You look cute in the kitchen
Can you face me just once?

Kierra:
Gosh
Stop until Kasey and Mom notice we're texting when we're just few feets away
The water's gonna boil in any minutes now

Guild:
Should I go near you, then?

Kierra:
No
Stay there
I'm trying not to mess up here

Guild:
It's fine
Be my mess

Kierra:

Take care
Have a safe drivee

Guild:
I will
Thank you

Kierra:
I'm sorry about Kasey messing up like that
Gosh, I can't believe she vomited and made it look like she doesn't like what I cook
Especially in front of you😫

Guild:
Your burritos are damn good, Kierra
She just have an upset stomach today
It's just a coincidence

Kierra:
Really?
Thanks

Guild:
Yeah
Thank you for considering healthy veg breakfast for me
I hope your sister gets well soon

Kierra:
My pleasure
Yeah
She does look pale
But don't worry, I'll take care

Guild:
Okay
I know you would

Kierra:
You should go
How many hours will it take to be back in LU?

Guild:
Less than six hours

Kierra:
You should take care
And have some stops
You should eat the lunch I prepared for you myself
That's a bonus 🙄😂
It was Mom who told me to cook lunch for you

Guild:
Yes
Of course I will 🙂
Haha
I'm grateful I left a good impression last month

Kierra:
You should
Mom really likes you

Guild:
How about you?

Kierra:
How about me?

Guild:
Never mind
I'll get going 🙂

Kierra:
Okay!
Drive safe 😊

Guild:
Talk to you later
🙂

Kierra:
Hyerin
I need your help

Hyerin:
Hey Kierraaa
Yes?

Kierra:
Can you go with me in the pharmacy?
You're the only one I know who can help me handle this situation

Hyerin:
Today?
What is it?

Kierra:
Yeah like right now

Hyerin:
Okaay
What for?

Kierra:
Help me
I'll buy a pregnancy test kit today
Your Mom bought one last December, right?
Can you help me buy too?

Hyerin:
WHAT THE FUCK
KIERRA CASSANDRA YOU MUST BE KIDDING

Kierra:
It's not what you're thinking

Hyerin:
HOW DID THAT HAPPEN
IS THIS ABOUT GUILD
HOW HAVE YOU GONE THIS FAR
YOU WERE JUST IN BAD TERMS AND THEN YESTERDAY YOU'RE FINE
AND NOW YOU'RE GONNA TELL ME
KIERRA
THIS IS WRONG

Kierra:
What the hell
It's not that
It's for Kasey
Not mine
How did you know about that?
Agh, let's not talk about it first
Kasey needs me

Hyerin:
OMG
SO IT'S NOT YOU

Kierra:
No

Hyerin:
I THOUGHT
BUT WAIT
SHE IS???
HOW???

Kierra:
I don't know
We're just having breakfast earlier
And then she threw up
I thought it was because my cooking was bad
But then she told me her stomach's just upset
So I didn't mind
And then she comes to my messages
Asking me to buy a pregnancy test kit
Like damn

Hyerin:
Oh my God
But 😫
Why now?
It's her final year in law school, right?
If that turned out positive
That'll be awful

Kierra:
Right, that's burden
Her boyfriend broke up with her before
And he left her like this?

Hyerin:
Damn that trash
Where is he now?

Kierra:
It doesn't matter
Kasey has no possible contact with him
Damn

Hyerin:
Does your mom knows about it already?

Kierra:
No
I can't tell Mom knowing her condition
We might just risk her health
Kasey and I haven't even confirmed it yet
And damn
I don't know what would I do if it turned out positive

Hyerin:
Keep calm, love
We'll work it out

Kierra:
Yeah
I just hope it's just an upset stomach

Hyerin:
Let's claim it 🤞
For now
Let's meet in any Watsons branch
The nearest in your house

Kierra:
I'll see you
Thank you ☹️

Hyerin:
I love you

Guild:
I'm here

Kierra:
Good to know
You should rest

Guild:
Yeah
I'm in my bed

Kierra:
You ate already?

Guild:
Yeah before going here

Kierra:
I see
Can I tell you something?

Guild:
You know
You shouldn't ask
What is it?

Kierra:
You know
It wasn't an upset stomach

Guild:
What do you mean?

Kierra:
Kasey's pregnant

Guild:
She is?

Kierra:
Yeah
I don't know how to react at all
Kasey's crying
She wasn't expecting it
I never thought so too

Guild:
Does her boyfriend knows?

Kierra:
He dumped her
A month ago
And now she told me they had unprotected sex before
Now Kasey's six weeks pregnant
And I can't imagine how hard could this be for her
For us
When we can't even tell our own Mom about it

Guild:
That's long
But don't you think your Mom has the right to know it?
Did anyone of you ever thought she is pregnant?

Kierra:
It wasn't obvious at all
She's not showing any signs
Until now
I'm sorry if I spilled this stress stuff to you
Kasey and I are scared
We cannot tell Mom
She's too vulnerable to hear such news
I know we're just preventing an inevitable
But how will we be able to tell Mom if it can send her a heart attack?
Damn
I'm scared, Guild
Legit scared

Guild:
Talk to me
Over the phone
