Not Two But Three

Issues

Brooke stood up and left, leaving me in utter shock. Why couldn't she just leave me alone? She's made my life hell and now it's not just affecting me.

I stood up and went straight for the bathroom. I saw my face, rosy cheeks and glassy eyes. I ran the water in the sink and splashed my face the cool temperature calming some of my nerves.

Talking to Brett about Lucie, telling Connor the truth, and figuring out how to tell my family that I'm pregnant. I already had enough issues to deal with now another one piled up. Another issue that I'm gonna have to solve.

I pat dry my face and walked out of the gym trying to mask my expression. I wasn't gonna let anyone see that on the inside I wasn't scared I was terrified. I should have told the truth, but my messed up self didn't.

I dragged myself to the dorm, stopping at the door when I heard sobs coming from the other side of the door. Lucie? She's been crying recently since her breakup with Brett. Again my fault but I thought she'd eventually get over him and did what I did find a guy to hook up with minus the getting pregnant of course.

I quietly stepped backwards then made my steps louder as I turned back to the door so she could hear I was coming. I knew if I caught her full on crying she'd be embarrassed. She tries her hardest to help others but tends to forget about herself in the process. I wish she'd know that it's okay to let others be there for her, but that was something that could take ages for her to finally get.

I jiggled the door knob just in case then finally opened the door. I walked in spotting Lucie with redness around her eyes and tears just on brim of falling. Okay that's it after I talk to Corbin I'm talking to Brett.

"Luce what's wrong" I ask even though I knew

"It's nothing really" her eyes linger down to her phone screen

"Luce you're not gonna push me away now show me your phone"

She pulls away her phone deciding if it's best for me to see it. But then I raise my eyebrow and she slowly hands it to me. I grab it out of her hand even though she held a tight grip on it.

"That douche!" On her phone was a picture of Brett partying with girls practically clinging of of him, and no surprise Corbin too.

Lucie mumbled something that I couldn't understand and she began crying. I walked over to her and she rested her head on my shoulder. I rubbed her back letting her tears stain my hoodie.

Eventually Lucie raised he head up and wiped her tears away. Pulling herself back together, she did that faster than anyone I knew. One moment she was full on crying the next she's back to normal acting like nothing happened.

"I'm gonna get some fresh air, do you need anything?" I shared my head and she left.

♡♡♡

After Lucie left I fell asleep, I hoped when I woke up I would feel better but that wasn't the case. I walked over the the full length mirror pulled up my hoodie a little bit and rubbed my hand over my belly. One little thing caused this spiral of a mess, yet I would do all over again for my baby.

I headed out knowing that Corbin's practice would be ending soon. Would he even talk to me? Even if the answer is no I needed to do this.

I look to find the field empty so I walk to the changing rooms. I can do this... right? Leaning against the wall to the right of the door I wait.

I immediately feel my cheeks become heated as a couple boys pile out giving me weird glances.

"You do realize the boys hockey changing rooms the other corridor right?" One boy asks me pointing towards it. He lets out a small laugh, probably thinks I'm stupid and can't find it. As if I haven't been there before. My boyfrie- ex boyfriend? I'm not really sure what we are, but when we were dating I used to go there after his games to congratulate him.

"Yeah I know," I reply. Then I turn my attention back to my phone. He shakes his head and the rest of them leave.

Finally I hear the door open again, I turn my head a see Corbin he's laughing at something one of his buddy's around him said. He brushes his hand through his hair and that's when he spots me. His smile drops almost immediately, what a friendly welcome. The boys around him once again give me weird looks except for Brett.

I stare right at him. "We need to talk."

"Woah, I'm good hot stuff." The boy next to him says, not seeing I wasn't talking to him. Clearly he's had one too many football's hit him the head.

"Not you" I roll my eyes. "I need to speak to Corbin." The boys around him tear their attention away from me and it goes straight to their quaterback. But he's still glaring at me.

"Okay talk." Seriously?

"In private please." I say motioning towards the few guys that were surrounding him.

It looked like the boys were looking for confirmation to leave. He nods his head and they all start to walk away. Before Brett gets too far I grip his wrist. I feel him tense, shocked that I stopped him, and I remove my grip. "You and me are talking once I'm done too." He looks confused, but I mouth 'Lucie', he nods then follows the rest of the boys out.

I turn my attention back to Corbin. His face was stone and I could tell he was getting even more impatient as the seconds tick by.

"We're alone. So talk."
