Can We Talk? Chap.21

"We didn't use a condom." I said sitting on the bathroom floor at Tasha's. "I can't be pregnant, I can't have a baby, I'm not fit to be a parent." I blabbed as I wiped my eyes. "Well, just hold on a second.. the test hasn't said anything yet." Cara said while rubbing my back.

I'd recently made up with her in the past days, and she forgave me for whatever happened between her brother and I. So she came over to Tasha's to help decorate for my "surprise party" but I'd long ruined that surprise when I came storming in.

"Angie's gonna kill me and Tasha's going to kill me." I yelled. Nessie continuously handed me tissues. "I am not ready for a child.. out of wedlock." I couldn't stop crying.. because I don't want this baby.

Times up I thought, I grabbed the two test off the counter trying not to look. "It's best to get it over with sis, so we can just get back to this birthday." Nessie said trying to cheer me up. I looked at both test and I could barely even breathe, at first you can just feel it. But when you see it, there is no way to deny it.

I covered my mouth before turning to the toilet to literally throw up again; For the 3rd time today.

At that moment I heard the front door close, "okay, I told talia to come over at 7 and then we cou-" she stopped as she saw my present state in her bathroom. Nessie took her out of the room and I heard a small argument before Tasha walked in and said "what were you thinking?" She said sitting down next to me.

"I wasn't thinking, I'm so stupid and I'm so sorry." I started crying all over again. "You have to tell Nicholas." She said with sadness in her eyes. Congratulations natty, you've already made your own sister disappointed in you. "What if he doesn't want this baby?" I whispered. "Well he's got it now, can't do much about it. But natty there's one thing you have to realize, you have options. Adoption is a big one and so is Abortion, you have the right to your choices. And this stick right here could be totally broken, I'll take you to a doctor tomorrow if you'd like. You know to get a physicians opinion." She said while making small circles on my back.

"Can I have some time alone?" I said slowly. "Of course." They all got up and shut the door before they left. I reached into my sweatshirt pocket and pulled out my cellphone.

"Hey Nicholas, can we talk?" I croaked into the phone. I heard party music on the other side of the phone and it sounded like he was having a good time over there. "I'm kinda busy right now baby.. Can I call you back?" He said into the phone. "Yeah sure." I replied. "You alright? Is it something important?" He pressed. "No, it's nothing." I said trying to sound upbeat. "Okay babe, if you say so. Look I got to go, love you." He said before hanging up.

It's nothing important at all.

I know these chapters are short which is why I plan on packing them with over the top stuff like this.
