When Myra woke up, she realized that she had to tell family about her pregnancy, well, the only two people she knew to tell was Alice, and Drake.
And after hers and Drake's fight last night... She wanted to call her sister first, hopefully there will be less drama that way.
But then she remembered the controlling, threatening and basically, scary person her sister could be.
Nervous didn't even begin to describe how Myra felt. She then thought, if it was this bad telling her sister, how the hell will she tell Drake? When she heard her sister say "Hello?" Myra growled
"Meet me at the park, five minutes." and hung up.
Myra sighed, seeing her sister "You could at least wear something that's longer than your arms."
"And you could wear something hotter." Alice smiled at her little sister, "Just because your married doesn't mean you have to be boring." She rolled her eyes, as Myra pursed her lips, her hand moving up to her mouth slightly.
Even if she tried, it was impossible to hide anything from her sister. Alice sighed "This is why you don't fall in love, like a stupid little girl." She chided, "You end up having to go through a divorce." Myra tried to stay quiet, she hated upsetting her older sister, because Alice always won all the fights. "Well?"
"Its not my fault!" She snapped, glaring. "Okay? Its yours. You're the one that made us have to move in the first place. You're the one who said I couldn't tell anyone about what happened. You're the one who said we have to change names. You're the one who said we have to keep this secret!" Myra was angry, sad and felt alone all at once. "And its you're fault I'm in this mess. My husband left, leaving my love life in shards, I'm pregnant, a-and..." She sighed, tears filling her eyes and she looked down as Alice looked at her younger sister, shocked.
"I just don't know what to do." Myra rested her head on Alice's shoulder. "I-I can't be a single mom, I just can't. You know what happened to us and mom" She mumbled, her voice slightly muffled. Alice stiffened slightly
"That won't happen, and you know it." Alice spoke in a low tone, then sighed "Just go home, okay? Take a nap, or eat ice cream, or whatever pregnant women do." She offered a small smile, "I promise everything will be fine, and if you ever need to, tell your precious boy toy our secret."
Myra pulled away, and half smiled at Alice "Thank you, and I'm sorry I yelled at you." She mumbled.
"Take care of yourself, and the yelling doesn't matter. I'll talk to you later, there's something I have to do..."
And with that, Alice said goodbye, and walked off.
Instead of going home, Myra went to buy a few books for the new bookshelf she had delivered. She half wondered what Alice had to do, but it was probably best not asking...
The house felt eerily empty, that was something Myra always hated, the empty feeling being alone had. Being on her own made her mind wander, and think about things she doesn't exactly want to.
Playing guitar on the beach, peaceful and quite. The only noises are the sound of the waves, and the gentle strum of the six strings.Peaceful until someone comes up. He put his guitar down when he heard a woman call "Hey, you!"
"And you are...?" He asked, rudely. This woman looked somewhat familiar, almost reminding him of Myra.
"Alice." She answered simply, "You'll learn about me later. Stop hiding out here, and go back to your wife." She spoke harshly, obviously she was used to having things her way.
"You mean that secret keeping bitch?" He asked, angry. Alice glared at him
"That's my fault, not hers. And for some reason, she actually loves you, Lord knows why." She mumbled the last bit, then sighed. "Don't give up on her, or your family." Alice folded her arms.
"What?" He mumbled, surprised, Alice rolled her eyes.
"Don't act like an idiot, sweetie. You banged my sister without protection, you honestly think nothing would've happened?" She raised an eyebrow, as he started to feel a little sorry for Myra, having to have a sister like her.
He began to listen better to what this gothicy looking girl had to say. "I've told her that its okay if she wants to tell you hers and my secret, so you don't have to keep this hissy fit up." She sighed, and mumbled something under her breath about how everything would be easier if she was in charge and walked off.
Drake watched Alice go, and got out his phone. He looked at Myra's phone number, and called her.
Myra answered her phone when she heard it ring, not really bothering to look at the caller ID
"Hello?" She asked, wondering who it could be.
"Hey, its me." Drake was on the other end of the call, and Myra tensed a little, wondering if her sister had meddled, and made him speak to her again. "Can we talk?" He asked, Myra quickly responded by nodding, then felt foolish remembering he could see her.
"Uh, yeah. Just come over to the house." She spoke a little nervously, wondering what he wanted to talk about.
Myra went out to greet him, hugging him tightly "I'm sorry I kept secrets, its just..." She sighed, "Its complicated." She mumbled.
"Its okay if you don't want to tell me right now, but I want to know someday. We're married, and we're soon going to have a family, we shouldn't be keeping secrets from each other."
Myra stayed silent for the rest of the hug.
"Are you sure?" He asked, not wanting to be the one to make eye contact.
"I'm sure." She mumbled, staring straight on. "Like you said, we shouldn't keep secrets. I'll tell you about what happened before, and about my sister Alice." She sighed "Its not a short story though..."
