Pregnant For My Bully

Amelia Forbes

I could feel the rapid pounding of my heart as I watched Dani stare me down. I couldn’t read her expression, couldn’t tell what she was feeling. My tongue hung on the roof of my mouth, dry.

My lips parted but I didn’t know what to say. Beside me, Adrian gently helped Nana onto a sofa and handed her a glass of water.

“How long did you plan on keeping this a secret?”

I looked up at Dani. I’d been praying for her to say something all this while but now that she did I didn’t know what to say. Her eyes were glassy and cold. I shivered a little, the thought of her hating me now freezing up my insides.

“Dani, I…” I managed to blurt out. “I didn’t know how..”

My voice shook with each word. Adrian gave me a reassuring nod and placed a hand on Dani’s shoulder.

“Amelia is going through a really tough time right now-”

“You knew?”

The accusation in her voice chilled me to my bones and I could feel the tears forming in my eyes.

Dani stood there, chest heaving, looking from my stomach to my tearstained face.

The last thing I heard was the anger in her voice as she screamed, “That asshole!”

In less than 5 seconds she had stormed out of the door. My eyes widened in realization. She was going to confront him.

The now familiar taste of bile rose in my throat as I screamed after her. “Dani it’s no use!”

She ignored me, the sound of her motorbike informing me she was already on her way to the Davenports. I staggered to my feet, helpless.

I have to go after her. Confronting Jason wouldn’t solve anything. Family wealth and status could get him out of anything. There was no point.

Tears streaming down my face, I began to limp to the door. Adrian’s firm hand stopped me in my tracks.

“No!” I screamed, snatching my hand away. “She’ll do something crazy.”

“Breathe, Mel. Breathe,” He cooed, rubbing my shoulders in small circles. When I was calm he led me to a chair. “Stay here. Take care of Nana. I’ll go after Dani.”

I nodded feverishly, trying to steady my breathing.

Nana’s soft touch admist the tears on both our faces calmed me down as I watched Adrian race out the door and into his car.

Jason Davenport

A loud banging on the front gate brought me out of my reverie. Looking at the time, I frowned. It was 8 in the morning. Who would be knocking like that?

Irritated, I rang one of the servants. “Go take care of whatever that irritating noise is. Right now.”

I relaxed back onto my bed as he bowed and left.

I sighed. Lately I’ve been so tired. All the time. Sighing again, I looked toward my TV to see what video game would take off all the stress right now.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

As I bent to pick one up, I heard Dad scream my name. It sounded more like a roar. I frowned deeply. He never called me out this loud. What the hell was happening?

Still frowning at the interruption, I made my way downstairs. I stopped dead in my tracks as I came face to face with a fuming Dani Daniels.

All of a sudden, my breathing quickened. Dani defended Amelia against Kimberly. Dani was friends with Amelia.
