Chaper 22: Doctor's Appointment

~Lil's PoV~

As soon as I walk into my house, my mom gives me a look and I walk back out to the car. "I'm sorry," I say for the millionth time.

"You're the one that wanted the appointment in the first place, you should have remembered."

"I'm sorry, it slipped my mind. It won't happen again."

Mom doesn't say anything, she just unlocks the car and gets in. I sigh and get in. I shouldn't have said anything about going to the doctor's in the first place. I was just tired of my period hurting so bad, I needed birth control to help it. I got the idea after my mom said something about birth control.

I turn on the radio and switch it to some alternative station, Amy's favorite station. I hum along to a familiar tune and look out the window. I get bored after a while and send Amy a selfie of my being weird.

'You're so weird. Ily.' She texts back.

'My mom got mad at me' I reply back.

'I'm sorry. :( 3' She send a selfie of her frowning.

I giggle. 'Who's weird now? Weirdo'

'Why thank you ;D'

My mom parks and I tell Amy I have to go. "You're going in with me, right?"

"If you want me to," mom replies back.

I nod. "I do."

The doctor takes forever to come and when she does show up, she begins to ask stupid questions. "Ever smoked, drank, or did drugs?" She asks.

"No," I bite my nails.

"Sexually active?"

I freeze. I was going to have to say yes. I was avoiding telling my mom. "I…..yes." I don't look at my mom.

"This pill doesn't help with pregnancy," the doctor warns.

"I know. I have a girlfriend."

The doctor nods and types at her computer. "All caught up on shots, I'll be right back."

I want to scream 'don't leave' but I stay silent.

Once the doctor is gone. "Phone," Is all my mom says. I hand her my phone and look at the wall. "We'll talk when we get home."

I didn't know what to expect when I got home. But as soon as the door was closed, the yelling began. "What did I say about having sex, Lillian?" Everyone is quiet, Phil retreats to his room. "You promised til marriage. And you didn't tell me."

"Cause I knew you'd freak out like you are now, mom. I wouldn't be surprised if Amy could hear you from her house!"

"Good, if she does hear me then she'll know how furious I am!"

"I don't see what the big deal is."

"The big deal is that you didn't listen to me! Lillian, I'm your mother and you didn't listen to me. What is the point of having rules if you don't listen?"

"Can I go to my room?"

"No, we're going to have a conversation."

"This isn't a conversation. Its you yelling at me!"

"Listen to me and I wouldn't have to yell!"

"What's my punishment?" I don't feel like having this discussion at all and I wanted it to be over.

"No Amy."

"What?" No, no, no. She can't just take Amy away from me. "That's not fair! She's my girlfriend! I can't just not see her! You can't tell me not to see her!"

"I just did."

Tears form in my eyes and run down my face. "THIS ISN'T FAIR! YOU'RE SUCH A…A…" I growl in frustration and run off to my room. I slam my door and pack my book bag full of clothes. This wasn't happening, this couldn't be happening. All over something so stupid? I wasn't going to just give up on my relationship with Amy because my mom said so.

I throw my bag again the wall and then pull my blanket and pillows off my bed. The tears make my vision blurry but I ignore it. I crawl under my bed and lay down. Maybe she'd change her mind and give over it.
