Tina had left the school building as soon as possible. She didn't want to stick around and give anyone the chance of finding her. She didn't want to talk to them. She just then realized she had left her bag there. She sat up in panic. What if someone looked in her bag and found the test? What if they already knew? She had flung herself onto her living room couch as soon as she got home. She didn't have the energy to go upstaiers into her room. She didn't know if her parents were home. She hoped they weren't, she didn't want to face them yet. Then, both of her parents came down the stairs each carrying a big card-board box.
"What are you guys doing," she asked as she wiped the tears from her face.
"What was it you wanted to talk to us about," her mother asked as they both sat the boxes down and stood in the same place.
Tina tried to think of how to give them the news. She had been trying to right a speach in her mind all day. But now she just couldn't think of what to say, she didn't want to drag it out any longer.
"I'm pregnant!" She burst as tears fell out of eyes and she buried her face into her hands. When she didn't hear her parents say anything after a few moments she looked up and saw they were both expressionless and eerily calm.
"Well, that's what we thought you were going to say so we have already packed all your belongings. You must leave immediately," her father said all this without ieven the slightest bit of emotion.
"What? Your kicking me out? But I need your help, I don't know what to do!"
You have never been anything more than a disapointment. We are not wasting any more time on you or your biggest mistake."
"But it's your grandchild!"
"It does not have any relation to us and as far as we are concered you are not our daughter."
She couldn't take it any longer. As soon as they delivered the last blow she was running out the door sobbing uncontrolably. All her parents said to her as she left was that her belongings would be sitting on the front lawn and that she should retrieve them before mourning.
Her world had exploded. She had no world now. She couldn't breathe. She was scared, alone, confused, parentless, homeless...and pregnant. Where would she go now?
