After our little discussion, we sat together, and watched a couple of movies until it started getting late. "I have work tomorrow, so I'm going to bed." Alissa announced, stretching after the second film finished. "Sure. It's about time I went to sleep too." I replied, turning off the T.V and putting the DVD away.
We both disappeared into our bedrooms. I changed into my night clothes and climbed into bed. I fell asleep promptly, entering a peaceful slumber.
The next morning, I woke at around half nine ish. I decided to get up, knowing I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep. I had a quick shower and got dressed, before heading out into the kitchen. I saw a note on the table. 'I will pick up a test for you after work – love Alissa. xx" I smiled, knowing that she wouldn't forget.
I didn't do much, just lounged around, watching a bit of Netflix and finishing my calculus homework. There wasn't really any point the teachers giving us any homework now though, we had done our exams, and were waiting for the results. I still did the homework anyway. I was half way through the newest American Horror Story episode, when Alissa came through the door, a bag in her hand.
"Here, I picked up three, just so you can be sure." She said, handing me the bag.
"Should I do it now?" I asked, worried.
"It would probably be best to leave it for a few days as you would only be a week in." she replied. "The results are more accurate after the second week."
"Oh, ok. I will leave it until next weekend or something then."
The week flew by. It was filled with school, movie nights with Alissa and of course, watching Calum's YouTube channel. They were really good! I was listening to the news as Alissa and I made dinner on Friday evening.
'One Direction have announced their opening act for their upcoming tour…'
"Ooh! I want to listen to this!" Alissa exclaimed, perking up as she heard the news.
'… the band goes by the name Five Seconds Of Summer, and they will be joining One Direction on tour…'
"Oh my God!" Alissa yelled, dropping the knife she had previously been holding.
"There's no way I can tell Calum I'm pregnant now…" I said, looking straight at Alissa.
"It's up to you. I can't make this decision for you Carrie."
"I will see how they do at their first show…" I spoke, keeping my voice steady. "If they do well, I won't tell Calum, as it could ruin his career."
Saturday came faster than I realised. Way too fast. Feeling exceptionally nauseous, I headed to the bathroom, tests in hand. Alissa had taken the day off, so she could be with me when I did it.
I opened the first box, and read the instructions before continuing. As I waited for the first results, I did the second and third tests. Alissa had come in, waiting nervously for the results too. We were just sat in silence, waiting. The timer went off on my phone, signalling that the first test was done. I picked it up nervously, my hand shaking, and turned it over. I gasped, a hand flying up to my face. A plus was clearly displayed.
I just passed it to Alissa as I picked up the other two, knowing what they were going to show. The second showed two lines, also showing that I'm pregnant. The third simply said 'pregnant 2 – 3 weeks'. I also passed them to Alissa, my face extremely pale.
"What do you want to do?" she asked, putting the tests back down.
"I'm definitely keeping it, but I don't know if I will tell Calum though…"
