I think the hardest part was telling Jesse and my parents. I knew my dad would freak. He's totally against teen pregnancy. And to make it worse, I was only thirteen. One of the youngest teen moms. My mom would'nt be too thrilled but I knew she would support my every decision. And from the moment I found out I was pregnant, I knew I was definietly keeping the baby. I created him/her so I have to stand up and take care of them. ***************************************************
As I sit there on the bathroom floor, so many things are going through my mind. I suddenly hear the bathroom door open. I hear a voice call out my name, "Brianna?". It's Nicole; my best friend. She was the only one who knew me and John had sex. I unlocked the stall door and let her in. "Oh my god. Are you okay!?" She kneels down rubbing my back. "I'm fine. You don't think I'm...." I trail off. "Pregnant!!?? You can't be. He used to protection right!!??" She says a little too loud. "SHHHHH!!! And I think so. Things moved so fast I didn't know what i was doing." I whisper. "Look, we need to rush you to the nurse. I'm sure she's still here." She says trying to pick me up. I lean over in the toilet and puke some more. She grabs my hair and ties it up in a messy bun for me. "I can't get up. After school, we're somehow getting a pregnancy test okay?" I say grasping my stomach. "Fine. Hailey can take us." Hailey is Nicole's older sister. She's seventeen and is also a teen mom.
After about twenty minutes, I feel better. Nicole gave me some Pepto. Good thing this whole sickness thing happened after school. I text my mom telling her Hailey is taking us back to Nicole's house to do a social studies project. As soon as we get the test, we head back to Nicole's.
I read the directions and do as they say. I have to wait five minutes. It felt like the longest five minutes of my life. And I'm not a patient person. When the five minutes it up I look at the white stick waiting to know my future I see...a plus sign is staring up at me. My life will now be changed forever.
"How am I going to tell Jesse? And more importantly my parents?" My eyes fill up with tears and I see nothing but blur. I fall back on the bed, my head in Nicole's black pillow. I sob for an hour while Nicole and Hailey give me a talk and give me some advice on how to tell Jesse and my parents. This will be the hardest thing to do in my life. But I have to be strong and pull through this. I made the deicision to have sex and now I have to face the consequences.
Hailey takes me home around six o'clock. She offers to come inside and help me tell them but I deny the offer. I have to do this by myself. I hug Nicole and Hailey goodbye and thank them for everything they've done for me.
I walk to the door but pause before grabbing the doorknob. I tell myself "Be strong. You can do this. Just walk in and tell them straight up" I walk in and slowly walk into the kitchen. I smell Pizza Rolls. My favorite. But I honestly have no apetite whatsoever. "Mom, I'm pregnant." I say straight up.
I hear my dad choke in the next room and scream, "YOU'RE WHAT." My mom stands there lifeless as a statue. "Yes. I'm pregnant. Hailey gave a pregnancy test and I'm pregnant. I would really appreciate it if I didn't get screamed at and would like all your support every step of the way." I manage to get out through tears. My mom has to be on my side because she got pregnant at a young age also. Obviously not this young but at sixteen. Which means she's only twenty-nine. And my dad is thirty. "I'm going to kill that boy." My dad mumbles slamming his plastic cup on the table. "STOP. I said I wanted your support! I don't want to hear any lectures. I know it was a bad decision and I'm sorry...for being a bad daughter!" I scream dashing upstairs and locking the door behind me. I immediately change into my Aeropostale Yoga Pants and Jesse's oversized hoodie he left over here...the night we had sex. I have flash backs of that night everyday...
