34 Chapter 42 Teen s Control

(JASMIN POV s)

"Amy!" I called out angrily as my sister passed me by like I'm some fencepost by the sidewalk. It was midnight and she'd just leisurely came home as if unbothered to be seen and be gossiped about.

"What?" She gave me a snide look.

"Where did you go? Didn't you know there are so many rumors about you spreading around?"

"Believe it or not, I didn't go to that place," she replied passively and locked herself in our shared room. Because I no longer go to work, I had to bear everyday all the burdensome behaviors of my family.

"Did you see Dexter?" I asked her behind the door.

"I didn't. Don't try to disturb me anymore!"

I felt restless since the morning I woke up and until now I couldn't sleep. Nadine and Dexter still haven't come home while Ma said she'll be going somewhere. Thank God Amy went home. I sat outside the door while I tried to ease my chest from the queasiness I am feeling.

Amid the quietness, Amy hurriedly went out the room and sprinted towards the toilet to vomit. It was profuse and loud.

Is she drunk again?

She stayed long in the comfort room and as minutes passed by, I heard her sobbing.

"Are you alright?" I asked worriedly when I pried the door open. She immediately snatched something and held it tight in her hands to keep me from seeing whatever it was. "Amy…"

I held my hands up my mouth when she retched again, "Don't tell me you're…"

"Yes, I am. Alright," abundant tears fell off her cheeks as she wiped her mouth messily with her clenched palm. "I'm pregnant! Happy now?"

I was speechless.

She ran off again and isolated herself back to the room. Her confession deafened me for a bit until some more noise erupted outside our house. Some yelling forced me to go out.
