Hello, sorry it took so long to update, my desktop is broken so I'm using my dad's laptop. Now I hope you enjoy this chapter and I hope I don't take this long to upload the next one. I just got a little lazy that all so please enjoy and favorite the story and post lots of comments.
Cat's POV I watch my red hair curl around my finger tips. Yesterday Jade told me the biggest secret ever. She's pregnant and Beck doesn't even know! I promised that I would say a word but the pressure's taking its tole. I have big purple bags hanging under my eyes and I can't think straight in class.
Then whenever I sit by Tori, Andre, and especially Beck, I literally bite my lip in a poor attempt to keep my mouth shut. I mostly avoid being around Beck by myself because knowing me, I'll accidentally blurt something out so usually I hang with Jade or at least that's what I've been doing all day today. I'm pretty sure Andre has notice it too because he keeps looking over at Jade and I whenever he thinks we aren't looking. We went to the free clinic last night after going to the carnival and the baby's healthy. I still can't imagine how Jade must be feeling because I just know she's pregnant and I feel nauseous.
The final bell rings releasing from lunch and sends us back to class where Sikowitz is discussing the best way to play pregnant which is sort of ironic if you think about it. I glace over at Jade every now and again then my eyes scroll down to her stomach then back around to the front of the class. Andre follows my gaze from Jade then looks at me, brows raised is curiosity. My nervousness kicks in and my feet begin tapping to the beat of "My Fair Lady" and I begin to chew on my lip. My eyes catch a glimpse of Beck and Tori sitting so close, she's almost touching him then it finally hits me.
The reason Jade won't tell Beck is more about Tori than it is about Jade herself. Plus Jade told me about how those two almost kissed that one time when Jade was going to preform in the place of Tori so she must be afraid that if she tells him or Tori they'll end up getting together and she'll be stuck all alone with an unplanned baby. Beck isn't the type of person to do that, would he? He's always seemed level headed and well, responsible but this is a baby we're talking about his calm demeanor could just fly out the window. I feel like I'm about to explode when the bell finally rings and I shoot up out of my chair like a rocket and take my place to Jade's left.
As Jade and I head off to next block Andre stops us dead in our tracks and I bite my lips again. "Okay," he says at last, "what is going on between the two of you?" "Nothing," Jade says, anger oozing out through the words, "but, if there was, it wouldn't be any of your damn business." With that she brush past him, knocking him back when there shoulder connect. He lets out an exasperated sigh and rubs his forehead and looks me in the eye searching for any sort of answer. I guess he caught a glimmer of something because he lightly grabs my wrist and tugs me into the janitors closet. "What is going on with Jade, Beck is worried and so am I."
"Trust me J-Jade's t-totally f-fine..."
"Cat, whenever you lie you stutter a lot" he says, placing hands on his hips.
"It's n-nothing Andre, I s-swear."
"Cat!" Jade's voice echos through the halls sending goosebumps down my spine. The doorknob jiggles and Jade steps in her eyes slanted and almost disoriented in horror.
"D-Did you tell him...?" she says in more of a statement than a question. I shake my head no and Andre looks over at Jade.
"Tell me what, okay enough what the hell is going on!?"
"Andre..." Jade mutters in a cracking whisper, "you can't tell Beck or Tori what I'm about to say, got it?" He nods.
"I-I'm pregnant..." Tears fall from Jade's shadow hidden blueish-green eyes. "Wait, w-what!?" "Jade's pregnant and Beck's the father" I say, louder than Jade had. Jade runs her fingers through her black and green highlighted hair as she collapses on the floor in a heap sobbing and blubbering like a young child would.
Andre and I drop to our knees on either side of Jade and hug her as she sobs into my hair. "Jade, I promise I won't say a thing" Andre says after a few minutes of sob filled air. "Yeah, we're here for you." Andre and I help Jade up and sneak her out of school without anyone seeing her puffy read face and take her back home to discuss what we're going to do next now that four people know about her pregnancy and not one of them is Beck.
