"No, no, a hundred times no!"
"Rose are you sure there isn't any possible way?"
"Roxy! I'm positive. You know me."
I glanced once more at the little stick in my hand. You have got to be shitting me. It only happened once and I'm a responsible person! I never party, drink, or do any drugs like all the other kids in our year. Why oh why!
"Rose. It only takes once for something like this to happen. Now be honest with me. Have you been, erm, you know sexually active lately."
Hearing those words coming from her mouth made me want to vomit. Sexually active? What am I a five year old? I suppose know she's going to start asking me if I have allowed a 'pee-pee' to come near me as well.
"Well..." I couldn't possibly tell her. She is my best friend but there's just some things not even friends know and the words just could not come out.
"Rose Weasley! Be completely honest with me and don't give me that look. Come on I'm older than you!"
I glanced at the stick once more. Sitting in my hand, it seemed to be mocking me. Like it was practically yelling, 'Sucks to be you, you are a responsible young woman and now after one tiny mistake your life is over.'
I swallowed hard and turrned around. I did not want to deal with this. Not now, not tomorrow, not ever. I'm only sixteen for Merlin's sake! I'm not even old enough to have my own apparation license for crying out loud!
What will Mum and Dad say? Oh god! I can't even picture their faces. They will be so disappointed. Rose, there prized child since Hugo is obviously just a waste of space, did something so scandelous! The same Rose who refuses to go to partys. The same Rose who does nothing but study on Friday and Saturday nights. How on earth could she get pregnant?
"Rose calm down! Breathe, breathe!" Roxy was beside me now, rubbing my back and soothing me with her calming voice. How come nothing bad ever happens to Roxy? Roxy is the definition of rebel. She skips classes, flirts with boys endlessly, and always goes to parties but she never comes home with a consequence!
"Rose you listen to me!" I looked up and into my cousin's beautiful brown eyes full of care. Roxy and I are extremely close and we have been ever since we were younger. We are complete opposites, but you know what they say, 'Opposites Attract'. But of course I'm not attracted to her, you know what I mean.
"Rose, listen! You are going to march into that shower and stay there for at least ten minutes and I don't want you to think at all. As soon as you are out we will start talking but for now you need to relax."
I nodded because that was the only thing I could do. Roxy smiled and stood up holding her hand out for me. I reached out and she pulled me up. Sighing, I looked at myself in the mirror. My red curls were flying everywhere, my pale cheeks were stained with mascara streaks, and my eyes looked bloodshot. I was suddenly happy that it was a Hogsmeade weekend and none of the other sixth year girls were here to come into the lavorty.
"You're beautiful Rosie." Roxy whispered quitely then turned me towards the showers. She nodded her head and turned to leave. As soon as she left I stripped myself down and headed towards the liquid warmth.
I sighed as the warmth indulged my back and began to think. I tilted my head back allowing my hair to encounter the water as well as the rest of my body. That's when things began to hit me again, I am so screwed.
