Ren's Perfect Mistake
Chapter 1: Maybe It's Just Food Poisoning?
Ren woke up feeling nauseated and moaned all the way to the bathroom she shared with her younger brother, Louis. She reached the bathroom door and barely made it to the toilet before she vomited. When she was finished, she washed her face in the sink and put a wet washcloth on the back of her neck. She felt her forehead; she didn't have a fever. 'Maybe it's just food poisoning?' Ren thought to herself. Then she got that feeling in the pit of her stomach again. Ren dove for the toilet and threw up again.
Ren and Louis' mother, Eileen, came upstairs to wake them up. She stopped in Ren's room first because she knew she would be easiest to wake up. "Ren, time to get up and go to school," she said. Eileen looked around Ren's room, but didn't see her daughter anywhere. "Ren?" she asked again. Then she heard sounds coming from the bathroom.
"Mom?" Ren called in a whimper. "Mom, I don't feel so good," she cried. Eileen came into the bathroom and felt her daughter's forehead and sighed.
"Well, you don't have a fever, but if you don't feel good you can stay home."
"Thanks, Mom," Ren said groggily and somewhat upset. "I'm going back to sleep."
"Okay, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll call off work and then drop Louis off at school. And I'll let you get some rest, Honey. All right?"
"All right," Ren replied crawling back into bed.
Ren slept until about 11:30 and woke up feeling rejuvenated. She then went downstairs to find something to eat. Her mom was sitting in a chair reading. Eileen looked up as soon as she heard Ren coming downstairs.
"Feeling better, Ren?" she asked
"A lot better," Ren replied walking into the kitchen and opening the refrigerator. "Do we have any chips and dip?" she asked. "I'm a little hungry."
"That was a very quick recovery, Ren!" Eileen stated somewhat surprised. Then she asked her daughter a sort of personal question. "Honey, are you 'due' yet? Because when I was your age I used to get nauseous right around my time of the month." Ren's eyes opened wide and she ran upstairs without even answering her mother's question. She hadn't even thought about her 'time.' In fact, she had completely forgotten about it. She opened her night stand drawer and took out her pocket calendar and counted the days. She was a day late. It wasn't the first time though, so she didn't worry about it too much.
Ren went to school the rest of the week without incidence. However, she became worried after she was 'late' for about a week. The before school nausea started up again in the middle of the next week. Ren decided to "stick it out" at school rather than stay home, although she missed half of first period everyday that week.
It had been nearly two weeks and Ren was still 'late.' It was beginning to scare her. Then it hit her like a ton of bricks while she was sitting in the clinic one morning during first period. A month earlier she had gone to her boyfriend, Bobby Deaver's house for a party. He had asked her to stay for a movie afterwards. Except, she and Bobby didn't watch the movie.
~Flashback~
"Hey, Ren, would you like to stay for a movie?" Bobby asked.
"I'd love to," Ren said, " but I have to call and ask my parents."
"Cool, the phone is right over there," he pointed then went over to a shelf filled with movies. Ren walked over to the phone and dialed her number. Louis answered the phone.
"I'm sorry, but the number you have reached is temporarily out of service. If you'd.."
"Louis!" she yelled.
"Oh, hi, Sis."
"Don't you 'oh, hi, Sis' me. Is Mom around?" she asked angrily.
"Yeah, hold on. Moooooooommm!" Louis yelled. "Phoooone!" Eileen picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hi. Mom?"
"Yes, Ren?" she asked.
"Is it all right with you if I stay at Bobby's to watch a movie?" Ren asked crossing her fingers.
"Well, I guess it's okay if you stay as long as you're home before curfew."
"Oh, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I'll call before I drive home. Love you. Bye."
"Bye, Ren," Eileen said hanging up the phone. Ren went and sat down on the couch next to Bobby. He had already picked out two movies.
"I take it you're allowed to stay," he stated.
"Yeah," Ren said a little more composed than when she was on the phone.
"Which movie?" he asked holding up a copy of 'Twister' in one hand and 'Jurassic Park' in the other.
"Whichever," Ren said.
Bobby stood up from the couch and put the tape in the VCR. Then he sat back down on the couch next to Ren. They started to watch the movie.
After about fifteen minutes the two teenagers began to snuggle. At about a half-hour into the movie they started kissing. And by the end of the movie.
~End Flashback~
Ren gasped. 'How could she have let herself get so far? She was always so responsible.' Ren began to cry. The nurse asked her if everything was okay. Ren said it was and got a pass back to first period.
Ren got back to first period with her face streaked with tears and took her seat next to her best friend, Ruby.
"Is everything okay, Ren? What's wrong?" Ruby whispered.
"Nothing," Ren told her. Ruby was worried. 'Ren only cried when something was horribly wrong. Something was definitely bothering her. But what?' Ruby had noticed Ren going to the clinic every morning, but hadn't linked it to anything. 'Maybe that's what was bothering her?' she thought. She'd have to find out later that day.
