Mistake

Chapter 3

After school, I decide to go to Joseph's house to see what was wrong this morning. I knock on the door, but there is no answer. I call to, but no answer. Finally after one last knock, his mom opens the door. She looks at me with cold eyes. "What, do you want?" I look at her, half shocked, half hurt. "May I speak to Joseph?" I ask. She narrows her eyes. "No, you may not see my son, ever again. You are just a slut. How could you even try to say that the baby is his? My son would never have sex before marriage. Get off my property, slut." I am shocked and hurt and thinking what the?? I breathe in. "How'd you find out? We were not gonna tell you till March. The baby is Joseph's, He's the only guy that Iv'e ever had, sex with." I shift uncomfortably. She gets ready to same somthing when Joseph is sqeezing in right next to her. "Mom, what's going on?" He asks. "Tell this slut, that the baby is not yours. Tell her."  He looks at me. "I thought we were gonna tell her in 3 months!" I shrug. "I didn't tell her."  "Oh, she didn't have to. I heard her tell you." His mom says coldly. "Okay, mom." He says. "Don't disrespect my girlfriend like that, period. I had sex okay. It wasn't supposed to happen. She was upset about her mom and dad and, it happened. I'm sorry."  His mom looked pained. She walked in the house without a word. I felt terrible. I just wanted to rewind and have everything start all over again. No only did I feel like crap, I think some was about to come out. I ran to a trash can and threw up. Wiping my mouth, I turn back around to apologize to Joseph, but he slammed the door. I stood outside, by myself. My heart feeling like it'd been shot in 2000 pieces. I walked home, kicking rocks and asking myself why I was so stupid. Why did I go to Josephs that day? Why? Why did I break my promise with God? Why?  I grabbed my arm and sqeezed it. I did that when I was really upset. When I got home, mom was gone, and so was the food money. I went to bed hungry and hurt. I cried in my pillow. "I'm sorry God." I whispered. "I'm so sorry."
