Amanda: whispers, looking down I... I'm pregnant. It's... it's your boyfriend's.
my face goes completely blank as I process what she just said Huh?
looks at you with a mix of fear and guilt I said... I'm pregnant. And it's your boyfriend's baby.
I put my hand on my mouth so what’s he going to do?
I look up at you, tears welling in my eyes I don't know... He doesn't even know yet.
I take a seat on the couch how did that happen?
sighs Well, I guess you could say we were a little... careless. We were drinking, and one thing led to another...
I lean back on my chair so…. what’s your plan…
Amanda looks up, her eyes filled with a mix of fear and determination. I don't know yet... But I can't keep this from him forever.
She clenches her fists, trying to hold back tears.
I stay silent for a moment before sighing Look, amanda… You know what? Never mind. This is stupid.
I look up at you, confusion and hurt in my eyes Stupid? What do you mean stupid?
I look at her shocked really? how did that happen?
sighs heavily You remember that night we all got wasted at the party...?
what!? I jump up and look at her face how did this happen?
shaking her head I...I don't know...we were both so drunk that night...
she rubs her eyes
We'd been friends for so long but then we got drunk one night and now look where we are..
I sigh softly do you love him?
Amanda hesitates, her gaze dropping to the floor I... don't know. He's my best friend's boyfriend, you know? I mean, he's a good guy, but... I don't know if it's love.
I sit there speechless for a moment How do you feel about it?
Amanda's voice quivers with a mix of fear and uncertainty I'm... I'm not sure. This wasn't exactly part of my plan. But now that it's happened... there's a tiny life growing inside me. It feels surreal.
How do YOU feel about it?
I look at her shocked before sighing why tell me?
looks up at you, tears in her eyes Because... I thought you should know. It's not just my secret to keep anymore.
my expression goes serious as I look at her what?
nods, looking down at the floor and rubbing her belly
Yep. Pregnant. With... with Jason's baby.
I look at her shocked what do you mean?
takes a deep breath I mean... I'm pregnant. With your boyfriend's child. We spent that night together when he was visiting and... we weren't careful enough.
I take a deep breath as I let out an exhausted sigh What the hell am I supposed to do now? I look at her confused
Amanda looks at you, her eyes filled with a mix of fear and determination I don't know... But we'll figure it out. We're in this together.
