Living a New Life with Sam Pottorff

Chapter 12

POV: Zoe

I don't know what is going on inside of me. I asked Sam to go out and get a test for me. He then starts to throw up and get sick, so I go out a get a test. It's so horrible that Sam got sick too. Maybe we are both sick with some virus. I hope that's the case.

The only reason I could be pregnant is because we don't know if the condom broke. I wasn't on my birth control because I stopped having my period and my mom was worried I was becoming anorexic or bulimic again. I don't even care about her but Sam's mom pointed it out too. I don't want to be pregnant, I don't. I'm a junior in high school. I do believe that it would hinder my education( I know I sound like a mom right now, but it's true!).

I knew I was going to become pregnant in high school so I haven't really thought about college( I know that's super sad, I know). I'm thinking about just going to a community college for the first two years if I'm not pregnant. I really hope I'm not pregnant. It's expensive! So many toys and clothing, not to mention diapers and wipes!

As I finish my thoughts I walk inside Walgreens.

"Hello welcome to Walgreens! Do you need help with finding anything?" A women asks.
"No I'm fine thank you," I say and walk away.
I go over to the make up section first and pick up concealer because I was running out. Sam needed something for his virus so I picked up medicine and a smaller tub of ice cream. Then over to the pregnancy test. I get out my phone and pretend to call one of my best friends.

"So is that all you need? The test and concealer?" I say and pause.
"Okay yeah I can pay for it. I think Sam is sick so I got him some medicine and ice cream for me! I'll be back soon I just have to pay for our stuff!" I say and pause in between my sentences.
"Bye," I say and 'hang up'. I'm already by the cash register as I hang up the phone. As I 'hang up' the phone, I give the four things to the cashier.
"Quite the arrangement of good you have here," the cashier says.
"Yeah, the fun times when you get you friend a pregnancy test because she is freaking out at your place, she came over at 5:00am," I say.
"Geeze that's hard. Well I hope your friend is okay with your amazing good," he says
"Thanks, have a good day!" I say a float out of the doors.

I walk home and enjoy the bright sun on my skin. I just hope this guy didn't think I was pregnant and going home to do the test like a lameo. I mean that's what I'm doing, but I don't want people to think that of me. I'm a junior and don't want to be considered a whore or a slut just because my first time having sex made me pregnant.

I come home to Sam's home and go back into his room. He's on his bed with laptop on his lap, and a bucket on his left. He looks so sad being sick.
"Hey babe, how ya feeling?" I ask Sam.
"Hey baby, I'm doing better, it was just that one time when you left. How are you feeling?" He asks me as I sit down in the bed on his right side(not where the bucket is).
"I'm doing alright, I feel a bit better but I'm nervous about the test...." I say.
"It's alright, if we are pregnant then we can just deal with it. We will be fine either way, don't worry. Have you taken the test yet?" He asks.
"No I'm going into the bathroom to do that now," I say and walk into the bathroom.

I walk though the bathroom doors and close them. I follow the instructions on the box. It's pretty self explanatory. I pee on the stick and put the cap on so it can absorb and tell me my results. It says I have to wait for 15 minutes until the test will say if I'm pregnant or not. I open the bathroom doors after peeing, and Sam is still on the bed. He gets up from the bed and gives me a big long hug. I start to cry with his arms around me.

"Everything is going to be fine," he says in a reassuring tone.
"No! If I'm pregnant I'm going to be shamed by everybody. My parents already hate me and are horrible humans. People at school hate me too and they call me a slut even when I was a virgin! It's going to be true now that I'm pregnant," I say.
"It's okay, it's okay. Everything is perfectly perfect, you are loved by me and if you have a fetus inside you, it loves you too! Hopefully it wasn't be there and just a bug or virus." Sam says.
"I hope. We have to wait for 15 minutes and then it will say if I'm pregnant or not," I say in my tears. I wipe them away and try to hold back anymore.,
"Okay so what can we do in 15 minutes?" Sam asks.
"We can cuddle and watch your videos?" I ask. We both hop in the bed and watch his videos.
"You know, we should do another video," Sam says.
"We should, but it might be a bad image if we're pregnant and you make a video with me," I say.
"True, wait has it been 15 minutes?" Sam asks.
"Yes, do you want to go check with me?"
"Yes!" He says. We both get up a run to the bathroom. I have the test facing downward.
"The instructions say if it has two lines it's positive, if it has one its negative. Positive means I'm pregnant negative means I'm not." I say to Sam. He nods and let's me turn over the little contraption. I turn it over and it has two lines.
"I'm pregnant," I say in shock.

Authors note: wow! Shocking stuff happening! I'm so sorry that I haven't been updating like I was. I'm back in school and it's crazy. Hopefully I can update regularly. I'll try to update on the weekends more! I love you guys and always stay beautiful.
