"So...you like boys?" I raise an eyebrow at Shane.

"Yes."

Currently we are walking in the park after escaping from there with my incredible

hiding skills. I am pretty sure my so-called incredible hiding skills aren't actually incredible.

"You like girls too?"

"Yes." Shane answers back.

"That tall dude was your ex?"

"Yes."

"Can you say anything other than yes?" I narrowed my eyes on him.

"Yes." he grins back. This is my first time noticing he has dimples. I suddenly have the urge to poke them. I quickly shake my head to get rid of the thought.

"Why were we hiding again?"

"I don't know. It was just the first thing that came to my mind when I saw him. Now that I think about it, it was stupid." He frowns at himself.

We walk for a while in silence as Shane gets lost in his thoughts. I get lost in my thoughts too. I wonder what Adam is doing right now. Which shirt is he wearing today? Is he happy today or is he still upset over what happened with his friends? I don't really like it when he is sad.

"Both the dates are ruined. I don't think I will get a third date." Shane interruptus my thoughts.

"I think so too." I say kicking a rock on my way.

Shane looks at me wide eyed and then chuckles.

"I don't think you are over your ex yet. Getting in a relationship right now is a bad idea. You should sort out your feelings first and then look for a relationship." Getting into a rebound relationship is a bad idea. Shane doesn't look like a bad person, so I didn't think he would be the type to do that.

"You are probably right." Shane says, sighing.

"Can we be friends then? You are a great person as far as I know. I would love to be friends with you." Shane says smiling.

I feel like a lot of people are smiling at me these days.

"Sure." More the friends the better.

Am I a good person though?

"Rora I have something to confess." Paxton says. Something smells fishy, he only calls me Rora when he wants something from me.

"What?" I say chewing harder on my sandwich, confusion surrounded me not knowing what he wanted.

Taking a deep breath from the other side of the phone Paxton says, "I like your sister."

Play dumb, maybe he didn't mean it like that. Huh? "I like her too, although she is a bitch sometimes." From the other side of the table Cara glares at me because she doesn't like when someone curses in front of her. If only she knew, it's her I'm cursing at.

The call stays silent for a while, then I hear another loud sigh and Paxton starts to speak again.

"I mean LIKE like."

That caught me off guard. So off guard that I spit out the sandwich from my mouth. Cara eyed me warily at my weird behaviour.

Wait. What? "You mean...." I tried to speak but I couldn't help but laugh. Cara probably thinks I have gone crazy while having dinner. The fact that I am having a sandwich as dinner is crazy enough.

"Wow! You both will definitely suit each other." I could not stop laughing at the fact that Paxton likes Cara. It's just so weird, Paxton is that mature college guy who values studies more than anything while Cara acts half her age and studying is the last thing she wants to do. I guess opposites do attract.

"I know right?" Paxton's voice suddenly turns cheerful.

"You can eat the rest. I will wash the dishes after you are finished." I tell Cara over the phone as I walk away from the kitchen.

"Do you think she will say yes?" Paxton says from the phone.

That's when something comes to my mind. Cara is pregnant. Paxton does not know she is pregnant. How can I forget about that?

"Umm...Paxton."

"Yep." I hear something rummaging in the background.

"I think you shouldn't tell her...I mean you don't really know, but....I was going to tell you but I didn't think it was my business to share. Geena has probably not said anything to you either.... Cara is actually pregnant." It takes me a lot to say these words to him.

"What?" I hear a thud from the background.

"Yeah...so she is not attending college."

"How long?" My heart breaks at the way Paxton's voice shakes a bit.

"Three months."

"Fuck." Is the last thing I hear before he hangs up on me.

He is probably shocked that she is pregnant and for so long. So I cut him some slack for hanging up on me. It's hard to believe if your crush is pregnant after all. Although I can't help but feel a little upset for Cara, she was just turned down for her pregnancy. I wonder how else this will affect her.

After putting the dishes in the dishwasher, and making sure Cara was comfortable, I decided to go for a walk. Walks during the night help to clear my head, today was an eventful date. From my second ruined date, to my best friend confessing the crushies for my sister, it was indeed eventful. After mom had packed her bags and left us, the work had increased. Taking care of Cara is a lot with school stuff, and day by day I will get busier and busier. I wonder if I should take a break from school.

If I do end up taking a break, I will really have no time left for myself. These thoughts make me feel miserable. It isn't supposed to be like that. Mom isn't supposed to leave us when we need her the most. When Cara needs her the most. I am sure if I do end up taking a break, it won't be for a short while. After nine months, we will all be busy taking care of the new life.

My thoughts make me feel selfish too. We all have a bunch of things to worry about. Dad's divorce is taking a toll on him. We all miss mom. And here I am complaining about the fact that I wouldn't be able to attend school for a while.

Walking through the silent night, as the harsh wind hits my skin I can't help but wonder what the future holds for me, will I have any time for myself?

Will I have any room to breathe?

********
