Angel

3

Another week passed by and my parents were back from their vacation. I still wasn't sure how I was going to tell them that my boyfriend had gotten me pregnant.

Eric pulled away from my lips before kissing me again. But, this time adding a little bit of tongue and began slowly sliding his hand underneath my skirt feeling up my thighs.

" Eric, stop. I really appreciate you picking me from school today but, you already know how my parents are, they might be watching us. " I sighed.

Maybe he was either drunk or high today. Because, when I tried to get him to stop that only made him act worse. So, I decided to slap him.

" Damn, Angel. You're acting like a bitch right now. " He said.

" What in the hell is wrong with you? " I asked him.

" I need to ask you that question. You didn't have to hit me that hard, shit. " He replied.

" I'm not in the mood, okay and if you're acting like this and we haven't even move in together then, I have to really rethink this whole situation about staying with you when the baby is born. " I said.

" Angie, do you love me? " He asked.

" Of course, I do. Why are you even asking me this? " I sighed, knowing where this argument would to led to.

" Okay. What do two people do when they love each other? " He asked once again.

" They show it. " I answered.

" I really want to take our relationship to the next level. But, in order for that to happen I'm going to need us to be on the same page. I do a lot of things for you when I'm not feeling like it, it's because, I love you and you should be willing to do the same for me. " He said.

" I know. But, I told you before about how I felt about all this. I mean, this is why we're in this situation now. " I explained.

" Okay but, I told you from the beginning that I'm not going to leave you by yourself with a baby to raise. I get that you're just 17 but, you have to grow up sometimes. You can't be a little girl for all of your life. " He said.

" I'm not saying, you're not telling the truth. But, I always thought things would be different. " I said.

" Listen Angel, I got something to do. I'll call you later when I get back home. Maybe the reason you're tripping right now is because, you're pregnant and stressed out. Just try to get some rest okay? " He sighed.

" Whatever, Eric. " I said.

I had got out of the car and made sure I had everything with me because, at this point I didn't even want to be around Eric. He had made just that upset, saying it was me with the attitude. But, yet he always says the most dumbest shit.

He drove off after, watching me go into the house. I laid my backpack on the couch and went into the kitchen to find something to eat. Hopefully, it wouldn't come back up. Morning sickness wasn't nothing to play with and I had already thrown up at least two times. The doctor I went to told me it was normal and when you are expecting, you also have the weirdest cravings.

I seen my mom sitting at the table with a empty pregnancy test box. I hate when she starts going through my things when I'm not here, I feel like it should be against the law.

" Angel, I had found this in your room. " My mom held up the empty pregnancy test box.

" Why were you snooping in my room for? " I asked her.

" Don't turn this into that. My question was why was their an empty pregnancy test box in your room? " She asked.

" I was going to wait until, late to tell you. But, I am pregnant, at least 6 weeks. " I replied.

" When were you going to tell me this? " She asked.

" Probably when I had brought the baby home in another 9 more months. " I replied.

" You're still a baby yourself. What about after you graduate high school? Don't you want to go to college? " She asked.

" I'll just move in with Eric. It's his idea actually and I can still go to college. It might be hard at first but, I'll get used to it. " I explained.

" I don't know, Angel. It's more to it than just having a baby and I just don't believe that you are ready. Have you thought about putting the baby up for adoption? " She asked me.

" We don't want to go through with it. " I told her.

" Just look into it first. You might change your mind about it. " She said.

" Okay. But, I am not making any promises. " I sighed.

I went upstairs to my bedroom and laid in the bed. Falling asleep until, the phone started ring.

" Hey Renèe. Nothing was about to fall asleep until, you had called me. " I said.

" Are you okay from this morning? " Renèe asked.

" Yeah, just a little bit of morning sickness. I'm so ready to have this baby already. So, I can have my body back. " I replied.

" Be careful, what you wish for. Besides, now you can get your rest before you have to get up at 2 o'clock in the morning because, the baby started crying. " She said.

" You're right. What's been going on with you? I didn't see you in second period. " I asked her.

" Got in trouble. I can't stand Ms. Smith. " She said.

" I told you not to take that class anyway. She stays with an attitude. " I laughed.

" I should have listened to you. But, I'm about to let you get your rest. I know you're still tired from yesterday. " She said.

" Okay, I'll see you tomorrow, bye. " I said.

I had hung up the phone then, went back to taking my nap.
