Mackenzie

Me and the girls went inside the house and greeted each other. We got up into Jojo's room and sat in silence until she raised her voice.

"So, has anyone some news?" she asked.

I spoke first. "I have."

Everyone looked at me. Annie answered. "Then tell us."

"But promise you won't judge me?" I asked and they all nodded.

"Well, I don't know if I'm right but I- I think... maybe... I t- think... maybe I'm p- pregnant." I stuttered. Everyone gasped.

"WHAT?" Annie spit out.

"I don't know if I'm really pregnant but a few days before Jacob's party... we had unprotected sex because I had no more condoms and I already had my period four days ago - so..." I said.

Ruby got up. "I'll be back in a few minutes."

"Where are you going? " Lauren asked her.

"I'm getting a pregnancy test for her." she replied and I nodded her a thank you.

After exactly 23 minutes Ruby came back and handed my two pregnancy tests.

I walked into the bathroom and used them. When I was finish I walked out. No one said anything. We all knew we'd have to wait at least five minutes so we sat on the couch and turned on Netflix. We watched a random series until my alarm rang. I got up and took Lauren with me.

"Can you look for it? I just can't." I said.

"Don't worry Mackenzie. It'll be alright." she replied.

Then she cuddled me for a second and left to look for the test. I stood there in silence for about two until Lauren came back.

"What did it say?" I asked her, afraid of what she would answer.

She didn't say anyghing. The other girls came over to us.

Everyone asked it at the same time. "What did it say?"

Again Lauren said nothing. She looked down at  the two tests in her hand. Then she looked up again. "I'm sorry Kenzie."

"I knew it..." I said.

And my vision went black.

"Kenz please."

"I'm so worried."

"Babe please wake up."
"What happened? Wake up."
"I need you."

"I love you."

•••

I woke up and saw nothing but white.

"Hey." I heard Johnny say.
"What happened?" I asked.
"You went to meet your girls and passed out." he answered.

I went queit.
Then everything came back.

"Hey, are you okay Mackenzie?" Johnny asked me.

I realized a tear had slipped out.
I quickly wiped it away. I had to be strong.
I sat up in the bed and looked at Johnny.

It was to moment in my life when everything changed. My life, my future, everything.
It was the most afraid moment in my entire life.
Would he leave me?
Would he force me to abort it?

I took a deep breath.
Then, with a husky voice I told him the truth.

"I'm pregnant."
