2x23: I'm barely breathing
Rachel was lying in बिस्तर crying with Rana and Atie sitting outside her door. Atie had texted Liam that maybe it wasn’t a good idea for him to spend the night after all.
“Should we go in and check up on her?” Atie asked.
Rana groaned and threw her head back, “I don’t know. Right now I just want to puke.”
Atie sighed, “What is life. One of my sisters just broke up with the प्यार of her life and my other sister is knocked up द्वारा her not even boyfriend. I need alcohol.” Atie mused.
“Alcohol sounds so good right now.” Rana mused.
“You can’t.” Atie कहा raising her eyebrows, “It’ll hurt the baby.”
“The baby I don’t even want?”
Atie sighed, “Did आप decide द्वारा the way...on what you’re going to do?”
“I don’t know.” Rana groaned. “But now I’m forced to deal with it tomorrow because आप opened up your big mouth and told Robb.” Rana hissed.
Atie shrugged, “I was just trying to help.”
“So आप tell our sisters ex boyfriend? Do आप know how bad Rachel is going to flip if she ever finds out we went to go see Robb?”
“You could just tell Rachel.” Atie कहा knowingly.
They both suddenly heard Rachel gasp and then hysterically start to cry again. “Yeah, sure, let me tell my already दिल broken sister that her 19 साल old little sister got knocked up द्वारा a punk.”
Atie rubbed her head, “Yeah, maybe we should hold off on that.”
They both sat in silence for a couple of और मिनटों listening to Rachel crying hysterically when Atie got up, “I cannot take this anymore!” She groaned. “Come on we’re going in there.”
“Hell no!” Rana exclaimed. “I don’t do crying people and sensitivity.”
Atie glared at Rana, “Well can’t go in there alone. आप know I’m going to say something dumb and probably make her cry even more.”
Rana rolled her eyes, “Fine.” She grumbled getting up. They both slowly tip toed into the room when Rachel spoke up in a hoarse voice, clearly still crying.
“I’m fine. So आप two don’t need to worry about me.” she sobbed.
Rana turned towards Atie, “See, she’s fine.” She whispered.
Atie pinched Rana, “Shut up.”
Atie and Rana both sat on the either side of Rachel. Atie smiled at Rachel, “Rach, आप need to stop crying and eat something.”
“I’m fine.” Rachel sighed. “Really, I just need a couple of days and I’ll be fine.”
Atie sighed and looked at Rana, “Say something nice.” she mouthed.
Rana sighed, “Rach, I know आप loved this man but आप did the right thing. I know it hurts and I know it’s not fair but for now आप need to distance yourself so he can figure out this drama with his family. And then when things work themselves out and they will आप two can get back together.”
“Yeah, what she said.” Atie agreed nodding her head.
“Then why does everything hurt?” Rachel asked. “Thinking about him hurts. प्यार hurts.”
Rana sighed, “Love sucks, man.”
Atie threw a तकिया at her sister, “Not helping!”
Rachel’s phone went off and she groaned burying her face in her pillow. “That’s like the tenth time he’s called. I can’t deal with this right now.”
“Okay, आप know what. आप try to get some sleep and Atie and I will take your phone.”
“Okay.” Rachel कहा softly.
“Okay.” Atie कहा कहा nodding her head. Rana grabbed Rachel's’ phone and her and Atie left the room.
Once they were gone Rachel pulled the covers over her head and began to sob again.
The अगला morning Rana and Atie got out of the apartment, sneaking out before Rachel would wake up. She had cried up until at least 5 am, so she was exhausted.
Rana and Atie made their way to Robb’s office, both feeling utterly awkward. And when they entered to find Robb with his head buried in his hands, looking completely heartbroken, they felt even और awkward.
“Hello”, Atie said. “We’re here.”
Robb looked up, sighing. “Right”, he cleared his throat. “How’s Rachel?”
“We’re so not here to talk about her”, Rana said. “Can आप just promise to not tell anyone about the pregnancy?”
“What are आप going to do about it?” Robb asked. “Are आप going to keep it? Is Jasper the father?”
“You so don’t know me well enough for those sort of questions”, Rana snorted.
“Rana, be nice, he’s a grown up and he’s trying to help”, Atie whispered.
“A grown up utterly controlled द्वारा his mommy”, Rana snapped.
Atie groaned. “I think she doesn’t want to have an abortion, because we’ve never liked that option. But obviously she can’t just raise it. She has school!”
“So, what then?” Robb asked. “Adoption?”
“Maybe”, Rana sighed. “I haven’t decided yet.”
Robb groaned. “You have to at least tell Jasper”, he said. “He has a right to know, and I think he’d want to help.”
“Nope”, Rana said. “No. He’d just get all committed. I do not want that. All I want is to get out of here and go back to California, alone.”
Atie’s face fell. “You can’t leave me alone with her, not now”, she कहा in a low voice. “This is the worst timing ever.”
Robb tensed, glaring at the तालिका, टेबल in front of him. “If आप could just tell her-“
“I am not telling her anything for you”, Rana said. “And as soon as आप promise to keep your mouth shut, I never have to see आप या your stupid family again.”
Robb looked at her with a glare before saying: “I won’t tell.”
“Good”, with that Rana stormed off. Atie, on the other hand, gave him a small smile. “She needs time.”
“Which one?”
“Both of them”, Atie said. With that she followed her sister out.
That evening, since Rachel had only emerged out of the room to cook them रात का खाना and gone back to teary sleep, Rana and Atie invited Liam and Jasper over. They sat around the रसोई, रसोईघर table, eating the खाना silently.
“So, is she at least going to keep the money?” Liam asked.
“We haven’t dared to ask”, Atie whispered. “Maybe we should take it to the bank before she decides to give it away.”
“Good idea”, Liam smiled, taking her hand in his.
Rana rolled her eyes, focusing on her food. All the lovey dovey stuff just didn’t sit right with her now.
“Are आप okay?” Jasper asked. “You’ve been अभिनय pretty weird lately.”
“I’m always weird, Jasper”, Rana कहा lightly. “Eat your food.” She gave him a smile, but it was fake and Jasper saw that, too. But he कहा nothing and together the four of them ate in silence, wondering what on earth to do next.
