(Abbey POV)
I got up and walked in on Mal and Rose talking very excitedly about some shopping trip.
"UGH! You guys you just went on a shopping trip how can you be going on another one?!?" I groaned. Grabbing some cereal and a bowl from the cupboard.
"We so can! Plus it has been ages since our last trip and this trip is so important. We can't not go!" She was bouncing up and down.
"What sale is on now? By the way I am so not going this time." I told them.
"There is no sale! And you have to come. You can't go to the prom in jeans!" Jo said.
"PROM! That is not for weeks!" I exclaimed.
"Urrr no. It's on Saturday. We have one week after that until the end of semester and then its 2 and a half months off. Hanging out with the guys and having the time of our lives!" Mal almost shouted.
"It can't be. You must have got the date wrong." I stuttered.
"You can go check on your calendar. The prom is this Saturday and we are going shopping today, tomorrow and Friday for dresses and accessories." Jo said.
I walked into my room in a daze. I went over to my calendar and checked the dates. Of-course they were right. How could I have lost track of all that time. Surely I would have known how much time had gone by because I would have had my.... OMGLV I haven't had my period in ages. I started counting backwards in my head. 3 weeks late. I checked again but on my calendar. NO! I couldn't be. How could I be? I only slept with him once. We used a condom. How could this happen? Okay Abbey calm down maybe it's a false alarm. You will go to the shop and buy a test. It will turn out to be negative it will have been a false alarm and everything would be fine. But what if it didn't turn out to be negative. What if it was positive? No it would definitely turn out negative. But I still needed to check. If I could get past Mal and Jo then I could go down to the shop and get a test. I could smash a glass and pretend that I got a really bad headache. Damn I couldn't do that I told them about Charlie. I would just feign ill.
I walked back into the other room and started to get out some medicine. They watched me and gave me a questioning look.
"I'm not feeling too well." I replied. Filling a glass with water. I put my hand, which had been holding a hand warmer, onto my head. Mal came over and put her hand to my forehead.
"Shit Abbey! You are burning up. I think you should stay home today and I will call in the office to say you're ill on my way in." She said.
"No I need to go in." I said, I knew if I said yes she would know that something was up.
"No Abbey! You are staying home deal with it. And before you 'but' NO BUTS!" She smiled. "I will see you later honey, I hope you feel better. Go back to bed."
I trudged back into my bedroom and put my iPod in. I waited for an hour to check that they were fully gone and would be at school, they got into my car and drove down to the store to get a test. I looked at them all and chose the ones that looked most accurate. I got four in case they got false readings. I paid then took them home.
I went straight to the bathroom to try. I did two and left them on the counter so they would finalise. I went into the kitchen and drunk as much as I could until I needed the loo again. I used the other two this time. I sat there for 10 minutes, fidgeting and getting impatient. Finally it was up.
I picked up the first one with my eyes closed. I took a deep breath and slowly opened them. I looked down at the little pink cross for I don't know how long before picking up the others. They were all positive. Shit. How the fuck was I going to tell Charlie. I knew that I was going to keep this baby. I sat down and but my hands to my stomach. I smiled. There was a bit of me and a bit of Charlie growing underneath my hands. A baby. Mine and Charlie's baby. Our baby.
I don't know how long I sat there for with my hands on my stomach. Thinking about the baby.
I picked up my phone and texted Charlie.
I need to speak to you
NOW
Can you meet me behind the Gym in 40 minutes?
Please be there!
Abbey
I started to get ready. Pulling on random clothes and brushing my hair. I went to do my teeth when I heard my phone go.
I will be there.
See you in 20
Love you
Xx
I went out to my car and climbed in carefully. I was already taking more care of my steps and actions and I had only found out 5 hours ago. I turned on the engine and drove to school.
I pulled into the side of the road just outside the school gates behind the gym. I took a deep breath calmed myself and walked round the corner to see Charlie.
As soon as I saw him I stopped. I stood there for a few seconds watching him lip lock with the girl he had once called a 'sheep', Shannon. How long had that been going on behind my back? I bet they were having a right laugh about it. I thought he loved me. I loved him, I trusted him.
He looked up and saw me, a look of guilt in his eye. I just shook my head and ran as fast as I could back to my car. I heard someone shouting behind me, then my name being called. But I could barely concentrate through my tears. I slammed the door of my car shut and drove off home. He wouldn't be able to catch me before I left. He would have to get to the other side of school and get his car then drive to my house from the front gate. He wouldn't be able to catch me before I left. I would be too fast and he wouldn't know where I would go either. He would probably just get bored of looking then go back to the slut. In fact he probably won't even bother looking. I rushed into the house and started packing as fast as I could.
