This is chapter 2 and the only reason I'm updating now is because I'm bored beyond belief! Thank you to everyone who story alerted and review, I appreciate it. I'm dedicating this chapter to 'nileyfan#1', her review made me cry like farealz :'). Anyways, hope you enjoy this chapter.
"I'm sorry Nessa, are you mad at me?" I asked frantically, she wasn't saying anything so I automatically assumed the worse. She looked at me and tried to stop the tears from falling down her face.
"Miley, you said that you were feeling sick, did any of that include throwing up or feeling exhausted and light headed?" She was cautious to ask me that, I could tell. For a second I didn't get why she was asking me this but then it hit me...hard. I thought back to the last week and how I had been throwing nonstop, I was exhausted easily and I was even late. "Well...?" I looked down as the tears welled up in my eyes and nodded, saying nothing, I couldn't.
"Oh Miley, don't cry.......this doesn't necessarily mean you are, we'll get a test after school okay? Don't stress over it," she said, she had stopped crying by now, but I still was. I nodded my head anyway. I stayed in the same spot till lunch was over, I was no longer hungry....now all I wanted to do was crawl in my bed and cry but I knew I couldn't possibly do that. And since I couldn't, I wanted to see Cody; I desperately needed him to make me feel better.
When I exited the lunchroom, I felt slightly better, just because nobody else knew anything and I didn't have to feel like a bad person, like I was a disappointment. I had 2 classes left, and I was ecstatic to see that Cody was in both of them.
"Cody!" I exclaimed when I saw my beloved boyfriend. I ran into his welcoming arms and embraced him tightly. I instantly felt better, and smiled. When he pulled away, he leaned down and kissed me. I honestly wanted to enjoy it but I couldn't...something was holding me back, not physically but emotionally...I felt a huge amount of guilt and it was eating away at my insides.
"Hey Miles, I missed you so much over the summer," he gushed cutely;I gave a weak smile before I pulled away and we walked over and sat in some seats in the back of the class. I didn't want to pull anymore attention, everyones eyes were already glued to us and I couldn't handle that.
"I missed you too Cody." I really did miss him and I believed he knew that but being the amazing boyfriend he was, he could tell when I was hiding something, but I wasn't ready to tell him, I was not sure myself....so I couldn't hurt him by telling him.
"I know....but is something wrong? You seem kind of distant," he said thoughtfully as he looked into my eyes. I looked away.
"I'm fine Cody, fine," I lied, they was no way in hell I was fine. I cheated on him and now there was a huge possibly of me being....pregnant with someone else's child. He frowned but nodded anyway,
"Okay smiles, I trust you to tell me when you feel you can, okay? I love you."
I smiled at him, "I love you too." Then class started and we had to focus on that, but I was thankful I had some time to think to myself, that was what I needed.
I was surprised to find that even though Nick was in a majority of my classes he didn't torture me like he's done ever since 9th grade, but he obviously doesn't know we slept together so I'm happy. When I got home (Vanessa dropped me off, I couldn't go the store with her) I went straight up to my room, ignoring my family. I only did that because Vanessa was gonna be arriving soon with the tests and I needed time to think about what I'd do if it turned out to be positive.
If it was positive I could easily get an abortion, but I would never do that to my child. I would either be the laughing stock of the school, or people would be nice and support me. My parents could think I'm a disgrace and kick me out or love and support me. Cody could break up with me or he'll stay with me, but I doubt that'd happen cause he would obviously figure out it wasn't his. I couldn't think any further because I heard by door being opened. I looked up to find Vanessa standing in my doorway, holding a couple of what I assumed were pregnancy tests.
She looked at me expectantly, so I got up and took the multiple tests into my bathroom with me without a word being said. I did what I had to do before I returned to my room. I sat next to my best friend who looked almost as worried as I was. She wrapped her arm around me and hugged me closely.
"Five minutes Miles, and I just want to tell you that whatever happens, I will be there for you," she whispered tenderly in my ear as she rubbed my arms softly. I nodded silently and waited, waited for my future to be decided. The whole time we sat in complete utter silence, my gaze was stuck on the clock as it ticked at an agonizing pace, tormenting me. Eventually five minutes passed and I couldn't even move from my spot. I began sweating and shaking nervously.
"Miles, do want me to look at it for you?" she asked as she looked at me with sympathetic eyes, I loved how she was so caring. I watched as she got up and walked into the bathroom after receiving a approving nod from me. It seemed like she was in there for an eternity.
No One's POV
When she saw her best friends figure emerge from the bathroom, she immediately broke down in tears. The look on Vanessa's face told her everything. Vanessa hated seeing someone so close to her like this, she went over to her and embraced her in the tightest hug she had ever given anybody.
"I'm so sorry Miley, but you are pregnant," she tried comforting her as best she could but it wouldn't stop the sobs that came from her young friend.
"Va-Vanessa" Miley cried, gripping on to her friends shoulder tighter, "Y-your lying, you ly-lying....don't lie to me please!" She weeped quietly. Vanessa didn't know what to do, so she did the only she could do, she hugged her tighter and just let her cry. "Ne-ssa, I can't be pregnant, I'm not ready to be a mom....I'm too young" Miley dug her head deeper into Vanessa's shoulders and bawled, she couldn't believe that she was gonna have to endure parenthood at 16, she felt so unfortunate, and it wasn't fair!
"Shh...shh Miley, It's okay, it's gonna be fine....you'll have all your friends to support you and so will your parents," Vanessa told her, as she pulled away to look into Miley's eyes. Miley shook her head stubbornly,
"No they won't," she wiped her tears, "Cody's gonna leave me, my parents will kick me out, Selena will turn against me and Ni-" she sniffed as Vanessa stopped,
"That's not true and you know that, Cody loves you to death, and your parents and Selena will be there no matter what," she insisted. "And don't you dare say Nick wont be there for you, he may be a jerk but I know my brother and he'll take responsibility for his actions," she added firmly.
"But they all have no clue Nessa, the baby's not Cody's so he has no reason to stay, Selena's gonna think I don't trust her and Nick, Ness for all he knows he's still a virgin!" Miley then shook her head as tears welled up in her eyes once again, "Nobody's gonna understand."
"Miley breathe, just tell them one at a time, your parents....Cody....Selena....and Ni-"
"I can't, I'll tell them all but not Nick," she shook her head sadly. "We absolutely hate each other, those feeling aren't gonna change just cause I'm carrying his child," she looked up at Vanessa to see if she had anything to say.
"You don't know that Miley, but fine....I'll let you take your time telling Nick, but you gotta promise me that you'll tell him before you have his baby/my niece or nephew," Vanessa said and couldn't help but smile at the thought of having a little niece or nephew.
Miley let out a soft giggle and nodded as she placed her hand delicately on her flat tummy, "I promise don't worry." Vanessa grins and hugs her friend again, as she rubs her back.
"But now you gotta tell your family Miley, they're right downstairs and I'll be right beside you the whole time so don't worry," Vanessa knew Miley was gonna need all the support she could get.
Miley's POV
I didn't think I would have survived finding out that I was pregnant if Vanessa wasn't here to help me. I really appreciated how much she cared for me, and I loved her for that. As we made our ways down the stairs and into my living room, I noticed that Brandi was there, so now I assumed I would have to tell the whole family...great! Just great. Vanessa and I sat down in front of my family who was seated on the couch in front of us. I knew I couldn't put it off much longer so I opened my mouth and told them...or at least tried to.
"Mom, Dad, Brandi...and Dylan," I sighed. "I have something to tell you all," I finally said.
Vanessa was rubbing my back as my family looked at me, waiting patiently for me to continue. "Uh, well..." I couldn't possibly say it; I couldn't so I looked over at Vanessa, silently asking her if she could tell them, she nodded.
"I'm really sorry I have to tell you all this...but Miley is...pregnant." I was looking down the whole entire time, to afraid to look at their faces knowing as soon as I looked up, their expressions would be turned from happy to sad.
"What? Miley please tell me you're lying," My mom was the first to say something, her voice sounded so broken, so disappointed. Looking up at her face, I saw tears streaming down her face and disappointment lurking in her stormy eyes
I shook my head, "I'm so sorry momma." I didn't hear another word come out of her mouth after that, but I knew soon enough I would hear something from my dad.
"Miley...I can't believe this, when did this happen?" my dad demanded answer, his voice full with disappointment but overall anger.
"A little over a week ago," I murmured weakly, gazing at my hands, "at Vanessa's party, I was drunk and-" I didn't have anytime to finish before my dad exploded,
"You were drunk!?" He yelled and stood up, "Miley your mom and I taught you so much better than this, how dare you do this....sleep with some random guy and get pregnant!" That made me wince but also mad, he had no right to say that!
"What about Brandi dad? She had Dylan at 16!" I exclaimed back and pointed towards my sister, who sat there looking pissed off, with her son on her lap. "And it's wasn't some random guy, it was Nick, Vanessa's brother!" I could tell my dad was pissed, he opened his mouth to say something but my mom thankfully stopped him and pulled him on the couch.
"Billy stop," my mom glared at him then turned back at me, "Miley, I understand what you're saying, but it was irresponsible for you to be this young and get pregnant, it's disappointing to know we didn't raise you well enough," tears started welling up in the both of our eyes,
"But mom you did, it was just a stupid mistake that I regret, but I'll never regret my baby," I placed a hand on my stomach. "Because no matter how many problems me being pregnant may cause, this baby's still apart of me," I said looking straight into my moms eyes, "And I'll love him or her forever." My mom got up from the couch and hugged me, along with Vanessa. My dad shook his head at us, got up and left the room.
"Dad hates me!" I cried, while still hugging them.
"No he doesn't honey, he's just upset that this happened, okay?" I nodded my head.
"I'm sorry that this happened mom, I really am," I told her sadly, she nodded.
"It's okay darling, I forgive you and so does your sister, isn't that right Brandi?" she said and looked at my sister, who was still sitting on the couch. My mom ushered her over and she reluctantly got up and came over. "Brandi tell your sister that you're not mad at her and that you forgive her." Brandi shook her head.
"I'm not mad at you Miles," I smiled. "But I can't be here and watch you mess up your life like I had, all that will do is make me feel like I'm the one to blame." And with that, she got up, took Dylan and walked straight at the door.
Wow, intense, haha. hope you liked it :)
