past present future (q.griggs) (incomplete)

Narrator's POV

Devyn woke up still feeling shitty, just not as bad as yesterday. The time was 5:33 am. The giant hoodie, the sweatpants, the night sweats, all just made her feel dirty, so she took an early shower.

She had forgotten about her new secret, only remembering once she began to strip her clothes off. She looked at herself in the mirror, where an underweight 96 lb girl stood. In her eyes, she saw a pig. As she stepped into the shower, her tears merged with the fresh water pouring down on her face. She'll take these minutes to forget about her problems.

She finished, avoiding looking into the mirror while changing into her clothes. She stepped out, glancing at Tony who slept shirtless. He let out a quiet snore. She left the room and headed downstairs to think of something to make the others for breakfast. She just has to seem normal for the others not to suspect anything.

She stepped into the kitchen, and of all people, Chase had to be at the counter, stirring something in a bowl with a big spoon. He took a quick glance at her, "Well hey there." He simply said. "Good morning."

"What the fuck do you mean good morning? You're a sick person." She stood on the opposite side of the counter.

"Woah, I'm just trying to be nice." He slightly raised his hands. "I shouldn't be, after you tried to rape me." His nerve.

"Rape you? You choked me out, and then raped me. That's why you have my necklace in your room. Charli showed me." She gave him a deadpan expression.

"She showed you then." He looked at the girl, then back down at his mixing bowl, "Well don't worry, it's not yours anymore. I'm giving it to her as an early anniversary gift."

Her eyes slightly widened. She gave him a 'really' expression. "You can't give that to her. My mom gave that to me when I was a child. She passed."

He shrugged, "Well you could always go get it yourself, but then Charli will know it's yours, and that we slept together if it was in my room."

She hates him. You could tell she hated him so much. "I'm pregnant." She blurted out. "I took a test, and I'm pregnant. If I tell them what you did to me, I know Bryce will make sure you go to jail."

His eyes slightly widened, "I'm gonna be a dad?" A smile tugged at his lips. He rushed over to her, and before she had a chance to react, he grabbed the back of her head and forcefully kissed her.

Instantly, she pushed him away. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" Disgust on her face.

"I'll leave Charli 'cause you're pregnant. We'll be together for good now." He stepped closer.

"I'm not keeping it. Why would I wanna have a baby with you?" She wiped her mouth of his germs. "You're fucking crazy, you're a rapist, you're a horrible person. I'm getting an ab-"

She was suddenly shoved against the wall by him, his hand gripping her throat, choking the life out of her. "You're not getting rid of this baby. We're staying around until I can find an apartment for us to move into. If you get rid of this baby, then you'll both be dead." Pure rage in his eyes. He could kill Devyn right then and there.

Her instincts kicked in and she used her arms and weakly tried to push him off of her. He suddenly dropped the girl to the ground, leaving her to gasp for air. Chase made his way back behind the counter as Devyn quickly left the kitchen.

She silently rushed upstairs, tears forming at her waterlines. She wiped them before going back into her room. Tony was still asleep. She put her AirPods in and laid back down in bed. She fell asleep to Jhenè Aiko.

On her back, staring at the ceiling, songs played and passed as she thought about nothing. Her brain was empty, not even focusing on the music she loved. Her life would change drastically in the next few months, and all she could do was wait for it to unfold.
