are beautiful” Hayden said which made me blush.

 

“Wow, wow, wow. Did you come here to meet her or flirt with her?” Finn asked which made me giggle. 

 

“But she is beautiful. You chose her right. . .” Hayden smirked. “Anyway, it's a pleasure to meet you. And how old are you?”

 

“I'm 17, and how old are you, huh? 13?” I asked jokingly.

 

“I am 15 actually, not a baby you know” he said, with an adorable pout plastered across his face.

 

“And Finn, what's up with your hair?” I couldn't hold my laughter. He had sparkles and pink colored bows.

 

“Skyler, do you like it?” he asked while posing jokingly.

 

I nodded, but still I didn't want my brother to figure out that they're here. “Anyway, I seriously have to—”

 

“Well, well, well. . .Look what we have here” Alec said while standing beside me. I parted my mouth in two and then looked at Finn and Hayden. My brother crossed his arms across his chest and glared at Finn.

 

“Alec, just. . .I was telling them to leave already”

 

“I've been having a very hard time believing you lately” he said now looking at me.

 

“I'm your sister. . .Why don't you believe me?” I asked, hurt.

 

“Well, let's see. . .” he said and put himself in a thinking position. “You lied to mom and dad of where you were last night, and you were just with this–with this jerk” he said bitterly.

 

“You're being a jerk right now” Hayden butted in. “Don't you dare insulting my brother like that”

 

“Get out of this” Alec said.

 

“I won't get out of it. . .You mess with my brother, you mess with me” he said and took a step towards Alec. My brother being taller than Hayes, but he wasn't intimidated one bit. Nash tried to get him to step back, but he didn't even budge. He was just staring up at my brother, arms crossed.

 

“Okay, enough. . .Both of you. Please, can you leave, I don't want any trouble” I said and pushed Hayden back slightly. "Please" I whispered to him. He stared at my brother once more and then his face softened when he met my gaze. I looked at him with pleading eyes, and he let go a heavy sigh. Finn and Hayden stepped back, and as I was closing the door, I mouthed 'sorry' to both of them.

 

I turned to my brother with a scowl on my face. “Did you invited them here?” he asked.

 

“What difference does it make if I tell you, huh? Anyway you won't believe anything I say, isn't that right?” I said and stomped towards the stairs.

 

“Gwen, wait a minute” he said. I turned around to face him.

 

“I don't want to talk to you, they weren't doing anything to me. They just wanted to see me, so let me take care of myself”

 

“No, I won't let you, okay? You're still young”

 

"I'm 17 years old! And having a baby if may I add"

 

“That's the point, you're just 17 and somehow you talk to me like if you were 25, which you're not. I'm trying to protect you, because he had sex with you and I'm sure as fuck he didn't care enough to know what happened to you after that, he didn't even know you were pregnant until that day we went to his hotel room. He wouldn't have known if it wasn't for me. He would've been hooking up with other girls! He's a guy! Stop being so fucking naïve and open your eyes, Gwen, and realize he's just like the rest billions of guys that are only looking for one thing, and one thing specifically. . .Sex”

 

“He's not like that! I know him, you don't. It doesn't matter how he was before, he's here and he've been treating me so nicely. You're suffocating me with all this protection. I can take care of myself. And you know what? I don't care how many times you tell me all of those things about him, because–because I love him!”

 

Alec stayed speechless, his jaw almost touching the ground. I quickly ran to my room, closing my door with all my strength. Tears sprung out of my eyes, I lied on my bed, and hugged my pillow tightly. I just wanted to disappear and stop having problems, I just wanted everything to be back to normal. . .

 

My phone buzzed, so I grabbed it from my nightstand to check it. Finn's name popped up.

 

Finn:

 

Are you okay?

 

I started typing a reply.

 

Me:

 

No. Honestly, I'm not :(

 

Finn:

 

I'm so sorry, Gwen. For everything. For having sex with you, for making you fight with your brother, for just everything. . .It is my fault.

 

Me:

 

It's okay, really. . .I just wish it would be easier. Are you going to your Hotel right now?

 

Finn:

 

No, didn't I tell you? Cameron and I finally moved to our new apartment!

 

Me:

 

Oh, that's great!

 

Finn:

 

Yeah, maybe someday you could come and visit. . .

 

Me:

 

Finn. . .

 

Finn:

 

I know, I know. It was just an idea. But you're right, is a bad one. I just don't think anymore, haha.

 

Me:

 

It's okay, it's not a bad idea. Send me the address just in case.

 

I waited for a couple of minutes and then he sent me the address to his new place. I caressed my mini bump and then placed my phone in my nightstand. I lied on my bed and closed my eyes. I wiped the few dry tears on my cheek and then hugged my pillow, drifting to sleep.

 

Chapter 28 - Mean Girl

“So today, I was thinking in doing a mini project here in the class. And yes since I'm in a good mood today, you can choose your partners” Ms. Johnson said while writing the name of the work in the board, followed by all the people cheering. The project was called: ‘Getting to Know You’. Apparently she had no other ideas so she chose this. . .

 

“Hey, Gwen” Austin said, standing in front of my desk.

 

I smiled. “Hey Austin. How are you?” I asked.

 

He shrugged and casually put his hands inside his jean pockets. “Good, I guess. . .I was wondering if you would like to be my partner? I believe no one wants to be with me”

 

I giggled. “No one wants to be with you? Oh c'mon, they're dying to be on this project with you”

 

“How do you know?” he asked innocently.

 

“Well, judging by that bunch of girls around you, who are trying everything for you to notice them, I just guessed” I said, and he looked at his surroundings.

 

“Alright, honestly. . .I don't want to be with them, I want to be with you” he grinned.

 

“Umm, alright. . .Sit down next to me, partner” I said. He smiled and pulled a chair. I heard multiple girls sighing dreamily and some with pouts on their faces, it was actually kind of funny.

 

“Do you know what we have to do?” he asked, our legs brushing since the desk wasn't that big.

 

“Umm, we have to get to know each other some more and then make a report about our personalities. So, tell me about yourself” I said, and placed my elbows on top of the table.

 

We chatted about almost everything, while writing our answers. We finished it and gave it to the teacher very quickly. In fact, we were the first ones to turn it in. We talked for the rest of the class.

 

At lunch, I sat down at my usual spot, beside Dani. I was starving, so my tray was full of everything. I was talking to Dani about random things until I noticed some girls passing by, laughing and pointing at me, some glaring at me. Then I saw in another table, a bunch of girls and boys were looking at me with disapproval. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion and then stared at my almost empty tray. Why are they looking at me so much?

 

“Oh my God, have you heard?” I heard two girls gossiping while staring at me. I exchanged looks with Dani, both of us frowning.

 

Just then, one of the worst girls in the whole school approached me. Meredith Winston. Pure evil, her hobby is watching others suffer. I always try to ignore her, which is the same thing she does with me. Why would I lose my time with someone who doesn't deserve it? With someone that never cared for others but herself? But today, she was walking towards me, a grin plastered across her full–of–makeup face.

 

“Hello there, Gwen” she smiled wickedly.

 

“What do you want, bitch? Can't you see we're trying to eat without puking thanks to your cheap perfume” Dani said.

 

She scoffed and put her hands on her hips. “It’s Channel”

 

“Is that what the man from the gas station told you? Oh, you poor thing” my best friend said and I couldn't help but laugh.

 

“Whatever. I didn't come for you, you disgusting waste of life. . .I came for you, Gwen. I just wanted to know how are you?”

 

“What do you care?” I asked.

 

“Oh, you know. . .Being pregnant and all. It must be so tough for you, darling” she said putting on an innocent face. I froze and my jaw almost dropped to the ground. Is that why everyone is looking at me with disapproval and disgust?

 

“What?” I choked.

 

“Yeah, the whole school knows that, your bump sure is growing. Who's the daddy though? Tell us, you slut?”

“Get the fuck out of here, Meredith. Who are you calling slut, huh? At least we didn't have sex with the whole football team. So you should be careful before you speak” Dani defended me.

 

“But am I pregnant? I. Don't. Think. So” she said with arms crossed.

 

“No, but you sure must have a lot of STD's. Am I right?”

 

“Shut up, Danielle, I'm not talking to you. . .” Meredith rolled her eyes and turned back to me, with a devilish smirk. “So, Gwen. . .Is it a boy or a girl?” she clapped her hands. I shook my head and some tears rolled down my cheek.

 

“Shut up!” I said. But she just laughed, the whole cafeteria laughed, and it was the worst thing ever. “Who told you?” I asked, my voice cracking. She smirked and checked her nails before folding her arms.

 

“You should be careful where you speak about this subject, someone might over hear”

 

I felt so vulnerable, so humiliated, so stupid. . .I didn't know what to say.

 

Meredith took a step towards our table and grabbed a handful of pasta, placing it on top of my head, followed by water from the glass beside my tray. “Sluts and whores like you don't deserve any respect”

 

Now, I was crying hard. Dani gasped and covered her mouth with both of her hands. I took out of my head the remains of the pasta and then stood up from the table, running out of the cafeteria. Dani called my name, but I heard how someone was saying ‘hold her up’, so they didn't allow her to come with me. But honestly, I just wanted to be alone. . .

 

I've never been so humiliated in my entire life. . .

I walked out of the main doors of my High School, covered in sticky food and embarrassment. It was horrible. . .Suddenly, I heard my name being called. I turned around just to see Austin. He came rushing to me, with
