My Water Broke, But He Chose His Best Friend

My water broke unexpectedly, way before my due date. Panic-stricken, I shook Brandon awake and urged him to grab the hospital bag and take me to the ER.

Just as we reached the front door, my best friend, Chloe, ran out of the guest room barefoot.

"Oh wait. Hold on. I haven't washed my hair yet."

A sharp contraction hit my abdomen. To my shock, Brandon actually stopped in his tracks.

"Okay, take your time. Put some shoes on first."

Chloe stood in front of the hallway mirror, combing her hair and pouting.

"Scarlett, don't worry. I wash my hair super fast."
