Chapter 4 – You can't be Pregnant
I woke up the next morning ready for a new day thinking everything that had happened was a dream. Until I saw a rip in my dress. It brought tears to my eyes but I held back the tears from coming out. It was Monday and I realized it was going to be the hardest day in the world. How can I walk around school knowing a guy that almost raped me is there? I thought to my self. The thoughts continued to repeat them selves in my head.
I got ready for school. I was scared, betrayed, and alone. I wasn't my self but then I realized I wasn't going to be myself for a long time. What he did was wrong and in a way it traumatized me. No one knew what had happened but me Aaron and Chad, and I wanted to keep it that way. Of course I was going to have to tell Clarissa and Megan. I gathered up my courage and walked over to Aaron's house so that he could give me a ride. Until the moment he answered the door I had actually forgotten he had kissed me.
"You ready to go." He asked in a somewhat upset tone. I shook my head yes and got into the car.
We got to the school and I stepped out of the car, everything looked the same but felt so different. No longer did I look for Chad's car to see if he was there. Now I looked for it out of fear. Clarissa and Megan meet me and gave me a hug and they immediately asked what was wrong.
"You first." I said knowing something had happened to Clarissa.
"I did it. Nick and I made that BIG step in our relationship." She said. Her face was glowing with joy.
"Congrats." I said as my voice started choking up and my eyes started watering. "Oh my god, what's wrong?" Megan asked. I sat down and started crying again. I explained what had happened and I watched as their jaws dropped open and they grew angry.
"Why the hell would he do that!?!" Clarissa jumped up and yelled.
"You guys can't tell anyone." I said.
"Okay but can I talk to Chad?" Megan asked
"NO!!!!" We sat there until the bell rang.
I stood up and turned around to see Chad. No longer did I see a hot guy, I saw a person filled with anger just as I was at that moment. He turned and our eyes meet. I turned away immediately and headed to class.
4 weeks later:
I got a phone call from Clarissa early this morning she didn't say much but then again there really wasn't much to say. The only words I heard were "I think I'm pregnant."
I left my house and went to the nearest gas station; I picked up a pregnancy test and went to the counter to purchase it. The cashier gave me dirty looks. I debated on whether or not to say it wasn't mine but then realized it was none of her business.
I raced to Clarissa's house where I meet Megan and Clarissa. Clarissa was crying. I handed her the test and she broke down.
"I can't do this." She said through her tears. Finally she gathered the strength to go into the bathroom. She was in there for about 5 minutes and Megan and I were anxious to see what is said; hoping it was negative. She finally came out in tears. Right then we knew what the answer was. There was no need to say anything; Megan and I sat on the couch and comforted her.
"I can't be pregnant! I'm only fifteen!" She said. That's when the doorbell rang. I got up to answer it and it was Nick.
"Um, nick I don't think right now is the best time."
"Why what's going on? Is Clarissa ok?" "Um…" then Clarissa showed up at the door.
"I'm pregnant Nick."
