Chapter 5

Annabelle’s p.o.v

I stared down at my stomach.

There was no bump or anything yet.

The doctor said all the symptoms I was feeling were because of the early symptoms of pregnancy and they usually disappear after the second semester.

She also instructed that it was best if I rest as much as I could.

That I should not to do heavy work for the time being.

I don’t have a work that is too heavy for me to do….

And I also do not want to keep the baby.

It’s terrifying.

I am too young.

I know things like this do happen to people but I have never imagined it to happen to me.

My parents will ki*ll me!

Even if they don’t, I will ki*ll myself for disappointing them…

For letting them down….

How could I be this dumb..?

Didn’t he wear a condom?

I cursed Richard with every language I knew.

I will ki*ll him anytime he appears in front of me.

I feel like giving myself a punch right now.

How am I going to get myself out of this mess now?

I can’t even imagine how my parents will react once they found out.

How will I even break this news to them?

What will I say to them?

Getting rid of my unborn child means I will have to commit murder….. I will have to commit murderer.

Oh my goodness.

This is too much.

I never asked for this.

Why did this have to happen to me?

Why?

I burst into tears.

I think I should go to Abigail’s apartment.

Perhaps she would advice me on what to do.

Yes, that’s what I’m going to do.

I will go to her house.

Time skip

I stood in front of Abigail’s apartment.

Her boyfriend went on a business trip so she should be at home.

I glanced at the watch on my wrist.

It was seven o’clock.

Gabriel’s apartment was just right next to her.

Wasn’t I living in a dream?

I’m just five steps away from my crush apartment.

Suddenly I felt discouraged.

I did not know what to say to her if she is eventually at home.

“She is inside, I can hear the music from her
room.” I hear Gabriel say.

Gabriel happened to be leaving his apartment.

It seemed like he was going out because he was pretty well dressed.

“oh, thank you.” I smile at him sheepishly.

I came without dressing up properly.

My face should look haggard right now.

“This is very embarrassing” I murmured to myself.

“How have you been? You look beautiful without makeup on” Get complimented as he put a strain of my hair behind my ear.

“I’m fine….thank you….” I muttered.

I did not dare to look him in the eye, so I just kept looking at the door,
uncomfortably.

I did not expect to meet him here.

My heart was still aching because he did not
welcome my feelings.

“Okay, then.. You should..ughmm…. Get going.” He says as he pressed the bell for me.

“Have a pleasant night.”
He whispered to me as he politely smiled to end the conversation.

Abigail opened the door.

She squealed in happiness when she saw me at her door post.

“Annabelle.” She hugged me,

“I missed you. Why
didn’t you pick up my calls?”

There were plenty
missed call from her.

“I’m sorry. I was busy.”

“Come on in. Is that Gabriel?”

She could recognize his back from miles away.

“oh, yes..” I answered, smiling bitterly.

“Did you meet him?”

I stopped talking about Gabriel.

I did not tell her the reason so she suspected that he was the reason I
lost myself but I told her, he wasn’t.

“No…it just happened that he was out, too..”

He was.looking handsome and charming as usual.

So unfortunate that I can’t have him.

“Have a seat, I will get you something to drink.
Should we order pizza? I’m starving.”

Abigail opened the fridge.

She took out the soda and brought them to the living room,

“What are you doing today?”

“Abigail.. I’m pregnant..”

“Oh, really?….”

“wait…You what?” She questioned, probably thinking she misheard things.

“I’m pregnant..”

“How..? I know how but exactly how..?” She
could not even put her question into words.

Well I don’t blame her.

I mean…. She knows that I did not have a boyfriend to begin with and the only man she knew I have been in love with was just walking in the hallway earlier.

I broke down in tears.

I did not know how to explain.

I feel so ashamed of myself.

“Shh.. shh.. I’m here. Don’t cry.. We will figure
it out together.” Abigail muttered as she patted my back.

“Have you told anyone yet? How about the man?
You can’t get pregnant by yourself.”

“Not yet. You are the only one I have told. I’m thinking about..”

“…..Aborting it.”

I whispered the last line, afraid of how bad it sounded.

“Whatever you decide, I will support you!”

“Thank you..”

This was what I needed.

Some comfort.

I hugged her as I wished that all of this was only a bad dream.
