Chapter 6:
Oops.
Lil was due for her period a week later. The day she usually got her monthly visitor eventually came. She didn't have her period yet. She was scared. She hadn't been late for her period since she first got it when she was 12. 3 more days had past and she still hadn't got it. She checked at least 3 times a day at school. She was scared to death.
One day at lunch Lil couldn't take it anymore. She just sat at a table and cried her eys out. Someone tapped her shoulder.
"Hi, are you okay?" said a girl.
Lil looked up and said "Not really."
"I'm Jessica Smith." said the girl. She didn't look like the rest of the girls at her school. She wor the same kind oc clothes as Lil and was nice.
"Hi. I'm Lil DeVille."
"I know I just met you but, can I help you?" asked Jessica.
"Only if you can keep a secret." said Lil
"I can." said Jessica.
"Okay then." said Lil. "I slept with the guy I love and now I missed my period."
"Oh my god." said Jessica. "Didn't you use protection?"
"No, he for got to bring condoms. I told him to pull out, but I guess that didn't work."
"Does the guy go here?" asked Jessica.
"No. He's been my best friend since we were like babies and he used to be my neighbor before I moved." said Lil. "and we moved because our parents got tinto a huge fight, so we sleep with eachother every time we go to a friend's party or there's an open dance at his school." answered Lil.
"It must suck having to sneak around." said Jessica.
"Yeah it does. I love him so much." said Lil, who wa tyrying so hard to hold her tears back. "My mom would kill me if she knew I might be pregnant and she'd kill me ten times worse if she knew it was his baby."
"Why don't you come to my house with me after school and you can take a pregnancy test." said Jessica. "That way if you're not pregnant, your mom never has to find out."
"Okay, I'll meet you outside in the front of the school." said Lil. "Thanks Jessica."
"Your welcome." answered Jessica. "Want a hug?"
"Sure." said Lil.
They hugged and Jesssica said "You're gonna get through this girl, I know you can."
The next three periods felt like they were hours long. Lil was still scared out of her mind. What would she say to her mother if she was pregnant? What would she tell Tommy? After all, Lil felt like it was her fault for telling Tommy to go in even without a condom.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lil met Jessica and they walked to the drugstore. They bought a pregnancy test and as sanck. They walked to Jessica's house. Her hous reminded Lil of her old house next to Tommy's.
Jessica introduces Lil to her mom. Jessica's mom was tall and blonde, unlike Lil's mom. Jessica's mom talked quietly and soothing.
"Hi mom, this is Lil." said Jessica. "we're going upstairs to do homework."
"Hi Lil, nice to meet you." said Jessica's mom.
"Nice to meet you too." said Lil.
After that Lil and Jessica went upstairs. They wtook out the pregnancy test. They had to wait ten minutes to see the results. Those ten minutes were the longest ten minutes in Lil's life.
"What if your mom sees the package?" asked Lil.
"don't be afraid to tell her." said Jessica. "Seh's cool and we're close. She also realizes we're going to make mistakes."
"That's cool. I wish I was close with my mom." said Lil.
"Do you have any brothers or sisters?" asked Jessica.
"Yeah, I have a twin brother." said Lil.
"That's so cool. It's only me and my mom." said Jessica. "that's probably why we're so close."
"What happened to your dad?" asked Lil.
"I never met him. My mom had me when she was 15, so she should understand your situation." said Jessica.
Ten minues finally passed by. Jessica looked at the test first because Lil was so nervous.
"So.." said Lil.
"Look yourself." said Jessica.
Lil looked and it was blue. She started to cry really hard.
"My life is over Jessica." Lil said between sobs.
"No it isn't." said Jessica. "You can hide it from your mom until you have a plan. But you should tell her in a few months, but you should tell your boyfriend."
"Are you guys okay?" aksed Jessica's mom.
"I ma, but I don't think Lil is." replied Jessica.
Jessica's mom came upstairs to the bathroom.
"What's wrong Lil?" asked Ms. Smith.
"I just made the biggest mistake of my life." sobbed Lil, as she showed Ms. Smith her pregnancy test.
"Aww honey, what happend?" asked Ms Smith.
Lil told her the whole story and Ms smith said that her and Jessica would help Lil through this.
"I got to go home. I have to talk to my boyfriend." said Lil.
Jessica and Lil gave eachother their phone numbers anmd screennames. Then Ms. Smith gave Lil a ride home.
"Don't worry honey, you'll make it through this." said Ms Smith. "I know I did."
"Thanks." said Lil. "You guys have alredy helped me a lot."
"Stayt strong" said Jessica. "I'll be online all night if you need me. If not, call us. We'll try to help."
