Two Weeks Later
After two weeks of the incident I felt nauseous, sick and have been having crazy food cravings. At first I thought they were symptoms of rape but have learned from the internet that their symptoms of pregnancy. I'm not 100% sure yet but I'm really suspicious. I attempted to wear a disguise wrapping my hair in a long, piece of cloth and wearing a long, black gown while filling in my eyebrows to appear like a middle-eastern woman. I grabbed my $20 note stuffed in my money jar and walked to the local drug store, I put on a unrealistic, western accent and said "Can I please have a pregnancy test?" the lady without hesitation sold it to me then she starred close at my face, I looked and covered my face in fright that she would recognize me. Word travels fast around here, if the shop assistant finds out it won't be long before my parents do.
I locked myself in my en-suite, nervously awaiting my results. Then i found myself dosed off thinking about what life would be like if the results were positive I then glimpsed over in fright to see that the results had come in. I nervously read the lines, one if negative, two if positive PANIC ATTACK - My babies dad is a rapist! Abortion isn't an option. My parents will kill me! I kept hovering over all the 'what if's' in my head feeling worried, scared and sick. I pulled the seams on my clothing in agitation and decided to write a plan. Will grow a larger tummy in four months , Parents will find out anyway, Will be kicked out of school and home - Option 1. Tell parents your pregnant, what's the worst that can happen? They beat you till the point you and your baby are dead - good call. Option 2. Runaway, move to a desert or find a job somewhere else and move out. Option 3. Kill yourself
I felt sick, there's a human growing inside of me and all three options seem unfair to myself and the baby so i decided to pick two options and muddle them together, options 1 and 2. I will tell mom and dad but first I'll get a job and find a house. I turned to look at the doorway and saw mom standing there, holding her head in shame with tears pouring down her eyes, "What are people going to say about this?, What is your father going to say about this?" I started crying anxiously then i tried to explain what had happened "I was raped mom" she spat on me then said "You disgusting fornicator" slamming my door shut. Just as I expected I thought to myself. Now my life is shot to hell so i better start packing now. As I filled garments and valuables into my suitcase and grabbed my $119 in my sock drawer and my $37 in the money jar, this should pay for a few days in a really crappy motel and some McDonald's meals.
I quickly ran outside and walked three streets down to see dad flirting with a young, blonde woman. I hid behind the bushes and watched the two of them kiss as they walked into her house and began touching each other inappropriately. It was at that moment I realized that no one was perfect, but what a fucking hypocrite! I continued to roll my suitcase down the street as I saw people I knew starring at me from their window in shock. I just kept pushing, pretending not to notice. Gladys , one of our family friends came outside and scolded me "Hili? Where the hell do you think your going?" I thought to myself no point in telling her, I'll never see her or her fat, cop husband again. "None of your business" i replied "Don't you dare, ever speak to me like that again. You understand me?" she said, i just kept pushing the suitcase. "GREGG" she yelled as a the couch potato came out in his pajamas's. He spotted me with my suitcase, "Let me go get my keys" he said. He got into his police car and drove down the street dragging me then tucking me into the back of his car. "I haven't done anything illegal?" i asked "Well your running away from home and as your parents close friends it's in our best interest to make sure your properly taken care of. Is that clear little miss Hili?" "Crystal...meth", "What was that smart mouthed little Hili?" , "nothing" replied.
Greg brought me home and asked to have a word with my parents, only mom was home..
"We found your daughter, gliding her suitcase down our street, has she always showed signs of disobedience?" Greg said , "I'll see to it that she get's disciplined accordingly Mr Rodney, thanks for your help and make sure you and your wife come over for dinner tomorrow night, I'm cooking apple pie for dessert" , "Mmm *licks lips and rubs belly* See you there Mrs Calvis. That's Southerners for ya!"What were you thinking, dumb little Hili craving some attention?" mom exclaimed, "What are you and daddy going to do to punish me?" i asked, "Nothing because no one will ever find out about this.. you hear me? I'll take you to a clinic in the morning to have it aborted. "WHAT? I thought abortion was wrong??" I asked , "and so is taking off your panties before your wedding night but that never stopped you" she replied. What about Greg? "What if he tells Daddy about me and my suitcase?" , "You went to the shop to buy me some eggs. You hear me? Now no more hovering about. Get to your room and start acting like a decent child. Alright?" I walked up the stairs to my room while sobbing and said "You and dad are hypocrites, aren't you?. Why don't you stop trying to impress people and be more honest like it says in the bible!" Mum looked sad and just walked the other way.
