Amelia's POV

I gurgled and cleaned my mouth with water after I emptied all contents of my stomach in the toilet. Then I wiped my face with a clean towel. My throat was burning from vomiting, I can still feel the bitter taste on my tongue.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror, my face looks too pale. Ever since I got pregnant I left drinking my favorite caffeine. I can't even tolerate its smell due to nausea.

Gosh, I'm so tired. Even I'm feeling dizzy.

I had already skipped my lunch, now I had emptied my breakfast in the toilet. In short, there is no energy left in my body. Damn, I'm feeling so weak.

Still, I tried to walk by holding the wall. But I couldn't see anything in front of me due to dizziness. Everything seemed blurry in front of my eyes. I stopped and tried to calm myself. Then I tried to walk again but before I could, everything turned blank in front of my eyes.

Two Months Earlier,

As I unlock the door and entered the house, I found Camellia and Jane sitting at the table and eating breakfast. Seeing me, they stopped eating and quickly rushed to me.

I called before an hour and told them about my situation. They were really worried when I called them. But knowing that I was fine, they calmed down a little.

"Where were you, Liah? We called you so many times last night. Why didn't you pick up our calls?" Camellia asked looking at me worriedly.

I sighed, "Do you want to know that when you're having breakfast?" I asked looking at them.

They both looked at my wrinkled dress and then nodded their head in understanding.

"Okay, fine. Let's talk after you freshen up." Camellia said in a strict tone.

"And we want all the details," Jane said winking at me. Camellia sighed at Jane's antics. I just ignored her and went to my room.

Shutting the door loudly, I stood leaning on it and sighed frustratedly.

Shit! What I have done? How could I---

I hold my hair with my hand in frustration and let out a small scream while kicking on the door.

"Ouch! That hurts like a bitch!" I muttered holding my injured leg.

God Amelia! You have lost your mind!

"Amelia, control yourself! Whatever happened... it happened already. You can't change that. Now let's get freshen up and clean yourself." I tried to calm myself.

Then I looked at my dress which was wrinkled and messed up. Damn, I ruined my new dress.

Sighing, I took a baggy t-shirt and pants from the wardrobe and went to the washroom. I took a long shower, if it would be another day then I wouldn't have taken that much time. But as it was Sunday, so I didn't care about the time.

The shower helped me to calm myself and it felt quite refreshing. After showering, I wore my clothes and dried my hair with the hairdryer. Then I went out to grab something, although I had breakfast with that guy before coming here. But eating with a stranger after we did (let's not talk about it) was something unexpected. But the guy didn't give me a chance to say no, so I had to agree. But I couldn't eat much, thanks to alcohol.

Although my headache subsided thanks to Advil, my stomach -- condition wasn't that good. So, I need to eat something to make my stomach feel good. Coming out of the room, I found my friends sitting on the couch and watching a movie. They turned towards me hearing the sound of the door opening.

I give them a cheeky smile and went to the kitchen. I opened the fridge when I heard Camellia's voice.

"You know, you can't ignore us," she said loudly.

"You have to tell us everything eventually," Jane said agreeing with Camellia.

"But what's there to tell?" I asked grabbing the milk carton while walking towards the table. I took out a bowl and poured cereal then poured milk on it. Grabbing a spoon, I walked towards them and sat down on one side of the couch.

"You know, the details!" Jane said, looking at me with curiosity, "How did it happen? How it was? And most importantly who is he?"

Both looked at me with curiosity, the excitement was visible on their face.

"I don't want to." I shrugged my shoulder nonchalantly and started eating.

"You have to. We want to know who's the guy, who managed to woo The Amelia Dawson." Jane winked at me, I cringed at her words.

Why does she have to say it like this? It's not that big thing like that.

"Guys, the thing- I don't remember anything," I said after a pause, they looked at each other then they looked at me.

"You don't remember?" Camellia asked turning to me.

"Anything?" Jane asked trying to confirm, I nod my head.

"I just remember the part about kissing, but after that nothing," I said nervously.

"Okay, but who's the guy? Do you know him? " Camellia enquired.

"No, he's just a stranger and it's good. If he's someone who knows then it would be more awkward." I answered. They nod their head in understanding.

"By the way, did you get his number?" Jane asked, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"No! I don't want to meet him again. I'm already so embarrassed, I don't want to embarrass myself more." I said finishing my bowl and getting up from the couch.

"Why not? You could have to go out with him," she said in her sad voice.

"Jane, it's just a one-night stand. Why would he hang out with me?" I asked, and she pouted at me. I shrugged and walked towards the kitchen.

Cleaning the bowl on the sink, I kept it in its place and grabbed a water bottle. Pouring the glass with water, I started to drink when Camellia spoke up.

"By the way, how did you come home? Your purse and phone with Jane. Even you called us from---" I started coughing hearing those words.

Jane and Camellia got up and came to me, they both rubbed my shoulder gently. I tried to calm down. Jane grabbed the glass from my hand and keep it on the table.

After a few minutes, I stopped coughing. I breathed a sigh of relief. Then I looked at my friends who were looking at me suspiciously.

"Why are you so shocked hearing my questions? You are hiding something, right?" Camellia raised her eyebrows at me.

"Guys, actually-----"
