'That Night Two Months Ago'
(That Night Two Months Ago)
I anxiously tapped my pen against my desk, Just 1 more minuet till the bell! Ever since we arrived at this school 2 months ago I never dreamt I'd be dreading the last bell.
I looked to Derek who was staring at me curiously; I felt my cheeks burn with a blush as I quickly looked away from his compelling green eyes. My leg started to jig and I was finding it hard to make notes on Shakespeare's sonnet 116, I wondered if Derek had that view on our love.
I felt sick; I wasn't sure if it was from my… condition or if it was from nerves. The bell rang and I practically jumped out of my chair. I looked around and everyone was staring at me, I was breathing heavily and I was sure my creamy skin had turned green.
"Miss. Saunders, I'm sure I informed the class at the beginning that we would be stopping 5 minutes behind today" Mr. Brown said, looking at me with annoyance.
"Oh." I said shakily sitting down, my breath easing a little at the extra given time.
By now Derek was worried, studying my face, trying to figure out what's wrong. I noticed that Tori and Liz were also staring at me. Sure it was a little odd to jump up like that but they were going over the top.
For the next 5 minutes different reactions played out in my head. I felt like I was going to explode. We were finally dismissed and this time I was the last to stand up. "Chloe, are you ok?" Derek asked
I just mumbled that I wasn't feeling to well and walked out the class. He reached for my hand, I noticed girls watching envious that I had the hot guy. I flinched as our hands connected and he pulled his back, keeping a distance between us.
We walked to the car and clambered in, me in the passenger seat and him driving whilst Tori, Simon and Liz chatted about their day. I was praying for traffic, to delay our journey, but of course it was smooth driving as we got home in record time.
I trudged inside slowly and went to go sit in the study. I sat on the padded leather spinny chair and pulled my knees up to my chest. I sat there for a while, watching the sun start to set through the tall sinister trees of the nearby forest.
I heard footsteps outside the door, I held my breath and sunk further into the chair, knowing exactly who it was and not wanting to face them. The door creaked open and I heard him enter the room and stand behind me.
"What are you doing?" He asked, I jumped causing me to fall off the chair.
"Jeez you startled me" I moaned quietly "Make some noise will you?"
"You say that every time" He laughed, doubling over in fits of laughter at my skittishness. I just stood there impatiently waiting for him to stop. When he did his loving smile made me smile.
"And yet you never learn"
"Chloe are you ok?" He asked concerned for me as always. I smiled shakily and unconvincingly told him I was fine "You're not, I know you Chloe, something's wrong"
I knew I couldn't avoid it forever but just a few more days would've been fine. I sighed, looking at my feet and shifting awkwardly. Scared of how he would react. " I need to talk to you" I said walking off into my room.
Seconds later he joined me and sat beside me on the bed. I turned to look at him, my nerves were going haywire and I felt physically sick. I jumped up and ran into the bathroom, hunching over the toilet bowl as I threw up for several minutes, I heard Derek approach me and hold back my hair and rub my back as I continued to painfully retch.
When I was confident I had finished I brushed my teeth and washed my face, watching Derek study me with worried eyes through the mirror. I walked back to my bed and collapsed back down on it. I could tell Derek was getting annoyed with all the moving about, but for me it was just buying more time.
He sat back down next to me and this time when I looked at him I didn't feel the need to be sick, but the unease of what I was about to say was still there. What would he do? What would he say? I knew that there were two possible solutions: he could get incredibly mad and make the thunder shy away and abandon me, or he could be incredibly happy and excited. With the way my life is I doubt it would be the latter.
I focused my eyes on my shaking hands before looking him in the eyes "Oh, t-t-his is s-s-so h-hard to s-s-ay Derek!" I stuttered, my breathing turning into hyperventilating, I pushed my head between my legs in an attempt to calm down.
"Oh god," He breathed devastated; when I looked at him curiously he continued "You're breaking up with me, I knew it, you've been avoiding me all day. You flinch when I touch you; even the others have noticed"
"What? No! I'm not breaking up with you!" I said in horror; however whether or not we would be together after this was uncertain
"Then what is it?" He asked softly reaching out and grasping my hand
"I-I-I'm… w-w-we… I-I-I" I stuttered, unable to form the correct words to say
"Speak slow, you can tell me"
"I think I'm pregnant!" I rushed in one breath, biting my lip afterward waiting for him to explode.
"You, WHAT?" He shouted Standing up and flinging his arms out. I knew it… I knew it.
"D-Derek, p-please" I whimpered, wanting him to calm down. I felt the sudden urge to throw up again, but apparently I needed to cry first as a tear rolled down my cheek.
"I can't believe this! How? When did it happen?" He shouted glaring at me.
"I don't know… about 3 weeks ago, I don't know it's not like it only happened once!"
"How, you were on the pill?"
"It must have been when I was ill that time, I didn't realise…" I tried to explain but he didn't seem to listen
"Didn't realise! Oh my God Chloe, what are we going to do?" He shouted, unable to look at me. I felt ashamed, I knew this would happen. Nothing ever went right in my life. I had the best boyfriend ever, everyone was happy… but then we started school and the worry of who's a ghost and who's an actual human, Josh was practically stalking me and now this! Why did it all have to go wrong?
"Derek, please calm down we can figure it out" I pleaded with him, the last thing we needed was the adults finding out. Not right now anyway.
"Chloe, do you even understand what this means? We are going to have a baby, possibly even babies! Whilst we are still in school! You're only 15 and I'm 16, do you think that's the right age for a kid, one we don't even know if it will have any kind of problems like us? Whilst we are on the run!"
"I know Derek; I'm not stupid, how the hell do you think I feel? I'm the one that this is happening to, you get to decide in this and I don't!" It was my turn to yell this time as I unleashed all my worry and anger our on him "We can't escape this… there is still the possibility I'm not pregnant though so just calm down!"
"How do you know? If you're pregnant," He asked, his voice going quieter" Did you take a test?" I nodded looking down "And it was positive?" He seemed gentler now, as though he just needed to come to terms.
"B-But I only t-took one, y-you're s-supposed t-to take t-two" I stuttered quietly
"Why us? Haven't we suffered enough?" He moaned, rubbing a hand through his hair
"Something's we just can't control"
"Yes we can, if you had realised then this wouldn't have happened!" He snapped, I was clearly wrong about him getting to terms with it…
"So this is all my fault! It's always my fault isn't it?" I yelled, infuriated that once again this was my fault.
"Well if you weren't so-" He started to yell but I cut him off
"Weren't so what? What Derek? Stupid?" I yelled, furious that he was actually saying this
"No" He said but I glared at him, seeing straight through whatever he was trying to pull "Fine, yes ok if you weren't so stupid!"
I spun away from him, unable to look at him. What had happened? Where had the Derek I had fallen for gone? He would never do this. Maybe he was right; maybe it was my entire fault.
"I need to go" He said suddenly heading for the door "I can't do this. Not now" I spun round heavy tears plummeted from my eyes and soaked the t-shirt I was wearing. He couldn't leave, what if he never came back?
"P-please Derek don't, come back! I'm trapped in this, I don't get to run! I-I-I'm s-s-scared D-Derek! I'm so scared!" I sobbed, he looked back, his eyes shining in the now dark room. They closed as if he was in grief and he walked out closing the door behind him. His last words echoed around the black room "I'm sorry," A taunting whisper as yet again I was betrayed by someone I loved.
Only one thought managed to break through the shock of what he just did Will he ever come back?
(Present day)
I looked around the kitchen, they were all waiting anxious of what had had me so depressed all this time. The words were lodged in my throat "I'm s-sorry I can't… I have to go" I choked out and bolted out of the front door. Faint calls of my name following me as I ran into the night.
So what did you think?
I hoped you liked, and as the majority of you guessed... SHE IS PREGNANT! or is she...
I havent decided on whether or not she should be so please tell me in the review whether or not she should be because this story line can go either way.
