Here's chapter two. I hope you guys enjoyed the last chapter. Also, please check out my other stories Mistakes Were Made. 3
Amy lightly tapped on the door of the apartment. She looked around for awhile, a little nervous, before she heard the door unlocking in front of her. Fixing her side bane, she walked into the house.
"Hey Amy, I'm glad you could come." He looked around her. "Where's John?"
Ignoring him, she sat down in the house that she was temporarily not living in and looked Ricky in his eyes, not returning the greeting he had attempted to give her. Ricky put his hands in his pockets, feeling awkward in his own home. Her death stares seemed to scare him, so he stopped looking at her.
"So, obviously we need to talk. You didn't just come over to look at me and sit down."
Placing her bag next to her, she cleared her throat and started. "I came by yesterday, but you weren't here. Where were you?"
Ricky's heart started racing, and he remembered the voicemail she sent him last night. "I was, uh, I was out for a little while longer than I wanted to be."
"Oh, well I came by because I wanted to talk about this situation we're in. I'm not up for you staying out all night while I'm taking care of John. You have some responsibilities now, and you need to understand that. Our son comes before partying and friends. If you're going to put your friends before John, we can go to court and get this over and done with. I'm not dealing with this anymore, Ricky. We both need to play our parts as John's parents. So far, I've been doing my part and your part. I just want to know if you're in this for your family."
Ricky grabbed her hand. "I'm in this for you and John and you and John only. I'm sorry I haven't been helping out lately, and I promise I'll stop staying out late. I'll try harder, I swear. Do you forgive me?"
Amy nodded her head. "Yes, I forgive you."
He pulled her towards him and kissed her on the forehead.
!
Adrienne quickly pulled out of her driveway, texting Ricky and letting him know she was on her way. She turned up the radio until the car started vibrating to the bass. She started checking her hair and makeup, but she noticed the lady that had interrogated her and called her a slut the day before. Every bone in her body wanted to pull up to the lady and start bashing on her, but she knew better than to push the woman's buttons. She zoomed past the lady, the vibrations of the car scaring the woman. Two minutes later at the stoplight, the neighbor was right next to her honking her horn and rolling down her window.
Adrienne turned down the radio and looked her way. "Can I help you, lady?"
"Yeah, I just wanted to know if the pregnancy test was positive."
"Lady, just leave me alone. You're so nosy. Yesterday, you were all up in my car and today you're in my personal business. I'm not pregnant. Can you go find some other teen to pick on? I'm not up for it, not today anyway. Have a good day."
The light turned green, and Adrienne took off. She could barely hear the last thing the bat had yelled to her as she turned the radio back up. "One day karma will come and bite you in the ass."
Shaking off the last thoughts, she continued speeding down the street until she turned into the butcher shop parking lot, honking her horn.
A few minutes later, Ricky and Amy walked outside, holding hands, and a confused look spread across Adrienne's face. Trying to get rid of the face, she smiled and said good morning to each of them. The moment Ricky got in the front seat, Adrienne glared at him.
She mouthed the words, "What did you do?"
"Good morning, Adrienne." Ricky smiled, trying to act like he didn't see what she had mouthed to him.
She sighed. "Hey Amy, I thought I was supposed to pick you up at your house? This isn't your house…is it?"
Amy started laughing as she threw her backpack on the other side of the car. "We talked about some things, and we're trying to work this out like we should. At least you don't have to keep making two stops before we go to school."
"I was kind of beginning to like the two stops before school started," Adrienne thought to herself as she peeled out the parking lot. She darted through the street, imagining herself beating the hell out of Ricky for making amends with Amy when they were supposed to be sneaking around. Minutes later, she pulled into a parking spot in front of the school.
"Ricky, I need to talk to you for a minute. Do you mind, Amy?"
Amy shook her head and kissed Ricky on the cheek before walking to the school entrance. Once Amy was out of sight, Adrienne punched Ricky in his arm. He didn't wince; he just looked at her.
"What the hell, Adrienne?"
"I thought she wasn't coming back until next weekend? What the hell happened to that plan?"
"She came by this morning, and I'm sorry, but, my son and girlfriend are more important than hooking up with you every night. If you still want to do this though, we can. There's nothing wrong with having a party right here in your backseat. What do you say?"
She put her finger to her chin and looked up as if she was thinking about what she was going to say. "Hmm, I say you won't be getting any of this anymore."
A little bummed, Ricky humped his shoulders and got out of the car and told Adrienne to have a good day.
!
Amy opened her locker as Lauren walked up, waving her hand.
"Hey Lauren. What's going on? Where's Madison?"
"Madison's out sick today. I think she got pink-eye. What's been up with you lately? I noticed the other day you seemed a little mad at Ricky. Are you guys doing okay now?"
Amy nodded her head. "Yeah, he just forgot for a minute that he was a dad, but we talked. We're fine now, but I just hope that we're fine for good. I'm sick of drama."
"Oh, then you won't want to hear this."
Amy looked up. "I don't want to hear what?"
Lauren shook her head. "Nothing, it's not that important if you don't want to listen to drama."
"Well, now I want to hear it. Can you tell me? You brought it up, and now I want to know about whatever this is, so tell me."
Amy followed Lauren to a secluded area of the hall as she looked around, making sure no one was attempting to eavesdrop.
"Okay, so I'm not naming names, but somebody told me that Adrienne is cheating on Ben. They don't know who she's cheating on him with, though. Somebody that goes to this school is her neighbor, and their mother said that Adrienne was getting wild in her car yesterday. She completely intruded on Adrienne and whoever she was trying to hook up with. They were trying to see who the person was when he had left, but they couldn't figure it out for anything. Who do you think it is?"
Amy humped her shoulders. "I don't know. She's hooked up with practically every senior in this school. She might've gone back to somebody for seconds. Who knows? Does Ben even know about this?"
Lauren shook her head. "Nobody's told him because they want her to tell him, so if you tell anybody make sure they know not to tell Ben."
"I'm not telling anybody. It's none of my business. I'm not the one cheating or being cheated on; she is. Whatever happens to her is for the best, obviously. We should just leave this alone. We're not in it, and let's keep it that way before we do end up being in this."
At that moment, Ricky came up behind Amy and wrapped his arms around her. "Hello, Lauren."
Lauren waved and gave Amy the you-better-not-say-anything look. Amy turned around in Ricky's arms and starting locking lips with him, but they were rudely interrupted when a teacher came over and started yelling in their ears.
"Enough of the PDA. This is a hallway, not a house party." She walked away, continuing to mumble rotten things to herself about how much she hated her job and the kids who went there.
Laughing, they locked hands as they walked down the hallway and headed towards their first period. The day went by quickly and pretty soon, Amy was backed up on her locker, kissing Ricky while people walked by and made disgusted noises. Adrienne turned down the hall, and people began staring at her, but she didn't notice. She popped Ricky upside the head and pushed him on the opposite side of the hall.
"Can you guys back the hell away from each other? Let's go, I would like to get home and study. Don't touch each other, not until we get into the car please."
Disgusted, she started walking fast cursing under her breath. Instead of getting in the front seat like he normally would, Ricky crawled into the back with Amy and got on top of her, returning to their kissing.
"Jeez, you two are disgusting!"
Ricky laughed. "You said we had to wait until we got to the car. We did as you pleased, so now we'll do what we please."
"Can you at least close the damn door next time?"
Ricky closed the door with his foot, not leaving Amy's lips. Adrienne darted out of the parking lot, turning up her radio and cursing as loudly as she wanted to in Spanish. She pulled up in front of the nursery and commanded one of them to get John. Amy started laughing.
"John's with his grandma today, Adrienne. He doesn't go to daycare on days I don't have to work, so can you please take us to the butcher shop."
"Fine."
She peeled out of the parking lot, and sped through all the traffic in front of her. People honked their horns and yelled through the windows, but she didn't give a damn what they were doing. She just wanted to get the horny couple out of her car and into their house. When she pulled into the butcher shop, she opened the door and pulled Ricky off of Amy, practically throwing him to the ground.
"You just did that shit on purpose, dick head."
Ricky laughed as he dusted himself off and helped Amy out of the car. Just as they were about to inside the butcher shop, Amy turned around and yelled for Adrienne.
"What?"
"Tomorrow, I'm going to take my car, so you don't have to worry about picking us up in the mornings."
Adrienne's face turned red as she dug her nails into the steering wheel. "But I always pick you guys up."
"I know, but I feel like we're being a burden on you, and since we have to drop John off, it's better. Thank you anyway for all the times you picked us up, though."
Adrienne faked a smile. "It was my pleasure."
Adrienne quickly pulled out of the parking lot, leaving behind her emotions along with Amy and Ricky. Ricky grabbed Amy's hand as they headed upstairs to the small apartment. He whispered little nothings in her ear, causing her to blush, as they climbed up the stairs. He grabbed her waist, pulling her closer to him and he nibbled on her neck while she pushed her hair out of the way. She started laughing as he wrapped his hands around her waist. They slammed into the door and fell on the floor. Amy laughed while Ricky kept grabbing and kissing her.
"Ricky, stop. We can't do this, not now anyway. What do we look like doing this in the hallway?"
He stopped, but he still held her. "You're right…let's go inside."
"Ricky, I'm not doing this. I really don't want any more kids right now, so let's just relax. We don't have that long before I'm supposed to pick up John from my mom's."
"Well, let's make our time worth something."
He started kissing her again, throwing her on the bed and taking off his shirt while Amy laughed and looked at him. He jumped back on top of her, both of them laughing this time before returning to the war of the tongues.
!
Adrienne slammed her front door against the lock, throwing her purse on the counter and screaming. Her mother walked out of her room, panicked, and looked at Adrienne like she was crazy. Adrienne didn't notice her mom was looking at her until she slammed her hands on the counter. She quickly lifted her hands and tried to act like nothing was wrong.
"Hey mom, I thought you had another flight tonight."
Her mom shook her head. "I don't go in until noon tomorrow. What was all that just about?"
Adrienne just shook her head. "Nothing, it's not that important. I need to call Ben."
She walked into her room, mumbling things under her breath about Ricky, not noticing that her mother could hear every word she was saying.
"Adrienne, why are you so mad at Ricky? You two aren't dating, so why do you care about whatever it is he's doing? Shouldn't you be worried about what Ben is doing?"
Adrienne's heart started racing as she quickly tried to think of a lie. "Uh, right I meant to say Ben."
Still not convinced, Adrienne's mother forced her to sit down on the couch. "What the hell is going on?"
Adrienne shifted in her seat, not wanting to look at her mother eye to eye. "Nothing's going on, mom. Can you calm down?"
"No, I can't calm down. I didn't want to say this, but our neighbor came by today and told me some pretty disturbing news."
Adrienne's heart race continued to fasten its pace as she hoped and prayed that it wasn't the neighbor she had a feeling it was. "Which neighbor and w-what did they say?"
"The neighbor on our right came by and said that I should be disappointed in you. I had no idea what she was talking about, so I asked her to continue. She told me that she caught you having sex in your car the other day with a young man. I figured she was talking about Ben, but the young man she described was nothing like Ben. Ben dresses kind of sophisticated and formal. She said the young man in your car looked nothing of the sort. Instead, he looked like he was up to no good. Now, I'm only going to say this once and once only. Who was the young man in your car?"
Adrienne swallowed hard, now feeling dizzy. "Uh, I'm just going to be honest with you. I am cheating on Ben with Ricky right now. I've never been able to completely get over Ricky, so I told him that I still love him and I couldn't stop thinking of him. He said he felt the same way, so we started sneaking around. He would come here after school, I would go to his place after school if Amy and John weren't there, or sometimes we would meet somewhere random and be alone until it got late. The days that you would be flying, I would have Ricky or Ben coming here and they would spend the night or stay as late as they wanted. Sometimes, I would go to their house."
Adrienne's mother's face was bright red. "How could you be so selfish and careless? You don't just go around sleeping with people because you still love them, and you sure as hell don't sleep with guys who already have a kid by another girl. Hell no! I'm not raising you to deceive others and cheat and lie. You need to be honest and stop having two guys wrapped around your finger. Where the hell did I go wrong with you? First, you're having sex, now you're cheating? What's next, Adrienne? Do you have to get an STD to understand that this shit is serious? You're not only playing around with one guy, but two guys. I want Ben and Ricky to know that you've been cheating by next week and no later. If they don't know by you, they will know by me. Do you understand?"
Adrienne nodded her head, tears sliding down her cheeks as she sniffled and realized what a mistake she was making. She got up and walked out of the living room and into her room, flopping on the bed as she stuffed her face into her pillow and sobbed. Finally realizing she didn't have a reason to cry, she dried her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror.
"Stop crying, Adrienne. You cheated on the guys, they didn't cheat on you. You got yourself into this mess, and now you have to get yourself out of it. Be strong and talk to them both on Sunday and whatever happens was meant to happen obviously."
She dried her eyes and took out her cell phone, dialing Grace's number.
"Hello?"
"Hey Grace, I just needed somebody to talk to right now."
"Well, what's up?"
"I did something horrible, and I don't know what to do."
"What did you do? Most of the time when you say you did something horrible, it usually doesn't turn out to be so bad."
Tears welled in her eyes again, threatening to crash onto her cheeks. "I cheated on Ben."
"Who did you cheat on him with?"
"Uhhh…Ricky." The tears spilled over as she said his name.
"Oh."
Her face tuned up a bit. "What do you mean 'oh?'"
"Well…"
"Well, what?"
"There's a, um, rumor going around school. I didn't want to be the one to tell you this, but everybody in the school knows you're cheating on Ben. They don't know you're cheating with, though."
More tears came down as her mouth popped open. "How did they find out?"
"Well, they said that one of your neighbors has a daughter that goes to our school and her mother interrogated you inside your car the other day. Then, she thought it'd be okay to tell her daughter that you were having sex with someone in the car. At first she thought it was Ben, but Ben was at school all day."
"My life is ruined."
"I'm sorry Adrienne, but I have to get going. I'll call you later."
She hung up and buried her face in her hands. "What the fuck did I just do?"
She got dressed for bed and cried herself to sleep.
!
Adrienne woke up at three in the morning, running to her bathroom and holding her mouth. She kept gagging in her mouth, trying to turn on the bathroom light. After she finally switched the light on, she opened the toilet seat and her dinner came out of her mouth. This had been the second time that night she was getting out of bed to throw up.
Wiping her mouth, she flushed the toilet and washed her hands. She looked in the mirror to make sure there was nothing else on her face before shuffling back into her room and climbing in her bed. At this point, she couldn't sleep. All she could think about was why she was throwing up so much. She didn't know what she ate that made her so sick, so she turned on her side and drifted off to sleep.
!
Amy slipped on a pair of black furry boots over her dark blue skinny jeans. She straightened out her black sleeveless vest that overlapped her long sleeve white shirt. She looked over and saw Ricky getting John ready for daycare as he hurriedly put everything he needed in his bag. John was still sleeping, and she knew the later he slept the harder it was to get him up. She walked into his room and noticed that he had just been sitting there. Laughing, she picked him up out of his crib and brought him into the living room and let him run around the house while she found his clothes for the day.
She was trying to find a shirt when she felt a pair of arms wrap her waist.
"Good morning, beautiful."
She blushed and tried to stop before turning around to face him. "Good morning."
She grabbed the outfit she found and called for John. He ran in the room but almost immediately ran out. He looked at her and Ricky and said, "Ew."
Ricky grabbed John and threw him in the air. John started screaming and pretty soon he was running around the house butt naked, refusing to put on his clothes. After ten minutes of chasing the little boy throughout the apartment, John slipped and was pinned. Amy quickly slipped on the outfit onto the crying boy begging her to stop.
"You can't go to school naked, John."
She let John up as she straightened her outfit. "Now, you can go. Do not take off those clothes."
Ricky laughed as he saw John run as far away as he could from the both of them. They both walked into the kitchen as they double checked to make sure they had everything they needed along with John. John was the first to get to the front door as he jumped around and screamed, begging to carry his own backpack. Amy slipped the backpack on John as he made his way down the stairs and into the shop.
Bunny was already downstairs, readying a few things before opening the shop for the morning. John ran over to Bunny and started hugging her legs.
"Hi, Bunny."
"Good morning John." She looked up at Ricky and Amy. "You kids have a good day at school. You have a good day too, John."
John grabbed Amy's hand as the three of them made their way to Amy's car.
!
Adrienne curled the ends of her hair as she felt her phone vibrate in her back pocket. Even though she really had no desire to talk to him, she knew it was rude to ignore people's calls when she wasn't busy, so she answered it anyway.
"What's up, Ben?"
"Hey babe, I just wanted to say good morning and I'll see you at school later."
"Okay, well I might leave early today. I wasn't feeling too good last night, so just in case I'm not staying the whole day. If you want to come, meet me in the parking lot before lunch."
"I'll let you know by third period if I'm coming. I'll see you later."
"Okay, bye."
She grabbed her bag and was quickly out the door. As she got into her car, she almost started towards the butcher shop, but she remembered what Amy had told her the day before. A little bummed, she headed to the school as she began to feel nauseous once again. As she pulled into the parking lot, she stopped at the back of the lot and quickly ran out of her car. She sprinted to the grass and let loose what had been traveling up her throat for the longest. Wiping her mouth, she got back into her car and found a parking space in the middle while grabbing a few mints from her glove compartment.
She popped a mint in her mouth as she made her way to her locker. She noticed Ricky and Amy were already there and were walking down the hallways showing their love for each other. For a minute, she thought Ricky was doing this just to piss her off, but she realized that he was doing this way before she even got into the school. She tried to stop staring at them as she popped her locker open and Grace appeared behind her.
"Good, morning Adrienne."
"Grace, if you're doing that stupid good morning shit again, I'm really not in the mood for it."
Grace's face tuned up a little. "No, Adrienne I wasn't. I just wanted to say good morning. Are you feeling okay?"
Adrienne shook her head. "I've been throwing up since last night and I'm fucking tired as hell. I don't know what I ate, but when I find out I'm sure as hell not eating it again."
Grace looked down, trying her hardest to think of something to talk about other than what she heard last night. "So, have you told Ben or Ricky yet?"
"What a fail, Grace," she thought as she mentally beat the hell out of herself.
"No, only you, my mom, my neighbor and the whole fucking school know. I don't even know how to tell them. I can't just go in there and sit them both down and say 'When I couldn't fuck you, I fucked you and vice versa.' My mom said that if they didn't know by next week, then she would them. I'm tempted to take her up on her offer right now. It's just way too scary for me."
"Well, you did it Adrienne. What did you expect? Eventually what's done in the dark comes out into the light."
"Yeah, I know it must be hard, but whatever happens is for the best."
Adrienne rolled her eyes as she slammed her locker shut and started looking down the hallway. "I really don't even want to be here right now. It's just not even a priority right now, but I'm not going to wimp out."
"I can leave with you. I didn't even want to come this morning either, so if you want, I'll go too."
"It's okay. I'm just going to stay here and suck it up. You should suck it up, too."
She walked away, making her way to her first period.
!
Amy and Ricky swiftly cruised out of first period, holding hands and laughing when Adrienne walked up and asked if she could talk to Ricky alone. Amy kissed him on the cheek and walked to her second period as Ricky followed Adrienne to a less crowded hallway.
"What's wrong, Adrienne?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to apologize for how I acted yesterday. It just kind of made me mad, but I realized that I am the other woman, not her, so I'm sorry. Do you forgive me?"
Ricky nodded his head. "I was never mad at you."
"That's good because I wanted to know if you would come over tonight."
Ricky started shifting from each foot, not thinking it was a good idea. "I don't know Adrienne. I mean, for the first time in a while, things are going amazing with Amy and John, and I really don't want to mess up my chances of this. I almost lost them before because I was always with you. I just think it would be better if we were friends, not friends with benefits. My benefit is Amy."
"Maybe I liked being friends with benefits. What if I apologized because I want us to be friends with benefits? I can always take back my apology."
"Well, it looks like you're taking back your apology because, like I said, I don't want to officially fuck up my chances with Amy again, and I think it best if we stay friends. You may not agree, but in the long run, it'll benefit the both of us."
"You know you want this, and you want it now. You just don't want to seem like a bad father or boyfriend. Look, I'll give a choice. Either you come to my house tonight or I tell Amy the reason why you've been so late coming home. I'm pretty sure you don't want her to know about you warming my bed."
Ricky's vein popped out of his neck. "Are you threatening me? I can always go and tell Ben I'm the reason why you've been blowing him off lately. Just like you, I can go snitch on you. That's not such a good idea. Just leave me alone and don't talk to me anymore. I want nothing to do with you. If this is how you're going to be, I don't want to be your friend with benefits or your friend. Have a good day, Adrienne."
He walked away, leaving behind a very pissed Adrienne alone in the corner. She stomped her foot, screaming internally, and walked to her locker. She grabbed her bag and threw all of her books inside, mumbling under her breath about how guys were such dicks sometimes. She called Ben, praying that he would be able to come with her.
"What's up?"
"Nothing, I'm leaving earlier than expected. Are you coming?"
"I can't, not right now anyway. I got a test next period. I'm sorry."
"Whatever, I'll see you later. Bye."
She hung up, not giving him a chance to say anything else. Throwing her bag over her shoulder, she walked out of the doors and pulled her keys out of her back pocket. She ran to her car, not knowing if she should cry or scream or take all her anger out on the hood of her car. She turned up the radio as she blasted out of the parking lot. She ran any and all lights that she saw while driving. When she pulled onto her street, she saw her mother talking to the neighbor who ratted her out. She rolled down her window, a confused look on her face.
"Mom, aren't you suppose to be heading to the airport?"
Her mom turned around, surprised that Adrienne had ditched school. "Adrienne, get your ass back to school right now."
"I'm not feeling well for some reason, and I'm extremely tired even though I got lots of sleep."
"Whatever, and I'm leaving in a few minutes. I need to talk to you inside real quick, please."
Adrienne pulled into the driveway and got out of her car. She looked the neighbor up and down and rolled her eyes. The neighbor hissed at her as she walked back inside her house yelling goodbye to Adrienne's mom. Adrienne walked into the house, holding her stomach, feeling nauseous once again. She ran into the bathroom before her mother could get one word out. After she cleaned herself up, she walked back into the living room, and noticed that her mother looked worried. Sitting down, she took another mint out of her bag.
"Adrienne, how have you been feeling? For the past week or so, you've been looking different. You look like you gained a little weight."
"For the past couple of weeks, I've been feeling like crap. I'm always throwing up, I feel tired for no reason, and I get headaches a lot more often. You don't think something could be wrong do you?"
Her mother froze in her spot.
"Mom, talk to me. You don't think something could be wrong…do you?"
Her mother's eyes filled with tears, praying that her guess was wrong. She looked at Adrienne, and she could tell that Adrienne would start hyperventilating if she didn't say anything to her.
"Uh, I think you just have a little virus or something. It should go away sooner or later. You don't have to worry." Her mother bit her lip, and Adrienne knew she was lying.
"You know something, and I would like to know what you know."
Her mother walked into her room and started getting dressed as she let the tears flow freely. As much as she didn't want to believe it, she had no choice. Adrienne walked into her room, her hands shaking as she texted Grace.
I need you to come over here after school. I think something's wrong, but I don't know what it is.
She ran into the bathroom, holding her mouth, and threw up in the toilet as she started to get mad at the fact that she was throwing up uncontrollably. After freshening up once again, she walked into her room and noticed that Grace had texted her back.
I'm ditching today, so I'll come by in a few minutes.
She laid down on her bed and started flipping her phone in the air until she heard her mother's footsteps in the kitchen.
"Bye, Adrienne!"
Her mother walked out of the house, leaving Adrienne with no answers.
!
Grace knocked on the Adrienne's door as she let Adrienne know she was outside. Adrienne slowly opened the door, barely moving. She let Grace in, and they went into her room.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I'm having a crisis here, and I don't even know what I'm having a crisis for."
"Well, what happened?"
"My mom saw me coming home and told me that she needed to talk to me, so we talked. She started asking me how I've been feeling, and she told I look like I gained a few pounds. I told her that I've been throwing up, feeling extremely tired, and I'm having a lot of headaches. Then, she just stopped talking, and she was about to cry. I asked her if she was okay and she didn't answer me, so I asked her again and she was lying to me. She just ran into her room, not saying anything else. I didn't know what to think, so I'm having a crisis because I don't know why my mom was freaking out. She won't say anything to me. Do you think something's wrong with me?"
"I'm pretty sure it's nothing."
Adrienne shook her head. "I'm getting down to the bottom of this. I won't be able to sleep unless I know what's really going on."
She grabbed her laptop from off of her desk and put in the symptoms she was having to her unknown "disease." The first thing that popped up was a Planned Parenthood webpage. Her heart racing, she clicked on the page and a list of symptoms came up. She scrolled through it and started when she realized that she had most of the symptoms.
"Oh my gosh, what if I'm pregnant?"
Grace's eyes bugged out of head. "Do you really think that you're pregnant? I don't know, Adrienne. That can't be possible."
"Well, I have pretty much all of these symptoms listed, and I think that I might be pregnant."
Tears streamed down her face as she mentally cursed at herself for being such an irresponsible slut. She looked up at Grace, who had her hand to her heart and her other covered over her mouth. Adrienne put her face in her hands and let the tears wet her hands as she shook, praying that this wasn't the case. She got up, grabbing her purse and keys, and put her shoes on.
"Adrienne, what are you doing?"
"I need to find this out, and sitting here isn't going to help me figure this out. Are you coming with me?"
Grace nodded as she put her shoes back on and grabbed her phone. Once they were in the car, Adrienne quickly put her fingers into her ears and waited for Adrienne to turn her music up full blast. After a few minutes of looking retarded with her fingers in her ears, she took them out and realized Adrienne's mind was may more concerned about her body than making sure her car was vibrating.
"Wow Adrienne, no booming radio; you're really scared aren't you?"
"Hell yeah, I'm fucking going insane here. I don't know if I'm pregnant or if I have some type of crazy disease that's doing this to me."
Moments later, she pulled into the parking lot of the drug store and ran in. She found the Feminine Needs aisle and started pouring dozens of pregnancy tests inside her basket she had grabbed when she entered.
"Adrienne, what are you doing?"
She continued pouring the whole row of tests into the basket as she looked at Grace. "I just want to be sure."
"Well, you don't need all of those. All you need to do is buy five, so buy five and let's get the hell out of here."
"No, five won't work. I'm buying a lot of these…you know they have faulty tests in here, so I need to be sure before the sticks say pregnant and I'm not or the opposite."
She told Grace to get another basket, and even though Grace was against buying a hundred sticks, she went and got the extra basket. Thirty-three sticks later, Grace and Adrienne were waiting patiently in the line as they got stares from random customers inside the store, some of them scoffing and making smart remarks. Adrienne turned around and almost slapped the hell out of all of them, but she knew she had to keep her cool.
"While you guys are calling me and her a couple of sluts, these aren't for us. We're making goody bags for our Sex Ed program, and these along with condoms are a part of the bag, so stop being so judgmental. How would you feel if you were holding two baskets full of pregnancy tests and I called you a slut? Exactly, you'd feel like shit so shut the fuck up and wait in line. Thank you."
She turned back around as Grace nudged her with her elbow. She mouthed, "That was rude."
Adrienne humped her shoulders and continued waiting patiently in the line as the woman behind her kept scoffing and mumbling things to herself about…everything. Ten minutes later, they were at the front of the line and the cashier was eyeing them both as she shook her head, scanning all of the tests.
Grace spoke up as the cashier stopped scanning and stared at her. "These tests are for our Sex Ed program, in case you're wondering."
The cashier's face went three shades lighter than before when she realized that the kids weren't having kids…at least that's what she thought.
Once they were done, they ran to Adrienne's car and were just about to pull off as the woman who constantly insulted them ran up and started waving her hands.
"What do you want, weird rude lady?"
"I just wanted to apologize for doing what I did in there. You're right; I shouldn't have insulted you like that or made you feel bad or anything. I just wanted to say sorry for being rude. Have a good night."
The lady walked to her car as Adrienne pulled out of the parking lot and sped to her house. When they got there, Adrienne sprinted to the house with a bag of tests and ran into the bathroom. Grace walked in and started throwing the bags into the bathroom and brought out three glasses of water.
"After you finish one, I need to refill it. This is going to be awhile."
Fifteen glasses of water later, Adrienne spread all of the sticks out onto her bed, pacing back and forth as Grace at on the edge of the bed and watched some of the results start to appear. Adrienne started noticing, and started looking down the aisles, her eyes filling with tears and her vision blurring. After a few shed tears, she could see and the salty river came streaming down her face.
"What do they say?"
"They're all positive…"
