Chapter Four
Jessica walked into the kitchen and put on a fake smile.
"Hey momma." She said hugging her.
"Hey, babygirl. Now, I know something's wrong."
"Wow, Mom get straight into it why don't you."
"I'm you're mother, I'm supposed to get straight into it Jessica. I mean, you left a note and went to stay with David, and now all of a sudden you wanna come home again. something is up with that."
"Well, maybe I just wanted to come home and see my family. Is there something wrong with that?"
"No, but there is when you come home and pretended like your happy. Jessica, Katie told me how happy you were in Washington with David and you're new boyfriend."
"I was happy with Dave and with Randy, but shit happened mom and I wanted to come home."
"See, now we're getting somewhere. What happened?"
Jessica sighed. She knew she had to tell her mom sooner or later and the more she tried to put it off the worse she figured it would be.
"I do have something to tell you actually..."
Her mom looked at her and she sat down. Jessica nodded. It was like her mom knew she had something bad to tell her.
"Well, you know I turned 18 a few months ago. Well, Randy had set something up special because we both liked each other and it seemed the perfect thing to do, since I was officially allowed to date him. Dave knew I was going out with him and everything but the thing is...we went back to his..and I'm gonna assume you know what happened next.." She paused and looked at her mom who was now as white as a ghost.
"Well, I just found out I'm...pregnant."
Donna stared at her daughter.
"Oh Jessica, I'm sorry..I really am. But why did you come home?"
"Randy didn't take it well. Mom, I don't know what to do." Jessica said as she began to cry.
Her mom got up and hugged her.
"Don't worry, I'll help you through this. We'll get through. I promise."
Jessica nodded. "I need to lie down."
Her mom nodded and Jessica left the kitchen and went upstairs. She went back to her room and started to cry even more. She was kind of glad her mom had taken it the way she did. She was relieved. But she was scared now as to what the future held for her. If only Randy wasn't being so unsupportive.
