sick?”
“No, for making you watch that.”
“It’s no big deal. I have five siblings, trust me, someone’s always throwing up at my house,” he grinned.
“Thank you for being so nice. You um, you handled that much better than Kellan would have. He would have vomited right alongside me,” I smiled, realizing I felt a lot better.
“It doesn’t bother me. Are you feeling better?”
“Yeah, thanks. I hope you don’t get whatever it is I have.”
He looked down at me for a minute, but didn’t say anything. He started to ask me something, but didn’t. He took me home and walked me to the door.
“Um, see you later, Abby. I hope you feel better.”
“I do. Thanks.”
“Abby, um…if you need to talk, I swear I’m a good listener. No strings attached. I swear I won’t tell anyone.”
“You won’t tell anyone what?” I asked, perplexed.
He looked down and said, “Nothing. Maybe I’m wrong…it’s just I have two sisters, and they were both sick, too. Its okay if you don’t want to talk to me about it, I just hope you have someone that you can talk to. You don’t really seem to have any friends. Tyler’s gone and your boyfriend’s so far away, so I just thought, you know, if you want to talk, I’m here.”
“Talk about what?” I asked, completely confused.
“Nothing, sorry. I’m sure I’m way off base. I’ll see you tomorrow,” he said and started to walk away.
“Justin, what are you talking about? What was wrong with your sisters?”
“They were um, you know…sick like you, and throwing up and stuff.”
“Well, what was wrong with them?” I asked, thinking I might get some insight on what had been ailing me.
“They were um…oh, it doesn’t matter…”
“No, tell me, please. They were what?” I asked, grabbing his arm.
He looked around to make sure no one was there and then whispered, “They were…pregnant. Both of them. I had two nieces born the same week, just a few weeks ago.”
“Pregnant?”
“Yeah. Look, I told you, I won’t say anything. I’ve just been watching you for a long time…so I’ve noticed you’ve been sick,” he looked down at my chest and quickly back up to my eyes, and said, “and stuff.”
“Watching me?”
“I’m not a stalker or anything. But, I like you. I always have. You’re beautiful, and nice and sweet…sorry, I’ve kind of had a thing for you for a while now.”
I stared up at him, shocked by his admission. “Justin, you know I have…”
“I know. Look, I’m not asking for anything. I know you love him. Um, does he know?”
“Does he know what?”
“About…” he stopped and looked down at my belly.
It finally hit me ; he actually thought I was pregnant. He had said as much, but it just didn’t register that he could be talking about me.
“I’m not pregnant, Justin. I mean, I can’t be pregnant.” I was actually laughing at him, now.
“Oh, I just assumed…you know, an older guy and all, and you seem so crazy about him.”
“I am. I’ve been in love with him for years. But, I’m not…pregnant. Trust me, he’s very cautious,” I blushed, knowing I just admitted to sleeping with Kellan.
“Sorry. I didn’t mean to pry.”
“No, it’s fine, really. I don’t know what it is, but I’m sure that’s not it,” I grinned up at him again.
“Okay, good. Sorry. Um, I’ll see you at school.”
“Okay. Thanks again.”
“Who was that?” Nancy barked when I walked through the door.
“A friend from school. I wasn’t feeling well, so he gave me a ride home.”
“Hmm, I wonder what your brother would think about you running around behind his back with some jock?” she asked snidely. She must have been watching us out the window and noticed his varsity jacket.
“ Kellan isn’t my brother, he’s my boyfriend, and Justin is just a friend. Why am I explaining this to you? I don’t feel well, I’m going to bed.”
I took a shower, ate a few bites of some
