Syrus's POV
I stared up at the ceiling and sighed. I kept wondering when Elizabeth would come back, and I also wondered if she was all right.
"I've got to tell someone about this, but Zane would only hate me if I told him about Liz, and I bet Chazz wouldn't be happy about it either. I know I'm going to regret this, but…"
I picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number.
"Hello, who is it?" a woman's voice asked.
"Hey Mom, it's me, Syrus." I twirled the phone cord around my finger.
"Oh, hi sweetheart! How are you doing?" she said.
"Fine, fine, but I do have a bit of a problem," I said.
"What's wrong?" she asked. Damn, what the Hell was I thinking? Stupid, stupid, stupid!
"Mom, you know that girl I told you about, Elizabeth? Well, I found out that she's…" I trailed off, completely nervous.
"She's what, Syrus?" she asked, sounding worried. She didn't know about Elizabeth's death, only that we'd been dating.
"She's pregnant," I said. My mother was silent for a few minutes, and then I heard a crying laughter.
"Mom, are you okay?" I asked.
"Yes, I'm fine. But tell me, how did she come back to tell you, being dead and all?" she asked.
"What, how did you…"
"Zane told me. Oh sweetie, what are you going to do? After all, Satan's very powerful, and I doubt that she can escape on her own," she said.
"Wait, how did you find all this out, I mean Zane didn't know…"
"Your friend Jaden told him and Chazz everything. Don't worry, son. I'll look through some old books in the den and see if I can find anything out."
Damnit, I'm going to kill them.
"By the way, when's it due?" my mother asked out of the blue.
"Umm, I think early to mid-January," I said.
"Ah, a winter baby, just like you," she said. My birthday was on January 29.
"Yeah, yeah," I said, drifting off into my own little world. We said our goodbyes and then hung up. I laid back on my bed.
Ah, a winter baby, just like you.
"Just like me."
Yeah, probably the worst chapter ever, but I felt guilty about not updating in nearly a year. Please review!
