Because of You

Chapter 11

"Mitchie" whined my best friend as she prodded my back with her long finger. I groaned and swatted her hand away, but she didn't stop. "Mitchie Wake up now" she ordered as she flipped me off my bed. Groaning louder in frustration I sat up and glared at her. Her eyes were slightly red and she had dark circles under her eyes, It was probably make-up she had left on from last night.

"What is it Caitlyn?" I asked as I stood up, arching my back, making I crack slightly. I let out a long sigh and I saw her slump onto my bed, her face slowly falling into her hands. I wouldn't have known she was crying if her shoulders weren't shaking, she was so quiet. "Caity? Why are you crying?" I asked as I sat next to her. Her head fell onto my shoulder as her crying began to get louder and heavier, she was know sobbing. "Caity?" I soothed.

"I-I think I might be pregnant" she whispered, her voice thick with tears. I didn't say anything, I couldn't and I didn't know what to say. Caitlyn, ever so innocent Caitlyn was pregnant? That couldn't be, the only boy she was with was Nate and he wore a purity ring for god sakes. I racked my brain for logical answers, Nate sleeping with her just couldn't be one, he would never break a promise so important to him and his family. But Caitlyn had never cheated, not that I know of.

"What do you mean you think? When did you and Nate have sex and why didn't you tell me?" I asked in a slightly raised voice, I was angry that my best friend hadn't told me that she and her boyfriend had sex for the first time, even though he wore a purity ring. She didn't answer me straight away and I think I saw guilt in her eyes but I didn't take any note from it.

She sighed and wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, smudging her make-up from last night. "Me and Nate didn't have sex," she whispered.

"Then how can you be preg-" I began but when I saw her bow her head ashamed I knew why. "No" I whispered in disbelief. She had cheated. She had cheated on the one boy that loved her more than anything, the one who would give her the world and more. She was stupid enough to throw everything away for a stupid fling. "Caitlyn what the fuck were you thinking!" I yelled as I stood up glaring down at her. "How could you do that to him, do you have any idea how much it is going to hurt him when he finds out!" I screamed as I threw my hands in the air.

She sniffed. "It wont hurt him, because im not going to tell him" she said quietly. I raised my eyebrows at her and scoffed in disbelief. This wasn't my best friend I met when I first went to camp, that girl was nice, honest, a loving friend and had a beautiful personality. But this girl sitting in front of me was a liar, a cheater and someone I didn't recognise.

"You're not going to tell him" I asked as I scoffed. "You're really going to keep this from him? What if you are pregnant, them what are you going to say to him because you cant tell him its his because you didn't sleep with him, he's going to find out you cheated" I spat before I stormed out of my room, slamming the door behind me. I ran my hands over my face and let out a long sigh. I knew I was supposed to be supportive to Caitlyn and her situation but how she got into it I just couldn't bring myself to feel sorry for her. Well I did a little, but what she did, was just wrong. She had obviously come back with a guy last night after I left. Luckily he was gone or I would have kicked his ass. Pushing myself from the couch I walked into the Kitchen, flicking on the coffee maker and looked back at the door that was slowly opening.

"Mitchie?" she croaked as she came in the Kitchen. I glared at her before turning my body away from her. I grabbed a cup from the cupboard and slammed it against the side, tapping my fingers impatiently while waiting for the coffee to heat up. "Mitchie Please" she sobbed and I felt something pull inside me. she was my best friend, no matter what she did I was always going to love her and be there for her. I sighed and shook my head, turning towards her.

"What are we going to do?" I asked as I closed my eyes. I made sure I said we so she knew that she wasn't in this alone. Of course I was furious at her for actually cheating on Nate but she wasn't old enough to go through this alone, she was only 19. when I opened my eyes I saw a teary smile capture her lips. I gave her a small reassuring smile as I poured my coffee and walked into the living room with her. When I sat down I turned to her. "If I help you Caitlyn, you have to promise me one thing"

She nodded. "Anything"

I looked at her for a few moments before speaking. "You have to tell Nate," I said with as I moved my lips to the side. She sighed and nodded. I smiled and patted her shoulder. "Ok, first off we need a test" I told her as I stood up.

"Would you be able to get it?" she asked. When I gave her a confused look she answered me. "If the paparazzi see me, they will run a story and I don't need Nate to find out by some magazine that im pregnant" she said sadly. I nodded, understanding. I then gave her look. she nodded and sighed. "I will call Nate and tell him while you get the test"

"Ok" I breathed. "I'll leave as soon as im dressed" I told her as I walked into my bedroom. When I closed the door I picked up my phone and flicked through my contacts. I wanted to call Shane and tell him about Caitlyn so maybe he could help, but I knew he would run and tell Nate, and that was up to Caitlyn. I sighed in frustration as I threw my phone onto my bed. I pulled off my PJ's and slipped on a button down plaid shirt and a pair of back skinny jeans along with some ballet pumps. I searched for a brush but when I couldn't find one I just pulled my fingers through my wild hair and left the room. I saw Caitlyn sitting on my couch eating my food. I laughed. "Ok, you may be possibly pregnant but that doesn't mean you can eat all my food, I have to pay for that with the little money I earn, speaking of earning money, I have to start work again tomorrow, do you think you will be ok on your own?" I asked as I pulled my bag over my shoulder.

She raised her eyebrows at me. "Mitchie, im 19, not 5" she said as she crossed her arms. I laughed as I saw her stick out her bottom lip. I laughed and shook my head, throwing her a wave I made my way out of my apartment.

Walking past so many unfamiliar faces made me feel so alone. At home I knew almost everyone in my neighbour hood, they were all friends with my mom. She was such a loving soul no one ever said a bad word about her. And when she died, every one was devastated. But me, I was beyond that, I died inside, she took she with her when she went. I missed her so much, she was everything to me, she was my rock, she kept me sane, and with her gone, I didn't know what to do. I didn't have her, I didn't have my dad, all my other relatives, I didn't even know where they were, they stopped talking to us when mom died and dad lost his mind. They abandoned us when we needed them most. I tried to remember every little detail of my mom so I would never forget. Her soft brown hair that fell in tousled waves mid back, her warm brown orbs that could soften anyone's mood, her dazzling smile that could light up a whole room, and her loving attitude towards anything. She never let hate in her life, not even when she was diagnosed with cancer, she never blamed god, she didn't let it effect her life, she carried on like she always had, never letting I slow her down. But eventually it did, she couldn't do the things she used to, she didn't smile as much, her eyes were never the same. I didn't want to remember my mom that way; I wanted to remember her before every bad little thing.

Shaking away my thoughts I found myself outside a pharmacy. I sighed and walked inside. She better love me for this.

Looking up at all the signs I tried to find where I was supposed to go. I then found one that said 'baby supplies', I figured they would be close to there. Walking over to the section of the store, my shoes squeaking on the just mopped floor I bent down to get a beter look at what was on the shelves. I then found what I needed. Better pick up a few just in case. Grabbing three different tests I walked over to the till and placed the tests in front of me. I fought back the urge to roll my eyes as I saw the women at the check out counter quickly look me up and down. I felt like screaming that they weren't for me but there was no point. As soon as I paid I dashed out of the store so quickly that I didn't even hear the snap of the camera.

When I got home I tossed the carrier bag with the tests in on Caitlyns lap. When she didn't move or even flinch I knew something was wrong. "You told Nate?" I asked. She nodded and just shook her head letting a few tears fall. "Caity im sorry" I said as I wrapped my arms around her.

"I have never heard him sound so angry, he wouldn't stop yelling, its not like Nate" she sobbed into my shoulder for the second time today. I sighed and rubbed her back. "He told me that when I come home we need to talk properly, but he didn't end things" she then turned to me. "Why didn't he leave me? I cheated on him"

"Because he loves you Cait," I said simply with a small smile. "He knows you made a mistake but he does love you, of course he is angry at you and he may be for a little while, but you two will work things out" I promised her as I gave her shoulder a gentle squeeze. She smiled and leaned into me.

"Thank you so much" she whispered. "I'll be leaving in two days, I called my mom but I haven't told her yet, I'll tell her when I get home" she said as her gaze fell upon the tests that were now sprawled on the floor. "What if they are positive?" she whimpered as she looked up at me with desperate eyes.

"You don't know for sure" I tried to tell her but I knew I was only lying. I mean, she had unprotected sex; there was a very high chance of her being pregnant. "Take the tests tomorrow ok" I said as I made her look at me. I had never seen her look so scared; she nodded before getting up and slowly walking into the spare bedroom. When she was out of sight I felt the urge to call Shane. When my phone began to buzz I frantically searched through my bag, my mind hoping for one person but when I saw who it was I was a little disappointed, Trish. "Hey Trish"

"Hey Mitch, I was just calling to ask if you would be at work tomorrow and if you and Caitlyn wanted to come over for a drink" she asked happily. Someone was obviously getting on well with her new boyfriend.

I looked at the door where Caitlyn had just walked into and sighed slightly. "Yeah im going to be at work and yeah ok it sounds like fun" I said.

"Great" Trish squeaked. "Ok well I better go, Dan is waiting for me if you know what I mean" she said seductively as she let out a small giggle.

"Oh god Trish keep your personal things to yourself please" I laughed at her giddiness. "I'll see you at work tomorrow, bye" I said before flipping my phone shut.

The next morning I was woken up by what sounded like someone being sick. I pulled myself from my bed and dashed to the bathroom where I found Caitlyn with her head in the toilet, throwing up violently. Oh no. I knelt down and held back her hair while rubbing her back. Muffled in with the sound of her gagging, she was crying. "Shhh sweetie, it's going to be ok" I tried to reassure her. When she was finished, I handed her a towel and she wiped her mouth before letting out a few quick breaths. I looked at her helplessly as she stared at her stomach. "I think you should take the tests" I said quietly as I looked at her. She nodded and reached up and pulled them off of the sink. I gave her one last hug before walking out of the bathroom.

The next five minutes seemed like the longest moments of my life. I tapped my hands against my lap as I waited for Caitlyn to come out of the bathroom.

When she did she was holding all three test in her hands and staring at them. When she handed them to me my breath caught in my throat. There it was, the little cross that we had both been dreading. On all three tests, there it was. She just broke down at that second, crumpling to the floor screaming out 'No!' over and over. I dropped beside her and cried with her. After what felt like forever we both pulled ourselves from the floor. "Im going to go get some air". Her voice was rough from crying, emotion and nerves. I nodded as she pulled on a coat and shoes before walking out of the door.

My phone then rang. It was Nate. I sucked in my breath, should I answer, should I ignore him?

"Hey Nate" I said softly. I heard him swallow a few times.

"Mitch, is Caitlyn ok? Did she take the tests?" he asked, his voice showing how nervous he was. I didn't want to tell, but I knew Caitlyn couldn't, she had already hurt him, she wouldn't want to do it again.

"Im sorry Nate, all three test were positive" I whispered.

"Positive" he muttered, his voice higher than usual. "All three?" he croaked. I whispered a yes and he let out a long shaky sigh. "What am I going to do Mitch?" he asked hopelessly.

"Don't give up on her Nate, promise me, she needs you more than ever right now" I told him. it was true, she needed him more than ever and more than anyone.

"I wont give up on her, I wouldn't, no matter what, but I cant tell you things will be the same" he told me sadly. I knew that, he wasn't about to forgive her that easily, and I understood that. "Thanks for telling me Mitch, and we'll be in New York next weekend for an even so we'll come and see you" he said.

I found myself smiling slightly. "Sounds great, and I'll get Caitlyn to call you when she gets back, bye Nate" I said weakly before hanging up the phone. Letting out a shaky breath I ran my hands over my face. I quickly fell asleep.

A slam of the door jolted me awake. I opened my foggy eyes to see a flushed Caitlyn holding what looked like a magazine in her hands. "Caitlyn? What is it?" I asked as I stood up.

"You might want to see this" she said as she handed me the magazine. "Page 11" she ordered and I flipped through it. When I landed on page 11 I stopped breathing, the headline was like a slap in the face.

Ex Girlfriend of Shane Grey, Mitchie Torres seen buying a pregnancy test, looks like the Jonas boys aren't so innocent.

Fuck.
