Brooke sat at the edge of her bed hunged over crying silently to herself, her body shaking slietly. She was in utter disbelief, how could this be happening to her? She flung herself down on her bed,still crying. What was she going to do? She would never get an abortion, she couldn't. She would have to say good bye to college to her future dream job. How could she tell her parents? How could she tell Luke? Brooke stuffed her face deep into her pillow muffling her sobs which were getting louder. Then a thought came to her she lifted her face off of her pillow and breathed deaply, maybe there was a mistake, those tests aren't completely acurate, maybe she should try it again. But she was to scared to try it again at that second to scared to see that it had been correct. She knew that there was no mistake, she must have forgotten to take the pill for a month, she couldn't figure it out, but she knew it was true. She was going to have Lukas Scott's baby. Fear filled Brooke when she realized that she would have to tell her parents. She would have to tell her mom and dad, who both cared so much for her and wanted despretly to see their only child go to college, it would kill them, she had know idea how she could tell them, but she knew she had to.
Brookes thoughts were interupted when the phone rang. She wiped away her tears and tried to sound as normal as possible.
"Hello," her voice was still a little bit quaky.
"Hey sweety it's Dad," Brooke's stomach felt uneasy she had to tell him. She debated in her head whether to let the news drop on the phone or in person. He continued, "Listen I'm going to be coming home late today so get dinner started without me. Ok? Oh and tell your mother too." He was getting ready to hang up and go back to his work, Brooke spoke fast.
"Ok, ummm......Daddy can I ask you something?"
"Sure sweetie what is it?" He didn't sense her nervousness at all.
"What would you do if....." There was a long pause.
"If what honey?"
"If I was pregnant" She let it out quickly waiting nervously for her father's response.
"I don't know I'd get you help and support you as much as you could" Brooke sighed she felt some relief but was still tense, her dad hadn't quite caught on that she WAS pregnant, and she would have to tell him. He paused, "Why do you ask?" She took a deep breath.
"I think I'm pregnant." Her dad screamed,
"WHAT!?!?!?" Brooke started crying again, tears flowing down her cheeks harder than ever. In a small shaky voice she went on.
"And I think I want to have a baby." Her dad rambled on yelling at her.
"How could this be happening? You had sex?" he said sex in such disbelief it was so packed with anger. How had her dad been so unaware of everything she did. Yes she had sex she had had sex a lot, she had had a boyfriend. She wondered if her dad even knew about Lukas he was always at work they never had a chance to talk. Brooke shook with tears she let her dad yell at her without saying a word. He was reacting worse than she had thought.
