"What pregnant?!" Xander asked again. This time he already shouted. "Tiffany!" he shouted at me

"I guess you need to talk. excuse me" the doctor said and went outside. I tried to stop crying but I can't. There are a lot of thoughts and what-ifs coming through my mind right now.

I heard him sigh, went beside me, and held my hand "Tell me what happened. I'll understand you" he carefully said. I felt a sting in my heart. It hurts me because even though many happened and Tristan hurt me many times, I still love him and am willing to do everything just to get him.

"Tell me" I gulped. "The week before last week. I went to a bar alone. I drank and drank until I fell asleep there. The bartender called Tristan to pick me up" I started. "How would the bartender open your phone?" He asked, confused.

"I set it up. I-I removed my password and I put Tristan's contact name as 'my boyfriend' so that the bartender will think of calling him, and it worked. Tristan picked me up and I-" I stopped as I felt a sting in my heart again. I feel so ashamed of what I did! I shouldn't have done that!

"I was already sober that time when I woke up but still acted drunk and spat a lot of words at him. I didn't expect it but he kissed me and the next thing I knew, we're already making out in his car" I ended as I cry. Yes, I set those up because I want to get him. Because I know, if something happened to us, he will leave Celine and be with me because we're having a baby.

"What?! Why would you do that?! You already knew the possibilities if you'll do that but still continued?! What are you thinking?!" He shouted

"What can I do? I love him!" I defended

"That's not love anymore! That's an obsession!" He shouted back...

"Xander. Xander p-please. Let's keep it a secret. I'll tell them soon just please, please keep it a secret for a moment" I cried to him. He looked at me and cried. "Don't worry, I'm always here for you" He said and hugged me.

Why did I do that? I did that for the sake of us

After 3 days of retreat, everyone went home but Xander and I stayed for a day so we're still here. We stayed to check everything before completely leaving. For those 3 days of retreat, I never enjoyed it because I often felt sick and dizzy so I just stayed in my tent. Even the 4 girls are worried but I chose not to tell them. I'm not yet ready. They already went home yesterday and we're still here but they have their class now and we're excused.

"Are you ready?" He asked so I nodded. Our things were carried by the 4 girls so it won't burden us. We rode a vehicle to the hospital to check me up.

"It's been 3 weeks of your pregnancy and everything is doing fine and smoothly. You need to practice things a pregnant woman should do and shouldn't for you and your child's safety. Though it's still safe because it's still early but we should be more careful about the safety of the both of you"

Our plane landed in manila and I immediately saw my older brother, Troy.

"I'll go now. My driver's waiting for me. I'll see you tomorrow and just text or call me if something happens okay?" He said and kissed my forehead. I nodded and say our goodbyes before I went to my brother.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, hiding my awkwardness about Tristan. "Nevermind. Just tell me if that Tristan hurt you, I'll beat him" He said which made me roll my eyes. "Kidding. Do you want something? Let's eat" He said. I smiled. It's been 3 days and I'm still craving it!

"Chicken!" I happily said so we went to a fast-food chain and ate 3 chickens. "It doesn't look like you're hungry" Troy said, sarcastically. I smiled innocently and wiped my mouth. "Let's go, it's traffic" He said. I nodded and we stood up, went to the parking, and drove home. I checked my phone and saw the time. It's 3 pm and I realized that it's still class hours.

I froze when felt dizzy again and I want to vomit. I poked my brother. "What?" He asked, irritated. "Stop the car! I want to vomit!" I said. He panicked but was able to park the car to the side. I immediately went outside and vomit all the chickens I ate.

"Tissue" I said and pointed out my bag. He took all of my things in my bag and searched for my tissue. He handed me the tissue and water and washed my mouth. I turned around to go back inside the car when I noticed that he was holding a piece of paper and he looked shocked.

"What?" I asked. He looked at me, shocked. I took the paper out of his hand and read the paper. I froze

"Examination for pregnancy is positive? Explain now Tiffany Angel Lim" he said, serious. I gulped. How- I'm not yet ready. "Explain!" He almost shouted and tears started to fall down my cheeks. "I- I" I tried to explain but I don't know how, I couldn't find the right words to explain my actions. Like my tongue just ran away and betrayed me.

"Who's the father?" He asked and I gulped again. I'm scared. "WHO'S THE FATHER?!" He shouted, making me flinch in shock.

"T-Tristan" I said, almost whispering. He cursed and punched the steering wheel which made me shocked again. I'm scared. He started driving again. I want to ask where we going but I can see that he's mad so I chose to shut up. My eyes widened when we stopped in front of our school. Wait, don't tell me.

He immediately went outside the car and went inside our school. I hurriedly followed her. "Troy, stop" I said. I noticed a lot of students, looking at us. "Stop it, Tiffany!" He madly said to me and pointed at me. I gulped. He really is scary

We went to our room and saw Tristan and Celine, flirting in front of our room. Everyone shouted in shock when Troy punched Tristan. "Troy stop!" I said and tried to stop him but he was just unstoppable. He grabbed Tristan's collar again and punched him. Celine grabbed Tristan so I pulled Troy too. "Troy! Stop it!" I shouted at him. "What's your problem?!" Celine shouted at Troy.

"My problem?! That man! That Tristan is my problem!" Troy shouted too. "What did he do?!" Celine shouted again. Can't she just shut up? She's making it worse. I felt nervous as I saw a lot of students, surrounding us,

"WHAT DID HE DO? THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW TOO BECAUSE HE GOT TIFFANY PREGNANT!"
