The Secret Pregnancy

Chapter 2

My parents walked I on Michael and I sleeping in the morning. I could hear

them whispering to each other. My dad mumbles something about dating and

my mom says something about Ashton. I cringe slightly when I hear his name

and Michael moves around a bit. My mom steps into my room and wakes us up

for school. I quickly run into the shower and by the time I got out Michael was

gone. We always walk to school together. It was odd that he did not wait for me

today. My mind trails off and I begin to think that Michael left me because he

doesn't want to be around the girl with the baby. I don't blame him, who would?

I think about the baby for a minute. I cannot believe I made this mess. I feel

tears in my eyes and just as I'm about to start crying, my mom walks in. I quickly

turn around and try to make my voice sound strong.

"Mom! You need to learn how to knock!" I say as I grab my bag and walk out. I'm

almost a week pregnant now and I know soon enough I won't be able to keep

this secret anymore. I think about how I'll tell my parents. I probably should do

that today, but I am not ready to see them experience heartbreak or be the

cause of it for that matter. When I finally arrive at school, I don't see Michael

anywhere. As I'm walking through the school, I hear people turn to each other

and whisper things. I just shrug my shoulders and assume some new drama was

stirred up. I walk down the hall to my locker and I see Luke waiting for me. Luke

is one of Michael's close friends. He's kind of awkward when Michael isn't

around and we don't really talk much. When I began to put in my locker

combination, Luke grabbed my wrist.

"Uh... Hi." I say staring at him and back at my wrist. He doesn't seem too

amused. He looks at me with a concerned look on his face and takes me to the

empty science lab. "We need to talk. Quickly. About Ashton." He says looking

down at his feet. Why does he want to talk about Ashton? He barely even talks

to him. He probably thinks Ashton and I am still a thing.

"Okay..."I say waiting for an explanation.

"He told some people at school that you cheated on him with Michael and-"

Before Luke could finish his story; I rushed out to find Michael. I could barely see

anything except for tears streaming down my face. This is all my fault. I'm the

idiot and now Michael is being brought into my mess. While I'm impatiently

running through the halls, I get stopped by a large crowd and I hear some

slamming of lockers. I push through the crowd, still determined to find Michael.

While I'm going through the crowd I hear some people talking.

"Dumb bitch."

"Cheyenne, the slut, is coming through."

"Fucking idiot cheated on Ashton and still has other guys fighting for her." I'm

not even sure what she was talking about till I got to the front. Michael and

Ashton were throwing punches at each other.

"Michael! Stop! Please!" I screamed and I saw Michael and Ashton punching

each other. Ashton turns and sees me and grows a smirk on his face.

"Look who's here?" He says while stepping away from Michael. I don't look at

him. I'm too focused on Michael. There is blood dripping all over his face. There

is a large cut on the side of his lip. "Who are you staring at slut?" Ashton asks

and before he can reply, Michael comes over and punches him. Afterwards, he

holds him against the locker and says, " Punch me all you want, but don't ever

call her that again." I run away as quickly as I could. I didn't wait to hear

Ashton's response. I didn't want to go through this anymore. This stupid

pregnancy just started and it's already ruined my life. As I'm running out I find a

restroom and I sit down in one of the stalls. I start sobbing and thinking about

what I should do. As I'm crying, I think about what Michael told me last night.

"I'll support whatever you choose." I wasn't even thinking about "options". It

was really just have the baby in my mind, before Michael had said that.

I pulled out my phone and searched for a close clinic. When I found one, I

searched up "abortion" while tears started dripping down my face.
