Hi folks!

so... here's a new story. For those who don't know me, I'm Luna. I'm studying English Literature at university and this story is my first shot at translating my work to english. I wrote this story in Spanish a few years ago and last week I found it and tought that I should give it a try.

The story is finished but I'm in the translation progress and I'm in the middle of my first year at university so maybe I won't update as often as I would like but I promise I'll try my best.

Ok, this a Delena story, in which all characters are HUMAN (alternative universe) The story is told from Elena's POV (something I haven't done in a while). I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did. Can't wait to read your opinions!

P.S.: I'm a language student and I'm trying to improve my english everyday so feel free to make any suggestions about how should I improve my writing skills ;)

Love, Luna.


Prologue

That day started like any other. My routine was always the same. The normal life of a normal teenager with normal problems and worries. But that was just about to change.

For as long as I can remember, I've lived with my mother Miranda and my sister Jenna. Mom used to tell me stories about my dad, about how they fell in love when she met him working as a maid in his mansion. He was not-so-happily married and had three children. According to her version, they fell in love at first sight. Mom was nineteen when she discovered that she was pregnant with me. And of course, my dad wanted us both out of his life. He didn't want his not-so-perfect life to be ruined by what he considered a mistake. People in this world is cruel.

My dad, whose name I don't even know, offered Miranda money to pay for everything I could need as long as she would keep my existence a secret and that's pretty much everything I know about him.

That's how my parent's love story failed. I was the consequence of that mistake, I was the mistake itself.

I tried to avoid those thoughts while I got ready for school. After all, there was nothing I could do to change the past. What I didn't know back then was that I couldn't do anything to change my future either. I had already made my own mistake, the only thing left was for me to realise it.

"Goodmorning, Lena" said my mom smling when I joined her for breakfast at the kitchen.

"Hi mom"

"Is Kai coming or you need a ride to school today?"

"He's coming" I smiled "Where's Jenna?"

"I think she's taking a shower.

Kai Parker, my boyfriend. We had been together for six months at that point. And obviously, I thought I loved him as much as a seventeen year old teenager can love his eighteen year old boyfriend.

Kai was one of those guys. Those who were capable of weakening the entire population of girl's knees with a single grin. He was ridiculously attractive, captain of the football team. He was definitely going to become the prom king and all I wanted was to be her queen. Back then, I couldn't see him for what he actually was: and idiot, a waste of space. Someone who I should have never crossed paths with.

"Mom, remember the movie I told you about? We could go to watch it tomorrow, Jenna would like it too, I'm sure."

"Yes, that would be great, sweetheart" she smiled at me "What time do you want to go?"

But I couldn't answer. Suddenly the breakfast started to taste crappy and everything around me started to spin around. I could feel the blood leaving my face and the food trying to make its way out of my stomach. Not a good sign, not at all.

"Elena, is everything ok?" my mom asked but her voice seemed too far away.

I shook my head no unable to open my mouth to speak and I run off to the bathroom. Everything I had eaten making its way back out again. I hated to throw up. It was the fourth time this week and I was starting to lose my mind.

"Sweetie are you ok?" my mother asked me knocking the bathroom's door while I brushed my teeth.

"Yes" I told her as soon as I left the bathroom, the disgusting sensations slowly starting to disappear from my body.

"You should go to a doctor, Elena. This is not normal."

"Yeah, yeah... I know" I sighed "Is there any medicine that can make me feel better? Kai will be here any second"

"Yes, I bought some yesterday" she told me, I could see her worry all over her face while looked for the pills and then gave me one "Here"

"Thanks mom"

"Morning" said Jenna before kissing my mom's cheek.

"Morning Jen" I greeted her.

While my mother and sister shared some small talk I took the pill my mom gave me. I knew I shouldn't, I wasn't stupid enough to not know that a woman in my condition shouldn't take any medicine. But I didn't want to think about that. After all, I was going to talk to Kai that day. My time of pretending that I was only a normal teenager was running out quite fast.

Why did this have to happen to me? My life used to be kind of cool. I had a more than handsome boyfriend, lots of friends and everybody at school loved us. I didn't have time to worry about something like that, but the results of the test I had taken the week before didn't leave room to any doubts. I was in trouble.

Minutes passed fast and soon the usual soft noise of Kai's car made me realise that my boyfriend was waiting for me. I said goodbye to my mom and Jenna and left the house. Everything seemed to be so normal that it almost hurt. What if I pretended that it wasn't happening? I wondered while I walked towards Kai's car. No. I couldn't deny the truth anymore, I had being doing that for almost two months now. I had to accept it, and I had to talk to him.

"Hi babe" Kai greeted me when I joined him in the car, smiling at me with that smile that made me feel strange things.

"Hey" I told him leaning in to kiss him.

"How are you?"

"I... haven't been feeling well this morning. Again" I told him with a soft shy voice.

"Don't worry. It's nothing" he told me without paying much attention "Hey, there's a party at my dad's place tonight. Luke's turning sixteen and we have to celebrate"

As usual, Kai didn't use to care that much about what I said. The only important things for him were parties and popularity. It was no secret that I was one of the most desired girls at school, and having me as his girlfriend was a big gift for his ego. As long as I was available in his bed whenever he wanted and I followed him to every party he wanted me to go, everything was ok.

This was not going to be easy.

"I don't really feel in the party mood today. I told you I haven't been feeling well lately"

"It's Luke's birthday, babe. We have to be there" he told me letting his hand fall on my upper thigh as he drived.

"It's not like your brother will die if I'm not there. He doesn't like me anyway"

"But I do. Just think about it... my dad is out for a week, we have the entire house for ourselves. We can do it in daddy dearest's bed while everybody is down enjoying the party" he grined.

"Kai!" I scolded him "We're not having sex in your dad's bed"

"Fine, fine..." he surrendered "We still have my room" he sing songed.

I didn't answer. After what I had to tell him, probably I wouldn't be welcome at tonight's party anyway. I needed to talk to him alone and we were five minutes away from school, it was time to change my strategy to get his attention.

I used the next red light to pull him into my arms and kiss him. After all these months, I knew everything he liked and it didn't took me much to get him turned on. I could notice that he wanted me in the way he touched me, in the way he breathed... It was nice to have that kind of power over him.

"Hey..." I whispered against his neck "I was thinking... What if we skip school today?" I started to run my hand up and down his chest, looking into his eyes with my best puppy face.

"Mmm... I like the way you think, babe" he smiled "My place?"

"Sure" I said going back to my previous position in the seat when he started to drive again.

Kai's home wasn't far away from mine and in just a few minutes we were there. His mother and siblings had already left so we had the house for ourselves.

As soon as we got inside, he pushed me against the door and kissed me hard, pushing his body against mine and starting to touch me everywhere he could reach.

Shit. This was not how I wanted things to be today, but again it was my fault.

"Hey..." I told him trying to push him away.

"Shut up, Elena. It can wait" he interrupted me starting to undo his pants.

"It can't" I told him trying to get away "We need to talk, it's important"

"No, it's not" he told me and before I could speak again he kissed me.

There was nothing I could do. I didn't want to piss him off, so I let him do as he pleased. It was always like that with Kai. Rough, fast and hard. He wasn't sweet but somehow I felt I deserved it so I held on to him and allowed him to fuck me right against the door. Everytime was worse and I had to close my eyes and pretend I was somewhere else while he burried himself inside me. I hated it, but I needed to feel loved, I needed to feel wanted, and he was the only one who could give me that so I pretended that I was enjoying myself and when the time came, I faked an orgasm to please Kai while he finished inside my body.

"Shit" he cursed "I'm sorry babe, I was going to pull out but..."

"It's ok" I told him, after all nothing worse than what was already happening could happen "Don't worry"

"Do you want to watch me play some videogames?" he asked while he pulled out of me, leaving me on the floor carelessly.

"No Kai, I want to talk to you" I repeated trying to fix my clothes.

"Fine" he rolled his eyes "Come sit with me"

I followed him to the couch and we both sat. He frowned when I didn't sit on his lap and I took a deep breath trying to get mentally ready for what I wanted to say. This was it. The moment that would define my life forever.

"Ok, say whatever you've got to say" he told me with a bored expression.

"Alright..." I started, my hands were shaking, but he didn't notice "I'm... Kai, I'm pregnant" I confessed and saying the words out loud made me feel like something was breaking inside me. I wanted to cry.

In one second Kai's relaxed expression changed to a horrified one. Then it changed to confusion and then to fury. Finally, his eyes showed disgust.

He looked at me in silence for a few seconds and then he looked away like if I didn't exist at all. His silence was starting to drive me crazy.

"You're not gonna say anything?" I asked with fear.

"You have to go to a clinic" he ordered.

"Is that everything you're gonna say? I'm not stupid, I know that"

"Well obviously you are. I mean that you have to go to a clinic now. We've got to get rid of that thing as soon as possible"

When I heard his words something actually broke inside of me. My boyfriend thought that the baby was a thing. A mistake. He wanted me to kill it so that his problem would be dealt with the easy way.

I thought about it for a second. It was the easiest way. That would be the way out of all of my problems. It was a fast and easy way out. Nobody needed to know and I could be able to carry on with my life as a normal teenager. It was the smartest thing to do. But I couldn't even bare to think about it. Something inside of me didn't allow me to consider the idea of hurting it. It was like an instinct. As simple as breathing, I couldn't allow anything anything to hurt that tiny creature.

"I won't do that, Kai" I told him when I knew that there was no other possible answer to what he was telling me to do.

"And what are you gonna do, Elena? You want to have a baby at seventeen? Everybody will talk about this!" he shouted "I have a reputation, friends, a life"

"I don't care about your stupid reputation" I shouted back "We're talking about a human being's life here, Kai. Our child's life..."

"I don't have a child! It's your damn body, your life. Your decision. You must get rid of it before it's too late!"

"We're not talking about a tattoo or a haircut, Kai! This is about a baby's life. How can you be so heartless?!" I cried.

"Everything's your fault!" he accused me "You're the one having a baby. It's not my problem"

"Kai! This is your fucking problem as much as it's mine! Do you think I'm happy about this?"

"If you're not happy then get rid of the problem!"

"I CAN'T!" I screamed "I can't decide over somebody else's life. I can't kill it. It deserves a chance to live" and just like that I was crying.

"What? You want to play houses now?" he eyed me with disgust "You'll never be able to rise a child"

"I'm not gonna let you hurt it" I warned him.

"I don't care about what you do. That thing's not gonna ruin my life. I want you out of my house, Elena. I never want to see you again"

"Kai..." I cried "Please..."

"Out. Now!"

The rage in his eyes was so deep that for a second I feared him.

"I'm sorry..." I told him, my view clouded by my tears.

"You should be..."

"Please, Kai. I can't do this alone... Help me"

"I'm going to have a drink from my dad's office. You better not be here when I come back. I don't want to hear anything about you or that bastard ever again. I want you out of my life, Elena."

And just like that, I was alone.

I felt like the worst crap in the whole world. Everything was going in the wrong direction and it was all my damn fault.
