Saturday - 2/2/08 Who: Cissy and Simon When: Saturday Night What: Cissy has some news for Simon. Where: Simon's room
Yesterday had been perhaps the worst day of Cissy's entire life to date. And today wasn't promising to be any better. Today she had the task of telling Simon that the baby he had been so upset about not being his was, in fact, his. She had already crushed the heart of one man that she loved, and now it was time to completely wreck the entire existence of another. She had no idea what to expect, which was different than going into things with Jonah. She had known he'd be hurt, devastated really, but with Simon... She had absolutely no idea how he was going to take this news.
The walk to his dorm seemed to take forever even though she'd already been by twice before just to find him gone. She hadn't left a note though. This wasn't exactly a note leaving occasion, besides, he'd be back eventually. And instinct told her that eventually was now though that could have just been nerves.
She knocked on his door, inhaling a deep breath as she looked down at her shoes, ignoring the glances she got from other boys as they passed, whispering as they walked away. Most everyone knew by now that she was pregnant, and most everyone knew that it didn't belong to Simon, therefore she couldn't blame them for being curious about why she was here. The sound of shuffling feet from behind the door was enough to tell her that there was good reason for the butterflies inside her stomach, and she closed her eyes for just a moment to prepare herself for this in spite of the fact that no amount of preparation could really help in a situation like this.
