*8 hours later*
The day at the shop went surprisingly smooth. Thankfully, we were pretty busy all day so I was able to keep my mind occupied. I pull my Jeep into the driveway and head into the house, hiding the Walgreens bag behind my back.
"Hey sis! How was work?"
'Crap!' I think to myself as I stop in my tracks. "Hey bubba! It wasn't too bad. Erm... I'll be right back!" I reply to my brother as I continue scooting towards the bathroom.
He looks at me with a confused look. "Everything okay?"
"Yup!" I quickly say as I shut and lock the door behind me.
I grab the box out of the bag and begin unwrapping the test from the packaging. Following the instructions, I take the test and then lay it flat on the bathroom counter. It said to wait 5 minutes for results but I don't have the courage to look yet. A few more minutes pass by and I tell myself that I need to look. I mean, chances are it's going to be negative. I stand in front of the counter and open my eyes to read the results of the test in front of me. Two pink lines.
Fuck.
I mean, it's probably wrong, right? I should have bought a few more. I throw all of the packaging into the bag, needing to hide the evidence. Thankfully I had a hoodie laying on the floor. I throw it on and slide everything into my pocket before exiting the bathroom.
"I'm gonna go to Kie's for a little bit!" I yell out to John B as I rush back out the door.
I make my way back to the drug store and purchase two more tests and a bottle of water. When I hop back into the vehicle I call Kie to see if she is home. The line rings once and I instantly hear Kie on the other end. "Did you take a test?"
"Can I come over to your house and do it? John B is home and I don't want him in my business while I'm trying to do it."
She agrees and I start the short drive back to her place, chugging the water as I go. She opens the front door when I arrive and we head upstairs to her bathroom.
I start taking the new tests out of the bag, "okay I bought two more I'm gonna take."
"Wait... two more? Did you already take one?"
I pull the old one out of my hoodie pocket, "yeah it came out positive, but I'm sure it's wrong."
She yanks the test from my hand to see for herself. "Ya know, false positives are rare."
"Well I don't think that one is right!" My emotions are starting to take over. "Look, I'm gonna take these two and go from there. Just come back in 5 minutes."
She exits and closes the door behind her. I do the same as before, taking the tests and laying them on the bathroom counter. I pace back and forth anxiously while I await the results to show up.
Kie comes back in after 5 minutes as promised. "Well?"
"I can't look, you look for me."
She pauses for a moment then moves her attention to the counter. "Umm, Liv?"
I let out a deep breath and open my eyes to see two pink lines just as before.
Fuck.
