As I looked in the mirror I couldn't help but laugh, I had been crying for over an hour leaving my eyes red and puffy, my hair in a tangled mess and what was left of my make-up streamed down my face. I was the least desirable thing I had ever seen. Shit, if only Eli had thought this. If only I had just kept my purity ring sitting tightly around my finger. If only the little piece of plastic in my hands had shown me anything but a plus sign. If only this could all just go away… I threw the pregnancy test into my big before covering it with scrunched up paper and started getting ready for school.
As I walked through the school hallway I felt as though everyone was staring at me. I must be going crazy; it's not like I'm showing? The test might be wrong. I began turning the corner when I saw Eli standing at my locker, he would know something was up… What am I going to say?
"Hey beautiful," said Eli as he stepped forward to kiss me.
I turned my head so he kissed my cheek, "Hey"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing I am just really tired…"
"Clare," he said as he tilted my chin so I was looking into his eyes "Have you been crying"
"No, I just didn't sleep much."
"Clare you can't lie to me what's wrong?"
"Really Eli, it's nothing. I don't want to talk about it."
With this he grabbed my hand and led me to an empty classroom.
"Did you just lock us in here?"
"Yes, yes I did," he said before pulling his perfectly lopsided smirk.
"Why?"
"We said we were all in. Now spill miss Edwards."
"I can't" I replied turning away.
"Clare please, you're scaring me" his voice was now soft and warm.
"I, I took a pregnancy test and it was positive" I replied sounding as if each word was cutting my throat on it's way up. After seeing his face go blank I continued. "It was one test it could be wrong, I will go to a doctor and I'm sure it will be fine."
After what seemed like forever began to speak, "I will go with you." He stated sounding stern.
"Eli you don't need to do that"
"Clare if you are pregnant I want to know!" he said getting out his Iphone.
"What are you doing?" I responded.
"Finding you a doctor and booking an appointment. Clare whatever happens I'm here for you." He replied in a voice that sounded as scared as it did sincere.
I pulled him close to me "I love you."
"I love you to," he replied as the bell for class rang.
