I had cried in Amandas arms as well, telling her everything that had happened to me. And I mean absolutely everything. The kidnapping. The murder. The twins. I had told her every little detail, even the details I did not have enough time to write into the letter. I had told her everything. But only after swearing her to secrecy. She agreed to keep my secret- or shall I say secrets- stating she owed me for all the secrets I kept for her over the many years of our friendship. "Hey, Chica. What's up?" I can hear the smile in her voice. Despite my current predicament, I can’t help but smile to myself. "Are you busy right now?" "Never too busy for you. I’m just procrastinating on these reading manuscripts that my boss wants me to look over for her. Wanna meet at the diner?" I nod, then remember she can't see me. "Yeah, I can be there in fifteen minutes or so?" She agrees, and soon I'm parking my car outside the diner that's a block away from our apartment complex. We a
What the hell is wrong with us? We made her leave, and we didnt even give her a chance to fucking explain herself. We promised to love her forever, no matter what. And she actually loves us. She loved us no matter what was wrong with us. She loves us despite our flaws. She didn't care about the skeletons we had hidden from her. She didn't care that we basically forced her into the relationship. She didn't care about anything except just loving us and showing us that we deserved to be loved. And we didnt even let her tell us what the fuck happened. We still dont even know the complete fucking truth. And by the look of things, we will never know what the fuck happened. We've spent the last two weeks of Caroline being gone in complete misery. It feels like a piece of me is gone, like I can barely breathe. Like a part of my heart is walking alone out there. What if something happens to her? What if she falls in love with someone else? What if those weird men find her aga
We spent nearly two hours in the diner, as usual. After two hours of eating, crying, and venting, we decided to take a walk down the park across the street. “Do you know which option you are leaning towards?” Amanda questions, glancing down at me as we walk. I take a deep breath before responding. “Well, I'm not sure how much longer I have to decide. An abortion is still an option, I believe. But fuck, i dont think i can live with myself i i did it. So I think that is pretty much completely out of the window, you know?” She nods as a response. “I get it. Like I said, Stephanie could not live with it for a long ass time.” “Yeah, I can't even imagine going through that process. Besides, it's not that I'm not happy about being pregnant. I am happy. It's just a tough decision. I used to want to be a mom so bad. But then everything went down, and having to witness my family being destroyed, it broke me. It got to the point where I decided I would never have children. I didn't think
I laugh at her and pull her back down on the grass next to me. "The twins have been trying to find me I guess. I think I need to go, at least to see what they want, you know? Besides, they should know about the baby. It's not really fair on them. What if something were to happen to me, and the baby was put into the foster system or something?" She wraps me up in a surprising hug. "I'm proud of you. So when are we going?" I pull away and look at her in confusion. "We?" She gives me a look. "I told you I would be there for you through it all. That includes baby daddy drama. Or is it baby daddies?" I laugh at her, not even bothering to try to persuade her to stay. Once she set her mind on something there was nothing I could do. “Well, I guess we should head back home and look at flights.” Within seconds, her phone is in her hand. She taps away at it for a few moments before looking back up at me. “There's a flight leaving in three hours. I booked two seats.” I shake my head a
"Besides, I'm going to be there with you. So if they even step too quickly, I got you covered.” I laugh and pull away from amanda. “Thanks, mandy. I'm still scared, but I think I owe it to myself, to this baby, to figure out what the hell is going on. For better or for worse, right.” She laughs along with me. “Okay, so my bag is packed. I just packed light. I figure that we won't be there long. And if things go goof, then I still have all of my clothes that I left in my house before Dennis moved me here.” “Sounds like a plan. Our uber will be here in five minutes.” I nod at her before heading back into my closet. “I'm so freaking nervous to see them. What am I supposed to say to them?” I rummage through my jackets until I find a thick black hoodie. I throw it on and then look through my jeans. I find a pair of blue boyfriend jeans. Kicking off the leggings I had worn to the doctor appointment, i slide the jeans on. I slip on my slides and exit my closet to see Amanda fixing
"They asked me for an appointment." I look up at Amanda, who stands in front of me, face down and shoulders slumped in defeat. I sigh. I figured this would be a complication. As soon as we landed in New York last night, we went straight to the hotel to sleep. In our hurry to make the flight, I hadn't thought of any plan on what to say to the twins, or how I would even get the opportunity to say it. After all, I doubt the security would let me near them. But it wouldn't hurt to try, right? At least, that is what I had originally planned. Now, after the long flight and lack of sleep, I have no energy for this bullshit. If they try to keep me from seeing the twins today, I may just leave. I should have gotten more sleep before coming to meet with the twins. But I couldn’t. Mind you, when I had first left the twins when Mark showed up, I did not sleep for the first two days. By the third day, I had to take sleep medication just to sleep. After that third day, I simply slept alo
“What the fuck are we going to do, brother?” I ask Nicholas while I stare at myself in the mirror of our bathroom in the office of our building. Nick, who’s leaning against the doorway, his eyes closed, shakes his head. “I have no clue, Tony. I don’t know how much longer I can go on without her. I’m getting close to just walking into the FBI building, guns blazing. We have gotten nowhere. No where!” I shake my head back. “I know, brother. You’ve barely slept.” He scoffs. “Neither have you.” “I never really slept well, though. Not until Caroline. Corinna. Whatever the hell her name is. But you have always been a good sleeper.” “I know, I know. Sorry, I don’t mean to snap on you. I really don’t. I love you, brother. I’m just really, really tired. And I feel like I’m going fucking insane here, Antonio.” “I know, brother. I know. Why don’t you just head home and try to get some sleep? We have only one meeting today, and that’s over the phone. I’m sure I can manage it by myself. And
Nicholas lets out an awkward laugh. "I'm pretty sure we broke over fifty phones trying to get to you." I smile up at them. "Well I'm here now, so?" I trail off. "We missed you, my love. Not having you with us was absolute torture. As soon as you left, we realized how big of hypocrites we were. We lied to you, kept secrets from you. You accepted us, forgave us. And yet we couldn't do the same for you. I'm so sorry for that. Do you think you could ever forgive us?" I look at them, really fucking look at them. Can I forgive them? Of course I can. But would they forgive me? Would they? I take in a deep breath, closing my eyes before opening them back slowly. "I forgive you guys, I do. But, I need to tell you both something." They each take a hand, and I swear I feel like sobbing. "I'm pregnant." At first, the twins do not react. They simply gawk at me, faces frozen. Minutes later, however, I notice a smile begin to slowly spread across Nicholas' faces. “You're pregnant?" Nic
