Melanie's Secret

My 18th Birthday

Melanie(pov)

It was finally my 18th birthday. I had finally graduated from high school and I was accepted to go to N.Y.U in New York for college.I had  woken up from my phone blasting because  my best friend Sasha was calling me. I picked up my phone answering with annoyance,

"What do you want Sash, I am sleeping". Happy Birthday Baby girl your finally 18 and not a little kid anymore". 

She always called me a little kid because our birthdays were a couple months, I hated that she did but she was my best friend so I just answered with "Thanks Sash"  and hung up. Me and Sasha have been best friends since we were little, but ever since I started dating my boyfriend Damien she had started acting cold and distant sometimes. We three did everything together, and since they knew me so well I excited to see what they planned. I chose to wear a strapless black dress that hugged everyone of my curves, of course my boyfriend had loved it when i bought it at the mall that day. I called and uber, since I had failed my drivers test and headed to my best friends house.

As I got to her house he mother opened the door, engulfing me in a warm hug. My mother had abandoned me when I was a child so she was always like a mother to me. She left as soon as I got there, she had an emergency for work and told me Damien and Sasha upstairs in her room. Sometimes I wondered if them being alone was a really good idea. I wasn't the jealous type girlfriend but she had always been jealous of my relationship with Damien and I could see it more and more when we had started to get more serious. I shook the thought out of my head as I opened the door revealing both my bestfriend and boyfriend naked on top of each other. 

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!! I yelled at them and they both froze, as Sasha slowly slid off of him. I KNEW IT, I continued yelling, I kept thinking something was going on but I didn't want to be a jealous girlfriend and say anything. Your supposed to be my best friend, I pointed at Sasha, but instead your here in your house fucking my boyfriend. I trusted you, I trusted both of you. More anger started rolling inside of me, and as Damien came trying to calm me down I slapped him right across his face leaving a light red mark. You know what, you two can have each other because as soon as I leave tomorrow for New York, you both will never see me again.

As I stormed out the house I saw my uber still outside talking on the phone, I was so glad that I ran in the car right as Damien ran out trying to stop me. Melanie, please Melanie he pleaded while banging his hands on the window. It meant nothing to me, it was a big mistake, just get out the car and please talk to me. I couldn't even look at him, the only words that came out my mouth were to the uber when i said "drive". And as I watched Damien standing in the middle of the road I started breaking down crying, I had trusted him. I had my first time with him only one week ago. I had told him I loved him and he went and cheated on me with my bestfriend.

As I got home I packed my bag and went to bed, I had my flight early in the morning. I didn't sleep the whole night so there was no use for an alarm. As I turned my phone on I had 100 messages and texts from Damien and Sasha, both asking to talk but I didn't care. My dad drove me to the airport, I hugged him and kissed him right before I boarded the plane. I looked back at the one person I truly loved and trusted and started walking through the terminal to get to my plane. I sat in my seat and leaned back staring out the window. I started thinking was I not good enough for him, and I thought I gave him everything I could, but I knew it wasn't my fault. I would start my life in New York and move forward, forgetting Damien, Sasha, and the relationship we all had together.

 I had gotten adjusted to New York well. I had started class a week ago and everything was going good so far. I even had great roomates named Morgan and Cameron, and we all had hit it off great. As I left my last class of the day my stomach started sending shooting pains.It felt like I was getting stabbed in my side. I told my friends and they both rushed me to the Emergency Room even though I tried to tell them I was fine. As the doctor came back in the room he said some words I never thought he would say. Melanie Holloway, your pregnant.
