A Little Speed Bump

Chapter 3

Chelsea's pov

After a moment his phone rang.
I let him go and he took it out of his pocket.

"It's Brandon." He says.

" I didn't answer my phone. Plus it was on silent." I say.

He answered and put it on speaker.

C- Hello?
B- Hey is Chel okay?
C- Hey it's me. Your on speaker. B, can you come over?
B- Yeah. I'm on the way.
C- See you soon.

My brother then hung up.

"He's your best friend. You have to tell him." He says.

"I know." I say.

Moments later Brandon was in my room.

"I need to tell you something." I say.

"What's the matter?" He asks.

"I'm pregnant and Jo left me." I say.

He then wrapped me in his arms.

"I'm so sorry." He says.

"I'm keeping the baby." I say.

He then stepped back.

"You have all of my support." He says.

"You don't hate me?" I ask.

"I couldn't ever hate you." He says.

"I didn't see any of this coming. Seventeen, pregnant, and I loose my boyfriend." I say.

"Well you won't be alone during this." He says.

"The part that sucks the most is my baby won't have there father." I say.

"We are all gonna be here every step of the way." He says.

I nod.

"In time Chelsea. I wanna be here for you more then I already am only if you let me." He says.

"B I know that you like me and yes I like you but I don't want to start anything yet. Plus we'd have to tell me brother." I say.

"It's your choice." He says.

"B I do want to be with you but not right now." I say.

A few days later I started feeling better and Brandon has been around a lot. Bubby, Jackie, and I are now at home, we're having dinner.

"Your smiling again." Chief says.

"Yeah." I say with a small smile.

"In the amount of time, Brandon has made you smile a smile I have not seen in a while." He says.

"I know that he likes you. I also know you like him." Jackie says.

"We like eachother yes but I'm not ready to start anything." I say.

"You know that if you two do wind up wanting to start a relationship I wouldn't have a problem." Chief says.

"You wouldn't?" I ask.

"No. Your turning eighteen in March." He says.

"I don't know why but I had thought you woulda had a problem." I say.

"No. We have all known eachother for the longest time. I've always known at some point the two of you would have feelings for eachother." He says.

"He's talked to you hasn't he?" I ask.

"Yes he has. Chel he really wants to be here for you and the baby." He says.

I guess I have some choices to make. I just didn't think I'd be making them at seventeen. I didn't think I would have to grow up this fast.
