Best Friends

Chapter 17

(Ashlee's POV)

I think I'm sick. I've been throwing up all morning. I don't think I'm going to school today.

"Hey, you alright?" asked Michael, he can be nice and sweet when he wants to be.

"Yeah, I think. I was sick yesterday morning too."

"You really are dumb aren't you? Your pregnant." After our conversation I took some tests and they all came back positive.

(Pony's POV)

I think I'm going to tell Soda about Sandy when he gets home from work. He needs to know. Ashlee called me and told me that she was going to come over later and that she needed to tell me something.

(Later that day)

"Hey Soda, can we talk, It's important." Soda, and the gang just walked in.

"Yeah, sure." He gave me a funny look as we walked into my room.

"Sodapop, I want to talk to you about... Sandy."

"I don't want to her this Ponyboy, I'm over her now and I'm happy." Even though Sodapop didn't want to here it I told him anyway. He was really confused, o gave him Sandy's phone number so he could call her.

(after dinner)

I called Ashlee and told her to come over to my house. She agreed. We had to go into my room because the guys including Darry were making fun of us by saying that the only reason that she came over is because she 'wanted some'.

"Pony, what I'm about to tell you, you might not like." She said seriously.

"What is it?" I have rarely seen Ashlee act serious.

"I'm pregnant. I took about four test and they all came back positive."

"Is...is it mine?" I can't believe this.

"You were my only, well the only person I fooled around with." We talked a little while longer. We talked about Soda and Sandy. We also talked about names for the baby, and when we were going to tell everyone. While we were talking we somehow ended up holding each other. We ended up falling asleep like that. A promise to myself: I will never cut or do drugs again.
