The Cause Deep Inside

Chapter 2: Deep Thinking

As they walked into homeroom with Mrs. Kwan they were a little early so they decided to talk until the bell rang.

Ashley was sitting next to Paige and Jimmy, when Spinner walked in from coming from the bathroom. "Excuse me Ash" "Sure Jimmy". "So what were you two talking about" asked Paige. "I'm not sure if we should discuss that here," Ashley said peacefully.

Ashley got up and walked over to where Jimmy and Spinner were talking. "Jimmy can I talk to you for a minute." "Yeah, what is it." "Should we tell people about us." "Ash, I think we should wait until we tell our parents" "Ashley you okay you don't look to good." "Jimmy I don't feel so good."

As Ashley said that she ran out the room to the ladies restroom, were she felt the need to vomit and that's what she did. Paige walked in and saw Ashley on the floor in the second stall. "Ash you okay." "Paige I'm fine." "Ashley I can tell when you're lying you always have a fake smile on your face." ' Paige please..."

As Ashley stated to say what she wanted she stated throwing up again. "Ashley your gaining weight, throwing up all the time and to top it all off your getting really emotional." "I f you asked me I would say that your pregnant."

"So what if I' am." I said as I started to crying." You love kids Ash, I would think you would be a little happy." "I' am in one state of mind, but in the other I'm not." "I'm trying to be happy because Jimmy's happy."

"Ashley Kerwin what did we discuss when Manny got pregnant and Craig was the only one who was happy." "Guys only get happy because they know they don't have to go threw the pain and they only get the pleasure." They both started laughing.

"Come on lets go to homeroom before the bell rings and Kwan goes ballistic on us. When they were walking to homeroom Craig and Manny were arguing and everybody was staring at them.

Manny left crying. I was getting upset because she was on her second, but after her first daughter Alexis was born many maintained a nice weight but couldn't get back to her regular size.

She was now 5 months pregnant again with Craig's child. They were always arguing with each other about who's going to take Lexy here and there. I was starting to think maybe having this baby is not such a good idea. What if I can't get back to my regular size? What if Jimmy and me drift apart? I just hope that Jimmy and me won't be like this.
