"Tina's pregnant."

Ovaries: HOLY MOTHER OF JESUS WHAT THE ACTUAL FU-

"Is it your-" I didn't get to finish asking that question before both boys screamed in a really high-pitched manner and jumped away from me.

"HELL FUCKING NO-"

"What the hell Livi."

"WITH THE ABOMINABLE SHIT GOBLIN? FUCK THAT SHIT!"

I blinked as I stared at them freaking out and tilted my head to the side in amusement and confusion. They kept letting out a bunch of curse words with disgusted expressions planted on their faces.

Blake calmed down a few seconds later but Cole, on the other hand, was still not over it.

"Fucking nasty ass deodorant-needing zombified piglin w-"

"Cole!" I cut him off.

"What?"

"We get it..." I sighed. They're so dramatic.

Well, she kinda did try touching Cole's junk in class multiple times, triggered a zillion of my panic attacks, and physically and verbally bullied me.

"Have you ever just thought of, I don't know, maybe ridding yourself from this world? I'm sure it would do everyone a favor."

She also told me Blake slept with her...

And Blake mentioned he had some fling with her during the summertime a year ago

Speaking of that... "Why are you acting so disgusted if you actually slept with her befo-"

"That was a year ago, Muffin." Blake ran his fingers through his hair. "A lot can happen in a year..."

"But didn't you just sleep with her two months ago?" Okay, why did I ask that? It's none of my business.

Blake knit his eyebrows at that and Cole stared at him with his mouth agape. "What?" Blake asked.

I'm confused...

"He doesn't give a fuck about you, Olivia, or at least that's what he said to me in bed last Saturday night"

"She told me you guys... y'know... that Saturday night," I said, choosing to ignore the first part of what she said.

"What the fuck? What Saturday night?"

"When Cole was with Lizzie at their parents' house because it was their last night in Rosewood." I answered, "We were alone and then you had to leave..." I trailed, waiting for him to catch on.

I guess Blake remembered because his mouth slowly formed into the shape of an O and he shuddered. "Oh, my fuck that's disgusting..." He said under his breath.

"What?"

"I didn't fuc- sleep with her that night Livi. She's my fucking step-sister for god's sake. It's disgusting that she would even make up a lie like that,"

Cole just stared at us. I think he was in shock.

I frowned in confusion; why the hell would she lie ab- wait.

"Wait how did you have a fling with her last summer if she's your step-sister and you're that disgusted?"

Blake hopped onto the counter, "Because Anna, my adoptive mother, married Steve, Tina's dad, only a few months ago. That's why the 'zombified piglin' came back to Rosewood. There was a family emergency that Saturday night and I had to leave, Tina was there, of course."

Oh... OH.

I just realized that Blake never got to tell me about the fourth family that took him in last night and I'm assuming Anna was the mother in that family, the half-Italian one.

"I can't believe she actually lied about that! What the fuck?!" Cole finally spoke again.

"When and why did she even tell you that?" Blake softly asked me.

I gulped and looked away, shrugging, "I don't know." I lied.

Blake gave me a certain look and nodded his head slowly, brushing past it. I just know that he'll be asking me more about it later when we're alone.

"How'd you know she's pregnant?" Cole turned to Blake.

"Anna sent me a text," He answered.

"Do they know who the father is?"

Blake shook his head and reached for one of my blonde wavy curls, playing with it. "I'm not sure. I think Tina would know though, I'm just guessing she's not ready to tell them or something."

Cole nodded his head and eyed Blake playing with my lock, attempting to hide a wide soft smile of his but failing, so he just turned around to hide his face and began walking away, "I'll be waiting for you guys in the living room."

Blake kept playing with my waves from behind as he sat on the counter for a little more before I felt him wrap his legs around me to pull me closer so that I'm situated in between his legs, my back still towards him.

He ran his fingers through my hair from the top then gently tugged so my head could be tilted upward. He kissed my nose from that position and then landed a soft kiss on my forehead.

"Can I tie your hair up, Tesoro?" he smiled down at my tilted head. (Darling/Treasure)

Ovaries: HE USED IT ON US! HE USED IT ON US! FUCKING SAY YES- Oh my god, that was hot. SAY YES!

"Y-yeah sure," I said without thinking, even though a big big big part of me wanted to cry from the abundance of insecurity I know I'll be feeling.

Blake suddenly turned me around quickly and held my face with his large palms. I looked away from him, still internally freaking out over how repulsed I know he'll be when he sees my face without the front locks covering the edges of it.

"Livi?" He whispered, brushing his thumb over the apple of my cheek.

Don't think about how he can literally feel the ugly chubbiness there. Don't think about how he can literally feel the ugly chubbiness there.

He gently tilted my head with his palms so I could make eye contact with him and kept brushing his thumbs over my cheeks. He intensely gazed into my eyes for a few seconds before he slowly shook his head and kissed both my cheeks.

"I changed my mind." He smiled. "Don't want me ruining your hair and knotting the locks because of some failed attempt of doing something with it now, do we, Leprotto?"

Confusion hit me all of a sudden and I no longer felt sick with apprehension. Didn't he tie my hair perfectly that one time in the school's girls' bathroom after Tina left me a crying mess?

My thoughts were cut off when he brushed both front locks behind my ear and leaned forward to whisper something in them, "Will you let me knot your hair another time, though?"

I gulped as I slowly nodded my head and I could feel his lips spread wider over my ear, "Perfetto." (Perfect)

He then hopped off of the counter, kissed my temple, and locked his fingers with mine, pulling me towards the kitchen doorway, "Now let's not leave Cole waiting, hmm?" He squeezed my hand.

"Oof that was a quickie," Cole said as soon as we entered the living room, making my eyes widened.

"Fuck off." Blake said in low voice, "Did you pick a movie yet, or are you choosing to be useless tonight?"

"I did pick a movie, you little shit, but don't bother staying here if you keep that attitude." Cole said, before lowering his voice and muttering, "Christ, you'd think this fucktard would be much cheerier after some quick kitchen sex but noo."

Blake simply ignored him and plopped down on the empty couch, pulling me with him. I sat down closely beside him as Cole told us about the movie he picked.

Once Cole was done giving us a summary he decided to just display the trailer on the TV for me and Blake to watch. Blake kept a hand wrapped around me and I smiled when I looked down and found the childish bracelet that I had made wrapped around his veiny wrist.

The candy-looking thing looked so out of place when it was clinging to a rough and manly hand like Blake's. I looked up to continue watching the trailer but my eyes averted to Cole when we heard his phone buzz from receiving a notification.

I watched as he looked down at the phone and broke out into a smile that I never quite saw him wear before. The smile had a certain new emotion to it that was never really plastered on Cole Anderson's face before.

I quickly looked away before he could catch me gazing and thinking I'm creeping. I went back to focusing on the TV screen, feeling kind of happy knowing Cole was happy.

"So, do you like it?" Cole asked after the three-minute trailer had ended.

I nodded my head and played with the colorful beads on Blake's bracelet as Blake answered, "Yeah, I guess. Could you get the snacks over here while I find it so we can watch it?"

Cole nodded his head and stood up to leave the room. I made a move to stand up too so I could help Cole but Blake held me down with the arm that was snaked around my waist. "Nu-uh," He simply said, moving his head to look down at me.

"You alright?" He asked in a gentle whisper.

I furrowed my eyebrows at why he would question that and nodded my head, "Yeah,"

Blake looked at me for a bit more, searching my face to see if I was telling the truth, and then looked back at the screen, "Great." Suddenly, I felt myself get picked up and placed over his lap as he wrapped his other hand, which had the remote in it, around me and continued searching for the movie on Netflix.

A blush appeared on my face when Cole showed up seconds later and spared us a small glance, grinning at the position we were in. I saw his lips slightly move and I swear I could've heard him whisper the word "Finally".

Cole set the snack on the coffee table and Blake stroked my waist with his thumb, "Do you want some chips?" I wasn't sure why he asked me that until I hesitatingly nodded and saw him grab a bag of chips and lay us down, his front pressed up against my back as we snuggled on the couch and started the movie.

I caught a glimpse of Cole clutching his head and morphing his face into a slightly pained expression. I'm guessing Blake caught that too. "You alright, man?" He asked as Cole took two pills of what looked like Advil.

"Y-yep," Cole smiled and rested his head against the recliner as he looked back at the tv and continued watching the movie.

Blake and I kept eyeing him for a bit longer before I turned my head around and looked at Blake with a certain expression. He looked at me, then back at Cole, and sighed. "I'll tell you later," He whispered in my ear and kissed my temple.

I nodded my head begrudgingly and turned my head back around to watch the movie as Blake pulled me back against him even more and cuddled.

An hour and a few minutes later, we started hearing the sounds of Cole's kitten snores and I turned my head to find him sleeping peacefully on the recliner. The sleeping position he was in looked anything but comfortable.

Blake and I sat up at the same time and I watched as Blake stood up and placed the almost empty bag of chips back over the coffee table. He walked over to Cole, pressed his hand over his forehead to check his temperature, and gently shook him.

Cole's snores came to a stop as he weakly fluttered his eyes open, "Hmm?"

Blake said a few things to Cole that I wasn't quite able to hear before he helped him up and made sure he walked towards his room safely without passing out on the hallway floor or something.

Blake came back to me a few seconds later and placed his hands underneath my armpits, picking me up so he could lay down and then pulling my back to his chest like before. We continued watching the movie in silence before Blake spoke.

"I'm worried," he whispered.

A frown took over my features as I turned my body around to face him. "Why?"

Blake looked me in the eyes and shook his head, causing a few locks of hair to fall and curtain over his forehead, "Cole. He's recently been getting severe headaches but always tries to hide his pain. He just blames it on his sleep schedule and shit but I still can't help but think about it almost every hour. I booked a doctor's appointment for him that's scheduled for Sunday but I haven't told him yet."

I laced my fingers through the fallen lock of hair and pushed them away, "What do you think it is?"

Blake smiled when he felt me run my fingers through his hair and he pushed his face towards my palm so it was pressed against it, "I'm not sure. Hopefully nothing too serious." He kissed my palm.

"I hope not," I whispered. He pulled me to his chest and tucked my head underneath his chin, running his fingers up and down my spine. No words were exchanged after that, we just stayed there in each other's embraces until I felt myself begin to drift off to sleep.

"Iced or hot?" Blake asked me as he stood shirtless in front of one of the kitchen counters, holding the coffee bag.

"What are you gonna drink?" I asked him as I opened my laptop's screen.

"Hot coffee," He shrugged.

"I'll have hot coffee too then, I guess." Blake nodded his head ad began making the coffee.

After he was done, he kissed my cheek as he sat down beside me at the kitchen island and brought his own laptop closer to him on the table after handing me my mug of coffee.

I hummed as I took my first sip of it, "Thank you,"

"Nessun problema, darling." He kissed my forehead. (No problem)

A smile appeared on my lips while my stomach went crazy for some reason. I watched as Blake put his headphones on so he could listen to music while typing his essay, since his first class doesn't start until nine, and took a sip of his coffee, his adam's apple bobbing from him gulping.

How the hell did I manage to score this dude?

I shook my head and looked back at my laptop, clicking on my zoom lesson to enter it. I switched my camera on, making sure Blake wasn't visible on the screen as he sat near me, and silently watched the lesson while Blake continued typing peacefully on his laptop.

I started growing bored as Mr. Gracia began going through the booklet's questions and randomly asking some students to answer a few of the many questions.

I played with my pencil and spun it around my fingers to entertain myself but then suddenly dropped it when I felt fingers brush over my bare legs; I was wearing baggy shorts. I froze in my place as my eyes almost popped out of their sockets from how wide they were.

I swiveled my face to Blake's direction beside me and saw him still looking at his laptop's screen with his headphones on.

"Olivia Davis, will you please answer the next question that I'll be reading?" Mr Garcia asked through the laptop. My breathing hitched when I felt Blake's fingers trail upward at a deadly slow pace, causing goosebumps to rise all over my body.

I unmuted myself subconsciously, "U- yeah, sure."

"An organelle that looks like a lysosome and contains enzymes and it. Its function is to breaks down fatty acid chains into 2c molecules which can later enter cellular respiration in the kerbs cycle as acetyl-CoA."

Fruck.

I couldn't concentrate as Blake's fingers kept teasingly going upwards, reaching the bottom of my long baggy shorts and slowly beginning to slip underneath them since they reached past mid-thighs.

"Uh- I- Ribo-" I almost squealed when I felt Blake pinch my thigh, stopping me from continuing to answer.

I watched as he quickly wrote something down on a piece of paper and held it over my laptop's screen for me to read, his fingers still hovering over my thigh.

I silently read what was written on the paper with hitched breaths and read it aloud quickly as Blake continued trailing his fingers upward, "I mean, peroxisome."

"That is correct, Ms Davis, thank you," I let out a sigh and quickly unmuted myself, not even replying to Mr Garcia.

I looked back at Blake to glare but saw that his eyes were back to being glued to his screen, though I could see him trying his best to keep a laugh in.

"Screw you,"

"Please do," He smirked and trailed his fingers back downward, squeezing my thigh.

My eyes widened and I quickly looked away from embarrassment. That little crap. His teasing managed to fog my whole head up to a point where I didn't even have a second to feel insecure about him being able to feel my fat thighs.

I bet all the other girls he had been with had slimmer and prettier thighs like Huda's and-

My thoughts were cut off when I heard Mr. Garcia say a certain name that made me freeze in my place and look back at the screen. My heart stopped when I saw his face.

"Ashton Tuffin, you'll be asked to answer the next question so stay focused."

Both his eyes looked like they still hadn't completely healed from being black and his whole face looked different with bruises that should be gone by now but it looks like he was beaten up way too badly. His nose was extremely crooked too.

What the hell did Blake, Luke, and Cole do to him?

I looked back at his face with glassy eyes- the same face that looked me dead in the eyes as he choked me and f-

My laptop screen was suddenly shut as I heard Blake curse under his breath. I felt myself get picked up from my waist in a quick and swift motion and found myself on Blake's lap, facing him, in a matter of seconds.

One tear escaped by glassy eyes before a few more started slipping past them. I closed my eyes as Blake brushed my tears away, "Shh, it's okay Livi, please don't cry, it hurts me to see you like this. Didn't you see his face? He got what he deserves and no one's ever fucking laying a finger on you again, do you hear me? It's all okay, the laptop's off now, you can't see his pathetic disgusting face anymore,"

I opened my eyes and sniffled, trying to stop the tears from slipping. Blake gave me a soft smile and pulled me into his chest to hug me tight. "Why don't you skip the rest of today's classes and give yourself a break, hmm?"

I would freaking love that.

I nodded against his bare chest, wetting his smooth skin. He ran his fingers through his hair and kissed it, "Great, you can spend the day with Cole too since I'm forcing him to ditch because of his headaches. You guys can cook together, would you like that, sweetheart?"

I nodded again and calmed down my breathing as Blake distracted me from thinking of Ashton and what he did to me. He kept making a few stupid jokes that made me laugh through my tears as he played with my hair until I was fully distracted.

I grew a bit tired since it was still seven in the morning and Blake playing with my hair and rubbing my back added to my sleepiness so I just nuzzled my head in his neck as I straddled him and he went back to re-reading what he had written in his essay and fixing it while keeping a hand over my hair to play with my waves.

I closed my eyes and listened to the sound of his soft humming and the typing of the keyboard as I tightened my hold around him and played with the hair at the nape of his neck.

I kept trying my best to stay awake since I didn't wanna bother Blake if he wanted to get up a few minutes later or something so I just continued playing with his hair and listening to both his humming and the sound of his heartbeats.

My stomach grumbled a few minutes later and I felt Blake place his palm over it, "Livi?" He said, to check if I was awake.

"Yeah?" I whispered, my eyes still closed.

"You're hungry," He stated. "Want me to make you a bowl of cereal?"

I shook my head against his neck, causing my nose to nuzzle into him. "No, it's alright, I'll just wait until you or Cole eat." I shrugged.

"The fuck? Why?" He didn't stop playing with my hair and twirling it as he asked.

I held back a chuckle at the way he asked that and continued playing with his hair, "I don't wanna get up," I said lowly.
