Chapter one

I decided to try this out, please let me know what you think.

It's been a month, exactly, since the night Freddie and I chose what we wanted without thinking about the consequences. I found out two weeks ago and I haven't told him yet, the regret still stings, I can still feel his skin against mine. What once felt like a spark but left a burn.

"Ugh," I say aloud as I toss my things in my locker rather loudly.

"Dude chill out," Sam says coming up from behind me. "What's up with you anyway Carls? You've been kind of distant lately." She says as Freddie comes from behind me and grabs my waist. I jump.

"It's just me hun." He says kissing me on the cheek. Sam pretends slowly to shave off her head while making a gagging noise.

"Hey," I say my voice crackling.

"Are you okay? I was worried that I said something wrong last night, you were so pale and quiet." He says letting me go realizing I was trying to wiggle out of his grip.

"I'm fine, just preoccupied, I have a lot on my mind, okay," I say a bit annoyed.

"Okay whatever," Sam says reaching in her locker pulling out a three large sticks of Slim Jim jerky then walking away to class leaving Freddie and me behind.

"I'm really worried Carly," he says putting his hands on my shoulders looking me in the eyes. "I hate to see so secretive, I know something's wrong, is it because of last month?"

"No I just need some time to sort things out and I really think we should talk,"

"You don't want to breakup, do you?" my mind goes wild; I quickly decide to speak so he doesn't think that's what I want.

"No of course not, I just really need to talk, is that okay," I slightly ruffle his hair.

"Yea that's fine." Before we could agree on anything else, a voice interrupts us.

"Get to class and stop acting like you know what love is?" Mrs. Briggs says meanly as she slams her ruler against a locker. Bang! scaring Freddie and I, then she walks down the hall.

"Old bag," Freddie mutters under his breath.

"What was that Mr. Benson?" she snaps.

"Nothing nobody said anything," he says innocently.

"Detention! Benson, I want to see you after class," she walks down the hall slapping her ruler against a locker and yelling at a couple making out. Great I think to myself, so much for talking to him.

I wait in the library after school for Freddie; I use my pear laptop to search a topic that's been stuck on my mind all day. I type in teen pregnancies on Google. A bunch of things come up, a pregnant teenager forum, an abortion clinic, Something called the Sally Foundation, adoption agencies, and much more. I don't know what to click. I go with the Sally Foundation; clueless of what it is I read the website.

It shows a woman who is now in her forties who had an abortion and something went wrong causing her not to be able to have kids anymore and also the result of losing her baby at the age of sixteen. I look at the gallery and instantly click something else, it showed many dead babies that were as large as a penny. Well abortion is out I think to myself wondering how someone could be so harmful.

"Hey," Sam says coming up from behind me, I slam my laptop shut before she can see anything. "Every time I see you you're slamming something," she says chuckling. "What was that anyway?"

"Oh um just some research, for class," I say quickly hoping she can't tell I'm lying.

"Right," she says dragging the word showing me she doesn't believe me but wasn't going to push anymore. "Anyway I have been looking all over for you I called you like 15 times and texted you too."

"Oh my phones on vibrate." It wasn't a complete lie, it was on vibrate, but whenever I heard it, I ignored the calls.

"Well anyway I need a ride home; my mom got pulled over so she can't come get me." I should have known I think to myself.

"I rode with Freddie and he's in detention."

"Aw what the little fredwina do? Was he late for calling the fire department to get a cat out of a tree?" She says in a sarcastic tone.

"No he called Mrs. Briggs an old bag." She just wont go away I think to myself annoyed of her presence.

"He did! That's awesome," she says laughing. "Well I guess I'll just go with Matt."

"Why'd you ask me if Matt said he'd take you?" I snap.

"Because Carly I think you're not telling me something and I was going to squeeze it out of you but I guess not. Later." She says waves and runs out of the library just to annoy the librarian. Who yells stop running then realizes she yelled and blushes.

Matt was Sam's long time crush he always tells her how pretty she is and how much he likes her, I believe that she doesn't like him but uses him to do things for her, but you never know with Sam -you really don't.

I pick up my phone to check the time it reads 5:30, finally to get back to my research, just as I open my laptop Freddie calls.

"Hey babe-where are you?" he asks. He sounds as if he's somewhere walking, his voice echo's from the empty hallway.

"I'm the library," I answer just above a whisper so the librarian doesn't yell-again.

"Do you want to go home or to football practice with me?"

"I'm not really feeling well, it may be best to go home." I answer gathering my things and closing my laptop.

"I can skip to stay with you, coach won't mind." His coach will mind and I know it.

"It's okay I don't want to have to make you miss it because of me." He sighs loudly into the phone.

"I'm standing outside of the library." He says in an unreadable tone.

"Coming." We end our conversation and I step outside of the library to see him standing alone arms wide open. I fall into his hug I smell his Axe cologne. It doesn't smell as good as usual, I feel nauseated and dizzy. I push off of him, I feel as if I'm about to throw up, I run into the girls bathroom, thank god it's empty, I lock myself in a stall and everything I ate today is revealed.

"Carly are you okay?" Freddie bangs on the door to the bathroom. I look in the mirror after wiping my face with water.

I want to cry but in don't, instead I keep myself together and push open the bathroom door. I'm pregnant.
