Chapter Nineteen

Me: I have news. How soon can you guys meet?

Kamy: I have news too

Rayna: is this good news?? bad news???

Me: I have to tell you in person.

Kamy: I have to tell you in person

Rayna: i hate you both

…

Chris drops me off at Rayna’s house, and I go straight to her room. Rayna is literally mixing drinks on her vanity, and Kamy is sitting in the middle of the floor, hugging a pillow, looking like she’s going to throw up.

That could mean she has bad news. Is she sick again?

Maybe she should go first. Then my news won’t seem so bad by comparison.

God, that’s such a selfish thing to think. My friend could be dying, and I’m worried about being judged because of Benjamin freaking Oliver. Get a grip.

“Hey, Jessie,” Kamy says. Even her voice sounds bad.

I sit down next to her and put my arm around her. Tears are coming before this is over, I can sense it. Rayna plops down on Kamy’s other side, a wine spritzer in each hand. She gives one to me, and I take a sip.

Tingly. Tart. Perfection. She could have a side hustle as a barmaid.

“We’re here,” Rayna says. “Tell us what’s going on so I don’t have to guess anymore. All my guesses end with someone dying.”

Kamy gives a weak smile. “The only thing that’s dying is my life as I know it.”

I blow out a breath. If she still has a life, that’s all that matters. Whatever this is, we can help her through it. “What happened?” I ask.

“Todd…” Kamy starts.

Oh thank god, I’m not the only one with boy trouble. I should have known this was about boys. They are the root of all evil.

“Do I need to dismember him?” Rayna asks.

“No! He just…um…he kind of…proposed to me?”

“He what?” Rayna and I say at the same time.

Todd? Marriage? We’re teenagers, for fuck’s sake.

“Why the hell would he do something like that?” I ask her.

“Because…” Kamy starts, then stops to take a deep breath. “I told him…”

I lean into her, as if getting closer will help her say it.

“Oh my god,” Rayna yelps. “No way!”

I look back and forth between them. “No way what? What did I miss?”

Rayna points an accusing finger at Kamy. “She’s pregnant!”

“Pfft, no she isn’t.” I turn to Kamy. “Tell her she’s overreacting.”

Kamy looks at me, her mouth dropped open a little and eyes pleading. She shakes her head. “I’m pregnant.”

My jaw hits the floor. This isn’t just boy trouble; it’s the epitome of boy trouble. Stupid sexy boys and their dumb baby-making dicks. Why can’t we all be lesbians? Like that dinosaur movie where all of them were born female—they found a way to procreate without sperm, so could we.

“You’re pregnant,” I say. Even the word feels wrong. “With Todd’s baby?”

Kamy glares at me. “Who else’s would it be?”

“I’m sorry,” I say, then rub my palm up and down her back, and she softens. “I’m just trying to wrap my head around this. Don’t you guys use protection?”

“Only condoms,” Kamy says.
