I didn't get to sixteen reviews, but you guys seem to like the story so here's chapter three!(:
Chapter Three
As soon as she got home from school she rushed upstairs and into the bathroom, suddenly feeling nauseous. She felt the bile rise in her throat then she just puked into the toilet and tears started forming in her eyes.
This is what she was afraid of. She was raped without protection and had the possibility of being pregnant. It freaked her out when she first puked after the rape, but it was only a virus and she didn't pay attention to the fever. But this time there was no fever and she felt perfectly fine until a few minutes before she walked in the door.
All of a sudden the bathroom door burst open to reveal Alli, "Oh, Clare!" Alli knelt down beside her while she puked and she held onto Alli as she cried.
Clare might be pregnant.
She didn't even know why she wore her purity ring anymore; what's done is done and she can't change that.
Ever.
After she finally stopped puking she grabbed a bunch of toilet paper and wiped the tears from her eyes and wiped the excess puke from around her mouth.
"Clare, are you sick again?"
She couldn't take it and started crying again as she shook her head over and over, "No, Alli. I'm not sick. I-I-I.. I think I'm pregnant!" She wailed.
"You can't be sure unless you take a test. It could just be your lunch not agreeing with you." Alli compromised.
"Yeah, yeah; that could be it. That has to be it." She muttered to herself.
"Well, I guess this calls for a trip to the pharmacy." Alli sounded hesitant as Clare got up from the floor and flushed the toilet.
"A-alright; let's go."
Clare walked through the aisle and looked at all the tests. There were so many and she didn't know what one to pick. After about ten minutes of Alli and her searching they found one they thought was the best and went up to the register. After paying they started to leave the store when a familiar voice caused Clare to freeze right where she was.
"Clare?"
She turned around, "E-Eli, what are you doing here?"
"Getting my mom her meds. Why are you here?"
"Uh-I was just getting some…"
"Aspirin!" Alli shrieked causing Eli to look at her oddly.
"Yeah! I just… I've been have these really bad headaches, psh, that's all." Clare said and Eli studied her, unconvinced by her lie.
"Okay, well, I guess I'll see you in school?" He said slowly as he looked at them weirdly before walking away to the register and the second he was out of sight Alli and Clare made a run for it to Clare's car.
"I can't believe that just happened! If he figures out I was there buying a pregnancy test then I have no chance what so ever at becoming friends with the kid. He'll think I'm some slut!" Clare huffed before shutting her car door and putting her key in the ignition.
"Don't worry! He probably believed us! Just… let's forget it." Alli told her soothingly and Clare nodded before driving from the Pharmacy parking lot.
The drive was nice and silent until they reached their fourth red light, "So, he was hot." Alli said abruptly. Clare almost choked on her own spit and stared at her best friend as if she just grew three more heads, "What?" Alli questioned with her eyebrows raised.
"What do you mean what? Alli, don't even go there! There is no way in hell that anything will ever happen between us; I mean, he's hot, but he's not my type and besides, I might be pregnant!" Clare cried at her best friend before turning back to the rode and continuing the drive back to their house.
"C'mon Clare; I doubt you're pregnant and why can't anything ever happen between you two?"
"Because, Alli!" Clare was quite furious by now. Alli just didn't get it.
"Because why?"
"Because! I'm not ready for another relationship, Alli. It's too soon." Clare muttered angrily.
It was quiet for another three or more minutes before Alli spoke, "I'm sorry."
Clare sighed, "It's okay. Let's not talk about this, okay?" She asked as they pulled into the driveway.
"Alright."
They got out and went inside together. Alli's parents were out for some dinner with her dad's friends from work and Sav was off where ever; it's not like they cared.
Clare and Alli looked at each other afraid to even take one step further up the stairs.
"Are you ready, Clare?"
"Yes." It came out as a hesitant squeak and Alli just blew out a breath she didn't even know she was holding. They both made it up the stairs and to the bathroom. Alli waited outside while Clare took the pregnancy test.
"If it's a girl, you're naming it after me." Alli shouted from outside the bathroom and Clare wanted to smack her across the face, but she couldn't help but smile at Alli's joke.
"Not funny!"
Clare sat down on the toilet and waited for the test results. She kept her phone in her hand counting down the minutes and when she checked the time after about three minutes she realized that she could check for the results, "Alli, come in; I want to find out if I'm pregnant or not with you beside me."
Alli smiled before opening the bathroom door and sitting on the ledge of the bathtub. They both eyed the test and then each other.
"I can't… you do it." Clare whispered to Alli who nodded and got up. She walked over to the sink and grabbed the test, slowly looking down at…
Two straight lines.
"Oh crap…"
"What? Was that a good 'oh crap' or a bad 'oh crap'."
"See for yourself…" Alli handed the test to Clare who immediately took it and stared down at her fate.
"I-I… I'm pregnant?"
The next day Clare went to school feeling horrible; especially since she just found out she was pregnant. She didn't wanna face anyone, she just wanted to crawl back into her bed and sleep.
She walked through the doors of Lakehurst and was suddenly face to face with Eli Goldsworthy. She rolled her eyes at him as she walked around him, "Didn't we already go over this? No talking unless it's about English homework. Goodbye!"
He ran in front of her and stopped her by her shoulder, "Why won't you talk to me? Look, I said I was sorry for what I did, and I thought if I beat Fitz up it would, oh, I don't know; amuse you?" He replied with a smirk. She scoffed and swatted his hand from her shoulder.
"And that's how you try to make friends? Beating up on someone who teases them?"
"Yes-no… I- just. Look, how many times do I have to say that I'm sorry?"
"Why do you want to be my friend so badly?" He blinked at her and then shrugged, "You don't know why you wanna be my friend?"
"Well… you seem nice?" She scoffed at him again.
"That is so pathetic. What are you trying to do here? Because it doesn't seem like you really wanna be my friend." She stated as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"I do! It's just. You know, you're making this more complicated than it needs to be."
"Wow, I should have realized. You lied when you said you wanted to be my friend just because you wanted to. It's because you feel bad, isn't it?"
"So what if it is?"
"You're a jerk. Just leave me alone." She said before walking off to her locker. He was trailing behind her and the second she stopped at her locker she turned around to face him, "Didn't I say to leave me alone? You're locker is right there," She pointed to the locker two lockers away, "Not here."
"Why are you so stubborn?"
"I told you I wanted a real friend, remember? Not someone who pities me, okay?" She turned her back on him before he answered and opened her locker.
"I'm sorry. I just want to help you and like I said, I thought you could use a friend. I mean, you never tried making friends before and you looked so lonely and Fitz was so mean to you. I just felt bad for you."
"Were you like stalking me or something?" She joked.
"We have like five classes together and you always sit alone at lunch, two tables over from me?"
"Oh." She blushed as she grabbed her books from her locker and closed it then put her lock back on, "I'll see you in English."
"So, do you accept my apology?" He asked hopefully. She smirked up at him and shrugged.
"Maybe." She teased. He smirked back down at her and they realized how close they were. She backed away and walked quickly away.
"See you later, English partner." She heard him call behind her and she couldn't hold back the smile that was overtaking her features.
She never thought teasing him would be this fun. The encounter even made her forget about her problems for a few minutes then the smile that graced her lips fell just like that.
Her life was horrible at the moment and she really did need a friend. Maybe accepting his apology wouldn't be so bad.
Okay, I want to at least get to eighteen reviews! Give me five & you get chapter four(:
