2 week later.

I wake up with the feeling to be sick. I jump out of bed and rush to the bathroom. Behind me I feel someone holding my hair and rubbing my back. I sit back against the bathroom wall and look up at Tobias. "Are you okay?" "Yeah. But, I think I'm going to skip school today." "Okay." He picks me up bridal style and puts me on the couch downstairs. I roll over on my side and fall back asleep. When I wake back up I notice my phone, song book, crackers, ginger ale, charger, and bucket are all within reach. I smile to myself and grab my song book. I work on a new song for about an hour before I decide to turn on the TV. I flip through channels but give up on finding anything good and flip over to Netflix. I scroll down till I find 'Flash'. I watch about 4 episodes. Just then I see the gang walk in. Of course Uriah says something. "Man Tris you look like crap." "Thanks." I say sarcastically. I start to sit up until I get a really bad head ache, so I lay back down. Tobias walks over and puts his hand on my shoulder. "How are you feeling?" "Okay. I haven't thrown up anymore but now I have a really bad headache." He gets up and walks into the kitchen then walks back in with Advil. He hands it to me and I swallow it with my ginger ale. He walks over and sits down putting my head in his lap while the gang sits around on the floor and love seat. "So what did you do today?" Slept, worked on my song for the competition, and watched 'Flash'." "You watched 'Flash without me? How far did you get?" Tobias says. "I watched about 4 episodes, so you need to catch up." Just then I get the urge to be sick again. I jump up and run to the bathroom. I finish and everyone looks at me worried. "Are you sure you're okay." Chris says "Yeah. I probably got some stomach bug at school. I'll be fine." "Okay."

~~~~A WEEK LATER~~~~~~~

I start my morning off by being sick again. This has been happening for the past week. But usually after 9:00 I feel fine. I walk back into the room and see Tobias looking at me worriedly. "Tris I think you need to go to the doctors. You have been sick for the past week, something isn't right." "I don't want to go though." He gives me a 'really look'. I sigh. "Fine, if I am still sick by tomorrow after school you can take me." "Ok, are you going to school today or do you want me to get all your homework?" "Can you get me my homework?" He nods his head and starts to get ready. I get on my phone and flip through my calendar. I notice that I am almost a month late. "Crap!" "What's wrong?" "Nothing but, can you leave me your car just in case?" "Yeah. I'll get a ride with Zeke and Shauna." "Thank you." He finishes getting ready and heads out with the gang. When I hear them all pull out I throw on some clothes and jump in Tobias' car. I drive to the closest CVS. I walk in and make my way to the back isle where the pregnancy tests are. I grab 2 boxes and head to check out. The sales lady looks at me with a sympathetic smile and continues to ring them up. I pay for them and head back home. I run into the bathroom and follow the instructions and wait for 5 minutes. While waiting I start pacing around the bathroom. The timer goes off and by heart speeds up. This one little stick will change my life forever. I flip it over.
