CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO
PAYTON
––––––––
My bladder wakes me with a start, and I climb out of bed and use the bathroom.
Damn Knox.
How dare he come over last night? As if I was just going to let him in and everything would be okay.
It’s not.
I can’t see or speak to him right now. Not after doing the test and seeing those little pink lines.
I’m terrified.
On Saturday I am moving home to my parents’ house, and I will have to tell them. Not immediately, but eventually.
I haven’t even told Molly.
The first question everyone will ask is, what are you going to do? I don’t have an answer for them. I am still in shock.
Pregnant, unemployed, rejected, and in enormous debt. This was not how I saw my life unfolding. What a complete and utter disaster.
It did occur to me that Dad would wipe the debt knowing I am having a baby, but I honestly don’t care right now. I just want to sleep for a year and pretend none of this is happening.
Tomorrow I will go to the doctor and find out how many weeks I am. Who knows when it happened? It could have been at any point.
On my way back to bed, I walk past the window and look out across the street to where Knox had parked last night—What in the hell?
His car is still there.
No way...I stride through the house and quietly unlatch the lock, then pull open the door.
Bang.
“Fuck!” Knox cries as his head hits the floor. “What the fuck, Payton?”
“Why the hell would you lean on the door?” I crouch and grab his arm. “Are you okay?”
