A Change For The Better
Chapter One
Anthony's POV
After three hours of brainstorming video ideas with Ian and Melanie, I'm wiped out. Kalel didn't come with me today. She told me she didn't feel well, so she was going to go to the doctor while I was away.
On the drive home I worry a bit, Kalel doesn't take sick-days often. She probably just needs rest. As I pull in the driveway, I see that both Kalel and Joey are home.
I grab the mail from the mailbox and unlock the door. As the door swings open, I can hear soft sobs coming from the living room. I set down the mail and put my keys in my coat pocket.
"Kalel? Are you okay?" I walk into the room an see that Kalel has thrown herself onto the couch. Joey sat next to her, trying to calm her down.
Joey looks up and gives me a half smile.
"She won't tell me anything," He whispers to me as he slowly gets up, and motions for me to sit. "Maybe you can help."
Kalel groans and starts to cry even harder. I manage to get her to sit up. Joey takes a seat in the recliner across the room. She removes the hair from her face and starts to sob into my red leather jacket.
Kalel's POV
I was afraid to tell Anthony what happened. I had seen on TV what sometimes happens, it's awful. I curl up beside him, holding on to him as he rubs circles on my back.
I might as well just stay here forever. Curled up in my boyfriends arms. I wish I could go back a month and change everything.
I think to myself "C'mon Kalel, don't be a wimp. He'll find out anyway. Pull yourself together!" My crying slows to a soft whimper, and I stay in my position for a few minutes, so I could listen to his heart beat for what might be the last time.
As I sit up, I see his adorable smile. He brushes my newly dyed blue-green hair out of my eyes.
"What's wrong babe?"
"I found out something today at the doctor," It feels like time tempoarily stopped. My palms are sweating and I feel even sicker than I already did. "Anthony, I'm pregnant."
