Lunch Time

Later that day during lunch Lu sees Kayla sitting outside under a picnic table. Lu decides to go over and talk to her.

Lu: Hey Kayla is this seat taken

Kayla: Oh no its not you can sit.

Lu: So how's your day so far

Kayla: Lu you can stop with the chit chat. I know why you're here. I bet peter told you about our breakup and you are here to find out why we broke up.

Lu: Okay since you know why I'm here why won't you just answer the question? Why did you dump Peter?

Kayla: (with an attitude) First of all I didn't dump him we broke up. Second of all what goes Peter and I stays between us.

Lu: (raised voice) Yes you are right, what goes on between you and Peter stays between you too. But Peter is my friend and he is hurt. I want to find why he is hurt. You may not know this but Peter is my best friend. He is a great guy. He is caring, kind and sweet. He has always been there for me through all of my hard times so I want to do the same for him.

Kayla: (sad expression) I know that Peter is sweet, kind and caring. He is so much more than that. He's just been so good to me. I think I'm falling in love with him.

Lu: If he is so good to you and you love him. Why would you want to dump I mean breakup with him.

Kayla: (tears falling from her eyes.) I think I'm PREGNANT.

Lu: (shocked expression) Oh my gosh. Does Peter know?

Kayla: Of course he doesn't know .That's why I broke up with him. I knew if I told him he would have left me. So I decided to beat him to it and save my self some pain.

Lu: How do you know he would have left you? Peter is not that type of man.

Kayla: All men are the same. The last time this happened to me my boyfriend left me.

Lu: So this happened to you before? You have a child.

Kayla: No I don't. What I meant was that a few years ago I was in serious relationship with this man. I had started to feel the same way that I feel now. Nauseous, tired, and I was late (if you know what I mean). So I decide to tell my boyfriend that I thought was pregnant before I even confirmed my pregnancy. As soon as I told him something changed. He stopped showing up as often and his calls weren't as frequent as the used to be. Then the visits and the calls just stopped. It turns out that I wasn't pregnant. I was just going through a lot of stress because it was my last few years of medical school. I wasn't taking care of myself as I should. That was the hardest time in my life . So decided if I ever found myself in that predicament ever again I would never let the man leave me. I'll just leave him. It becomes less painful that way.

Lu: Not all men including Peter are like that. Please don't let one jerk cloud your judgment of all men. Peter is not the type to leave his responsibilities.

Kayla: Besides I don't even know if I am pregnant. So why should I bother him. If am pregnant I will tell him if I'm not I'll just move on with me life.

Lu: I don't agree with your decisions but I'll help you put your mind at ease. Later today come to my office and I'll draw some blood from you to see if you're pregnant. I'll give you the results tomorrow.

Kayla: Thanks a lot Lu. And I'm sorry about the attitude. I just been going through so much and I guess I passed it out on you.

Lu: Its okay apology accepted. But I think there is someone else you should apologize to.

Lana said you had a bit of an attitude with her this morning.

Kayla: I was really was mean to her earlier today. I think I'll go over and apologize to her right now. (Kayla gets up to leave) So I'll see you later today Lu.

Lu: Ok bye see you later.

Kayla goes back inside the RWHC and looks for Lana. While looking for Lana Kayla thinks about what Lu told her. She realized she shouldn't hide the fact that she thinks that she is pregnant from Peter. But she thought about how much pain she went through before and she didn't want to go through all of that all over again. Kayla was so absorbed in her thoughts she didn't realize that bumped in none other than Lana.

Kayla: Hey Lana sorry about that I was so absorbed in my thoughts I didn't see where I was going. But you were just the person I was looking for.

Lana: (with an attitude) What more do you have to say to me. Didn't you say enough this morning to me.

Kayla: (sincere look) Lana I'm so sorry for how I acted this morning. I haven't been feeling too good all this week. I hope you can accept my apology.

Lana: (smiling) its okay every one has one of those days. I accept your apology.

Kayla: I guess you heard about me and Peter's breakup.

Lana: Yes I did. I really am disappointed in you. You and Peter make the perfect couple. I hope two can resolve your differences and get back together.

Kayla: Thanks Lana for the advice. I'll keep that in mind. I have to go so I'll see you later. Bye

Lana: Bye
