No matter what

Chapter 12

I woke up with a knot in my neck, and stiffly got out of the car. I needed to shower before school, but where am I going to do that.

I drove for a little while until a local homeless shelter came into view, why the hell not they have showers I know it. Walking up to the shelter I felt nervous, what would these people think of me?

I signed in with the lady that greeted me when I walked in and walked toward the showers. After my shower I changed noticing my belly was starting to show a little more.

On the way to school I tried to hide my things so people wouldn't no what happened, not that they'd care.

The school day passed like any other day, maybe things will just stay the same for once.

------------------

It's been a month since I got kicked out I have been living at the shelter, the people there except me unlike the people at school.

People are starting to notice my belly its getting hard to hide the fact, even though my baby belly is still little. My teachers have started asking questions because I'm barley passing any of my classes, I used to get straight A's and now I'm barley pulling C's.

Matt's been trying to get me to go out on more jobs but I can't, my baby is at to much risk being with me as it is. He's been trying to get me to use again but I can't I refuse to harm my child.

Right now I'm sitting in my English class obviously not paying attention. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around facing a very gorgeous boy. He has chocolate brown eyes and olive skin, his hair is short and dark brown. "Sorry I just don't think we've ever actually met?" He asked me I was confused I'd never noticed him before.

"My names Ali, I don't usually talk to people." I said he nodded and said his name was Vincent.

"Maybe we could get together sometime?" Boy did he ask way to many questions.

"I'm not going to sleep with you, despite what you may have heard." He looked shocked.

"I meant to just hang out, I try not to judge people by the rumors others spread about them." He was nice, which seemed kind of odd but I said okay and have him my number saying to text me when he wanted to.

Just then the bell rang and as I went to leave my notebook and papers fell off my desk flying everywhere. Vincent got out of his hair and helped me pick them up.

"Thank you" I said to him

"It's no problem, I can see that you needed the help." He nodded down at my stomach. He actually noticed I was pregnant and didn't run away screaming.

I walked out of the class room and continued with my day. Last period I had art with my favorite teacher, mrs. Aaron had been my teacher all three years I've went here and she always knew when I was upset or in a jam and would cheer me up.

When the bell rang, Mrs. Aaron spoke up.

"Ali can I have a word with you?"

I walked over to her desk.

"What did you need to talk about?" I asked her, she looked at me with sad eyes.

"I know you aren't living at home, I also can see that you're pregnant. Ali I want what's best for you and I know being on your own is not the best choice, so you have a choice I can tell CPS or you can come and stay with me." She was blunt about it.

"I don't want to intrude on your space though." I said

"I'm welcoming you and your child with open arms, and besides it gets lonely sometimes living by myself." She actually wanted me there, somebody wanted me here.

"Okay I'll stay but if you start to regret this please tell me and I can leave." I said, she nodded and gave me her address so I could meet her there later after I collected some more things from my house.

When I arrived at her home I didn't expect such a beautiful home. She let me in and showed me to a bedroom that I could have. It was the perfect size for the baby and I.

After getting settled in. Mrs. Aaron who's first name I learned was Natalie showed me around and we ate dinner.

It was nice being back In a home, but would the baby and I last here or would she actually get tired of having us here.
