Chapter 8

After that night when I told jake we became a lot closer. He was always texting me making sure I was ok. And most of the time when my dad wasnt home he would sneak in my room through my window and sing to me until I fell asleep. The bullying was actually kind of stopping. I guess everyone was finally getting tired of us. One day we were sitting in history class when I got a note from him. It had cute hearts on it and said

For: You <3

Hey come to the park after school I have a surprise for you! :* kisses!! <3

I smiled. He always signed his notes to me like that. I loved it and I couldn't wait to see what the surprise was.

* * * * * *

The final bell rang and I literally ran to the park. When I was almost there I realized it was harder to run than usual. I shook it off because I was probably just lazy today. I went over to the swings and sat on one. I waited for a few minutes when I got a text from him telling me I had to find him. I ran all over the park. I checked under the slide and by all the swings. The merry go round, the monkey bars, and the bars. I couldn't find him at all.

Jake:)

You checked everywhere but where I am. Come look under the tree.

I smiled at his text. There was a tree on the other side of the park where the basketball court was that we sat under all the time. The grass around it was green and lush. The tree grew pears on it in the summer and we always climbed it and ate them. I ran to the tree and finally saw him. He was at the top of the tree smiling at me.

"Come look at the view," jake said. I gave him a questionable look because the only thing in front of us was the concrete basketball court. I climbed all the way to the top and he sat me in his lap on one of the branches. I looked and saw that written on the basketball court in chalk was

WILL YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND??? :)

I looked up and he was smiling at me. That beautiful smile. The way his eyes sparkled. The way his lips parted when he smiled. I was so caught in my thoughts that I almost didn't hear him talking to me.

"So will you?" he asked me.

"I would love to!" I smiled. I couldn't believe it was finally happening. I had always had dreams of me and him ending up together. I would pray to my mother about it at night. But wow. He jumped down from the tree and caught me when I jumped. He carried me over to the slide and sat me down on it. He turned me around so we were facing each other. He smiled at me and started leaning in. I closed my eyes and my heart started beating harder than it ever had before. I felt his lips touch mine and it was like perfection. The world just went black. He was the only thing I cared about right now. We let go and the sparks were still flying. He smiled at me and his dimples started showing. I smiled back and my one dimple showed. We sat there for a minute when I felt my stomach flip. It started turning and turning when all of a sudden I felt like I was going to puke. I slid down the slide and ran behind the swings. I threw up everything I ate that day. I felt horrible and jake ran over to me and held my hair back. He rubbed my back until it was over and he walked me home. Most of the walk home was silent except him asking me if I was ok. He squeezed my hand every few minutes and when we were finally at my house he let go.

"I would kiss you but I just puked so," I said laughing. He smirked at me and he kissed my cheek, said goodbye and then walked off.

The next day jake walked me to every class and kissed me before we had to leave each other. It was 5th hour and I was sitting in my child development class. The teacher was going on about what could happen if you got pregnant in high school. I started getting that feeling in my stomach again so I asked my teacher to go to the bathroom. I sat on the floor and puked for 5 minutes. I walked back to class and realized that my ankles hurt and I was tired of walking. I sat down in my seat and she started talking about the signs of pregnancy.

•morning sickness

•fatigue

•weight gain

•cravings

•swollen ankles

•back aches

•heart burn

Oh my god, I thought. I've had almost all of these. What if I'm pregnant? How could I be though. Me and Jake aren't that far in our relationship. That's when I realized. The men. They raped me. Im pregnant. Oh my god I'm pregnant.
