Her hands shook, eyes closed as she heard the beep of the object in her hands. She couldn't bare to look, this could change her life forever.
All of her dreams could come crashing down on her. It seemed simple thought. If she just simply didn't look she could go on with her life, atleast for a little while. Her hand slid down to her stomach as she sighed heavily. She finally got the courage to open her eyes and look down at the pregnancy test in her trembling hands.
Her face paled as her heart dropped. It was possitive. She felt like the breath had been taken right out from under her. Tears bundled in her eyes. She through the test into the garbage can furiously. She pulled her cellphone out of her pocket, dialing a few times when she pushed the wrong number.
"Pick up, pick up." She whispered to herself.
"Hello?" The voice said.
"Listen... we need to talk." She spoke slowly and carefully.
"Is it bad?" The voice on the other end said. Casey put her head in her free hand.
"Yes. Let's meet at Smelly Nelly's."
He agreed quickly and hung up the phone.
She began to sob. This wasn't supposed to happen to her. She was seventeens for God's sake. They used all of the precautions, she thought this through for months before she decided. She couldn't believe this was happening to her, Casey McDonalds Miss Goody two shoes.
"Damnit!" She cursed, slapping her hands down onto her desk. She stood up and grabbed the keys for The Prince of her desk. Derek was grounded so the car was hers for a few weeks.
She ignored the stares of her family as she walked out the door, slamming it of course. She paused for a moment, hand resting on the doorway. She hunced over sighing heavily. The tears began to flow again. She didn't know how she was going to tell him. What if he didn't accept this! She quickly shook the thought from her head. She knew her boyfriend better than that.
Once in the car, she couldn't help but slam her fist onto the steering wheel. She was sobbing again, she felt herself begining to hyper-ventilate. Her breaths came quicker, and her mind became fuzzier. Her visions was blurry.
"Yup. Definetly a panic attack." She said between wheezing breaths. She closed her eyes, trying to distract herself.
When she finally felt ok to drive she started the car and drove off.
10 excruiating minutes later...
When Casey walked into Smelly Nelly's she spotted him at one of the back tables. She walked up to him, putting her hands on the back of the chair oppisite to him.
"Max..." She said quietly.
Max looked up at her, evident shock on his face.
"What's going on Case." She quinted. She hated when he called her that.
She sat down sighing heavily.
"Max I came here to tell you something... I- I'm" Her voced faded when she caught sigh of Derek. She couldn't believ she'd forgotten that he worked to night. She decided she'd better tell him before he decided to come over to them and eaves drop.
"Pregnant..." She whispered not wanting to look at him.
Max's eyes widened in horror. He said nothing. Casey finally looked up at him, watching his face pale. He wouldn't look at her now, he looked so confused. That was when Derek decided to stroll up to their table.
"Hey Case- Woah. What's wrong?" She wondered why it didn't bother her when he said it.
"You little tramp!" Max suddenly shouted standing p, ignoring Derek's presense.
"You cheated on me! There is just no way!" Max said bitterly.
"What?" Casey said tears flooding in her eyes.
"Max you know that isn't true!" Before he could speak Derek interupted him.
"What's going on here?" Max finally glanced at Derek before turning his stare back to Casey.
Max scoffed, "What's going on here is your little slut of a step-sister is-" Derek cut him off by throwing a punch at him. He soon had Max onto the ground, feeding shots into his head.
"Derek!" Casey cried, grabbing his arm. Derek stopped for a moment to look at her, the tears in her eyes angered him. He shook her hold and returned. Max threw Derek of of him before jumping on her him. It wasn't long before Derek was on top again.
"Please." She whispered crumbling to the ground. She stopped just them. Her voice sounded so broken. Something more was going on and he knew it. Derek got up brushing the trickle of blood from his mouth.
Max stood up, walked over to Casey. He spit a mouth full of blood at her feet. She backed up, suddenly afraid of him.
"Really Casey out of all the people you could of cheated on me with, it was your step-brother. Your sick." He said grabbing her arm.
She broke out of his grip, "Don't touch me." She said through gritted teeth.
"I'll do what I want." He said glaring at her. Now, Casey was not a violent person everyone knew that. But when Max spoke to her like she was his possesion she couldn't help. She suddenly found her hand connecting with his already bruised face. She glanced around the room to see Sally, grabbing onto Derek's arms trying to stop him from coming back over here.
"Get out of here before he- She paused pointing to Derek- Come backs over here."
He scoffed before turning and leaving Smelly Nelly's. She once again collasped, onto a chair this time. Derek rushed over to her.
"Ok what really just happened?" She glanced at him for a second tears rolling down her cheeks. She contemplated telling him for a second, but quickly brushing the idea off.
"I uh... broke up with him. He thinks it's because I cheated on him." She said in a broken voice, not looking at him. She didn't say anything, and left.
2 weeks later...
Casey tried to call Max every day for two weeks now. Everytime he didn't answer. She needed to explain to him that she didn't cheat on him. Even when she tried to call his house his parents never answered. Finally she decided to go to his house.
When she got there her heart tore in two when she looked at his front lawn. Placed right in the middle of the lawn was a For Sale sign, hanging beneath it was a smaller sign that said 'Sold'. Her mouth dried. Her chest began to heave. She looked up to the door and saw a white paper, blowing in the breeze. She cautiously walked up to the door, somehow knowing that it was for her.
She picked it up, realizing it was from Max when she saw his scratchy hand-writting.
Dear Casey,
I'm so sorry, I love you but you have to realize. I'm to young to be a father. I'm only seventeen Casey! I told my parents and they agreed this was for the best. I won't have any contact with you, or our well I suppose now your child.
I'm sorry.
Love, Max.
She crumpled the note in her hands before throwing it to the ground. She was truly alone now, she would be a single teenage mother. That word, mother, made her heart sting a bit.
She layed in her bed facing the door. She had no tears left, she felt so empty. The last two week sof her life had been hell. Once this was done she vowed to never have sex again.
She heard a knock on her door, she didn't respond. Who ever it was opened the door anyway.
Derek moved in and stood before her,
"You look like crap." He said. She didn't even flinch. So he sat down on her bed, still nothing. He was starting to panic. What could cause Casey to be so... lifeless.
"Are you ok? Because I just insulted you AND sat on your bed and I didn't here one, De-rek." He said mimicking her atm the last part.
"I'm fine." She said coldly.
He nodded his head looking around the room for what ever caused her to act this way.
"You never did tell me why you broke up with Max. Not that I would blame you..." He said looking down at his still slightly bruised knuckles.
She sat up and glared at him,
"Oh I'm sorry! Was I supposed to?" She said sarcasticly before laying back down and turning over.
"No... But usually you atleast tell someone." He said cautiously.
"And how do you know I haven't?" She said.
"I checked." He muttered. Still she caught it.
"Would you just mind your own business!" She snapped.
"Once you tell me what happned." She rolled her eyes.
"No." She stated.
"Case... Your obviosuly upset." He said trying one last time.
"Would you just drop it!" She said finally sitting up and looking at him. He sighed before getting up. As he opened the door to leave he turned to her and said,
"Well... If you change your mind."
She shrieked in frustration throwing what ever came in contact with her hand first. He shut the door just in time to hear a loud thump agaisnt the white wood.
Derek went to his own room, laying on his bed. What ever was bothering Casey was beginning to bother him for some reason.
"Edwin!" He barked. Derek counted to five and his younger brother was through her door.
"I need your... 'snooping' abilities." Edwin nodded at his brother,
"What do you need me to do?" Edwin said smirking. Derek wrapped an arm around Edwin's shoulder and explained exactly what needed to be done.
Two hours later a pale faced Edwin entered Derek's room. He sat on his bed, Derek didn't say a word only because of the look on his face. Edwin stared right infront of him for a minute before Derek couldn't take it anymore.
"Well?" Derek said getting frustrated.
"Derek.. I don't think I should tell you. This is sort of... important." Edwin said carefully.
Derek scoffed, "Derek.. you don't understand. This is bigger than both of us." Edwin said.
By now Derek was very frustrated.
"Out with it boy!" He said through gritted teeth.
Edwin held up a small zip-lock bag. It took Derek a few seconds to realized what was inside it.
"She's... Pregnant?" He said, eyes wide.
