Chapter 67
Figured I'd do another little thing of drama on top of the one we already have ;) The song is DIEMONDS by $uicideboy$
(Hopes POV)
I wipe the trickling blood away from my open scar on my forehead as I struggle to get back up from the mat.
"Evan, I think we should take a break. We never go this hard when we're fighting with each other." Brian says taking a step closer to me. Evan holds an arm out to stop Brian from walking any further.
"We say stop until neither one of them can go anymore. Hope, get up, I know you still have some left in you." Evan says still holding out his arm. I want to lower my mask so he can stop being an asshole and end me already. Tyler reaches out his hand and helps me up.
"Evan I need a break, I honestly feel like I'm going to get sick here real soon." I look over to him as he doesn't even budge.
"Are you gonna tell Jordan or Seth that if you get into a fight with them? Hope, Brian and I watched you try and take on Jordan and saw that you couldn't. Tyler and David are the tallest guys we have and if you can beat them you can take on Jordan, now come on." I groan in pain as I get back into a fighting stance, Tyler doing the same.
I go to throw a punch at him but instead bring a hand to my mouth as I run out of the gym. I barely made it to the bathroom as I threw up in the toilet. As I was throwing up I heard the sink start to run next to me. I look over and see Brian running water over a washcloth. He turns off the sink and sets the cool rag on my neck as he starts to rub my back.
"You're done for today, I say so." I flush the toilet and go from kneeling on the floor to sitting on it, he still rubs my back as I wipe away the tears from throwing up.
"You've been complaining about feeling sick these past few days, are you sure you're feeling alright?" He asks. I nod my head as I bring my mask back up.
"Probably the serum leaving my body or something... hopefully. Maybe mines like a short time deal while Evans is a long time?" I suggest. He gives me a small smile and shrugs his shoulders.
"Whatever it is, you need a break. I hate seeing you just taking the beatings from Tyler. Evan's just pissed because he doesn't want to go after you every damn time there's a gang that wants to kidnap you." He says beginning to chuckle.
"I want her to hold her own till we get there to take care of things with weapons. Sorry for caring for the wellbeing of her." Evan says leaning against the frame of the door. Brian rolls his eyes and gives me another smile.
"Yes, so have her go against the biggest dude in the whole place. If you want to take care of herself practice shooting or knife combat." Brian looks back at Evan. He leans away from the doorframe and looks at me.
"Let's go then, I'll help you with knife combat for a while and Craig will work on shooting with you." I go to get up but Brian pushes me back down.
"She's going to take a break dude. She literally just got done throwing up, you need to chill out with all of this." Oh boy, another fight.
"Ignore him and get to the range." Again I go to get up and get pushed back down.
"You know you've been having a real shitty attitude toward everyone since you rekindled with Seth and Jordan again, even to her. She's not your fucking slave, she can do what she wants without you bossing her around." I swear I've heard this conversation before from these two before. I push Brian's arm away and get up from the floor, setting the rag back on the counter.
"I'm going to go find Autumn and Holly. Come find me after this argument is done children." I brush past Evan and go in the direction of the living room and kitchen.
I can hear her laughing in the kitchen with Holly and Brock. They were standing around eating chips and salsa as Holly was showing a picture to the two of them.
"Hope, look at this picture of us." Holly turns her phone and shows me the picture of high school us with Brian, Autumn, and Jell. I smile at all of us together and sit down at the barstool.
"You alright Hope? You're looking a little pale there." Brock asks as he slides me the chips and salsa.
"Well, I just got done throwing up if that helps anything. I've been feeling like shit these past few days and I honestly don't know why." I say laying my head on the counter.
"Maybe your pregnant." Autumn jokes. A rush of anxiety runs through me for some odd reason. I look over at her as she chuckles nervously.
"You're not, stop, don't even put that thought into your head. IUD remember." Even more anxiety runs through me as I sit up.
"Look, the colors coming back to her face now." Brock points out. Not helping Brock.
"It... has been over 3 years and... I do need a new one... now... I guess with everything that's been going I haven't really... you know thought about things like that." I begin to laugh nervously. Autumn groans out as she grabs the first set of keys on the counter.
"I'm not ready to be an aunt yet. Let's go you three." She twirls the set of keys on her finger as we look at her confused.
"Where are we going exactly? There's no WAY she's pregnant, when was the last time that you-" I cut off Brock before he could finish his sentence.
"At the playboy party about a week ago." I cross my arms and look at Autumn.
"Okay... and before that?" Holly asks. I look up towards the ceiling trying to think then snap my fingers.
"Roughly two months ago. When I got out of the hospital the first time after my coma, yeah that's when." Autumn zips up her jacket and walks toward the door. We reluctantly follow her.
"WE'RE GOING TO GET FOOD, WE'LL BE BACK SHORTLY!" Autumn yells into the living room.
"YOU JUST ATE TWO HOURS AGO HOOCHIE, WHAT THE HELL?!" Del yells back. I start to smile as Autumn flips him off and heads to the door.
"You at least use protection right?" Holly asks almost desperately. I suck in air through my teeth and slightly shake my head no.
"Its Hope, she sees a dick and gets more excited than the guy does." Autumn looks back at me and chuckles.
"I think you guys are taking this a little too far. She just got done practice fighting with Tyler. Maybe he just knocked the wind out of her and caused her to throw up." Brock says. We walk out into the cool night and toward Autumn's Raiden. I get in the passenger seat and sit back into the seat. Autumn gets in and starts the car up.
"Hey, it's better to be safe than sorry. I don't think any of us want a little Brian or Evan or whoever's kid running around until this shit is over with for good." Autumn says as we go toward mainland Los Santos.
Brock goes in with me into the convenience store and I awkwardly grab the first box of pregnancy test that my eye catches.
"You didn't have to come in with me, it just makes it awkward since like... you're like a brother to me," I say as we walk toward the only open register. I set the box down and pull out my wallet.
"Congratulations you two! Oh I hope that it's positive, you two just look like the perfect couple! Have you two been trying for long? I can tell you about some different positions that helped me out." She scans the box and hands it to me. "Is this your first one or third one? You two look fairly young so I can't tell. Me and my baby daddies did it every day, we weren't trying, it was just really fun!" She exclaims. Please for the love of god shut the fuck up!
"He's my brother." I blurt out. I hand her the 20 and tell her to keep the change as I walk out of the store, Brock awkwardly chuckling behind me.
"Now she thinks that it's mine, good going Hope." I get into the car again as Autumn looks at me confused.
"Do you really wanna do it back at the warehouse where a bunch of guys are? No offense Brock but I think you're one of us now. I mean this is Autumn and I's third time experiencing a pregnancy scare with her." Holly says to him.
"Oh... none taken, wait what?" He says looking up at me. Autumn and I get out of the car together and walk back into the store.
"It's in the back, figured you'd back in here." The lady at the counter says. Autumn and I walk to the back of the store.
I took all three of the test in the package and wait with Autumn as she scrolls through her phone.
"So I was thinking like if it's a boy, name him Brian Jr. B.J for short but we can't torture the kid like that because B.J is also short for Blowjob and he'll be made fun of for his name being short for blowjob. However, if it's a girl, name her after Holly or I. I mean if you name the kid after Holly I'd better be the godmother, vice-versa of course." Autumn says looking over at me. Ever since they brought up this idea of me being pregnant I've been feeling anxious since we were in the kitchen.
"You're really not helping me feel better. I'm not ready for a fucking kid especially with all of this going on!" My voice rising toward the end. She sets her phone on the sink and grabs onto my shoulders.
"And that's fine, if you are pregnant, Holly and I will take you in the morning to the abortion clinic, no big deal. Evan or Brian won't have to know nor anyone else." She gives me a reassuring smile as I nod my head.
"It's Evan who I'm worried about, he's been pissy since the party and it's starting to get on my nerves." She lets go of my shoulders and scoffs.
"Then make him jealous and be like 'if you don't straighten up, imma go back to Brian, watch me.' He doesn't own you girl, haven't you seen Jon and I toward each other? Once he starts acting all dominant I shut his shit down, although it turns him on, he doesn't get to act like that toward me." We share a laugh and end it with a sigh.
"Hey, I think it's been three minutes, you ready to check?" She asks. I take a deep breath and say yes. She gives me a smile and turns over the three tests. My phone starts ringing and I pull it out to answer it, putting it on speaker.
"Where you at, more like where are you, Holly, Brock, and Autumn at? None of them are answering their phones and Evan wants to do another quick meeting before we all head to bed." Brian says.
Autumn and I stare at the three plus signs on the small screen. Autumn quickly snatches my phone as I bite my lip and bring my hands to my mouth to prevent myself from crying.
"Hey bitch, why are you so clingy? Did Jon tell you to call her? JON IF YOU CAN HEAR ME I TOLD YOU WE'RE GETTING FOOD!" She yells. My heart was to the point where it was beating out of my chest as I continued to stare at the plus signs.
"No, I was calling to make sure you four weren't trapped in Jordan and Seths' basement. Why does it sound like you're in a bathroom? Is Hope alright? She threw up before you guys left." Brian says.
"No she's not alright, she just got done throwing up again. We're heading back now, see you soon." She ends the call and puts my phone back in my pocket.
"We'll go in the morning, alright? Let's go before he has the brains to think about why you're throwing up so much.
(Hollys POV)
The four of us walk quietly into the ongoing meeting and sit at the back of the room. None of us has said a word to each other since Autumn told Brock and I the results and the plan.
"Are you four good now? We ate a few hours ago, not to mention Hope's been trying to get back into shape, I don't think more food will help." Del says. Autumn glares over to the two in front.
"It wasn't her plan, it was mine thank you very much so you can yell at me and not her." She snips back. Hope scoots her chair closer to Brock as she lowers into the seat.
"Well I was trying to train with her, in fact that's what we're doing tomorrow. Training on hand to hand, gun to hand, and knife to hand combat. First thing in the morning." Evan says looking around the room.
"NO!" Hope stands up and yells. Brock and I help her sit back down.
"Yes Hope, we are. You got out the rest of today's but you're not getting out of tomorrows." Evan says crossing his arms.
"We have a girls day planned in the morning. Haven't had one in so long." I say smiling.
"Well you'll have to cancel it because we're trying to prepare for a fucking war right now," Del says. I stand up and slam my hands on the table, getting everyone's attention now.
"We took you in for Warren, we took Hope in two times, WE'RE FUCKING HELPING YOU RIGHT NOW! THIS GIRLS DAY IS HAPPENING IN THE MORNING AND YOU CAN TRAIN US UNTIL WE COLLAPSE INTO THE NIGHT. IF NOT YOU CAN KISS MY GANGS HELP GOODBYE." I yell out. I never yelled at my guy's before because they knew that if I did, it was serious.
"GIVE ME ONE FUCKING REASON ABOUT WHAT'S SO DAMN IMPORTANT ABOUT THIS GIRLS DAY AND I'LL LET YOU GO! FOR ALL I KNOW YOU'RE GOING BEHIND OUR BACKS AND TALKING WITH JORDAN OR JAMES!" Evan yells back to me. Autumn stands up now.
"At least let Hope and I go or Hope and Holly. If not, I'm calling off the wedding Jon and that's a promise AND a threat." The room goes quiet as Jon and Autumn have a staredown.
"I said give me a reason and-" Hope and Brock stood up now and stare at Evan.
"Jell my friend. You remember her, right Craig and David, the tattoo artist? Well... she's moving to Japan and tomorrow is her last day here in Los Santos. Autumn just told me before we got back here." Hope lies. I can feel the tension in the room as everyone looked at us like we were crazy.
"Fine, Brian go with them since you know Jell as well. Be back by noon." Evan sighs. Us three girls scream no.
"I'll go with them, you know I won't let anything happen to them. I kept Hope safe when Sydnee got us, I'll keep them safe then." Brock says. Jon and Evan share a glance at the other.
"But I want to say bye to Jell. I introduced Hope to both Autumn and Jell." Brian says.
"Well Jell doesn't want to say bye to you since you helped kidnap Hope back at the club. Is this meeting done with? I'm tired and need to go to bed." Autumn crosses her arms at the two.
"Yeah, go to bed everyone and get ready for tomorrow. You four be back by noon, understand?" Evan says looking between us, Hope nods her head and walks out of the room, taking off her masks.
