"We would make a better team if you could stop hating on me" Mary said interrupting Claire
" And what made you think I want to be friends with you?" Claire questioned her still sipping her drinks
" Because I want what's best for everyone and I know you want that too" Mary responded
" Meaning what exactly?" Claire asked Icily
" I know we started on a wrong track but I can tell when something is wrong" Mary said as she reached for the glass of soft drink on the table
" Really? Tell me what's wrong with me stranger" Claire asked pointing her full body towards her
" I know you are pregnant for Timmy and I can tell you are doubting if you should tell him or not " Mary told her
Claire quickly looked around in corners like a robber who had came to rob the bank
" What? That's not true" she said immediately
" Well it's your choice if you want to open up to me, I would have exposed your secret to anyone to make myself happy but I am not the way you pictured me to be. I just want the best for everyone who are friends with Kelvin " she told her after which she turn to the other side to leave...
" Wait Mary..." Claire said stopping her. Mary smiled before turning towards her
" Yes Claire" She answered
" You are right Mary. I am three weeks pregnant and Timmy is the father of the unborn baby, but I am not sure whether to tell him or not. I know he has been cheating on me but I don't think I can live without him" Mary whimpers softly
Mary reached for her face and silently touches it
" Everyone knows about it Claire, if it makes me a shitty person to say that nobody gives a shit about your feelings, so be it. They called you a friend and won't tell you he is a cheat, they probably see you as a laughing stock. And here you are dying in silence for someone that might break up with you once you tell him you are pregnant. He would probably say he doesn't deserve you" Mary said to her silently
" And what do you suggest I do?" She asked her
" Do you want to keep the baby?" Mary asked her
Claire was silent for few minutes" I don't know" she responded
" You hesitated, that means you don't want to keep the baby. I can follow you to the hospital if you want. I think you deserve better and you can't let anyone define you" Mary whispered to her ears.
" Wow, I can't believe they would get together " Timmy said from the table he was sitting on having fun
" I told you my girl is the best" Kelvin boasted
