I'm completely drunk. Zendaya and I went to a bar, the last time I drank so much was my twenty-first birthday. First we were in the restaurant, then Zendaya had the idea of going to a bar and here we are, drinking tequila, well I'm drinking tequila while Zendaya is sipping on what is still her first drink of cocktail.
My high heels hurt my feet and I can feel the blisters burning like hell, so I down another shot of tequila. Zendaya laughs, making me grin.
,,Jersey?" Zendaya says a little loudly because it's pretty loud in the bar, there are a few students here celebrating something.
"Hmm." I do, looking away from the students.
,,We should go." She says and takes the bottle of tequila from me. When I wanted to pour myself another one, I should have drunk it from the bottle.
She looks at her phone and puts it back in her purse. Zendaya stands up and helps me get to my feet. The floor under my high heels is sticky from all the alcohol that fell out of the students' glasses.
I wave to the bartender, who waves back with a smile, and Zendaya walks me to the back door where Tom and I always go out when we're there to avoid running into paparazzi.
"I have to pee." I murmur as Tom helps me get into the car.
"Woe betide you if you pee in my car, Jersey." he says with a warning tone.
I'm composing something that seems to amuse Zendaya and Tom. Tom pulls into the driveway and helps me out of the car. He and Zendaya take me to my room, I giggle as I almost trip up the stairs.
"Come on, stop fidgeting and let me take off your shoes." whines Tom.
I stop fidgeting, I look at Zendaya, who is putting a glass of water on the bedside table for me, and I smile at her.
"You both are great!" I say and close my eyes. "Hey, do you think a baby bump would suit me?"
Tom clears his throat, Zendaya takes in a sharp breath and then giggles. "Come on, Tom, she needs to get some sleep," says Zendaya.
I hear the door close and turn to the side, I grab my handbag and dump everything in there onto the bed next to me. I tap the screen of my phone and enter my code because my phone doesn't recognize my face in the dark.

Crying, I shake the memory out of my head. I've been sitting locked in my bathroom for what feels like half an hour, looking at the stick in my hand.
I wanted a baby bump and now I'm getting a baby bump too, but how am I supposed to do that?
Hayden broke up with me because his daughter is his first priority.
How could he have let this happen? I had taken the morning after pill when I forgot my pill in London.
He laughed at the news when I was drunk and said he would like to give me a baby bump. What would he think of it now?
There is a third knock on the bathroom door. "Dear, is everything okay?" Mom asks.
When I came out of my room earlier and just said: "I'll be right back." I stormed out the front door and drove to the drugstore, bought a pregnancy test and then left without a word in my room locked myself in the bathroom and here I am at a loss for what to do.
I pull myself up from the floor and open the door, my mom immediately takes me in her arms, she gently pushes me away from her and wipes the tears from my cheeks. Her eyes land on the floor and she sees the pregnancy test, she bends down and looks at it. Her eyes widen in shock, but then they soften, she strokes my hair back.
