My name is Emma Nelson and I am starting the 10th grade today. I am keeping two big secrets from my best friends. The first is that I hooked up with my best friend J.T on the last day of summer and the second is that I am pregnant. Halfway through the summer I broke up with my boyfriend Spinner. I started dating him when Sean left. He's the one that helped me through it. The other half of the summer I was emotional because of my break up and J.T was there for me.
He was comforting me one night and one thing led to another. I haven't even told my parents yet. I haven't really talked to Manny for a couple of months after we had a big fight. It kind of tore our group apart. The only person out of our original group that I'm still friends with is J.T. Toby started hanging out with other people and Manny started hanging out with Liberty. " Emma J.T is here so hurry up!" My mom yelled up the stairs.
" Okay I just have to finish getting dressed!" I yelled back. I decided to wear my black belly top, jean shorts and my black wedges. My backpack went perfectly with my outfit since it was black. Since I was only a week pregnant my belly ring shouldn't effect the baby in anyway. I walked down the stairs and saw J.T's mouth drop open. " Bye mom!" I shouted as I closed the door. " Wow Em you look great." J.T said.
I just laughed and playfully punched him. That was a bad idea because he then grabbed me by my waist and threw me over his shoulder. " J.T put me down!" I yelled. " Okay but I'm giving you a piggy back ride." He said. " Sure." I replied. He put me down and I hopped on his back. He started walking to school and we couldn't help but laugh.
When we arrived at school people were looking at us weirdly and it's because they don't that I broke up with Spinner. When J.T stopped walking I hopped off his back and we walked to my locker together. " Emmers!" I heard someone yell. There is only one person ever to call me that. I turned around and sure enough there was Sean. " Seany!" I screamed while running towards him. When I reached him I jumped into his arms and he spun me around.
" I've missed you so much." We both said at the same time. He let me go and we both just laughed while we made our way back to J.T. " Hey Sean." J.T said. Sean nodded his head. " Crap J.T hide me." I said while hiding behind J.T. Sean was looking at us confused. J.T was to until he saw Spinner walking our way. " Emma talk to him." J.T said.
I sighed. I guess he was right. I walked out from behind J.T and saw that Spinner was right there. " Hey Spin." I said. Now Sean was probably really confused because when he left Spinner and I still hated each other. " Hey Emma." He said. Spinner looked at the two people around me and did a double take when he saw Sean.
" Hey Sean." Spinner said through gritted teeth. " Spinner what is your problem!" I yelled. Everyone looked at us. " Your my problem!" He shouted back. " Actually no I'm not!" I shouted. He was about to yell something back but I wasn't finished. " I haven't been your problem since I broke up with you!" I shouted.
That was when everyone oohed. " Is Sean the reason you broke up with me!" Spinner shouted. " No I broke up with you because you proposed to me!" I yelled. I looked and saw everyone's jaws on the floor. " It's probably a good thing that I broke up with you!" I yelled. " Why is it a good thing!" He shouted back. " I hooked up with someone else!" I yelled louder than I should have.
" What with who!" He shouted back angrier than before. " I don't want to say because you will punch him ten times harder after I tell you the reason I rejected you when you asked for a second chance!" I yelled at the same volume as before. " Ya why did you!" He yelled matching my volume. " Because I'm pregnant!" I yelled. I really wish I hadn't yelled that because J.T was standing right beside me and my dad was a couple feet away. " Now I really want to know who you hooked up with!" Spinner yelled. I didn't say anything which made him even madder.
" Who was it you cheater!" He yelled while pushing me. " It was me and don't touch her!" J.T yelled at Spinner. " You yeah right it was probably Sean!" Spinner yelled. I saw J.T push him. " It was me and she's not a cheater you guys were already broken up and I comforted her so leave her alone!" J.T yelled while I dragged him and Sean away from Spinner. When we were around the corner I let go of Sean and J.T's arms. I was about to walk away when J.T brought me into a hug.
I started crying while he stroked my hair. " I found out this morning." I said through tears. J.T didn't say anything he just kissed the top of my head. " Hey." Someone said awkwardly. I looked up and saw that it was Toby. I wiggled out of J.T's hug and looked at Toby. " Tobes!" I screamed while running into his arms.
He just laughed and hugged me back. " I've missed you." I said. " I've missed you too." He replied. I let go and walked back to J.T. " I heard everything and I just wanted to make sure you're okay." Toby said. " Ya we're fine we just miss you and Manny." I said. " I want to be friends again but I can't say anything about Manny." Toby said.
We all just nodded our heads and pulled him into a group hug. We all pulled apart and started laughing. The bell for class rang and I intertwined my hand with J.T's. As we walked down the I had one hand intertwined with J.T's and my other arm was slung over Sean's shoulder. Sean's one arm was slung around my shoulder and his other was slung around Toby's. Everyone was looking at us weirdly but we didn't care. Lucky for us we all had the same classes together.
As soon as we walked in the class we saw that we got to pick our own seats so of course I sat beside J.T and Sean sat beside us with Toby. I looked at the other side of me and saw that Spinner and Manny were sitting there. Well this year is going to be great. J.T saw why I was tense and slung his arm around my shoulders. I cuddled into him and stayed that way for the rest of class. When the bell rang both J.T and I were dreading the next class because it is my dad's class. Even though he isn't my real dad his opinion still matters to me.
We walked into my dad's class and J.T sat on one side of me while Sean sat on the other. The bell rang to start the class but my dad was just sitting there glaring at J.T. " Uh dad it's time to start class." I said feeling awkward. " Okay today's lesson is on how to make the kid that got your daughter pregnant to disappear." My dad said. I grabbed J.T's hand and squeezed it. I raised my other hand. " Yes Emma?" My dad asked.
" What if the daughter doesn't want him to disappear?" I asked because I did not want J.T to disappear. " Well she would have to convince me that he is truly a good guy." My dad said. " Well my only argument is that he is not Jay Hogart." I said. " Good enough." My dad said. I sighed in relief. J.T wrapped his arm around and I snuggled into him like the last class. " Ya this is going to take time to get use too." My dad said while pointing at us. J.T and I just laughed.
We stayed like that until the class ended and it was lunch. J.T, Sean, Toby and I all walked to the cafeteria with linked arms. We found an empty table and we all sat down. I am so happy that I have J.T and my friends back. I know I never lost J.T but it's still nice to have Sean and Toby back. We were just starting to have a heated conversation about which superhero was the best when we felt someone sit down at our table. We all looked up and saw that it was Manny and Jay.
J.T pulled me against his side. " Can we help you?" I heard Sean ask. " No we just wanted to sit with our friends." Manny said. I scoffed. Everyone at the table looked at me and I shrugged my shoulders. " They actually still think that we're their friends." I said and everyone laughed. " What do you mean?" Manny and Jay asked at the same time.
" What we mean is that you are no longer our friends so get lost." Sean said. They both looked at all of us and then got up and walked away. " I can't believe they still think we are friends." Toby said. Everyone just nodded their heads. We looked up and saw that Liberty was sitting at a table alone. " Guys we have too invite her over." I said . Everyone agreed so Sean got up and invited Liberty to our table.
Liberty agreed to come and sit with us so she came back with Sean. " Hey Liberty." I said. " Hey Emma." She replied. I still can't believe that she broke up with J.T the day before summer started. It was luck for me that she did because than I wouldn't have him. " So I haven't gotten to ask you this yet Emma." Sean started. " But you and Spinner huh?" He asked me. " Ya that started after you left." I said.
He just nodded his head. The bell rang and it was time to go to math. Yay it's not like I do anything anyway. " Want a piggy back ride?" J.T asked. I nodded my head and jumped on his back. When we entered the math class everyone stared at us. " What?" We both said at the same time.
We took our seats like every class with me cuddled into J.T and Sean with Toby on each side of us. I can't wait for this day to end. All of a sudden I got a wave of nauseous so I ran out of the classroom and to the bathroom. I threw up and washed out my mouth then I made my way back to class. " Emma would you like to explain to me why you just ran out of my class." My math teacher said. " Geez chill out I'm pregnant." I said while I walked back to my seat. I took my original position in J.T's arms.
" Okay then let's get back to the lesson." My math teacher said while J.T kissed my head. The school bell finally rang to go home but I wasn't going home I was going to J.T's house. " Yo J.T and Emma hop in!" Sean yelled. We hopped in his car and he drove us to J.T's house. " Thanks Sean." We both said as we hopped out of the car. " Your welcome!" He yelled as he sped off. We just laughed and entered his house.
" Hello Mr and Mrs. Yorke." I said once I had stopped laughing. " Hello Emma." They said while J.T and me made our way up the stairs to his room. Once they were in his room he shut the door and they both hopped on his bed to cuddle. " You know this is what got us into this situation right." I said. He just laughed and nodded his head. I was almost asleep when we heard the phone ring. It didn't take long for one of J.T's parents to answer the phone.
I heard them hang up the phone loudly and I knew that phone call wasn't good. " James Theodore Yorke get your butt down here!" His dad yelled. Uh oh. He grabbed my hand and pulled me down the stairs with him. " I just got a call from Emma's parents and do you want to know what they said?" Mr. Yorke said/asked. All I could think was J.T's in trouble now. " Uh maybe." He said nervously.
He wrapped his arm around my waist and I buried my head in his chest. " They asked how we would let our child get their daughter pregnant!" His father yelled. Uh oh. " I didn't even know you guys were together." His mother said calmly. " We weren't when it happened." J.T answered since I was to scared to say anything. " What do you mean you weren't together when this happened?" His dad asked. " Are you telling me she's actually pregnant?" His mother asked.
J.T just nodded his head. That's when I started crying. " Emma honey why are you crying?" Mrs. Yorke asked me. " My mom's going to kick me out." I said while crying. They didn't say anything. Mr. Yorke picked up the cordless phone and walked outside where we couldn't hear him. " Emma will you help me set the table?" Mrs. Yorke asked.
I nodded my head and slid out of J.T's embrace. I was just finishing setting the table when came back inside. " So Emma I just talked your parents." Mr. Yorke said. " They told you to not let me come home right." I said because I knew it was the truth. He just nodded his head sadly. I sighed. " Dad we can't just let her not have a place to live." J.T said.
I could not love him more at this moment. " He knows that honey." Mrs. Yorke said. " I told Emma's parents that since you guys are together now that she can live here." He said. I ran to J.T and hugged him. " Thank you so much Mr. and Mrs. Yorke." I said. " Your welcome." They said at the same time. We were halfway through dinner when the doorbell rang.
" J.T take Emma upstairs." Mr. Yorke said sternly. J.T just nodded his head and dragged me upstairs. We went into his room and he closed the door. " Okay so obviously you are sleeping with me in my bed and we can put your clothes on one side of my closet.." J.T said. He was rambling so I decided to shut him up by kissing him. He kissed back and I separated way too soon for his liking because he pulled me back in for a make out session. We separated when there was a knock at the door.
" Emma your parents want to see you." Mrs. Yorke said from behind the door. " Well you can tell them I will call them later I don't want to see them." I said. " Okay hunny." She said said. When I was sure she was downstairs I fell on the bed. " You okay Em?" J.T asked me. I nodded my head. " I'm just tired." I said.
He nodded his head and opened the door. " I will be right back." He said. I wonder what he was doing. When he came back up I saw he had my suitcases. He opened the one with my pj's and handed me some. " I could have gotten them myself but thank you." I said. He just nodded his head and left the room so I could change.
I just laughed because he's already seen me naked but he still leaves the room. Once I was finished changing I opened the door. " J.T you can come in now." I said. He turned around and walked into the room. " Do I need to get out while you change?" I asked. He shook his head no while laughing. I just turned around while he changed.
We have already seen each other naked but yet we still turn around while the other is changing. We are weird like that. " Emma you can turn around now." J.T said while laughing. I turned around and glared at him. He threw his hands up in pretend surrender and made his way to his side of the bed. I made my way to my side and pulled the covers back. I slid under the covers and pulled them up. I looked over and saw J.T had done the same time. " You don't have to go to bed with me." I said since it was only 7:00. He just shrugged his shoulders and laid on his side. I laid on my side as well and he put his arm around me. I fell asleep instantly.
