Chapter 53 ~ Pregnancy Test

Dixie: Leave me alone Noah!
 
Noah: *sits on the edge of Dixies bed and holds her hand tightly so she cant pull it back* I understand that you think i held you back in life from doing things and that you hate me but Dixie, you need to eat. If you are pregnant then even though im not the father of that baby, i will make sure that you eat at all times because that baby didnt do anything to deserve starvation
 
Dixie: Noah, let go of my hand
 
Noah: No Dixie, its either you eat now or i get a councilor to speak with you
 
Dixie: Fuck you Noah *gets up, walks into the kitchen and starts making a cheese sandwich*
 
Noah: *walks into the kitchen and sees her* The fuck do you think you are doing Dixie, i made eggs and mash potato for you
 
Dixie: If you think im eating food that you made, you are sick
 
Noah: I thought you said my food tastes nice?
 
Dixie: And you believed it? Haha
 
Noah: *grabs Dixie and pins her to the wall facing him* Im not going to say this again, you are going to sit on a chair and eat the eggs and mash potato because thats more healthy than a cheese sandwich then later today, you are taking a pregnancy test. Understand me?
 
Dixie: *doesnt reply*
 
Noah: I asked do you understand me!!
 
Dixie: Y-Yes
 
Noah: *moves away from next to her* Dont ever test my fucking patients again Dixie *takes a plate of food and sits at the table and starts eating*
 
Dixies Pov:
 
I have never seen Noah like this and it scares me. He yelled at me and held my wrist tight against the wall. Was i wrong about him all the time? Is he just like every guy, the ones that abuses women? I hope not because i wont be able to handle that. I took a plate of food and sat at the opposite end of the table from Noah. I picked at my food barely eating and got occasional stares from Noah. Not going go lie, he is scaring me right now. I mean i know that what he wants me to do, eat and take the pregnancy test, is for my well being but i dont want to do either. I guess i stopped picking at my food and was lost in thoughts because i was brought back to reality by an angry Noah
 
Noah: EAT THE FOOD DIXIE!
 
Dixie: *picks back up her spoon* O-Ok but please d-dont yell
 
Noah: I didnt mean to yell, i just want you to eat
 
Dixie: C-Can i ask you something? *looks up at Noah*
 
Noah: What
 
Dixie: Why do you care if i eat or not?
 
Noah: Because i-i care for you Dixie and i know that you have been starving yourself and i also know that its because of me so i need to get you to eat
 
Dixie: No you dont care for me, i know that for a fact!
 
Noah: I do Dixie, i really do
 
Dixie: What- Why did you cheat on me if you care for me?
 
Noah: Because im an ass. Cheating on you was the biggest mistake of my l-
 
Dixie: Was i boring you in our relationship? Was i not giving you the pleasure you wanted? Was i too annoying? There has to be a reason you cheated on me and i dont want to hear any of your lies right now
 
Noah: I met that girl in the supermarket one afternoon, we exchanged numbers and started meeting every night. I guess i wanted to try something different, i really dont know
 
Dixie: How long before i found out has that been going on?
 
Noah: About 2 and a half weeks
 
Dixie: So you were cheating on me for our five months anniversary?
 
Noah: Y-Yes
 
Dixie: *tears start falling down her face* Wow. I have never wasted so much money in my life before. I took you to many expensive places for our five months and you went with me even though you know you were cheating? Did you feel any type of guilt at all?
 
Noah: At the time, no. But now i feel like the biggest jerk to ever exist
 
Dixie: Im done with this conversation and you *starts getting up*
 
Noah: Dixie im sorry!
 
Dixie: Sorry isnt going to cut it Noah, i thought i was someone special to you but you somehow managed to cheat on our anniversary and not feel bad about it, that tells me that i was never someone important to you!
 
Noah: And you slept with two different people literally a day after out breakup!!
 
Dixie: Its different Noah but you wont understand. I needed a coping method and that was the only thing i could do. Since school doesnt start until next week Monday, im going to be leaving here everyday and returning at night so that should give you enough time to have your hook up because i dont want to see your face anymore (forget that i said she will get the pregnancy test at school, i dont want school to start today anymore)
 
Noah: IM NOT GOING TO HAVE INTERCOURSE WITH ANYBODY DIXIE!!
 
Dixie: Stop the fucking yelling
 
After saying that, i quickly freshened up and left with my wallet and phone. I went to the pharmacy and picked up a box of pregnancy test to take when i reach back at the dorm then i went to the beach and just sat on the sand the entire day. Upon arriving back to the dorm, i saw Noah sitting on his bed with a plate of food and a plate of food on my bed. I took up the food, dropped it in the microwave then went back into the room to find clothes so i can freshen up and take the test
 
Noah: Eat
 
Dixie: *ignores him*
 
Noah: If you dont eat Dixie, i will call your mother and inform her
 
Dixie: Do i look like i give a fuck who you call?
 
I just took my clothes along with the box of pregnancy tests and locked the washroom door. I took three pregnancy tests, two real ones and one with water so i will show Noah that one if the real one comes back positive. I set the two real tests on one side of the counter and the water test on the other side then went to freshen up. After freshening up and changing, i picked up the two real tests and slowly started flipping them. My heart was beating so fast, i could feel it pounding against my chest as i flipped the test. I couldnt believe my eyes, im going to be a single mom at 16. I quickly wrapped the tests in toilet paper and threw it in the bin for him not to see it then i walked out with the fake one and threw it on him. I could see the fear on his face as he picked it up and flipped it and all of a sudden, he began smiling. I wonder what he would have thought if he saw the positive test since he looks so happy with the negative one?
 
Noah: This means you are not pregnant right?
 
Dixie: Not pregnant so you cant force me to do anything now
 
Noah: You should know that not eating will get you really sick
 
He threw that test in a bin and got in bed. I got in my bed, turned off light, covered up and placed my hands on my stomach. Im 16 and pregnant! What will everyone think when they get to know? Am i ready to risk my friendships and family reputation for this baby? Im not sure if im ready to risk everything for this baby but i know for a fact that im keeping my child. Im definitely not telling anyone about this for a while, maybe when i start to show then i will tell people. I need to book an appointment for my first checkup. How will i raise a baby in college? Will Noah notice that its his baby when its born? I hope not! I want my family to be the first to know but im afraid they tell the Becks since they still have contact with them. I know my life isnt going to be easy now but im ready for this, im ready to put everything at risk for my baby and with that, i fell asleep, with my hands on my stomach
 
Noahs Pov:
 
I layed on bed feeling relieved. Im happy that she isnt pregnant because if she was, i would only want it to be my kid. If that test that she threw on me was positive, i dont know what i would have done knowing that she is pregnant with another persons child. I saw her get in bed, covered up and went to sleep. I wonder what she did today, she looked tired because she went to sleep faster than usual. She left here around 8am and returned after 7pm, i wonder if she ate anything when she wasnt here, i doubt. Thinking about Dixie and her wellbeing, i drifted off to sleep
