Chapter Six
Who The Hell Is Pregnant?
Cat unlocked the door to her apartment and saw Jade pacing in the living room as she shut it behind her. She held up a paper bag. "I bought 6 different kinds of tests, so I hope you have to pee real bad." The redhead told her Goth best friend, who had makeup streaming down her cheeks. "Calm down, Jade. There are other reasons for you being late." Cat told her, rubbing Jade's arm to comfort her. "Sometimes it's stress. It has been a few weeks since you and Andre broke up. It could be that."
"Hopefully." Jade sniffled as she took the paper bag. "I'll be in the bathroom, peeing as much as you did when the rest of us were trapped in that RV." Cat bit her lip. She still hadn't told them the REAL reason why she was gone all that time. They just assumed she was lost finding the bathrooms OR she was peeing the whole time. She didn't argue with that. "Wish me luck."
Cat sighed as she watched her roommate go into their bathroom, probably going to be another 15 minutes till she came back out.
Her phone vibrated her in bra, where she kept her phone when she wore skirts, and took it out. Beck was calling. "Hello?"
"Hey, Cat."
"What's up?"
"Are you still on to going to the movies tonight?"
"Yes, sir." Cat smiled. "I definitely want to still go."
She heard him chuckling. "Why's that?"
"Um…there are just some things going on over here that are a bit unusual." Cat scratched the back of her head. "There might be a few changes going on around here and I don't want to hear Jade's nagging."
"Well sure thing, babygirl. The movie starts at 5, so I'll be there around 4:30, alright?"
"Kay-Kay. Love you."
"Love you too, girl." And they hung up.
Cat sighed and went into the kitchen to make herself some tea…and Jade, knowing she'll be need some. Soon, the bathroom door opened and Cat bit her lip as Jade walked into the kitchen. "Well?" Cat asked in a nervous tone.
Jade gulped, holding herself. "Cat…I'm making an appointment at the clinic. I'm not going to carry this baby."
Cat's jaw dropped. "What? Jade!"
"WHAT?" Jade screamed back. "I don't want to have a baby! I don't want to be pregnant with Andre's baby! I hate him! I don't want him in my life MORE than he already is!"
"Then say it's another guy's baby!" Cat screeched. "Don't kill an innocent life for that stupid reason!"
"I'm going to have a damn abortion and YOU can't stop me!" Jade screamed as she left the kitchen and went into her room, slamming the door.
Cat leaned against the nearest wall, sliding down until she hit the ground. She curled up, crying. Jade was going to let some doctor kill an innocent life just because she was mad that her ex-boyfriend was the father. It was the most selfish thing she had ever heard of. Weren't there other ways of handling this? I mean…there's adoption? She could have the baby and just give it to the hospital after birth. That'd be it.
It was too much to keep down.
Cat rushed out of the kitchen, to the bathroom, puking her lunch out into the toilet bowl. When she was done, she saw the pregnancy tests, which all read positive, and threw them in the garbage can next to the sink. She washed her mouth and side, looking the mirror. She wasn't sickly looking, per say, but she didn't look healthy. She was already a tiny girl in high school, so what was happening to her? She was tinier than ever. Her life was a roller coaster ride, that's for sure. And now with attempting to stop her problem with Anorexia, thanks to Beck, it was getting tougher.
It was odd not throwing up after eating.
She decided to get ready for her date with Beck that night. No use dwelling on Jade's problem…it was her decision, not Cat's.
…
Beck knocked on the door to the girls' apartment and Cat opened the door with a bright smile. "Hey, baby!" She greeted, reaching up and kissing his lips. Beck kissed back, giving her a hug at the same time. When they released each other, she squealed. "I'm so excited to finally see this movie!"
Beck chuckled. "So I see. Hey, can I use the bathroom before we go?"
"Sure." She kissed his cheek before letting him make his way to the girls' bathroom. He locked himself in there after turning the light on, did his business, and washed his hands. He threw the hand towel in the hamper when he saw…them. He kneeled down and carefully looked at each one. All the pregnancy tests read "positive" in different ways, but they all meant the same thing. Cat did say over the phone that there was going to be changes coming soon…
His heart almost stopped.
His girlfriend was pregnant.
"Beck, let's go!" Cat's sweet voice called out from the living room.
Beck regained himself as he put everything back where it was, washing his hands again, and then acted casual as he walked back out to Cat, but he was screaming inside. How could have happened? He used protection every time they made love. This didn't make sense. Everything was spinning and suddenly he fell back with a thud, seeing the ceiling.
Cat gasped and ran to his side, kneeling down. "Beck!"
Beck shook his head, getting up quickly. "Sorry, sorry." He ran his hands through his hair. "I'm fine. Don't worry. I just was lightheaded for a second."
"Beck, you're pale." Cat mumbled. "Maybe we should stay home."
"No, no, let's go to the movies." Beck forced a smile. "Let's go see that movie."
Cat still looked worried, but gave in. "Kay-Kay." She took his hand, leading him out of the apartment.
Beck looked to her stomach…she was wearing a tight shirt, so he didn't see a baby bump…but then again, she could be only a month pregnant...how could this be happening?
"Beck!" Cat snapped, getting his attention as they walked down the hallway.
Beck jumped a little, looking over at her. "What?"
"What's wrong?" Cat pouted, wanting to know.
Beck stopped her. "Cat…"
Cat looked him in the eyes. "Yes?"
"If…if something…if something was up, you know, like something big…you'd tell me, right?" Beck stumbled for his words, but finally found them.
Cat's eyes widened a bit. Did he know about Jade? Maybe Jade told Andre? "Um…yes." She trailed off. "Beck, what's going on?" She didn't want to blurt anything out, just in case he REALLY didn't know.
Beck realized she wasn't ready to tell him. "Nothing, let's go." He kissed her hand and led the way down the stairs. He probably shouldn't pressure her right now. The pregnancy tests were still in the trash, so she must've just taken them today or yesterday. She was probably confused and lost, even though she was having a funny way of showing it. Then again, his girlfriend was a great actress. He was left in the dark about her eating disorder for over a year with no clue whatsoever. Yeah, she was going to get a Grammy one day.
He smiled to himself.
His girlfriend was pregnant with his child.
…
A week later on a Thursday evening, Cat still hadn't "confessed" to Beck that she was "pregnant" so he was getting frustrated. He deserved to know already! He was going over to Cat's with Andre, Robbie, and Tori tonight so they all could have a movie night. Jade apparently wasn't feeling well, so she was going to stay locked in her room. Beck swear he saw a grey hair this morning…that would be how much he was stressing out. Was his pay from the movies he did stunts for enough to support his girlfriend and the baby? And does this mean they have to get married?
"Dude…" Beck said suddenly as Andre was driving them to Cat and Jade's place. They were the only two in the car. "Cat's pregnant."
Andre's eyes widened and almost crashed. "WHAT?"
"Yeah, I can't believe it either." Beck sighed out. Suddenly he was punched in the jaw. "OW!" He rubbed his face as Andre put his fist back on the steering wheel. "What the HELL was that for?"
"Getting my baby sis knocked up." Andre growled. "Anyways, now that's out of the way…congratulations."
"Don't tell me that just yet." Beck told him. "Cat hasn't even confessed yet."
Andre narrowed his eyes. "What? Then how do you know she's pregnant?"
"I used the bathroom in the girls' apartment last Wednesday and saw 6 pregnancy tests…all positive." Beck ran his fingers through his hair. "I had called Cat earlier that day and she told me there were going to be "changes" around the household soon."
"Ooh." Andre hissed. "Well…when she tells you, sound surprised."
"Yeah, I know." Beck looked out the window. "I'm going to be an eff-ing dad and I'm only 19 years old. That's real smart and great."
"Hey…at least it's Cat." Andre smiled.
Beck smiled as well. "Yeah…Cat."
…
The gang, minus Jade, was laughing hysterical at the movie "Home Alone", which was random, but oh well. They were random people. Suddenly, Tori put an empty bowl on Cat's head, making the redhead squeal. "MAKE MORE POPCORN, MISS HOSTESS!" Tori yelled out, being silly as she was laughing uncontrollably.
Cat went to get up, but Beck stopped her. "Let me go do that, sweetie." He kissed her cheek. "Watch the movie." Cat smiled in thanks and went back to the TV screen.
Beck figured if she was pregnant with his child, he wanted her to stay off her feet as much he could get her to. He put another pack of popcorn in the microwave and pressed "START", making the machine heat up. He sighed, feeling popcorn in his teeth. "Gross." He groaned. "CAT!"
"YES, LOVE?"
"Do you have any gum?" He called out.
"In my purse!"
He saw her purse on the counter and opened it, looking threw it. He found the gum, but a small piece of paper fell out. He leaned down and picked it up. He happened to read it and his eyes widened. It was a receipt for the local clinic…today…over a hundred dollars…in Cat's name paid with her credit card. He crumpled the paper in his fists, stomping out to the living room and turning the TV off with force. He startled the four people sitting down, either on the floor or couch.
"Beck, what the hell?" Robbie yelled. "I wanted to see the guy get electrocuted when he touched the door knob!"
"Shut up!" Beck snarled, making Robbie cower. He looked to his not-so-innocent girlfriend, who stared at him in worry. "You selfish witch!"
Cat gasped. "WHAT?"
"You heard me!" Beck continued to yell. "HOW DARE YOU!"
"How dare I what?" Cat stood up, leaving the others to stay out of the violent argument. "What is going on?"
"You WERE pregnant with my child and YET you go get an eff-ing ABORTION!" He threw the paper at her, making it fall to the ground. Cat picked it up and saw it was the receipt. She groaned, stomping her feet on the carpet ground in absolute frustration. "I saw the pregnancy tests last week! ALL POSITIVE! And then you go and get an abortion? THAT WAS MY KID TOO! You're a heartless witch!"
Cat broke into tears and was sobbing. "Beck, stop! You don't know anything!"
"The HELL I don't!" He yelled. "I hate you! I wish you'd go jump off a damn bridge! You killed my child, so-"
"Cat wasn't pregnant!" Jade's vicious voice was heard. Everyone looked over to Jade's bedroom door, which was opened and Jade slowly stepped out, glaring to Beck. "I was pregnant. Not Cat."
Beck was out of words, but he attempted to find them. "Liar! The receipt says Cat's credit card paid for it!"
"She drove me because I begged her to and I forgot my money here, so she paid for me. I paid her back." Jade grumbled. "Cat wanted nothing to do with everything I put her through today, but I kept giving her guilt trips, which caused her to break every time. I know Cat's weaknesses and I took advantage of them. And I am so sorry, Cat." She gave the redhead an apologetic look. "You didn't deserve the shit I put you through today."
Cat didn't say anything since she was still traumatized by Beck's outburst.
Beck looked to Cat with regret and guilt. "Oh my god." He said, out of breath. "Cat…oh shit, Cat…" He broke into tears. "I'm sorry." His voice cracked.
Cat shook her head. "Stay away from me."
Beck's heart shattered. "No. Cat, I love-"
"No, you don't." Cat countered in a hurt voice. "You don't love me. You don't know me. You had the nerve to think I would have an abortion…" She walked up to him and slapped his face sharply, shocking everyone. Beck turned back to her slowly. He couldn't take the loss of emotion in her eyes. "You don't deserve me." She told him before she took off into her room and locked the door behind her.
Andre spoke finally. "Was…was it mine?" He asked quietly to Jade.
Jade smirked with pure evil shining out through her cold eyes. "Yup."
Andre suddenly stood up, glaring to Jade. "YOU HEARTLESS BITCH!"
"I didn't want to be pregnant with YOUR kid!" Jade shouted back. "I hate you! You dumped me!"
"You chose partying and getting wasted every night OVER ME! The guy who loved you!" Andre shouted back. "And because of that, YOU KILLED MY CHILD? You are the selfish witch!" Andre grabbed his jacket and car keys, trying not to cry after hearing something so devastating. "GO TO HELL!" And with that, he glared to Beck. "WALK HOME!" Before anybody could speak, Andre ran out of the apartment, slamming the door behind him.
Beck couldn't help it when he collapsed to the floor, sobbing.
He lost his precious girlfriend.
He lost her…forever.
