Turn On

Chapter 8 - Judgement

- April's POV -

As I walk through the school doors towards the principal's office, I can feel every one rejecting me or judging me for getting pregnant. 'On the bright side this is the most attention you've ever gotten at school' I joke to myself trying to think of the advantages or bright parts of this part of my life. Christian has finally started to push back the teasing me to only teasing me when I would get it as a joke. Bella has pulled him into his place and I know for a fact that if they stay together he might turn out to be a decent guy but for now he was still a dickhead but nowhere near as bad as what he was.

As I walk through the doors to the principal's office, he's already standing there waiting for me. He greets me with a simple nod than pushes the door to his office open and waits for me to walk through. "Take a sit Miss Summers," he says sternly. "What is it that you need to talk to me about?"

"Well are, in about a month or so I won't be coming to school anymore and I was wondering that if Logan could take home any assignments for me, so that I don't miss any school work and if my teachers were able to send me or give Logan or Georgia any work that would be useful for me to do at home than I would give them the work back, to hand up for me?" I asked hoping that this will help me to stay in school whilst being pregnant and not have to deal with everyone else.

Mr Watson, gave me a surprised look. He knows that I'm pregnant and everything but I don't think he expected me to still want to have school work. "Argh... Miss Summers are you sure you still want school work, when you're at 7-9 months pregnant? I mean I know you can do the work and get it all done but won't-"

"I know but I don't want to drop out of school and I like to do work, it keeps me busy. Well for a while" I interrupt him.

"Well if you're sure?" he says intensively

"I'm sure" I say back quickly

"Alright, then. I'll make sure that someone is able to get you your work, but it's your responsibility to make sure it gets handed up," he begins "but April if it gets too much for you than let me know and I'll make sure that you get the work when able to get it. Okay?" he finishes

"Okay" I say, getting up to leave.

"Oh and congratulations" he says

"Thank you" I say walking out the door.

It's 5pm and Georgia and I are stuck in the back of mum's car and on our way to Gran and Pa's house for dinner. Jace went back to university in Adelaide, so he's off the hook (lucky duck). Georgia and I on the other hand have to deal with the rest of the family. I can't wait to see everyone again and they notice that I'm now pregnant. They all said that out of all of us grandkids it would be our slutty cousin Cassie to get pregnant but no it was me the lest expected of all, the nerd of the grandkids.

As we pull up in the driveway my gran comes out and gives us a big hug. "Oh it's so great to see you girls again, where's Jace?" she says

"He had to go back to uni, mum" my mother said. Gran just shrugged it off and led us inside to say hi to the rest of the family.

"Well, well look who got fucked up," Cassie began from her spot on the couch next to Ben. "And you all thought it would be me to get pregnant as a teenager" she finished smugly.

"Why don't you just shut your fucking mouth" Ben said, taking everyone by surprise.

"What's your problem, Ben? Oh that's right your girlfriend just dumped you for your best friend" Cassie said back to her twin brother.

"You're a fucking bitch, you know that Cass" he said back to her storming out of the room.

"Cassie go apologise to your brother, now" Gran said raising her voice, at her granddaughter. Cassie and Ben's parents had died six years ago in a car crash and had been living with Gran and Pa ever since.

"No" she cried "he's being a dick and doesn't deserve it."

"Wow, you haven't changed a bit, have you?" I said to her "still the same self-caring, low-life little bitch you were the last time I saw you" I continue. Cassie, Georgia, Gran, Mum and Dad (who just walked in the room) all gave me a look of shock. "I'll go see how his doing, Gran" I say walking off towards Ben's room.

- Logan's POV -

I went to April's house earlier, but she wasn't home. I just sent her a text asking where she was. She just replied that saying that she was at her Gran's house for dinner and is currently dealing with her cousins. Well that explains her situation perfectly. I decide to call Christian and see what he was doing.

The phone rings for a bit before going to message bank. He's never available when I need him but I have to be available when he needs me and all he usually needs me for is to brag to someone about the girl he just fucked. Which is a lot. Seriously if Christian was a girl he'd be demined a major slut. I don't know how Bella is able to put up with him. She deserves someone better than him and also someone that will take care of her.

I got a text from April at about 10 o'clock and she said that they had finally gotten home from their dinner. I sent her back a short text saying I'd be over there soon, so that's where I am now standing outside her bedroom window waiting for her to open it so I could crawl in. Her parents don't like anyone coming into their house after 10pm so I have to sneak in. with tomorrow being Saturday and me having footy, I decided that I would just spend the night, so I brought my footy clothes with me. "April" I whispered "open up".

"Alright come on up" she said gesturing for me to climb up.

As I reached the top she gave me a quick look and just signalled towards the bag on my back. "I have footy tomorrow and thought it would be easier if I stayed the night. I mean what's the worst thing I could do, get you pregnant. Well I already did that" I say trying to stay quiet.

"Fine, but you can't come down for breakfast you'll have to climb down the window than come back in through the front door if you want breakfast" she says walking over to lock the door than crawling into bed.

I carefully place my bag on the floor. Throwing my top off and grabbing a pair of sweats to sleep in. April was already half asleep and curled up in a ball. I slide my arm around her waist and curl up behind her.

"I love you, April" I whisper in her ear.

"I love you too" she says softly before drifting off to sleep in my arms.
