"Are you sure you want to do this, Mon?" Olivia bit her lip. I nodded, "I need to see for myself before I jump to conclusions." I've been feeling different for weeks. I've ignored it, and put if off as the flu. Why would I have the flu though? Olivia rolled her eyes. "I think you're overreacting!"
I shooked my head, "I need to make sure." For some reason Olivia didn't want me to take an pregnancy test. She said it was so stupid on my part. How? I opened the pregnancy test kit. I read the instructions in my head. "Monse, I'm so serious. Stop being idiotic." Olivia said.
"Look, I'm doing this no matter what you have to say. I need to clear these thoughts from my mind before I go crazy, k?" I said to Olivia before she could go on. She huffed and leaned against wall. "Fine, go inside the bathroom already." She waved. I sighed and went inside of my bathroom.
"Make sure my dad or Dani doesn't come inside of my room!" I yelled. Olivia didnt even respond to me. Why is she so upset with me making sure I'm not pregnant? After I finished, I placed the stick onto the sink and washed my hands. I opened the bathroom. Olivia grinned, "So?"
"Liv, I have to wait like 15 minutes." I raised my eyebrow. I sat on the floor. "Why do you think you're pregnant? You and Cesar use protection right?" She asked. I shooked my head, "Not recently. It's not safe and it's stupid of me. But I-"
"But you thought it was okay." She said. I nodded, "Yeah I did." My eyes burned. The tears started to fall. "I'm so fucking stupid for doing that! It was stupid." I cried. Olivia sighed, "Well it was stupid, but you're human and you make mistakes. But I know you're not pregnant."
Olivia walked over and wiped my eyes. "Don't beat yourself up over this." She smiled at me. "This will all be over soon, all of this bullshit." She kissed my head. Olivia sat down beside me and held me as I cried. "Thank you, for being here." I said. She smiled, "Of course I'm here. I love you Monnie. I'll always be here."
I squeezed her hand, "I know you will." We sat there for a while not talking. Just holding hands. The timer on my phone went off. I wiped my eyes and looked at Olivia. She smiled, "Go look for yourself." I know I'm not pregnant. Olivia said there was no way I was. We stood up and went into the bathroom. I picked up the stick.
My face frowned, "What the hell?"
Olivia snatched the stick to look for herself. I couldn't breathe, why? I started crying again. Olivia looked at me. "You keeping that?" She asked. I couldn't even answer her. Everything is fucked up. She laughed, "Of course you will. So you can just fuck up Cesar's life." I looked at her.
"He has so much going for himself! You will ruin his life. He wants to actually be something and you can't keep your legs closed! Now he'll be stuck in Freeridge instead of Tex- instead of somewhere!" She screamed at me. I let her scream at me, because someone needed to. Olivia threw the test across my room.
Why is she so mad? She's more upset than I am right now.
She let out an sigh. "Look, Monsie. I love you sooo much. But I don't want you to ruin Cesar and your life." She tried to hold my hand, but I moved away. Olivia looked hurt when I did that. Her eyes were darker now. "When he finds out, he won't be happy. So I won't tell him about this. Because we're besties." She smiled at me. I looked at my stomach.
I can't do this. At all. "What's going on?" I looked over to see Cesar. He pointed behind him. "Dani let me in." He smiled. Olivia cleared her throat. "Okay, I guess I'll just go." She said. Olivia hugged me. When she was walking out the door, she hugged Cesar. He seemed tense at first.
Then he hugged her. "Um...yeah bye." Cesar pushed her out of the room. When she was gone, he smirked. I didn't smile back at him. I want him to leave. I don't want to see him right now. "Cesar..." I started off. He shooked his head.
"You've been a little dodgy lately?" He walked closer to me. I nodded, "Yeah-"
Cesar laughed loudly. "Well I didn't expect you to just admit it like that." He said. He wrapped his arms around my waist. I didnt smile at him like usual. I wasn't in the mood to smile. "Why are you being like this?" He frowned.
"Because I don't want this!" I screamed. He jumped a little. "Okay, calm down-" I shooked my head. "Cesar get out." I said. He moved away from me. Cesar nodded, "Yeah maybe I should leave."
"Great, close the door behind you." I said before sitting on my bed. Cesar slammed the door behind him.
