(Alright, I was going to wait a few more days before posting the sequel but after many people begging, I just couldn't do it. Hopefully I will not disappoint with the sequel! Thanks for all the love and support! Heeeere we go.)
Lily stared down at the pregnancy test in her hands, her eyes gawking at the positive lines. She had taken at least ten other ones, all of them with the same result. Pregnant. Two little pink lines. She swallowed hard as she looked up at Amy.
"Well.." Amy sighed, "I guess you're pregnant."
"Yeah." Lily nodded, "I guess so."
"Do you have any idea of how to get in touch with him?" Amy asked; Lily knew exactly who she was talking about.
"No, not until he calls me." Lily shrugged; she had talked to Jon twice in the last week.
"Have you told him you're suspecting being pregnant?" She asked.
"No." Lily shook her head, "I can't tell him."
"What the fuck are you going to do, then?" Amy questioned.
"He left me money; surely I'll find a clinic that will do it for almost a thousand, right?" Lily cried.
"Lily, what the fuck are you thinking?" Amy's eyes widened.
"I'm not going to be the reason he doesn't get to live out his dream." Lily shook her head as she rocked back and forth; her hands over her belly, "Or I'll just leave. I'll leave and you can lie and say you have no idea where I went."
"Lily, stop." Amy whispered, reaching out to touch Lily's thigh.
"I'm going to fuck his entire career up, Amy. I can't do that. I'm only sixteen; I have a life still left to live."
"You are not, Lily. You aren't going to fuck anything up. A baby is a great gift." Amy sighed, "Just talk to him when he calls."
"I can't wait that long, Amy. I've got to get it gone now. He can never know I was pregnant. He'd hate me if he knew I killed his baby. He'll hate me for sure."
"He'll hate you for not keeping his baby. Exactly, Lily." Amy pulled the shaken girl into her arms, "Just take a deep breath, Lily. Calm down."
After Lily had stopped sobbing, Amy left her to go to work. Lily sat down behind the computer and pulled up google. She searched up abortion clinics around her area, something she could get to in walking distance. There wasn't anything around her close enough to be able to escape without raising questions from Amy. She sighed and crawled into the bed before she pulled the phone closer to her bed. Suddenly, she didn't feel so good. Her stomach was turning and her mouth started watering. She took off running to the bathroom and expelled all the contents of her stomach before hearing the phone ring. Jon had been calling every other day and he didn't call the day before so she hoped it was him. She needed to talk to him. She had to tell him, the last two times she just couldn't bring herself to do it. She rubbed her belly and sighed. She wondered how long it would be before she felt pregnant. The tests did nothing to make her feel pregnant, just a little ashamed of herself. She knew that sex had consequences and yet she didn't force Jon to use any protection. She couldn't guess what Jon's reaction would be. Would he be sad or happy? Would he leave her?
"Hello?" She answered the phone as she washed her mouth out.
"Hey baby." Jon's voice was always one of her favorite things to hear.
"Heyyy." She smiled.
"God I miss you." He whispered.
"Listen, Jon..we need to uh.." Lily's attention was distraught by Amy walking in the room with the mound of positive pregnancy tests in her hand.
"We need to what?" Jon yawned; his workout made him a little tired.
"We um..we need to talk." Lily choked out.
Instantly Jon's heart lurched to his stomach. This was what he had feared, he knew what words were coming next. "Maybe we need to see other people." Or " I've met some other man who I'm going to run off into the sunset with and we're going to get married," was another Jon feared coming out of her mouth. Lily had found someone else, he thought.
"Alright?" Jon sat up on the bed a little bit higher as he put his cigarette out.
"Nevermind." She quickly changed her mind; she couldn't fathom the words.
"Tell me." He egged her on.
"No, I'll tell you later." Lily whispered.
"Why are you so hard-headed?" Jon groaned.
"Because I'm Lily Lambeth. It'd be weird if I wasn't." She laughed.
"That's true." He sighed, "God I miss you Lily."
"I miss you too, Jon." She whispered, "Really really badly."
The more they talked, the more she could tell something was off in him. She put it off on him just being worn out from all the training he had endured until he started sniffling a lot more than when they had first gotten on the phone.
"Hey, Jon." Lily said
"Yeah babe?" He yawned.
"A..Are you okay?" Lily asked softly.
"Yeah, I'm good." He said as he laid back on the bed.
"Jon are you sure? You sound strange..distant almost."
"Babe, I'm fine." He sighed, "I'm just missing you."
"Please don't lie to me." She said.
"Lily, I'm not lying." He sighed, "I'm just feeling a little bad."
"You and I both." She sighed, rubbing her stomach.
"What's bothering my Lilypop?" He asked; she smiled at the use of her nickname.
"I think I caught something." It wasn't a lie; she had technically caught it from him.
"Like what? What hurts?" He whispered as he turned the lamp off and laid back completely on the bed.
"My stomach. My head. Everything." Lily sighed.
"Take some of that money and go to the doctor. You aren't going to get any better until you do." Jon was now concerned.
"Yeah." She whispered.
"How was your day?" He asked her, switching their conversation.
"Long, boring, not enough of you for my enjoyment..how was yours?"
"Pretty much the same. Other than the fact that Sami and I have a chance at the tag titles in the next few weekends." He stretched his shirtless body out, "It's so different over here. We get bottles and shit thrown at us even when they are cheering for us. So strange."
"Them Puerto Ricans." Lily laughed.
They talked for a few more minutes. It was day time there, just past noon while it was past midnight where Lily was at. As their conversation went on, Lily found herself completely relaxed with the phone pressed against her ear in the dark room. Jon's voice always soothed her worries, even on the other side of the world almost.
"Get some sleep baby girl, you won't start feeling any better without rest." He rubbed at his eyes; he had just woken up himself.
"I don't want too. I've missed you way too much today." Lily said softly.
"I'll call you when I go to bed, alright?" He smiled at her sweetness.
"Alright." She frowned.
"Alright. I'll talk to you later." He whispered, "I love you."
"I love you too."
They finished their goodbyes and Lily rolled over to get herself comfortable before falling into a deep sleep.
Jon looked down at the chopped up line on the mirrored plate on the table. He hadn't been this close to temptation in a long long time. It was finally chopped powdery and it made his mouth water. He picked up the rolled up twenty dollar bill and leaned forward, his jaw flexing as he came even closer to it.
"Jon man," Sami shook his head as he walked in the room, "What are you doing?"
Jon sighed and sat back. He had been here for almost a month now and the lack of Lily was really getting to him. He missed her. He missed waking up to her in his bed wrapped tightly in his arms. He missed being able to press his nose into her soft skin and inhale her natural scent.
"I miss her, man." Jon groaned as he rubbed his hands over his face.
"So you're going to go back to your addict ways?" Sami arched an eyebrow, "The faster we get this shit done, the faster we can go home to them. You don't need the fucking drugs. You've been down that road before. Now put the fucking funnel down and get down to the gym."
Jon watched as Sami walked out of the room, his mouth still watering.
"Man, fuck what Sami says." The other guy said, "That shit is good man."
"Yeah?" Jon arched an eyebrow as he toyed with the money funnel.
"Yeah man." He nodded, standing up to walk out of the room.
Jon's jaw ticked even more as he gazed down at it. He had already had a problem with the drugs but once Lily walked into his life he felt he didn't need it anymore. Lily wasn't here; there was nothing to fill that void any longer. He dripped his head and pressed the paper funnel down to the platter and gave a long hard sniff to two of the rows. He laid the funnel down and wiped at his nose. He couldn't tell Sami; the boy would be beyond disappointed with him.
While he was in the gym, his mind wandered to what Lily was going to tell him. It made him nervous, it could be anything and that worried him.
