Sacrifice

Chapter 10
"Peter?" Lydia asked with disbelieve. His parents are also surprised, I guess am not the only one that sees him as a saint, I know he will deny the fact and the real truth will come out, but if its just for a second I want them to see him for who he is.
"Are you sure" my dad asked, I kept quiet, maybe I said the wrong thing.
"Is it true" his mother asked looking his way, the unexpected happened, he laughed, full blown out laugh, that's something I've never seen before, had the situation been different I would've revelled on it
"Its true" He said, I heard the gasp from everyone, but I don't think anybody is as shocked as I am.
"What" his father barked I cowered
"Its one night gone wrong" he said calmly, I looked at Paul, I couldn't read his expression, should I confess?, it will look like a child's play if I do. I watched Peters father came close to him and gave him a resonating slap. I clapsed my mouth with my hand.
"We convince you everyday to do something worthy with your life, even being born with natural talent you always let them go waste, your brother always work hard to achieve something but he never relent" his dad said with anger "just yesterday he showed us his scholarship approval, while he study you just waste your time impregnating girls" he said, now the last part is highly exaggerated.
"Calm down dad" Lydia said with tears, am so sorry for all this.
What shocks me most is the calmness in Peter's eyes, I tried to speak up.
"I..."
"I take full responsibility for this, and will accept any punishment" Peter said, looking at me with a cold gaze that made me swallow whatever I had in mind.
"I guess you're a big boy" his Father's anger is visible and it makes it hard to breath, I look at Paul the real culprit, he looks like his on edge.
"Then how about you go start your family elsewhere, I won't have you grow your family under my roof" he said and walked inside with a long stripes of steps, his wife followed not looking at Peter.
"See what you've done to yourself" my dad said and left too.
"I won't have you in the same roof with me, my only mercy is you should come back your bags and move in with your new family" mom said and left. How can things turn out to be like this, I just knelt there weeping.
I felt a warm arm rest on me, I looked to see Lydia.
"Turns out am going to be an aunt sooner than I expected" she said and it made me giggle, am glad someone sees the bright side in this. I looked to Paul's direction and his gone, so is Peter.
"Come let's go get your stuff" she said, I have no energy to stand from here, I still feel my energy being sucked away.
"I can't" I barely said, she sighed,
"OK, try sit down I will go get it for you" she said and helped me up, I never believe my parents would easily cast me out, well judging from my sister's incident I can't say am entirely surprised.
What felt like forever, Lydia came back with my box of cloth, she didn't pack everything judging from the fact its only one box, I hope she packer the essential.
"What are you doing" my head snapped to the direction of the voice, its a very angry woman, Peters mother.
"I just went to bring her stuff" Lydia said already trembling
"This slut" she said pointing at me "must have seduced Peter like other girls did, or perhaps she got herself pregnant and said Peter is responsible" she is angry, I feel so guilty for what she said is half the true. I can't get to stop myself from crying. "Throw her out" she barked.
"Isn't that too much" I heard Peters voice and relieve washed over me
"What did you say" the mom said turning to him.
