Hello! SO sorry for not updating as quickly as I would have hoped. A-Levels are such stressful things! Hoping to keep on track with everything!
Chapter Two
Aria studied the text again, seeing the screen begin to blur within her own eye sight. How had –A found her, why was she so important? She had done as –A told her those weeks ago, making her leave everyone/everything she loved behind her so that this cruel person couldn't ruin their lives nor her's anymore. Aria was stupid enough to believe this was the end of this, but of course it wouldn't be that simple. Without hesitation she quickly turned the phone off hiding it under the sofa as a way of forgetting it ever existed and tried to close her eyes as she pulled the blanket around her body tighter.
Without realising she drifted off into her sleep, the dreams being possessed by evil and memories of those past weeks flooding her mind while she was unconscious. She got up quickly, brushing back the stray hairs and gained enough energy to make herself a cup of tea to help her fully wake up and allow her to begin the tough process of heading back into the town of where she only knew 3 people and would begin to register to all the health centres that were nesccary.
She went into her bedroom, and pulled out a comfortable baggy top with some plain jeans and put on her favourite converses before grabbing her bag which was full of the nessescites for the day and then left locking the door behind her.
She began walking down the street, the houses and shops on either side of the bricky path were beginning to feel familiar and she began realising how to get around this small location she was stuck in. the sign above the door indicating 'doctors' was her first stop. She had promised just about everyone back home that if she ever went away she'd take good care of herself. Of course they meant when she went away to university, not when she runaway without a single word to anyone. She looked in seeing the dozens of people seated, some reading magazines, and small children playing with books and toys in the corner then to the side was the desk. She walked up confidently to the middle aged woman who smiled only too pleased to help her.
"Hello, my name is Aria, and I'm new to your town. I was wondering if I could register with this clinic" Aria seemed nervous, but the woman only smiled and handed her a form with instructions on them.
"Thank you" Aria removed herself from the desk, sitting down comfortably on one of the chairs that was available and began filling in the form. She was going through the questions, reading them loudly in her head as she either ticked or crossed the box or wrote in the nesccary details that needed to be provided. She struck upon one question, something she hadn't even considered, something she completely forgot to look into before she left, nor was it the main priority in her life with all of the –A drama recently.
'Are you, or could you be pregnant?'
Aria froze. Re-reading the question over and over. Was she? Wasn't she? Before she left her and Ezra had always been close, and intimate for sure. But she wasn't so sure anymore. Before she'd keep track on that sort of thing and so would he, always making sure every time was safe and they were both comfortable. But in this second Aria was confused by when she could remember her last period and when she was last feeling not so under the weather and exhausted. The only thing in the back of her mind which didn't lead to her the positive conclusion was she wasn't being sick as of yet.
She got herself back up and went towards the lady again, handing her the form. "I couldn't answer one question" Aria's head sank and her cheeks turned a slight shade of pink. She had never been in this situation before and never without her mother by her side. Right now she would have loved her mom here, she would have known how to deal with this, she would have shouted but right now Aria needed someone to shout at her and tell her how to handle everything and what to do.
The lady from the desk got up quickly and exited. She came back within in seconds and spoke quickly to Aria. "Our doctor, Doctor. Simms is a lovely lady and she will be your assigned doctor. She is free right now if you want to go see her and have tests done?" the woman offered Aria and she nodded eagerly back. She needed to know either way and if this was happening she had to plan ahead and be prepared for what was coming.
Aria quietly walked through into the room where the receptionist had suggested, knocking patiently onto the door before hearing a femine voice command for her to come in. she walked into the small room, the doctor in front had long brown hair, a fair completion and was smiling towards Aria. she pointed to the chair opposite her desk for the young patient to sit in.
"So what can i do for you today...Aria?" she looked at the piece of paper for the young lady name on before using her name to make her feel less scared and intimated.
"I think i might be" she couldn't even say the last word. she didn't dare. the small tears began to release themselves onto her cheek and before she knew it the doctor had moved her chair closer to Aria's with an arm around her and a box of tissues in her other hand. "Thank you" Aria spoke through her sobs.
"What do you think about us, doing a few tests, while you're here then we'll let you know with an appointment tomorrow?" the doctor suggested, seeing Aria nod sweetly beyond exhausted from her crying.
