Chapter 3- Positive

The test read positive. She was pregnant. Julie started crying. She heard her Dad calling for her and asking her if she was alright. Julie tires to pull herself together to answer her dad.

Julie answers her dad, "Yeah I am fine. I'll be out in a minute."

She puts the test and the box in the plastic bag from the store and puts it in her purse. She splashes some water on her face comes out of the bathroom and goes into her room. That night at dinner, Tammi talks about a party that is on Saturday.

"Julie, I forgot to tell you J.D.'s Mom is having a party on Saturday and we are going," said Tami.

Julie looked her mother and said "I am not going."

"What? Sweetheart yes you are!" said Tami.

Julie look over at her mother very angrily, "No I am not! J.D. took Matt's spot as quarterback and I will not go over to their house!"

She gets up from the dinner table and goes in her room slams the door. Her parents look at each other and are dismayed. Julie went in her bedroom and sat on her bed and cried. She felt so alone and she knew she should tell Matt, but she didn't want to stress him out before the game on Friday. She picked up her phone and called Tyra.

"Tyra?" said Julie. "Hey girl!" said Tyra.

"I am pregnant," said Julie.

Tyra gasped.

"Oh no!" said Tyra.

"I haven't told Matt yet," said Julie.

"You need to," said Tyra.

"I know. I don't want to stress him out. He is taking care of his grandma and he has football," said Tyra.

"You know there is more to life than football," said Tyra.

"No in my house," said Julie.

"Well, right now that baby is more important," said Tyra.

There is a knock on Julie's bedroom door.

"Julie?" said Coach Taylor.

"I have to go", Julie said to Tyra.

She hangs up the phone, and tries to make it look like she wasn't crying.

"Come in!" said Julie to her dad.

"I don't wan to go to that party either, but your Mother wants us to so we are going to go," said Coach Taylor.

"Okay," said Julie unwillingly.

"Is everything okay with you? Did you and Matt get into a fight?" asked Coach Taylor.

"No, I just don't feel good," said Julie.

"Okay," said Coach Taylor.

Coach Taylor gives Julie a kiss on the forehead.

"Get some rest," said Coach Taylor.

He shuts her bedroom door. The next morning Julie woke up and felt better. She picked out her outfit for the day and then she suddenly felt sick. She ran to the bathroom and puked in the toilet. This must be morning sickness she thought. There was a knock on the door. It was her Dad.

"You feeling better?" asked Coach Taylor.

Julie is still leaned over the toilet seat.

"Yeah!" said Julie.
