A knock on the door tore my attention away from the TV I paused the movie I was watching and got up from the couch I looked through the peephole and smiled when I saw my best friend Carol.
I opened the door my smile turning into a frown when I saw her facial expression she had dried up tears and was wearing a large baggy sweatshirt along with some bags at her sides.
"Care" her lips quivered and I pulled her into a hug as she sobbed into my shirt I helped her inside before grabbing her bags that were on the ground.
"Hey C what's wrong?" I asked pulling her hands away from her face "they kicked me out" she sobbed my eyes widened.
"They what! Why?!" I exclaimed she sniffled and wiped her nose "I've been keeping something from them and from you and they found out" I was absolutely confused and I gestured for her to continue.
She slowly stood up and raised her sweatshirt I almost choked on my spit when I saw what was obviously a small baby bump.
"Carol...... you're pregnant?" She pulled the sweatshirt down and nodded slowly "I'm sorry I didn't tell you I thought you wouldn't wanna be here if I did" I shook my head.
"Do you know who the father is?" I asked and she just shook her head.
"I think it happened at that party we went to two weeks ago I remember hooking up with someone but I was drunk" she sniffled.
"Just please don't leave" she whimpered.
"Don't worry I'll always be here C don't worry" I held her in my arms until she cried herself to sleep I went into my room and grabbed a blanket from my closet before coming back to the living room and placing the cover over her.
I grabbed Carol's bags and moved them into my room.
When I turned 18 my parents agreed to buy me a four bedroom apartment they said it was a tradition as soon as your kid turned 18 they would go out on their own.
