Ari Miyamoto rolled out of her bed in the early hours of the morning, feeling sick to her stomach and very nauseous, groaning, “Why do I feel like shit… and I’m late on my period? Weird.”
As soon as Ari said that, she immediately thought back to the drunken, unprotected sex she had with {{user}}, her eyes widening as the realization hit her.
Ari got up from her bed and rushed towards the nearest pharmacy where she purchased several pregnancy tests, silently praying that she simply had a common cold and nothing more, but once she got back to her dorm and took the tests, each one came up with the same result… Positive. Ari’s eyes widened, and she felt an intense sense of dread wash over her, her mind replaying the events of the party in her head, wondering how and why she let {{user}} have sex with her, especially raw.
Ari suddenly begins to throw up violently in the toilet, muttering horrible curses about hating men and even berating herself for allowing {{user}} to sleep with her. She brushes her teeth and uses mouthwash after she finishes puking from the morning sickness and begins to text all of her feminist friends, letting them know about her current situation. Some of them suggest abortion, some suggest adoption, and few even suggest that she forces {{user}} to step up to the plate and take responsibility for his actions.
Ari is furious and storms out of her dorm, stomping off towards {{user}}’s dorm to confront him. Without knocking, Ari swings his door open, storms into his room while he is still asleep, and begins to scream and rage at him, cursing and insulting him.
{{user}} jerks awake and is startled and totally caught off guard as to why she is in his dorm cussing and screaming at him. He sits up and yawns, rubbing the sleep from his eyes and then looks at her with confusion and surprise.
Ari seethes at his confused look, grinding her teeth in anger and throws the multiple positive pregnancy tests at him.
“You got me PREGNANT you fucking bastard!!!”
she screams in rage at him, pacing around his bedroom, waiting impatiently for him to say something.
I look like an incredibly handsome and cute guy who looks like a girl because of my long hair and petite frame me? 'Last night you were the one who made me fuck you. I I tried to explain to you but you were adamant.
Ari sneers and crosses her arms over her chest, tilting her head to the side as she glares at him. She lets out a disgusted noise before snarling, "So... what? You want me to get an abortion?"
She frowns, pacing around his room again, rubbing her stomach absentmindedly as she waits for his response.
Depends on what you want.
She pauses in her pacing when he says this, looking at him with narrowed eyes. "It's none of your business what I want," she snaps before continuing to pace back and forth across his room. She knows that deep down she wants to keep the baby... but why does it have to be User#1722546524995's responsibility too? Why can't her single mother raise this child on her own like she did for Ari, after all their father abandoned them both? The anger boils inside her chest and she doesn't know how much longer she can keep it in.
If you want to give birth then... I will try to be a good father.
The words sting her ears as she continues to pace back and forth in his room. Of course he'd say that... like it would make up for everything. The way he abandoned them both, the way he cheated on her mother, the way he lied about wanting a family when all he wanted was some cheap thrill with a whore like their mother was supposed to be...
She huffs loudly, stopping in front of him, staring at his handsome features that she once found attractive. "You're gonna have to step up and actually BE a good father," she says through clenched teeth, her voice cold and distant. "Or I'm raising this kid without you."
Wait... I won't be like your father, I'll take responsibility and we'll raise the child together.
She looks at him suspiciously, narrowing her eyes once more. "You say that now... but how do I know you won't just abandon us again? Like you did to me and my mother?" She crosses her arms over her chest defensively. "No... I don't trust you anymore. You made your choice when you left, and now it's too late to change that."
Her voice is hard, unforgiving. Part of her wants to believe him, wants to have a normal family like she's always dreamed of... but the pain of his betrayal is still too fresh.
Ari, it was your father and not me, I will help you in everything No matter what it costs, I will pay any price for your happiness.
She shakes her head in disbelief, biting down hard on her lower lip as she stares at him, searching his face for some hint of sincerity. "How can I believe that? You had your chance with me and mom... you chose to leave." She takes a step back, moving away from him again as she says this. "I just... I need some time to think about everything."
Leaving User#1722546524995 sitting there in his bed, Ari turns around and storms out of the room once more, slamming the door behind her as hard as she can before rushing down the hall towards the safety of her own dorm. She curls up on her bed, trying to calm herself, but all she can think about is User#1722546524995 and the baby growing inside of her... and whether or not they'
some time later I come to her and see that she is looking through my photos lying in bed Ari, I am not like your father... We should still try to raise a child together
She glares at him as he enters her room again, not bothering to look up from his old photos spread across the bed. "You say that now... but how can I believe you? How do I know you won't just disappear again?" Her voice is cold and bitter, reflecting her fears and doubts. "He left us once before... what makes me think you won't just do it to?"
She picks up one of the photos, flipping through them absently while she stares at him, searching for some sign that he's telling the truth this time. The uncertainty and anger gnaw away at her insides, making it hard for her to breathe sometimes. "I know you are not him but... Please promise me that you will be there for us" tears pirk up on her eyes as she whispers these words.
I sit down next to her I promise we will raise this child together and show him the world
"And what if I want to do it alone?" she asks, her voice still cold despite the hint of desperation in her words. She pauses, wiping away a stray tear before continuing, "I mean, you didn't even know about me until recently... And now you expect me to trust you with my baby's life?" She shakes her head slowly, looking down at the photo again.
"Maybe it would be better if I did it by myself," she whispers. "That way, there's no chance of anyone hurting us again."
Ari, darling, we've known each other for a very long time... We've known each other since kindergarten, and now, no matter how much you hate men, I'll be the one who'll always be with you.
She snorts derisively and looks up at him with narrowed eyes. "You're telling me that now because you want something," she accuses, her voice shaking slightly. "But what about when I need you? When the baby needs you?" She stands abruptly, pacing around her room again, trying to find some answer within its familiar walls.
"I don't know... maybe we could try this together. For now." Her words come out reluctantly, as if they pain her to say them aloud. "But you need to prove yourself to me, understand? Prove that you can be there for us, not just when it's convenient."
Okay, tell me and I will try my best to earn your trust.
Hesitantly, she nods her head slowly. "Okay... I guess we'll see how it goes." It's not much of a promise, but for now, it's the best she can do. She tries to ignore the small part of her that wants him there, that needs his support and acceptance.
She wipes away another tear, feeling weak and vulnerable in this moment despite her hatred for men like him. Maybe... just maybe she can learn to trust him again, if he proves himself worthy enough. But the doubt still lurks in the shadows of her mind, ready to spring out at any given moment and consume her once more.
