A/N: I'm so sorry this chapter is so short! I was having more writer's block, and I didn't know how to make the chapter longer. Again, I apologize for the short chapter. This chapter is named after the song "Too Much Too Soon" by Green Day.
Liberty woke up the next morning with JT's arms around her, both of them only wearing their underwear. Liberty thought back to everything that happened the night before; the romantic movie, the passionate kissing, everything. JT's condom had slipped off, but he assured her it would be fine. Liberty decided to shake that off, but was still a little worried. Liberty noticed JT starting to open his eyes.
"Hey babe," Liberty said as he woke up.
"Wha?" he said, still half asleep. Liberty giggled. "Oh, hey gorgeous," he said once he woke up fully.
It had been four weeks since Liberty and JT had first had sex. They had done it a few more times since then. Liberty woke up one morning to discover that she had not gotten her period. This scared Liberty, but she decided to wait a little while to see if it was just coming late or something.
Two weeks later, Liberty's period still had not shown up. One morning, she had woken up feeling nauseous. She could feel last night's dinner coming back up. She quickly ran to the bathroom and kneeled down next to the toilet, and threw up.
"Please tell me this isn't happening," Liberty pleaded. Just then, Liberty heard the doorbell ring. She got up slowly and flushed the toilet. She slowly walked down the stairs and answered the door. She was surprised to see JT there.
"Hey Libby," he said.
"Hey JT," she replied.
"Are you okay?" he asked. "You look pale."
"I'm just a little sick, that's all," Liberty lied.
"Awww, is my Libby Tibby sick?" JT asked in a baby voice, wrapping his arms around her. Liberty smiled. She could always count on him to make her smile, even in the worst of times. "Do you want me to stay to help you feel better?" he asked
"Yes," she answered. Liberty felt like throwing up again. She ran to the bathroom down the hall.
"Liberty?" JT went after her.
Liberty leaned over the toilet and threw up again.
"Are you okay?" he asked. Liberty answered by throwing up again. JT left and came back a few seconds later with a glass of water. "Here," he said giving her the water.
"Thanks," Liberty replied, sipping it. Liberty flushed the toilet. She felt weak, like all her energy had been drained from her. JT helped her up.
"You seem really sick. Do you want me to take you to a doctor?" JT asked her.
"No, I'm fine. It's just a stomach bug," Liberty lied. She felt bad for lying to him, but she wasn't ready to tell him she may be pregnant, especially since she didn't know for sure herself.
A few days later, Liberty was at the mall with Emma and Manny.
"How does it look?" Manny asked. Manny had just gotten her hair cut.
"It looks great! That length looks awesome on you!" Emma exclaimed.
"And bangs really suit you," added Liberty.
"Ugh, I gotta go," said Manny.
"Me too. I have to go help my mom with Jack," said Emma.
"You guys go ahead. I have to go get something," Liberty said.
"Okay. See you later," Emma replied.
"Bye!" said Manny.
After Emma and Manny left, Liberty walked to the mall's pharmacy. Liberty went to the family planning aisle and got a pregnancy test. She went to the cash register and paid for it, trying to get out of there as fast as she could.
Liberty was scared to look at the test, for fear of the worst. Finally, she got the courage to look at it. It was positive. A million questions ran through Liberty's head at that moment.
How will I tell JT? How will I tell my parents? How will they react? How will I deal with this? Can I count on JT to be responsible and supportive? Am I ready for this? How will I manage school? Will the baby be a boy or a girl? Liberty's thoughts seemed never-ending. She was scared, she didn't know how to deal with this. I'm only 15, how could this happen? she thought. Then, Liberty went to her room and did something she rarely did. She laid down on her bed and started to cry.
