Nick sighed as he hung up the phone. Jamie was on her way over. How could he tell her? Questions raced through his mind. Suddenly, the doorbell rang, bringing Nick back to reality. He opened the door and saw Jamie standing there. Jenny flew from her seat and ran over so that Jamie would pick her up. They laughed.
"Whatcha dooin?" Jenny asked. Jamie laughed.
"I'm here to talk to your big brother." She said. Jenny nodded her head and then wiggled to get down. She sidled back to her seat, keeping an eye on the couple the entire time.
"So what's up?" She asked her boyfriend. He took her by the hand and walked her upstairs to his room, shutting the door behind him. They sat down and he turned to her. She looked at him nervously.
"Nick? What's wrong?" She asked. He sighed and looked her in the eye.
"It's about Lisa." He said. Jamie seemed to perk up at the mention of her best friend.
"She's, she's"
"She's what?" Jamie cried.
"Lisa's pregnant." He said. Jamie fell silent, looking at the floor for minutes seeming like hours. Finally, she looked back up at Nick.
"Lisa. We're talking about your cousin and my best friend in the whole entire world, right?" She asked. Nick nodded.
"Oh." Jamie said in disbelief. A tear slid down her cheek. Nick leaned forward and kissed her. She smiled a little but then stood up.
"I need to go and talk to her." She said, walking out of the room. Nick followed her to the door and kissed her as the left. He watched her slowly get into her car, and pull out of the driveway.
Five minutes later, Jamie pulled into Lisa's driveway. She got out of her car and mechanically walked to the door, ringing the bell. Kelsey, Lisa's 10-year-old sister, answered the door.
"Hi Jamie!" She said excitedly. Jamie smiled at the girl.
"Hi Kelsey. Is Lisa home?" She asked. The young girl nodded her head and held the door open wide.
"I think she's in her room." She said. Lisa thanked her and went up there. When she reached her friend's room, she knocked quietly. After a few seconds, the door opened slowly. As soon as Jamie and Lisa made eye contact, Lisa began to sob. Jamie put her arms around her best friend and moved her over to the bed, shutting the open door. As they sat down, Jamie began to cry as well.
When they finally stopped, Jamie looked at her friend. Lisa had her eyes low, not wanting to look her friend in the eye. Jamie reached over and placed her hand on her best friend's stomach.
"So there's a baby in there?" She asked. Lisa nodded slowly. Jamie took her finger and placed it under Lisa's chin, turning her face towards her own.
"Look at me." She said. Lisa shook her head.
"I'm so embarrassed." She said.
"Look at me." Jamie repeated. Slowly, Lisa opened her eyes.
"Why are you embarrassed?" She asked. Lisa sighed.
"I'm pregnant, Jamie! I'm only 16 years old and I'm pregnant! That's insane! It's not right!" She cried. "So I'm embarrassed." Lisa hugged Jamie.
"James," She said, calling her the nickname that she used to call her in grade school. "I've known you since we were three years old. Do you really think that I'm going to look down on you for being pregnant?" She asked. Lisa shrugged her shoulders.
"Sure, I don't think that doing that was one of you're best decisions, but you did. And you're going to have a baby. People all over the world can't have babies and they want them so badly. You're blessed to be able to." She said. Lisa stood up and angrily faced Jamie.
"Yeah, people all over the world WANT babies but can't have them! Well LUCKY ME, I can. Jamie, I'm 16 years old! 16! I had my whole life ahead of me, and now it's ruined. IT'S ALL RUINED. It's all ruined." She repeated over and over as she sunk to the ground on her knees. Jamie got down on the ground and hugged her friend, pulling her onto her lap like a small child.
"It's going to be all right." She told her friend over and over. "It's going to be all right." But in her heart, she knew that Lisa was correct.
