Chapter Sixteen

KIRA

Over the next two weeks, I try my best not to think about the fact that I am pregnant, and I need to decide if I want to keep the baby or not. I throw myself into work, taking on more and more workload than I have ever at any point in my life to help me forget. I think maybe if I ignore it long enough, then it’ll disappear, even though I know I’m being delusional.

But no matter how much I try, it stays front and center in my mind. Despite whatever I’m doing, that knowledge hangs over my head like a dark and stormy cloud.

Especially after what happened at the bakery with Evan.

Guilt and shame eat away at my heart, and I find myself crying to sleep every night because I have no idea what I'm supposed to do next. Shame because I have no idea how I'm ever going to face Lyle with his best friend's child inside me.

Most important of all is my confusion about how I feel. What do I feel for Evan? I was sure a few weeks ago that I hated him and wanted nothing to do with him, but that’s no longer the case. Watching him interact with Harley started a shift in the way I saw him and how I feel about him, but I have no idea where I stand now.

Whenever I think about him, there’s a warm feeling in my chest that I don’t know how to describe.

When he walked into the bakery that day, after my first reaction of shock, there was an unexplainable feeling of happiness that confused me. I mean, I had been actively avoiding him, so why did it make me happy that he sought me out to talk to me? Even though our conversation ended up getting on my nerves?

So, what exactly do I feel for my brother’s best friend?

Admiration? New respect? It couldn’t possibly be an attraction, right? Because that would be ridiculous. There’s no way I am attracted to Evan, right?

By the end of the third week, I was still not closer to making a decision than I was when I found out. If anything, I’m more confused and swarmed with more emotions than before.

I close up the bakery late on Friday night, reluctant to go home to my empty apartment and listen to the silence. After locking up, I get into my car and stop by the supermarket to grab some ice cream. On the drive back to my apartment, I realize I already know what I will do. Without realizing it, I had already made a decision as I picked ice cream flavors.

Over the past three weeks, while I avoided thinking about the pregnancy, I’ve been developing an attachment to the fetus in my stomach, and I’ve started referring to it as my child, and there’s no going back from there.

Anna is waiting for me outside when I get home.

“Thought I should check on you,” she says when I am within earshot.
