Best Choice or Worst Mistake

Part 3

-1 week later-

I flushed the toilet to get rid of the disgusting mess that had left my body. Kirsten handed my a tissue to wipe my nose.

"That's the fourth time this week honey" She said.

"God what's wrong with me!?" I wondered.

"Did you and loverboy use protection?" she asked.

"I'm not pregnant!" I glared at her.

"That's what it looks like" she said.

"I can't be!" I said.

"You can, you just don't want to be" she added

"My parents will kill me if I am" I groaned

"Your parents scare me sometimes" she said

"That's their thing" I said.

I decided I was bored talking to her on the bathroom floor and moved to my bedroom.

"Maybe you should take a test, just to see" She suggested.

"I guess" I agreed.

"Then tell lover boy" she said.

"He'll probably want nothing to do with it if I am" I sighed.

"No he seems to sweet to do that" she said.

"You don't know that!" I added.

"You don't either" She pointed out

I gently slapped her arm. I'm so screwed if I'm pregnant, I'll be a single 25 year old mum.

The next day Kirsten burst through my bedroom door and threw a box at me.

"Go pee on it" She demanded

"Normal people say hello" I groaned

"At what point did I give you the impression I'm normal" She said

I slumped past her to the bathroom. I took the test out of the box and used it. Now I had to wait five minutes so I placed it in the sink. I let Kirsten in before she broke down the door from excitement. After five minutes I asked her to check it, she plucked it from the sink.

"I'M GOING TO BE AN AUNTIE!" She squealed.

I groaned in shock and horror. I wished the apartment would spontaneously combust and Kirsten got out and left me there. How am I going to tell Mark? It's not really something you can do over text.

Kirsten was running all around the apartment like she had just won the damn lottery. While she was distracted I decided to arrange a meeting with Mark.

Kara: Are you free anytime soon? I want to talk to you.

Mark: I'm not today but I'm free after 1pm tomorrow if that's okay?

Kara:That's great. I'll meet you tomorrow

I sent him the directions to my favourite cafė in LA.

I'm nervous. What if he wants absolutely nothing to do with me or the baby? What if he wants me to get an abortion? I don't think I could be a Mum on my own and I don't think I'd be able to live with myself if I got an abortion.
