Riley

I sat there at the kitchen table, shoving scrambled eggs around my plate like they owed me money, while Ava's mom kept piling more bacon on Jax's plate like he was some starving orphan she'd just adopted.

Jax, that little shit, was grinning ear to ear, stuffing his face, and I shot him a look like, dude, slow down before you choke, but he just winked at me, the cocky bastard. Chloe was across from me, picking at her toast her face all pale and pinched, and I couldn't help but roll my eye

    AvaI stood there like my feet were glued to the floor the second Riley’s mom said it. “She needs to leave.”Riley jumped right in, voice loud and sharp. “What the hell, Mom? You talked to her mom for five minutes and now you’re kicking her out? Top-tier adult decisions tonight, really loving the support.”I tried to shrink back, my shoulders curling in, bag still hanging from my fingers like it weighed a ton. My throat felt tight and I could barely get words out. “I… I can go,” I whispered, but it came out so small nobody even heard me over them.Riley’s mom sighed, hands on her hips, trying to sound reasonable but her face said she was done. “Ava’s mother called me right after you left. She said Ava has been difficult for months, skipping school she just got into, lying about where she goes, and now this pregnancy story. She thinks Ava is making bad choices and needs to face consequences.”“Making bad choices?” Riley cut in fast, stepping half in front of me like some chaotic shield

    Riley “You don’t have to decide everything right now,” I said, slower, trying to make it simple, “just… come sit in the car, okay? We’ll figure it out from there.”Her mom let out a sharp breath. “If she gets in that car, she is no longer my daughter.”“Wow,” I muttered under my breath, “love the emotional support, really top tier parenting.”“Riley,” Ava said, and there was something in it now, something like panic, like she was about to break.“I’m here,” I said immediately, stepping even closer, close enough now that I could see the bruises starting to form on her arm, and yeah, that made me angrier than I was already, which I didn’t think was possible but here we are.She looked down at her arm, then back at me, then at her mom, and for a second I thought she was going to stay, I really did, because fear is a powerful thing and this was her family and walking away from that is not easy, it’s never easy, no matter how bad it gets.Then she moved.It was small at first, just her sh

    Riley The first thing I noticed wasn’t the yelling, which says a lot because there was a lot of yelling, it was the way Ava was standing there like someone had unplugged her from herself, like her body was still there but everything else had already checked out, and then I saw her mom’s hand clamped around her arm so tight I swear I could see the marks forming in real time and that was it for me, that was the exact second something in my brain just went oh we are not doing this today, absolutely not.“Ava?” I said again, but louder this time, sharper, because she wasn’t even looking at me properly, just blinking slow like she was trying to wake up from something.Her mom turned her head toward me like I was an inconvenience, like I had just shown up to ruin her evening plans or something.“This is not your business,” she said, already dismissing me, already turning back to Ava like I wasn’t even there.Yeah, no.“Let her go.”It came out before I even thought about it, just straight,

    Ava Her words hit harder than any slap. They didn’t just sting, they sank deep, settling somewhere in my chest where it already hurt to breathe. My eyes burned, vision blurring for a second, but I refused to let the tears fall. Not in front of her. Not when she was looking at me like I had already ruined everything.“I am not erasing anything, Mom,” I said, my voice shaking despite how hard I tried to steady it. I swallowed, forcing the lump in my throat down. “Not until I decide. This is not fair. You are acting like I did this alone.”She let out a laugh, but it wasn’t the kind that held humor. It was sharp, hollow, and cracked right through the air between us. “Not fair?” she repeated, her voice rising. “You want to talk about fair? I have given you everything, everything and this is how you repay me? By turning our family into some kind of joke?”I flinched, but I didn’t look away. If I did, I knew I’d break.“You think people won’t talk?” she went on, her eyes hard, almost unrec

    Ava I woke up to cold water hitting my face again but this time it was not my mom waking me up for school or something stupid like that. No, this time she was standing over my bed with the pregnancy test paper all crumpled in her other hand and her eyes were red and swollen like she had been crying for hours already. My heart dropped straight into my stomach before I could even sit up properly.“What the hell mom?” I said, wiping water off my face and trying to grab the paper from her but she jerked it away fast.“You tell me what the hell Ava!” she yelled, voice cracking halfway through like she could not decide if she wanted to scream or break down completely. “I came in here to clean your room because you never do it yourself and I find this? This test that says you are pregnant and then this other paper with Jax’s name matched to it? Your stepbrother? Are you out of your mind?”She started crying harder then, tears just pouring down her face while she waved the papers around like

    Ava I threw my hand up before anyone could even start talking again and it came out of me fast, like my patience just snapped in half and fell on the floor.“Okay. Everybody. Hold your horses.”Jax stared at me like I had grown a second head and didn’t know what language I was speaking anymore. “What did you just say?” he asked, slow and confused, like he was trying to process if I was joking or just completely gone in the head.“I said relax,” I repeated, louder this time, pointing between all of them because apparently I had become the manager of chaos whether I liked it or not. “Nobody is doing anything until this test is done properly. No arguing, no shouting, no accusing, no random emotional explosions. We are not doing this circus again in public.”Professor immediately stepped forward like I had insulted him personally and not just asked him to breathe like a normal human being. “You are the reason we are here,” he said sharply, like that solved everything in his mind.“Yes, I

    Ava I woke up that morning with this knot in my stomach that wouldn't quit twisting, still replaying last night's cold shoulder from Calder on the couch, him snoring like nothing happened but I knew better, both of us too stubborn to bridge that gap, and fuck, I hated it, hated how I'd made him fe

    AvaHe ran a hand through his hair, pacing now, voice rising. "Slow doesn't mean watching you flirt with some ex-crush right in front of me! You pushed me away, called me sir like I'm nothing yeah, it hurt, okay? If you're ashamed, fine, but don't string me along. I love you, but I'm not gonna be y

    Ava I sat there on that crinkly hospital bed paper, staring at this doctor guy who'd just frozen like I'd slapped him, and then it hit me harder no, not…. , it was actually Noah, holy shit, Noah from way back in high school, the one who'd been my massive crush, all brains and that shy smile that m

    Riley She nodded, biting her lip, and I pressed gently, rubbing in circles like the internet said to do for cramps. Her skin was warm through her shirt, and she let out a small sigh, relaxing a fraction. "Yeah... that's better. A little to the left."I shifted my hand, our eyes locking again, and
