Chapter 9: One Month Later

Eliza

It's been about a month since Peggy and I found out about Angelica and Thomas. We haven't questioned her about it for fear she would get mad at us. I love my sisters more than anything in this life, I would choose their happiness over mine every time. And, if this is what Angelica wants, then so be it.

I woke up to the sound of feet running across the floor to the bathroom. Peggy was still asleep so it had to be Angelica.

I got out of my bed and walked carefully over to the bathroom door. "Angelica?"

"E-Eliza?"

"Can I come in?"

"Yes."

I walked in the door and saw Angelica on the floor. She was shaking and she had tears running down her face. I rushed to her side. "Angelica, are you alright?" I asked, a concerned tone in my voice.

Her eyes fluttered a little bit, then she hung herself over the toilet and threw up.

I patted her back. She was shaking so bad. "Angelica. It's gonna be okay. I'll go get you some water."

I got up from the bathroom floor and walked to the kitchen and got her a glass of water. When I opened the door, Angelica still sat on the floor with her legs pulled up to her chest.

I handed her the glass of water. "Thanks Betsy." She hurriedly drank the water and put the glass on the sink. "Will you hand me my bag?"

I handed her her bag. "I'll get out okay."

She nodded. I stepped out of the bathroom and pulled the door closed. When I turned around Peggy was right there.

I jumped. "Peggy!" I whisper yelled.

She looked past me. "Is Angelica okay?"

I shook my head. "I don't know. I hope she is."

I trudged over to my bed and sat down. Peggy sat next to me. About 10 minuets later, Angelica came out of the bathroom, a blank look on her face. Peggy and I stood up.

"You okay Ange?" Peggy asked.

Angelica ignored her and walked to her bed, laid down and pulled the covers over her head.

"Angelica.." I trailed off as she showed us what was in her hand. I turned on the light to get a better look.

A pregnancy test.

And it was positive.

Lafayette

I sat on the couch with Herc watching a movie.
I brought the blanket up around my neck. He kissed my cheek.

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket.

SinnamonRoll:3: I NEED ALL OF YOU RN!!!!!

🐢🐢🐢: What's wrong?????

SinnamonRoll:3: DONT ASK QUESTIONS JUST GET UR ASSES OVER TO MY DORM NOW!!!!!

Wow. I've never heard Eliza swear before. Over text or talking.

Herc scrolled through his messages. "We gotta go Laf," he said. "She sound serious."

I threw the blanket off of me and grabbed the keys for the dorm and walked out.

I followed Herc down the hallway. We got to Eliza's dorm and opened the door. Everyone except Maria was there.

"Eliz-" I started.

Maria flew through the door. "I CAME AS SOON AS I HEARD!!"

We all sat down and Angelica came out of her room wearing a somber expression. She sighed.

"Listen, guys. You're my best friends and I wanted to share this with you." She took a deep breath. "I'm p-pregnant." She placed a hand on her stomach.

We bombarded her with questions.

"Who's the father?"

"How long have you known?"

"What will you name it?"

"Settle down, guys."

Just then the door opened and freakin Thomas Jefferson strutted in. "What's up losers?"

He looked to Angelica and made his way over to her with a fake ass cane he didn't even need.

Angelica took him to her room, then about a minute later they walked out, Angelica still looking sad and Thomas looking upset.

"Angelica?" John spoke up. "Who's the father?"

She looked down to her feet in shame, then looked back up. "Thomas."
