Forgetting You

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

- 1 week later -

I sit in the waiting room at the hospital. I sit my elbows on my knees as my foot taps up and down. Each time I blink, images of josh and I the day we 'did it' appear in my mind. I smile at the thought but I soon sadden when I think about what happened after.

I slouch back in my chair.

"Don't worry Elissa, he will show."

Reassures mum.

"I don't know but I hope you're right."

I say.

We wait another hour in the waiting room until I'm called in.

I wait a few seconds before standing but mum pulls on my shoulder

"He's not coming."

I turn my head and walk in, the doctor closing the door behind us. I lay on the bed and lift up my shirt revealing my bump.

"Elissa, 5 months. Exciting."

"Yeah."

Is all I say.

"Where's the father?"

He asks.

"He's not coming."

I say sadly.

He sighs as he squeezes the cream on me.

I shiver.

I look at the monitor waiting for the doctor to point out my baby to me.

It takes a few moments.

"Ahh there she is."

"It's a girl?"

I ask.

"Oh sorry. Did you not want to know that?"

He appologises.

"It's fine."

I tell him.

"Would you like a copy?"

"Yes please."

I say smiling.

"Ok. Just one more thing. How old are you and do you have a job?"

He asks.

"I'm 17 and no."

I say casually.

He writes on his clip board and say

"That should just about do it."

We gather our stuff and leave.

When mum and I get home I walk over to Josh's.

I knock on his door and josh answers.

"If you don't want to be apart of it than you should have just said so."

"Was the appointment today?"

He asks innocently.

"Yes!"

I yell.

"I'm sooo sorry. I wanted to come."

He says.

"Well you didn't. Here's a picture of the ultrasound, it's a girl. You have one last chance. Do you want to be in her life?"

I ask. I sound like a broken record.

He takes the picture out of my hand and looks at it.

I look at his facial expression, it's normal and then I see a tear in his eye.

I wait for his answer, josh looks up into my eyes and I look back.

Before I know it, Josh's lips are on mine.

I pull apart.

"Does that mean you want to be in her life?"

"Of course I do. I don't know why I doubted myself in the first place."

He says placing his hand on my check and gently moving his thumb.

I pull josh into a hug and say

"I love you."

"I love you too."

He says.

- the next day at school -

Josh and I walk through the gates at school. This is the first time I've worn clothing that shows off my bump.

Everyone stares at me and josh.

I hear people whisper

"Slut."

"How can she be a slut when she's only been with someone once."

Retorts josh.

"She just happened to get pregnant."

Says the head cheerleader.

"Unlucky."

I never thought she would stick up for me, she smiles as I walk past.

Mat walks over to us and says

"You guys made up."

"Yeah."

Is all I say.
