Following The Red Gunned Road (my chemical romance)

Chapter 46

I woke up the next morning to find myself lying in bed by myself. I looked around the bedroom and saw it was empty, and the bathroom door was open so he wasn't in there. I looked at the time and saw it was only 10:00am.

“Frank?” I called out thinking he might be in the living room but no answer. I sighed and sat up. As I sat up, something caught my eye on Frank’s side of the bed. I looked over and saw a white piece of paper with some writing on. I reached over and picked it up. It was a note from Frank.

'I have just gone out with the guys but won't be long.

I love you loads babe, always remember.

Love Frank xxx'

I smiled and put the piece of paper back down on the table.

After lying in bed for another maybe 10/15 minutes, I finally decided to drag myself out. I pushed the quilt of me and lifted myself of bed. As soon as I stood up, I felt a sick feeling rush through me. I quickly ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet. After about half an hour of sitting by the toilet and occasionally being sick, I struggled to stand up and looked in the mirror. The first thing I noticed was my stomach. It looked like I had put ten pounds on overnight. I felt so fat. The first thing that popped into my head when I looked at my stomach was I'm pregnant, but I couldn't be, I mean... I only slept with Frank once. But... what if I was? What should I do? One thing I did know is that I needed to find out... but how? I was so scared.

I walked out of the bathroom and out the front door, not taking any notice at all that I was still in Frank’s shorts and my pyjama top. I walked next door and knocked on the door. Alicia opened a few seconds later.

“Hey” she smiled.

“Hi” I faintly smiled back “Um... could I ask a favour?”

“Of course” she replied, “Come in” she walked in and sat on the sofa in the living room so I followed and sat beside her. “So, what do you need?” she smiled again.

“Um...” I tried to hold back tears, how was I supposed to ask her? “Where is everyone?” I asked first realizing that no one else was in the room.

“They have all gone out… is that what you wanted to ask?”

“No” I shook my head, “Um... d-do you think you could go to the shops for me and get... a um... because I feel too young to get one for myself and it’s embarrassing and-”

“Lisa” she laughed “I will get you whatever you need, you know I am always here for you babes, what do you need?”

“A... um... a p-pregnancy test”

“Really?” she looked stunned “Who for? You?”

“I'm scared Alicia, I feel like I have put on so much weight the last couple of weeks, and everyone else has noticed. I'm so scared. I... I just want to know” I said quickly as I felt tears run down my face.

“Aww, don't cry” she pulled me into a hug “Of course I will get one for you sweetheart, and if you are pregnant, we will all be here for you one hundred percent, and I defiantly know Frank will, he loves you so much”

“Thank you so much” I cried.

“You’re very welcome. I will just get changed, I don't think I want to go shops in my pyjamas” she giggled “then I will go for you”

“Thank you so much Alicia, I don't know what I'd do without you, I'll go get the money”

“No, it’s okay, I will get it for you”

“No, I want to give you the money”

She sighed “Okay, you can pay me back later then”

I nodded “Thank you”

She smiled “Would you like to wait in here? I don't think anyone is going to be back for a while”

“Yes please... I don't want to go back into my room in case Frank comes back”

She nodded “I understand... okay, I will get changed then go for you”

“Thank you so much, I love you”

She smiled “It’s no problem sweetie” she stood up and walked into her room.

She came back out about 5 minutes later.

“I'll see you in a bit then” she said as she grabbed her keys from the side.

“Yeah, thank you so, so much for doing this for me Alicia”

“It’s no problem at all” she smiled and hugged me before walking out the door.

I sat in the same spot on the sofa, hardly moving at all while I waited for her to come back. About 15 minutes later, I heard the door open. I turned around and saw Alicia walking up to me with a carrier bag in her hand.

“Here you go” she smiled as she handed it to me.

“Thank you so much” I smiled back as I took it.

“Would you like to stay here with me while you do it?”

I nodded slightly “please” I asked trying to fight back tears, I was so scared.

“Of course, I understand how hard this must be for you. I mean, you're only 17”

I nodded and took a deep breath, before walking into the bathroom.

I sat patiently and scared in the bathroom as I waited for the result. Alicia kept trying to talk to me, but everything she said seemed to go in one ear and straight out the other. I was too nervous to do or say anything. Those 3 minutes of waiting seemed like hours.

“Are you ready?” Alicia asked softly.

“I don't know” I replied as I looked down at my shaking hands.

“Do you want me to look for you?”

I nodded still not looking up. I saw Alicia from the corner of my eye stand up and walk to the pot. I started shaking more as silence spread around the room. I slowly looked up and saw Alicia slowly kneel down in front of me and pass the tube to me.

I looked at her, and just by her face expression I knew what the result was. I tightly shut my eyes and looked down; I turned over the tube then slowly opened my eyes again. The first thing that caught my eye was the green light, the writing seemed blurry to me, but I knew what the green light meant. I dropped the tube to the floor and fell into Alicia as I cried into her neck.
