Hello fellow readers! Here is the next chapter to Heal Me.
Chapter 7: Negative
After Sav punched the hole in the wall and my parents thought I was pregnant things have been awkward. My mother agreed to go to the clinic for my pregnancy test today. I forgot I still have that date with Drew though.
"How did the parents react?" Clare asked.
"Well, Sav freaked out and is on a bounty hunter chase for the guy. My mother is being a little supportive, but my father won't talk, eat, sleep. He just sits in that chair in the living room. I'm worried and I want to know if you would go to my next appointment at the clinic with me?" I answered.
"Of course, I'd go with you! Everything will be alright. On happier terms, what about that date with Drew?" Clare said.
"Look, I don't have time for boys-"
"But you do need to relax! And Drew will show you fun. Look, if I go with Adam, it'll be better."
"Fine!" I whined.
"Good, so when is your appointment?" Clare asked.
"In a couple of hours. 5:00 p.m." I told her.
"Alls, it 4:30! Let's go!" Clare said frantically.
At the doctor's office, my mother is pacing around the perimeter of the small room. I'm shaking all over. Clare is praying intently. That was the longest 3 minutes of my life.
"Good news Miss Bhandari, you failed!" the doctor told me casually.
"What?" I asked.
"Well honey the pregnancy test you failed it."
"I"M PREGNANT!" I screeched.
"The test results came back negative you aren't pregnant."
"Oh, Allah thank you!" My mom praised.
Clare's face lit up as she hugged me. "I knew you'll be alright!"
"Mrs. Bhandari, can Alli celebrate with me at Little Miss Steaks?" Clare asks. I'm never going to hear the end of this.
"Of course and I'm sure Savtaj and Baba would be proud to hear this news!" My mother chimed.
"You will be back here if we can have a sample of your clothing from the night of your attack to trace the tiniest bit of DNA." the doctor told us. Inever touched that pile of clothes on the edge of my bed. It was too sickening.
"Uh, sure." I respond. We exit the doctor's office and head home.
