A life to Remember

Microwave Dinner

I got up, grabbed the tests, and put them back in the box. We both walked back to the car.

"So, what do you want to do?"she asked, breaking the silence.

"Honestly, I have no clue."

"When are you gonna tell dallas."

"Soon."

"Do you want me to drive you home."

"Yeah. I guess."

We drove into my drive way and she gave me a big hug.

"You can do this Trinaty. You're strong."

"Thanks Chloe."

I waved goodbye as she pulled out of the driveway.

I grabbed my key from the backpack and opened the door. The house didn't smell like alcohol so that meant my dad wasn't home. Which was probably a good thing, I don't think I could deal with him right now, I have more important things on my mind.
I walked upstairs to my room and put my backpack on the floor. I lay in my bed and just thought. I thought of what I was gonna tell Dallas and my dad. How I was gonna deal with school and when I "start showing." And how people are gonna be mean and call me either "slut" or "whore". I figured that. And what I thought about most is how I'm gonna raise this baby.

I went thru the options in my head
I could have a abortion, but I don't think I could live with myself if I killed an innocent baby.
Then I thought about adoption, but that was already out of the question, I grew up without being with my birth mother, and I didn't want that for my child.

I got off the bed and walked over to my dresser. I looked in the mirror at my stomach. It was going to get real big real fast.

I just couldn't believe that there was something growing inside of me. It's such a weird feeling, it's pretty indescribable.

I decided it would be only fair to tell Dallas, so I sent him a text.

*can you meet me 2morrow b4 school? It's really important.trinaty107*

It didn't take him long at all to respond.

*sure. See you then love._dallas*

I went downstairs and realized I was starving, I hadn't eaten all day. I didn't know when my dad was going to be home so I just grabbed out a microwave dinner from the fridge and stuck it in the microwave.

I ate it and washed the dishes, I cleaned up a puddle of beer on the floor next to the couch that was pretty disgusting.

I took a shower. Most of the time was just standing in the shower having the water run over my head, just thinking.

I got out and dried off. I didn't bother drying my hair. I was so tired I just crawled into bed and slept. It was only 6:00 but I didn't care.

I woke up about an hour later to a slamming door.

"Trinaty Avaya Hosler get your sorry ass down here right now!"
