|Niccolo|

She left through that door and I wish I had kissed her.

I walked back to the living room, where Camilla and Virginia were awaiting my presence.

I never really knew how much I needed to end this.

I think now's the time to break it off with her.

I can't live a lie.

I won't live a lie.

Camilla went to her room, seeing that Virginia was getting cozy next to me.

"Tell Serena to back off. You're mine". Virginia whispers in my ear.

I froze.

Did she see us in the hallway?

"Don't worry about her, Virgi". I tell her.

"I have some news for you, Nicco". 

"What is it?"

She inches closer.

"You have to promise me that you tell Serena to back off after I give you this news.." Virginia whispers.

I tensed.

"I'm pregnant". She says slyly, a small smirk on her face.

My eyes widened.

No she isn't..

Right?

"What?.." I ask, my voice trembeling.

"Aren't you happy?" She asks, her eyebrows furrowing.

"What about school, Virgina?" I ask, closing my eyes.

"We'll figure it out.. but you will help me, right?" Virginia asks, her eyes worried.

"Yeah.. I will. We'll figure it out". I agree, uncertain.

There was silence.

Ugly silence.

"What do you mean by 'you're pregnant'?" I ask, still processing.

"I'm late". She says quietly.

"Isn't that normal?"

"I'm very late.."

My heart sank.

I can't leave her.

That would be horrible of me.

It's my doing.

Now I have to step in and take responsibility.

How am I going to tell Serena?


|Serena|

I headed to Marco's.

Thoughts of Niccolo flooded through my head. 

What we did.

The tension.

We simply wanted to be together.

I opened the front door, where Marco was sitting on the couch, a bundle of tissues and a blanket while a random show played on the TV.

"Hey Marco". I say, in a joking flirtatious tone.

"Hey Serena". He dishes back, in the same tone.

"Do you need drugs again?" I ask, referring to medicine.

"Nah. Just an anvil to drop on my head." He remarks, rubbing his eyes.

"Would a punch in the face do the job?" I ask.

"Possibly".

I sat down next to him on the couch.

"How was Camilla's?"

"Let's just say there's a Niccolo in my future". I say, finding myself smiling a little.

Marco's  eyebrows raised up.

"Did you two.."

"Once.. We kissed once".

"That's some news". Marco says, suprised.

"Yeah.."

"He better not break your heart, Serena".

"I don't think he will."

"For the sake of his pretty face I hope you're right". Marco says sternly.

Should I finally pursue something with Niccolo?

Do I tell him?

"Are you two going to.." Marco trails.

"I want you to help me write a text to Niccolo." I interrupt.

Marco thought for a moment.

"Okay."


TEXT TO: NICCOLO

SERENA: hey look, after today i felt something. and i know you did too. where should we go from here? 



I drop my phone to the couch.

I closed my eyes and put my head on Marco's shoulder.

"I don't know why I'm so nervous." I admit.

"He loves you, Serena. Don't worry."

I exhale.

I turned my phone on, still no reply.

"He's just busy". Marco assures.

I lift my head off his shoulder.

I groaned, and tossed my phone across the couch.

"I need a distraction." I say.

Marco flipped the channel to Netflix.


|Niccolo|

My phone dinged.

VIrginia was still next to me.

It had been an hour since she told me, and I still was shaken.

"Who's that?"

"Probably just Brando". I cover, seeing Serena's name pop up.

I swipe the nonifacation away.

I'll deal with that later. 

Virginia left to use the restroom, and I took my phone and opened it.


SERENA: hey look, after today i felt something. and i know you did too. where should we go from here?



I never felt so horrible in my life.
