Chapter 35

Aaliyah

Standing in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection, I bit my bottom lip.

My eyes felt achy and weary, with the urge to cry. I wished I could scream, but it felt like there was a heavy lump in my throat stopping me. A sharp slice of pain cut through my chest. I felt pain and so much anger.

It's been a week since I learned I couldn't get rid of this pregnancy, and that I was also a hybrid. The news was a lot for me to take in. Throughout the week, I'd been sleeping a lot. Entire days passed in a blur of sleep. I squeezed my eyes shut for a moment before reopening them.

I wished I had never made love to Tristan that night. If I had held myself back, I wouldn't be in this situation. I shouldn't have let him touch me without protection.

A knock drew me from the mirror. The door opened, and Hayley strode in, closing the door behind her. She was dressed in black jeans and a black jacket.
