Dream: The Story of Her

Chapter Two

I was sitting in the little room at the hospital. While my mom freaked out.

The doctor kept asking me different questions and all I could think is make it go away. Make everything go away. Its amazing that I had thought this whole time I was going to be going out doing crazy things when I was eighteen. I never thought I would be sitting here waiting to find out what was wrong with me. I knew what was wrong with me. I had a baby growing inside of me and no matter what I thought I was not going to be able to change that.

“Are you sexually active?”

“She better not be.” My mom says before I can say anything.

So I just shock my head no…

“Mrs. Rodriguez can you go outside for a second.”

“Jazmine are you sexually active?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Parents are scary people.” He smiled.

“Is it possible you could be pregnant?”

“Yes...”

“Ok I’m going to test you really fast. Your mom doesn’t need to know since you’re eighteen alight.”

“Alright.”

As I set there I knew what that test was going to say. I didn’t want to know I wanted it to say No Jaz you are not having a baby you are still a normal teenager who gets to go out and have fun. I knew that wasn’t going to happen. I think your heart knows when you’re pregnant. It’s like it has a sense that you are going to be a mom. I had the feeling and let me tell you it scared the shit out of me.

“Well you are pregnant. That’s what is causing all the pain you’re having. It’s called gastritis.”

“Ok…” Was all I could say “Can I get a note for school please?”

“Yes, So here are some prescriptions ones for prenatal and the other for your gastritis.”

“Alright.”

I was numb. There was another person inside me. A child, I was going to be this kid’s mom. I walked out of the room looked at mom and smiled.

“What’s wrong?”

“Gastritis they gave me meds for it and it should be fine after that.”

“Aright.” My mom smiled

She had no idea I was having a kid and I wasn’t ready to tell her yet.

“Want to go home and rest?”

“No I want to go to school.” I smiled.

“Alright.”

So she dropped me off at school I walked to my 4th period class where Tonya and Hannah looked at me like where the hell have you been.

“Hey.” I smiled fighting the tears

“What’s wrong?” Tonya asked

“I’m pregnant”

“Oh god Jaz I’m so sorry.” Hannah says hugging me

“Does Aaron know?”

“Nope I haven’t talked to him for like a month.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I’m going to cry if that’s alright.” A few minutes later the bell rang and it was lunch.

We walked to the shark tank were we ate lunch every day. Set down and they hugged me while I cried.

“I’m going to go to choir room really fast ok?” I tell Tonya and Hannah

I got up and started walking over there when Marie saw me and ran up to me.

 “What’s wrong?”

“There’s a kid in my stomach and my options are have a baby be a mom, abort, or give it up.”

“Well so keep it or give it up, are the only real options.” She said hugging me

“Yeah I can’t kill a person. Is it bad that I feel like I’m killing a person?”

“No it means you have a heart. Where you going?”

 “To choir room. Got to get my sheet music.”

“Ok I’ll walk you.”

“Yay.”

I walked up to the door and there was Valarie, Isabelle, and Katherine the looks on their faces said where the hell where you and why do you look like someone just died.

“Hello Ladies.” I say doing my best to smile

“You missed the assembly. It’s also our last day before Christmas break what’s going on?” Katherine says all serious

“Nothing.” I say fighting the tears

“Jaz? Are you ok?” Isabelle looks concerned

“Im preggers.” I say trying to be strong.

“Oh god Im so sorry.” She says knowing that this is so not good

“I keep thinking if I say it enough it will sink in but no nothing. All I can think of is how the hell am I going to tell my mom. What if she kills me?”

“Well you have us.” Katherine smiled

Sometimes I thought that she thought of herself as the self-appointed leader of our little click in choir. We all knew better but we never said anything. We let her go on thinking what she wanted.

“So are you going to tell mom?” Isabelle ask

“How?”

“Good point we don’t want a dead Prego girl.”

“Yeah we really don’t want that.”

Val set there taking it all in then she decided to say something,

“It will be ok.”

That’s when I just cried I think that was what I needed the most in the world just to cry and let the world know I wasn’t ok with this. This was not how my senior year was supposed to go. It was supposed to be fun I was supposed to be happy. Well that went to hell in a hand basket.
