Chapter Two
Don't Tell Anyone
Massie fell onto her deep purple bed, not caring about keeping it perfect as she always did. She was pregnant for pete's sake. She cried a couple of silent tears and then the dam broke.
Salty tears came out of all direction, her face was a snotty mess, her hair was in her face and her makeup was was in streaks across her face. She stopped suddenly as she heard a tiny rap at her door.
"Massie? Are you okay? Are you crying, honey?" Massie heard her mom, Kendra ask.
Massie dried off her face before answering, "Yeah, mom I'm okay. Just cramps," she lied.
"Okay, do you want some pills for it? I have these really great ones that help me." the door started to open.
Massie jumped off the bed and ran to the door, shutting it. "No! I mean, no thanks. Don't come in...I'm not, um, dressed."
"Alright, well if the cramps get to bad, you know where to find be, okay?"
Massie rolled her eyes and sat down at her vanity, she looked at herself. She was a mess, she gave a small smile at her messy reflection. Suddenly, her phone buzzed. It was Landon.
(bold)
Landon: Hey babe, how r u? How was school? I wanna see u :)
Massie: Call me
His ringtone came on right way.
"Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone, I love you and that's what I really know"
"Hey, is everything okay?" Landon asked.
Massie was quiet as another tear fell down and onto her deep brown vanity.
"Okay, so I think that we should do something tonight. I hear that No Strings Attached is really good. Wanna go-"
"Landon, I'm pregnant." Massie interrupted.
"Yeah, Josh said it was stupid but, Sam said..." Landon stopped talking. "Wait, what did you say?"
"I'm pregnant Landon," Massie cried.
"Oh my gosh, are you joking?"
"No! Why would I be joking about this?"
"Okay, I'll be right there." Landon hung up.
-
"Who else have you told?" Landon asked Massie. They both sat on her bed, laying against her pillows, her head on his shoulder.
"Only Claire and you know." Massed answered.
"It's, umm, mine, right?" Landon asked warily.
Massie sat up and looked at him in horror, "Of course it's yours! I would never cheat on you!" she exclaimed.
Landon put his hands up in defense, "Okay, I was just making sure." Massie laid her head back on him.
"You need to tell your parents, Mass."
"Heck no."
"They're going to find out soon enough." Landon paused. "Unless...are you thinking about abortion?" he asked in shock.
Massie shrugged, "Well, I have thought about it. I would not have to worry about it anymore."
Landon got off the bed and stood over her, "No! I will not, and I repeat, will NOT, let you get an abortion."
"Keep your voice down! And it's my choice, not yours." Massie swung her legs over the bed and looked up at him.
"It's my baby! I'm it's daddy. Please don't Massie." Landon looked at her pleadingly.
"I don't know, okay. It would make everything easier." Massie said.
Suddenly, Landon grabbed her face and mashed his lips into hers. She giggled and they both fell onto the bed. He was laying on top if her and his fingers went to the hem of her purple tank and then she pulled away from him.
"Stop, that's how we both got into this mess." She said smirking up at him.
"Please don't do abortion," he said kissing the tip of her nose. She pushed him off of her.
"Alright, fine. I won't, but you have to help with everything. Hospital bills, maternity clothes, all that." she said.
He nodded, "Okay, I have been applying places, I'll get a job. Maybe you should too, it is your baby too."
Massie rolled her eyes. "I don't work."
Landon shrugged, "baby-sit, that way you can know know how to take care of a baby."
Massie froze, "Are we keeping it?"
Landon shrugged, "It's up to you." he sighed, "Are we going to tell your parents?"
"No! At least, not yet. Let's go to my doctor and make sure that I am really having a baby." Massie suggested. "I'll schedule an appointment tomorrow after school."
"Okay, then you'll tell your parents if you are?" Landon asked her.
Massie bit her lip, "Well...maybe not right after the visit..." she trailed off.
Landon shook his head and then got up, "I have to go. See you tomorrow, okay?"and then he left before Massie could protest.
Massie sat back down on her bed and called Alicia.
"Hola! Alicia here." she answered.
"Leesh...I think that I'm pregnant." Massie said shamefully.
"Haha! I knew it! I totally knew it! Why didn't you tell me?"
Massie sighed, "I just found out today, at lunchtime."
"Who else knows?" Massie could see Alicia's eyes lighting up, thinking that she was the first to know. She loved to know things before others, gossip was her specialty.
"Ummm...only Claire and Landon."
"Okay, one, is Landon the father? And two, how come Claire knew before I did?" Alicia sounded hurt.
"I asked Claire to get the pregnancy test for me. That's why she knows. And yes, of course Landon is the father." Massie answered.
"Can I be the one who tells the PC?" Alicia asked.
Massie rolled her eyes, "Fine, but Don't tell anyone else!" then she hung up.
