out the bed,” she said as she found her all wrapped up in the bedroom.
    “Leave me alone,” Selena said as she tried to pull the covers over her head again.
    “For once, I am in agreement with Melanie. You can’t stay in bed any longer. Where have you been? I’ve been calling you since yesterday.”
    Selena realized she was defeated, so she swung her legs over the bed and went into the bathroom. “I’m not feeling well.”
    “Is it Ethan?” Melanie asked, getting straight to the point once more. There was no answer. Selena came to the door of the bathroom with her toothbrush in her mouth. She pointed at it as the reason she couldn’t answer. Then she disappeared again, and the girls retreated to the living area to await her.
    Selena knew she could no longer keep her secret hidden, not from the prying eyes of Melanie or the discerning ears of Krystal. Together, they acted as her conscience and her rationale, the very things she could use less of now. She took more time than she needed getting ready, making the bed, and arranging things on her vanity chest.
    “Do you plan to get out of there anytime today? If you want, we can do this in here too,” Melanie said. “And don’t try to find another excuse for not coming out here; we already brought breakfast, and we made coffee.” She stood there looking blankly at Selena, until she followed her as if by some divine power compelling her.
    But it was then that Selena realized her mistake. She should have gotten out of bed sooner because then she would have escaped them witnessing the nausea she now felt rising within her, but she hadn’t suspected they would be coming over this soon either. She sucked in some deep breaths and held her stomach as she tried to calm it at will. It would seem her will was not as strong as her might, for no sooner had she started breathing again, her hands flew to her mouth, and she rushed to the bathroom. They both jumped up and chased after her, frightened by what they realized were true words she had spoken before; she was not well.
    They both watched as she hurled into the toilet bowl, and if there ever was a time when Selena felt like disappearing, it was then. When the feeling abated, she cocked her head to the side and caught the two pairs of eyes trained on her. “Sick, huh?” was all Melanie said before she walked off.
    Krystal said nothing at first, and then she went over to Selena and helped her off the ground. She rummaged in the medicine cabinet for Kleenex and handed the box to Selena. Then she fetched some disinfectant from under the sink and used it to wipe down the bowl after she had flushed away Selena’s too obvious evidence. When the place was decent enough again and Selena seemed more like herself, Krystal walked back to the living room. The silence was deafening as Selena joined them.
    “How did that happen?” Melanie was the first to speak.
    “It wasn’t planned,” Selena defended. “I was careless, OK?” she said as she plopped down on the sofa. “Now I don’t know what to do.”
    “You have to quit,” Melanie said.
    “No, she doesn’t,” Krystal said. “Why should she suffer for it? He already has the money. He can quit,” she pouted.
    “And what did the father-to-be have to say?” Melanie now asked Selena directly.
    Selena was quiet for too long. “He hasn’t said much to me since,” she admitted. “And he is carrying on as before like I don’t exist, and he doesn’t want me in the way.”
    “Get rid of it,” Melanie advised.
    “No!” Krystal shouted. “She is not getting rid of it. That’s a living breathing baby we are talking about. Selena, please tell me you haven’t thought of that. How far along are you?”
    “I’m not sure; about seven weeks. And I have thought about it.”
    “About seven weeks? You mean you haven’t gone to the doctor as yet?” Melanie asked.
    “What’s the point? She is only going to tell me what I already know,” Selena said. “What she cannot
