Chapter 14 Upside Down

Chapter 14

A few weeks have passed and they have been the hardest weeks ever. Ricky and I haven't spoken at all. He tried to come up to me once and I walked away. I think it is literally making me sick, I've been feeling horrible and throwing up all week. I guess this is what depression feels like, tired and throwing up. Thank God it is Christmas break. My phone rings and its Adrian, I answer, "I'm not taking no for answer, girls night tonight chic flicks and pizza!"

Amy: "No, I don't feel well."

Adrian: "Too bad we are here already, open your door."

I answer the door and we all fight about what movie to watch.

Amy: "Nothing romantic!"

Grace: "Yes, I want to watch Dear John."

Adrian: "Let's watch Dirty Dancing"

Amy: "That's my favorite but I don't feel like watching it."

Grace: "How about we just talk, Amy we are worried about you. You don't look very well. "

Adrian: " You've been throwing up a lot, could you be pregnant?"

Amy: "No, I'm on birth control and we used condoms."

Grace: "But didn't the condom break the first time? What if Mike didn't use one?"

Amy: "OMG! I haven't had my period."

Grace: "We brought a test just in case."

I go to the restroom to take the test and we are waiting for the results. My heart is beating really fast and it is hard to breathe.

A few minutes have passed and I say "I can't bear to look at it"

Adrian: "Aww I'm sorry Amy It is positive."

Amy: "Oh my gosh, I don't know what I'm going to do?"

Grace and Adrian: "Don't worry, we are here for you."

Amy: "How am I going to know who the father is?"

Adrian: "They will be able to tell when you got pregnant, when you go to the doctor."

Amy: "I can't have a baby! I am not ready."

Adrian: "There is always adoption."

Amy: "Maybe that is my best option."

Grace: "If you think you want to keep the baby we will all help you. We love you. You are not alone!"

Amy: "I don't know what I want to do."

Grace and Adrian: "We understand!"

Grace: "Let's start a movie and take our mind off of it for now."

Adrian: "I agree. What movie?"

Adrian: "How about 21 Jumpstreet? Not a chick flick and you still get to enjoy Channing Tatum!"

Grace and Amy: "Oh, Yes!"

In the morning before school I make a Doctor's appointment on my lunch hour. Today is going by so slow. Finally it is lunch time and I walk to my locker to put up my things up and grab my purse. Adrian and Grace come up to me and ask "Do you want us to go with you?" I reply "Thanks but I think I should go alone, I will call you guys afterward though"

On my way out school walking to my car I see Ricky and we make eye contact, I want to go over and hug him and tell him I'm so sorry for everything but I look away and keep walking.

After my doctor's appointment I call Adrian and Grace.

Amy: "I'm pregnant and because I don't remember when my last period was she can't determine how far along I am. They are going to do an ultrasound in another week or two to find out."

Adrian: "That sucks."

Amy: "I know this is eating me alive I don't think I can keep it a secret from Ricky. I need to talk to him."

Adrian: "Don't you want to wait to see who the father is first?"

Amy: "Either way he deserves the truth. Hopefully he will forgive me."

I go back to school my stomach is queasy and I feel like throwing up. I decide to look for Ricky and I see him at his locker. My heart starts to ache because I think he is going to hate me. I go over to him and say "We need to talk, it is important. Please come by house after school."

Ricky: "Sure Ames"

Ricky POV

After Amy leaves I wonder what she wants to talk about. I'm hoping she is ready to forgive me and us get back together. Ben comes over and asks, "Is everything okay?"

Ricky: "Good, I think she wants to get back together. She must miss me like I've been missing her."

Ben: "Good luck bro."

After school I go over to Amy's house, when she answers the door I give her a big hug and say " I've missed you so much."

Amy: "You know I have missed you, but we need to talk."

Ricky: "What's going on?"

Amy: "I don't know how to tell you this. After I broke up with you that night I went to a party and was drinking a lot."

Ricky: "Yeah, I remember that."

Amy: "The thing is… I don't remember what happened, but I do know that I was with Mike the next morning when I woke up."

Ricky: "I can't believe you, you have been making me feel guilty for flirting for weeks and you were with Mike that night!"

I'm so angry at her, I feel like my head is going to explode. I've never felt betrayal like this before.

Amy: "There is more."

Ricky: "How could there be more?"

She starts balling and she blurts out "I'm pregnant."

Ricky: "Are you kidding me?!"

Amy: "Please don't hate me."

Ricky: "Who's the father?"

Amy: "I don't know yet, why do you want to know if you are off the hook?!"

Ricky: "You have a lot of nerve!"

Amy: "I'm sorry I just don't know what to do."

Ricky: "First nice innocent girl I date goes and possibly gets knocked up by another guy, what's wrong with this picture?"

Amy: "I didn't mean to sleep with him, I love you! Ricky, I've only ever loved you."

Ricky: "How could you act so self-righteous all these weeks when you went whoring around?!"

Amy starts balling and says, "You broke my heart and we had broken up! I was drunk and didn't know what I was doing or even know what I did."

Ricky: "Now you're just like every other slut I dated."

Just then Jake barges in and says "That's enough, get the hell out. Leave her alone."

Ricky: "Gladly"

I storm out slamming her door shut, who the hell does Jake think he is getting in the middle of our business. He has no idea how lucky he is that I just left instead of beating the crap out of him!

I get home and slam the door to my room. I see the picture of Amy and I on my dresser and it infuriates me, I throw it into the wall. Ben comes in my room and says

Ben: "What's wrong now?"

I start to tear up a little, "Amy is pregnant, she slept with Mike and she doesn't know who the father is."

Ben: "Damn, I'm sorry bro."

Ricky: "Don't tell dad. Not until we know who the father is."

Ben: "Please tell me you didn't say anything that you are going to regret tomorrow? I know you have a temper."

Ricky: "Well I'm not regretting it."

Just then my phone rings and it's Amy. I decide to pick it up.

Ricky: "Did you forget to tell me about any other guys you slept with?!"

Amy: "Wow, that is harsh. I guess I deserve it. Ricky I'm so sorry about everything, I love you and only you."

Ricky: "You should of thought of that before miss perfect."

Amy: "I thought you were cheating on me."

Ricky: "Yeah, whatever makes you feel better."

Amy: "Well given your past and the pictures that were sent to me made you look guilty."

Ricky: "So you go and give yourself to the first guy you see!"

Amy: "It wasn't like that and you know it!"

Ricky: "Well then tell me what it was like?!'

Amy: "I was upset and drunk and he comforted me!"

Ricky: "Well maybe I will go get some comforting tonight!"

She hangs up on me and I punch a hole in my wall.
