My life as a Teeenager

lifes on the up

It had been several weeks since my dad blew up at the Linfield's dinner table. we had hardly spoke, the only ever time he spoke to me was to pass him the salt... I never wanted to disappoint my father if anything I wanted him to be proud of me, I never knew I would get pregnant after my first time having sex I was so naïve. It wasn't just my dad that wasn't speaking to me... Jake wasn't either he tried to avoid me like the plague in school and out of school it was hard due to us living next door to each other. I was coming up to my second trimester of my pregnancy I was 13 weeks 4 days.

while locking my front door to go to work, I noticed Jake coming out of his house I automatically thought 'here we go, he's going to act like I'm not there' but no...

"Sophie?" he sounded rushed

"oh, wow you remember my name." I said sarcastically while getting in my car trying not to give him any eye contact

"off course I remember the mother of my child name." while walking over to the passenger door and climbing in

I didn't find him funny what's so ever, and I certainly didn't want him in my car.

"what are you doing? I'm going to work." I said agitated

"we need to talk."

"oh really and you've only just realised that? hm." I bit back while trying to put my seatbelt on but failing miserably because each time I pulled the belt with anger it kept stopping, I tried to calm myself down.

"here, pass me the belt." Jake said while smirking at me

He reached over and tugged the jammed seatbelt while inches from my face and his breathing hitched, and mine followed. 'What could go wrong, I was already pregnant' I thought. Next thing our lips had connected and the kiss became more powerful, I stopped before I regretted it.

"I need to go to work." I whispered hinting him to get out of my car

"ok, ill come round tonight if its safe." he said matter of fact

my dad was away on business, so it was safe.

"yes its safe." I couldn't help but smile

while driving to work I couldn't help but feel quite pleased with this situation... I've liked Jake for a while, and having his baby has brought us closer. even though we haven't actually decided on what we are going to do yet. Every time I talk about the baby my mum would always give me a reassuring look and I knew the look from the conversation we had 3 days after my parents found out I was pregnant, mum gave me 3 options 'the easy option-abortion-not easy at all, the not so easy option- adoption-nope, and the hard option-bringing up a child at 17-my option' they were the options and personally the hardest option for me would be to abort my unborn child. I told my mum I wanted to have this child, she told me should would help but I still have to complete school and college, mum told me not to worry about my dad- he will come round. she also told me that she well provide for the baby until I was earning a stable amount of money.

I made it to work on time. When I walked in Sarah my boss was waiting in the back room for me, here goes I thought my secret had been found out and I would lose my job but apparently not I had been given the months bonus check for being the 'the first best new comer' I was so proud I had an extra $500 in my bank account plus my monthly wage $800. I worked 33 hours a week so I was making fairly good amount of money and right now I needed the money.

'yes, I had worked for a full month of my life- 33 hours a week- and my wage was due in my bank account'

The wrest of the day dragged, If I wasn't serving customers I was restocking the clothes department. when it was finally time to close up at 7pm I bumped into to Ella. I didn't tell Ella I was pregnant at the beginning I couldn't face it I knew she was my bestfriend but telling people made it feel more real but seeing her now it made me think I should actually tell her.
