Afraid

Chapter 37

Leah's Pov.

What does the doctor mean she is seven weeks pregnant?

Florence said she slept with Tyde four weeks ago. So is he not the father?

I will be so relieved if it's not Tyde's baby but what if Florence slept with him more than once and he is the father. I guess no one knows but Florence.

"Florence," Natasha said as she put a hand on Florence's shoulder which interrupted my thoughts.

Florence just sat there in shock, I think we all are really. But maybe the whole being pregnant thing just clicked to her.

She hadn't said a word since the doctor told her that she was seven weeks pregnant and not four.

Florence didn't even react to Natasha's words so Natasha turned to me and gave me a 'what-should-I-do-look' but I just shrugged.

Out of all people, she was asking me how to comfort Florence. Really?
She turned back to Florence, "let's go" she said to Florence.

I got up from my seat on the other side of the room.

We walked out of the doctors and into Natasha's car. Natasha drove and Florence sat in the passenger seat while I sat in the back.

The drive was silent. I felt for Florence, how could this happen? I have met her parents a couple times when we were friends, they liked me but were always strict, so I had no idea how they were going to take the big news. To be honest I was scared for her.

"Florence..." I trailed off, needing to ask.

She slightly turned her head to look at me

"Who's the father?" I asked.

She didn't look annoyed at my question but scared. Scared to tell me.

I was really having second thoughts about Tyde being the father...but then how many boys did she sleep with?

When we arrived at Florence's house Natasha took her inside but I stayed in the car because I didn't really have anything to say to her to make her feel better and I knew she didn't want me around at the moment.

About five minutes later Natasha came out of Florence's house and back into her car.

"Is she okay?" I asked as she sat in the front seat.

"She's..." Natasha trailed off while turning the car on.

"Freaking out," Nat finished.

"Did she tell you who the father was?" I asked her.

"No. But I don't think it's Tyde" she said and looked at me.

"Same. But you never know with Florence" I told her.

Natasha nodded and started to drive off. Natasha was scared for Florence, I could tell.

When Natasha stopped in front of my house we kind of just sat there.

"How do you think her parents will take it?" I asked her.

"I don't know. All I'm hoping is that her parents will support her through it," she said.

"I agree" I said and unbuckled my seatbelt.

"Well...thanks for the ride," I said and
as I was about to open up the door she spoke again.

"Will Tyde support her through it?" She asked. "You know, if he is the father" she added.

I thought about it for a second, my hand still resting on the door handle. "I don't know. He isn't exactly father material," I answered honestly.
