed. "Yea, and it's one I have no clue how to deal with. You see, I've done something I never thought I'd do, and it ended with something that I could have only hoped would never have happened."
"Well, that could be a lot of things, Link. Could you maybe be a little bit more specific?" She looked at me while furrowing her brows.
I nodded. "Yea, I can. I don't think I have ever told you about one of my ex's. Her name is Lyra, and we dated for a long time, and when we went off to college, she wound up cheating on me and I caught her the weekend I had come to surprise her with a visit. And now she's managed to worm her way back into my life. A few weeks ago she visited me at my apartment, and I was unable to turn her away, and I have no memory of what happened, but she said she is pregnant. Not only that, she told me all of this while I was with Romani, and now she hates me."
Zelda's eyes widened and looked as if they might pop out of her head. "That is a huge predicament! Maybe Lyra is lying to ruin your life? She sounds like the kind of person who would do that."
"You could be right, but I'm just worried about if it is true, then I'm going to have a kid, and not just that, a kid with her." I groaned out loud. My head was throbbing from all the shock and stress of the situation.
"Zelda, is it okay if I crash here tonight? I don't really want to go back to my apartment, or be by myself."
"I don't see why it would be a problem, but let me ask my dad first." I'll be back. She left me alone in her room, while she went off to find her dad. I sat down on her bed, which was easily the most comfortable bed I had ever sat on in my life. I couldn't help but to feel drowsy just by sitting on it.
"I'm sure laying down wouldn't be too bad of an idea…" I said to myself. I felt my body fall against the soft plush of her bed, and all I could feel was sleep lulling me away.
