Romance In Blue Jeans

Chapter 4

      Footsteps echoed through my room where my feet carried me to the bathroom and falling on my knees, everything I ate the night before leaving my body in waves until sitting on the floor in front of the toilet bowl groaning. Once the puking finally ceased, I reached up flushing the toilet while standing up and walking to the sink while staring at my almost pale face reaching forward to turn on the water taking a few minutes to clean my mouth out before turning to leave my room. "Are you sure you're feeling, okay?" Katie asked from my bed with a concerned look on her face watching me walk around the room collecting clothes to change into.

 Pulling the sweatshirt off my body I changed into a grey button up with a pair of blue jean shorts that I had to work with the little bit of weight I have been gaining around the stomach area, it made me look bloated. "Yeah, it's just the flu" I replied looking back at her. "Are you sure? that sounded pretty violent" she replied following after me down the stair and into the living room where Seth sat on the couch watching the weather channel "yeah it will pass soon" I say plopping down next to my brother that kept his attention on the TV but spoke up "what will pass?". 

Exchanging looks with Katie who was quick to reply beating me to the punch "Jenna over here has been puking non-stop for the last week" she said caching Seth's full attention as he looked away from the TV to me with a small, concerned frown "are you okay" he asked eyeing me. "I'm fine it's just a cold" I replied once again wanting out of this topic, Seth looked me up and down studying me before nodding, his attention going back at the weather channel ending the conversation. Looking over my shoulder to the kitchen where plates of freshly baked food laid out on the table caught my attention guiding me to the food, I grabbed a roll taking a bite of the goodness. "Jenna" Katie called out lightly when she found me in the kitchen over the food with a roll halfway in my mouth "hm?" I replied back finishing the roll before putting my attention on her. 

She looked over her shoulder to see if any of my family was close before turning back to me with a look on her face "did you and Ryan do anything the night of the barn party when you snuck off?" she asked crossing her arms, a thing she did when she was serious. Stopping my movements to process what she just asked before nodding as I motioned for her to follow me back up to my room where I told her about the night of the barn party as she soaked up the things I told her. 

"Wait so he doesn't remember anything after you both left the party?" she asked looking up at me while I paced back and forth in a circle around the room to the point where my feet left trail marks in the carpet "I asked, he only remembered going to the party and drinking" I choked out. Katie sighed while shaking her head "I'm sorry Jenna but I have to ask this... did you take a pregnancy test?" she said watching my expressions change scrambling through my thoughts of the date "no" I answered truthfully looking back at her "when was your last period?" Katie questioned while pulling her phone out to check the date then it clicked "I haven't... it hasn't come yet" I said as it settled in clinching my hands into my shirt. Standing up from my bed Katie slipped on her scandals with her phone in her hand texting furiously before pressing send and slipping it in her phone walking towards me with a small smile. 

"Okay here is what we are going to do Jenna... I will grab my keys, and we are heading to the store to grab a test to be sure, so we don't freak out before knowing the full picture" Katie rubbed my arms stepping back to grab her bag off my bed. 

Silently walking down, the stairs we didn't say a word and I was thankful for that as I tried to calm the storm going on in my head "Jenna?" my mom called out from the kitchen, stopping next to the opening I peeked into the room at her "yeah?" I said watching her moving things around in the cabinet shooting a look at me over her shoulder before going back to the task she was working on. "Are you heading out? If you are can you grab a jug a milk, we just ran out" mom said pulling out a can of pea's "yeah be back in ten" I announced while continuing to the front door where Katie walked out to start her truck.
