I quickly get in my car, and go off to school not sure of how to handle this. Should I take a test and then freak out? Or freak out then calm down when it's negative? What do I do if it's positive? How do I tell Jake?
Okay Mel, breathe, everything will be okay.
I keep telling myself that same thing over and over as I try to pay attention to driving to school. As I drive I think of a plan. I'll get a test after school and take it tomorrow morning before school. If it's positive I'll take the day if it's not then I'll be good to roll.
I just know I won't be able to pay attention worth a shit with this on my mind. At least Jake's class is first so it's not as bad. I calm and slow my breathing as best I can as I drive to school. I have so many things going through my mind.
Before I knew it I pulled into my parking space. I don't even remember the drive here I was so much in thought. Liz pulls up next to me. I can't help but think to tell her. With being with Cody, drama with Jake, and my dad I totally can't have ONE MORE thing make my life nuts.
She walks up to the car and hops in "Morning chick!"
I give her a brief glance as I say "Goodmorning." Unable to think of anything else.
She just stares "Hey, Mel, are you okay?"
I sigh "No Liz, I don't think I am."
Her eyes widen "What's wrong?"
I look at her and pause because I don't know how to put this. "Well... I think I'm... Pregnant."
Her eyes get wide as her jaw drops then she says "WHAT?! Are you sure?!"
I shake my head "No, I'm not. That's why I said I THINK I am."
"Well fuck school Mel, we gotta go get you a test!"
I roll my eyes "Liz..."
She cuts me off "No! Don't 'Liz' me! We are going NOW!"
"What about your car?"
"I'll get it later, let's go."
I start driving. As she continues asking questions.
"Is it Jake's? How do you feel? Are you okay? How far along are you if you are?"
She just keeps going on and on.
"Liz I don't know a lot. If I am it's Jake's, I feel nauseous, and I don't know." I answer as I try to concentrate on driving.
She sighs "Pull into the nearest drug store."
We pull into Wright's Pharmacy, and I shut off the ignition. I just stare at the door. Lost in thought.
"Mel? Hello? Mel?"
Liz brings me back to reality by waving her hand in my face. "Oh, sorry."
She shakes her head "Come on."
We get out of the car and go inside, we go to the feminine area passing the pads and tampons. We stop right after that at the family planning area. We both just stare. There's so many types of tests don't know which one to get.
"Just get a couple early detection ones." Says Liz.
So I grab two different tests. We walk up to the register and pay. Then walk out the door, get in my car, and head for my house.
"Won't your mom be home?" Liz asks as she notices I'm taking us to my house.
"No, my mom is probably at the hospital with my dad like usual lately."
"Okay." She says as I pull in the driveway.
We rush out of the car, and get inside Lizzie wastes no time at all telling me to drink water and plenty of it. I probably chug like 3 glasses of water before she's satisfied. Then we wait. So while we wait we talk.
"So what are you gonna do if you're pregnant?" Liz asks almost carefully.
I look at her and sigh "I really don't know, my mom would probably be happy, just not happy about who the father is."
"Oh, right. She doesn't know about Jake."
"No, she doesn't."
"Well at least we graduate this year so after that it won't matter."
"But Liz, that doesn't exactly help me now! Cause hello." I wave my hands for dramatic effect. "We're still in school! So it's not like I can tell anyone, not to mention, uh CODY!" Then my blood runs cold. Oh shit. CODY! Liz's eyes widen catching onto my change in shift.
She stops and gets a smile "Wait! Maybe we can use this to our advantage!"
I look at her in question "What do you mean? Use what?"
"You having a boyfriend, duh!"
"I'm not following."
She looks at me as if I'm stupid. Then sighs dramatically.
"You and Cody have sex on homecoming night Friday, then 2 weeks later BOOM! You're knocked up."
"Okay Liz, suppose I do that, then what? Does my child never know his or her, father?"
She shrugs "I guess that would be your choice."
I roll my eyes and then grab the tests, it's time.
I go into the bathroom pee on sticks, and wait the 5 minutes.
In that 5 minutes the only thing that flies through my mind is Jake and how much I still love him despite what he did.
5 minutes passed faster than I could have imagined. But time stopped and I threw up as all I saw appear onto all the tests was a positive.
....Fuck....
