chapter 24
Over the past week he would, everyday, sit here, on the front steps of the Safe House, waiting for her but she never came. At one point he thought he saw her walking towards the house –certain that it was her- but she turned around and hurried away.
He was now sitting on the mattress inside the house, waiting for her, just like he's been doing for the past week.
He sat there; watching the door, 'Where is she? Is she avoiding me? Stupid question, of course she's avoiding me!'
Just as he started yelling at himself internally the door opened and Emelina walked in. Her golden locks twisted up in a ponytail, her eyes seemed bluer than before. She was wearing a long-sleeved lilac shirt and dark purple jeans. His heat skipped a beat as he saw the angel he had given her resting on her chest.
Their eyes locked for a moment before she turned around and rushed out of the house mumbling to herself, "I can't do this, not now."
He rushed after her, "Em! Please! Wait! Please just talk to me!" He quickened his pace, stopping in front of her, "Please just stop avoiding me! I know it's very confusing and I gave you a couple of days to think but you just kept avoiding me; never giving me a chance to explain who I am-"
"I HAVEN'T BEEN AVOIDING YOU BECAUSE OF THAT! I'VE BEEN AVOIDING YOU BECAUSE…" She hesitated for a second, "Maybe we should talk about this inside."
"Ok?" He followed her back up the steps and into the house; she closed the door behind him.
She was fiddling with her fingers; she was nervous, "You may want to sit down."
"Ok?" He eyed her curiously but cautiously as he sat down on the mattress.
She started pacing , avoiding eye contact; he could see that she was panicking and he got worried, "Em, are you ok?"
She was still pacing, "umm… yeah. Ok. So at first, yes, I was shocked and confused and honestly a little scared but after a day of thinking and contemplating, I finally dealt with it because I love you and I believe we have something special and then I was thinking about our date and I smiled at the memories and then I started counting and then I started panicking. So I gathered up all the money I have and bought two tests. I went to the restroom at the shop because there was NO WAY I was letting my father find out! I took the tests, followed the instructions and when the timer went off I finally knew. I finally knew if I was or if I wasn't…" She stopped pacing and fell quiet.
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
She turned around so that their eyes met, hers were watery and a single tear escaped and rolled down her cheek, "I'm pregnant."
