SZNS SERIES 1: Summer by Maria Writes (books for men to read txt) 📗

first the first time, is lost for words. She doesn't know what to say. She is not in the right position to judge or say something about her friend’s situation. What she could do is support her with whatever is best for her, but the decision is all on her.

"Caroline, I don't know what to say. I don't think it's a good idea, but maybe you should talk to Nate about this? Only the two of you could solve this. But whatever problem you face always remember, that this kid that you have, it may not look like a blessing to others, but he or she will light up your life. I can do this, just like every situation you've faced before, you'll conquer this one too. And you'll be great with it. So, if you're ready, you talk to Nate about this. Only the two of you could solve this whatever you are going through."

She hugged her friend tightly. Maybe if they are in a normal circumstance, both of them will surely enjoy this. But they've been through so much shit for the past couple of weeks. And those totally messed up their celebration for this wonderful new.

"You're gonna get through this, okay? Trust me. I won't tell a soul about it. Unless you tell me it's okay to tell. I'm always here for you. I'll be right here by your side."

Both of them calmed their selves and head out of the restroom and go back to the drama hall where everybody is waiting for them. So much for a ten-minute break. Everybody positioned their selves and started the play from the top. This time, it's perfection.

Chloe is happy that finally, they finished their play. It took them three months to do everything. Luckily for her, the team that they have this year really had their heart to what they are doing. She's sure that all of them are going to have they future they want for themselves.

But what about Caroline? She's wondering if she'll do a last-minute drop out because of her baby. She knows that by now her child's safety and condition should always come first. Will Caroline leave the school if she's finally revealing her bump? It is not her problem but she promised to help her friend in any way she can.

If she could only have a day off for being everybody's superhero. But whether she likes it or not, she cannot stop herself from helping other, especially her friends. It's like she's program to help other people that sometimes she's getting tired of it, but she cannot stop.

She took a deep breath and stood up to pack up her things. It's been a really exhausting day. Not just physically but mentally. She's burned out. All she wanted now after a very tiring day is a warm bath, tons of foods, and sleep.

Yes, that's what I should do.

They all went out of the hall and head home. The rest went out of the campus to support Britney on the club where she's working. She and Caroline walked side by side to the boarding house and was surprise to see Nate outside the house. Surely waiting for Caroline. He walked towards them while waving his hand.

"Hey, girls. Hi, Caroline. I was waiting for you. Wanna have dinner outside?" Nate asked as he drape his arm over Caroline's shoulder.

To their surprise, her friend shook her head and remove Nate's arm from her shoulder. "No, I'm good. You should leave. I need to rest." with that she entered the house without looking back.

Chloe looked at Nate whose shoulder fell and has a gloomy look in his face. She walked near him and pat his shoulder. She doesn't know why Caroline acted the way she did. Maybe she's not yet ready to tell Nate the news. If she's in her friend's situation, she'll be delighted by the news whatever the circumstances she's in. Chloe wanted to have children of her own but she knows that is very impossible because of the syndrome she has.

"Try again tomorrow, Nate. She's just tired. We've been rehearsing for our play the whole day. We don't have classes tomorrow, maybe you should ask her if she likes to go out. You wanna go inside? I'll cook dinner, you could eat here."

"Nah, I'm good. Thanks though. I'll be back tomorrow. Please tell Caroline to take care." Nate smiled at her before walking out. He's really sweet. Now she doesn't get why Caroline is distancing herself to him. She thinks Nate is the right man for her. But maybe that is not what Caroline think. Maybe she's still carrying a torch for Britany.

Though she never mentioned anything about her, she's sure that her friend still has something for her former lover. But she should know better than to judge her friend. Ever since she and Jesse started dating, she's lost track of what's happening to Caroline's life. They never had talks like they used to do before.

She went inside the house and started cooking dinner. Since it's just her and Caroline in the house so she didn't cook much. After frying the chicken, she placed two servings on a tray together with a glass of soda and a glass of water. Slowly carrying the full tray on her hands, she walked towards Caroline's room and knocked on the door using her feet.

After a few knocks, Caroline opened the door but not enough for her to enter. She's wearing her old PJs and had her hair on a messy bun. "Dinner?" she said. Caroline widens her open of the door and let her in. She placed the tray on the wheeled table and pull it toward the bed. Both of them sat on Caroline's bed and eat their dinner silently.

"Why don't I have soda?" Caroline asked. She attempted to grab her glass but she patted her hand.

"You're not allowed
