The Baby Project: Book 1

Chapter 24

Emma's POV

I woke up Saturday morning with a pounding headache. I wasn't drinking last night but I didn't really eat yesterday so that could be a factor. I'm not one of those girls that starves herself...I just forget to eat sometimes because I'm so busy.

I rolled out of bed and rubbed my eyes. I slowly walked to my bathroom and grabbed two Advil from the medicine cabinet. I closed the mirror and looked at my reflection. I grimaced at the ugly ass troll staring back at me and rolled my eyes and left the room. I kept the pills in my hand as I made my way downstairs and into the kitchen where my dad was making breakfast.

"Good morning" my dad smiled

"Morning daddy" I mumbled kissing him on the cheek

"Everything ok?" He asked glancing away from the stove and towards me

"Yeah, my head just really hurts" I said massaging my temples

"Here eat this then take your medicine" my dad said sliding an omelet from the pan to my plate

I poked at my food a little before digging right into it. I inhaled my breakfast and took my pills before chugging my orange juice my dad poured.

"Why don't you lay down somewhere until your headache goes away...you know how bad your headaches get" my dad said sitting down in the chair across from me

"Okay but I'll sit with you while you eat your breakfast so your not alone" I quietly said giving him a small smile

"Have I ever told you you're my favorite child?" My dad joked taking a bite of his eggs

"I'm your only child" I chuckled shaking my head

"Yes but still my favorite" my dad smiled

"Hey daddy?" I said pushing my plate away from me

"Yes sweetie?" My dad asked looking up from his food

"Where's mom?"

"Uh well she's at your aunts house right now. Your aunt um needed her" my dad said not looking into my eyes

"Dad I know you two are fighting I'm not four. I hear all your fights." I told him with strong voice

"We will talk when your mother gets back ok? For now go get some rest" my dad said dismissing me

I quickly got up from my seat and left my dad at the table. I made my way up the staircase and into my room. I reached under my bed and whipped out my heating pad. I laid down and placed the heating pad on my head. I have a bad feeling about today.

As I was laying there I started thinking about how my life has changed.

My parents used to be so happy together but now they are barely speaking. I have an amazing boyfriend but I also made an enemy who was my friend.

Speaking of Angie she hasn't started anything yet. I'm not surprised though, she'll probably start something when I least expect it or she's too scared to actually make a move. I hope it's the second one.

Ugh this stupid headache!

I can't just lay here I have to do something. I decided to quickly call Blake to see what he's up to today maybe we can hang out.

Blake's POV

I walked through the dark and quite alley way. It was so quite I could here the tiny echo of my steps. I made my way to the end of the cold path and was met by a brown beat up door. I slowly creaked it open and walked inside looking back to make sure no one was following me.
