Jacey's Story
September 2024
School hadn't been in session for very long but Jacey was already having a tough time. She already dreaded signing up for honors classes because they had her running all over the school with all kinds of books, and lugging her down with a ton of homework just about every night. This was one time where she hated the fact that she and her brothers were so intelligent. She often wished that she could just live a normal life even for a little while. Being in an incredibly famous family didn't make going to school any easier either.
Besides her schoolwork, Jacey had another problem on her mind. She also had to deal with hiding her current relationship from her family. It wasn't the guy she was dating that she was afraid of them not approving of; it was someone he was related to who her family wasn't too fond of, especially Josh. From the end of the last semester Jacey had been secretly dating Shawn DiCamillo.
Keeping this a secret from her family wasn't an easy task at all. Now that they were back in school it had become even more difficult for them to hide their relationship. Rumors began to spread amongst the school but luckily those rumors weren't all that bad, yet, and they had not reached any of her family members. She knew that her secret would be safe for a little bit longer.
Shawn had asked her to go out with him one night. Jacey had to practically sneak out of the house just to meet up with him. As soon as they had met up she was really excited to see him. Something told her all day long that this wasn't going to be any ordinary date with Shawn. Right as she got into his car her pulled her into a deep, passionate kiss.
"So where are we going?" She asked after she pulled away for air
"Hmm… you know? I haven't decided. I guess we'll know when we get there." He said with a grin
"Well I'm sure it'll be nice where ever we go. It always is." She lightly held onto his hand as he drove
After the date Shawn wound up taking her back to his place. It as dark inside since Dico had been gone on a night shift at the hospital. Shawn smiled a little, knowing that he and Jacey could be there without any interruptions. He led her over to the couch where they easily sat in each other's arms. For a while the two of them sat on the couch making out until Shawn asked her if she would like to move into his bedroom.
The two of them lay on Shawn's bed with Shawn on top of her. She held her arms loosely around his neck as they kissed. They began to strip from their clothes as they continued to kiss. After a little bit, things had gotten heated up. Shawn stopped nibbling on her earlobe and then gazed into her sparkling eyes for a few seconds. She smiled lightly as she looked back up at him.
"You sure you're ready for this?" He asked with a whisper
Jacey just looked into his eyes, and nodded her head with a smile. He brought her into a deep, fiery kiss and then all the rest of the night seemed to melt together.
Jacey lifted her head and looked up towards the teacher. She hadn't been able to concentrate in school for a few weeks since the night she had spent with Shawn. But this morning she couldn't concentrate [iand[/i she didn't feel well. She decided to lie her head down on her desk once she started to feel a little faint. The rest of the day came and went in one big blur. For a while she couldn't understand why she wasn't feeling very well. All she knew was; this was a different kind of sick feeling than what she had ever felt before. It was then when she thought that she had a good idea of what was making her feel this way.
On her way home from school she stopped off at the nearest drug store. Once she stepped inside the store she nearly froze. She crept through different aisles before ducking into an aisle that shelved all kinds of feminine care products. She knew that the next aisle over would have the thing that she was looking for but she was too scared to go down that aisle, because she just knew that someone who knew her would have spotted her there. And there was no way that she would have been caught dead looking at pregnancy tests. She didn't even have the first clue what test to buy since there were so many.
Jacey pretended to be looking at the different tampons for a moment before looking at an older woman near by. This older woman seemed to be in her early to mid 20's, which made Jacey more comfortable about approaching. She managed to pay off this woman into purchasing a test for her. Jacey waited outside the store until this 20-something woman came out and handed her the test. After thanking her about a million times Jacey shoved the test into her backpack and went home.
Once she had made it home she was a little surprised and very much relieved that the only one there to greet her was Aila. Jacey knew that if she was going to confide in someone about this right then, Aila would be the best one. After talking to Aila about it, and nearly having her brothers find out, the two of them went upstairs and into the bathroom, locking the door behind them.
Aila was probably just as nervous about the test results as Jacey was. When it was time to check the results Jacey turned toward Aila and buried herself into her chest. Aila wrapped her arms around her and rubbed her back a little. Jacey was just was too scared to look at the test results. Aila would have looked but she thought that Jacey should have. Even though she had a pretty good idea what the results were; this was still the most frightening moment of Jacey's life. It wasn't that she was scared that she was pregnant; it was more that she was scared about what would happen if and when other people found out that she was pregnant; especially Shawn and her parents. The last thing that she ever wanted was to be a teenage mother but now she was going to have to face it.
