CHAPTER 2: THE DEAL
Amber
Oh my God what am I going to do? I am pregnant. I have been for a whole month now. Oh God. Jerome is going to break up with me and my parents will disown me. Oh God. My parents! Crap! I mean they treat Jerome as a son but they are going to be so mad. I am going to be cut off. I will have no money and I will be a hobo! OH GOD! I have to stop worrying, it causes wrinkles!
I walk upstairs and find all the girls in my room.
"Hey guys." I say.
"Hey Amber" They say.
I need to tell them. What are they going to think. Especially when they find out Jerome is the father! CRAP! Alright, I need to tell them. I have to tell them. I can't tell them. But, I must tell them. Ohhhhhh.
"Girls can I tell you something you have to promise not to tell anyone?" I say.
They all nod.
"I am pregnant." I say and start crying.
"OH MY GOD!"Patricia says.
"Shhhhh" Joy says.
"What am I going to do?" I ask while crying. Nina comes over and starts rubbing my back.
"First question. Who is the father?" Nina asks.
"I cannot tell you yet." I say.
"Second question. How far along are you?" Nina asks.
"One month" I say quietly.
They all nod and then Patricia gets a mischievous glint in her eye.
"I have an idea." She says.
"What?" Mara asks.
"What if we all got pregnant" She says.
"WHAT!" I say.
"This way you do not have to go through it alone." Patricia says.
"I am in. I love Fabian and I will do anything to help my best friend." Nina says.
"Even though I just got with Alfie in July I can tell he is the one. I am in." Joy says.
"I love Mick so sure" Mara says.
"It was my idea so I am also in." Patricia says.
I smile.
"So this is the deal. We all get pregnant by the end of the week and no one can put the kid up for adoption or have an abortion." Joy says.
"Are you guys sure you want to do this?" I ask.
"Hell yeah." Patricia says.
We all go down for supper and see Alfie, Fabian, Mick and Eddie sitting there.
I walk out of the room looking for Jerome.
He is sitting on his bed.
"Hey." I say.
"Hey Ambs" He says
"Why aren't you at supper?" I ask.
"I was there but you were not and I missed you." He says.
"I missed you too Boo" I say.
He smiles at me.
"Come to my room after supper" I say.
"Okay, What about Nina?" He asks.
"She is going out with Fabian" I say.
"Okay. And what are we going to do when I get there?" He asks smirking.
"Sex" I say simply.
"Okay!" he says smirking at me. Wow he is so excited. Ever since I got pregnant in the beginning of August I have wanted to have sex so much.
"Lets go eat I'm starved." I say.
I walk in front of him by a few steps so no one will expect anything.
I sit down and see pasta and salad
I take a lot of pasta and a lot of salad. I also get really hungry.
"Is Amber Millington eating carbs?" Jerome says smirking.
"Why yes I am Jerome Clarke " I say.
He nods and grabs pasta.
Under the table he takes my hand and squeezes it. If only he knew.
I see Patricia whisper in Eddies ear. He smirks and grabs her hand and pulls her out of the room. She winks at me and I smile.
"We are heading out" Fabian says with Nina right by his side.
Alfie and Joy go on the couch and Mara and Mick are sitting right next to them.
I stand up to leave but get sick. I rush to the bathroom and throw up again.
I am throwing up my wonderful dinner and I feel someone pull my hair back. They start rubbing my back.
"Babe, You okay?" Jerome whispers.
"Just that virus" I say standing up.
I start brushing my teeth.
"I think we should go to the doctor" He says.
"No" I say.
"Well you have been throwing up for the past month so either it could be something serious."He says.
"I am fine" I say.
"Okay Amber. How about we go upstairs and I will make you feel better" he says winking.
I smirk and follow him upstairs and into my room. I love him. Should I tell him? No. It is not the right time.
We stop at my door and I kiss him and he opens the door. I feel him smirk into the kiss. I love him so much.
