I'm Not Ready
Eighteen year old, Jocelyn Fray paced the bathroom while Maryse her best friend since kindergarden, sat on the edge of the bathtub.
"How much longer?" Jocelyn asked running her hands through her messy hair.
"One minute" Maryse sighed. "Joce, are you ok?"
"No, I am not, I'm eighteen and I'm most likely pregnant! I haven't even finished High School. What about college?" Jocelyn started to sob.
Maryse ingulfed her friend in a hug as they awaited for the test.
"I can't look"
"Joce, you're-"
"Don't say it"
"Pregnant!"
Jocelyn fell the the ground sobbing, whispering only one word. "no" over and over.
"Honey, you have to tell him" Maryse sighed.
"I know, I just need a few days..."
It was a week later when Maryse cornered her friend at lunch.
"Have you told him yet?" She asked. Jocelyn looked at her through her eyelashes.
"I'll take that as a no then"
"I haven't had the chance, i'm meeting him tonight at his so i'll tell him then. I just know he's going to walk Mar, and I can't do this on my own. I'm not cut out for it" Jocelyn sighed.
"You have me" Maryse smiled and placed a hand on her friends arm.
"I know"
"Val, can we talk?" Jocelyn asked as she sat on the sofa beside her boyfriend.
"Sure thing baby, what's got that pretty little brain of yours all worked up?" he asked pushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
"I've something to tell you" She went on. "Just promise me you won't walk away from me?" a stray tear fell from her eyes.
"Babe, what's wrong?" Valentine asked, he was getting a little worried now.
"Im...Im...Pregnant" she whispered.
"What was that babe?" he asked.
"I'm pregnant" She looked at him, tears now flooding down her face.
"Awe baby, come here. We'll take care of this don't you worry. we'll get rid of it" Valintine shushed her.
"What do you mean get rid of it Val?" Jocelyn asked.
"Ya know, get rid of it" He shrugged.
"NO, I AM NOT HAVING A TERMINATION!" Jocelyn yelled.
"Jo, we're eighteen, we can't raise a baby, I've to take over the family company and I can't do that if I've to mind a baby. You will be getting rid of it" he told her as if she didn't have a chioce in the matter.
"No Val, no way in hell. I don't want this child any more than you do, but I refuse to terminate it and if you can't repect that then we are through" she crossed her arms.
"Then I guess you should leave"
"Mar, it was horrible, he walked away he wanted… to… to kill…" Jocelyn sobbed in her friends arms.
"Hush now, it's okay, you can move in with me and we can hire a tutor so you don't fall back in school. We can tell people you're sick and you can come back next year to a brand new start and we can find a nice family you take the kid." Maryse told her.
"Yeh, you think that will work?" Jocelyn looked at her best friend with hope in her eyes.
"Yes it will"
