Courtney POV
Tears flooded my eyes as I stared at what I held in my hands. A pregnancy test. The little plus sign on it seemed to be mocking me. How could this happen? I was a good girl.
Tons of people have unprotected sex millions of times, and the first time I have it I get pregnant. It isn't fair! I bet Lindsay was done it way more than once and I doubt that girl even knows what a condom is. Well she knows what pregnancy tests are at least, where do you think I got the test from? Chris?
I still had a few more weeks left on the island and by the end of it, my baby bump would be showing for the entire world to see. I wasn't going to let that happen, I had to leave. I couldn't let the entire world see how much of a slut I was.
Dropping the test in the grabage, I raced to my cabin and started throwing all my clothes into my suitcase unlike I normally would have. If I were packing for a vacation any other time, I would have folded the clothes nice and neat, but this was no vacation.
"Courtney?" I looked up to see DJ standing at the door holding my test in his hand. "Are you alright?"
We stared at each other for a few seconds before I broke down crying. He rushed to my side and began stroking my hair. Thankfully, the cameras were focusing on Heather as she did something evil, as usual.
"Sh. It's all going to be okay." he soothed and put the test in my suitcase. I shook my head as more tears flooded my eyes.
"No it's not. I'm a slut, my entire life is ruined." I cried harder.
"No you aren't, everyone makes mistakes. You just got unlucky this time." DJ told me. I hiccuped as I took in deep breaths. Once I pulled myself together, he asked the question I knew was heading my way. "What are you going to do with it?"
Abortion was not an option and neither was giving it away. I couldn't bare to know that I was one of those people who abandon their children the second they're born. "I'm going to walk away from this place, I'm going to move to somewhere where nobody can find me and I'm going to have the baby and try to raise it."
DJ nodded and pulled me into a tight hug. "Does Duncan know?" he whispered in my ear and I shook my head. Duncan was a stud, a bully. I was his girlfriend and he pissed me off sometimes to the point that I wanted to break his neck. How the hell could I tell someone like that I was having their baby? Even if he did stay, he was too immature to take care of a child.
"Please don't tell him. Just pretend that you're as shocked as everyone else when you find the note saying I'm gone." I told him, he hesitated but nodded. Despite the pain I was feeling right now, I couldn't be more happy to have a friend like DJ.
I quickly scribbled a departing note and placed it on my pillow. DJ helped me pack the rest of my things and slip me out of the camp unnoticed. Few people knew that there was a third staff member on the island. The sailor.
Harry, the sailor, brought me back to civilization, no questions asked. He must have just suspected that the pressure of the reality TV show was too much to bare. Sometimes, it was.
I waved goodbye to DJ as I sailed away. I knew he would keep my secret. After that, I turned around and faced the sea. I was ready to begin a new chapter in my life.
Okay, not sure if I'm going to continue this but I'll add a few more chapters and see what you all think. Review.
