Mistake

Chapter 4: 3 Months later...

I can't decide on if I should tell my mom or not. But I am showing now. The other day my mom said. "Geez, Violet. You sure are getting fat. Lay off the doughnuts." I'm so scared. I decide to tell her tonight. Me and Joseph haven't talked since he broke up with me. He told me things were just tough and he didn't need a girlfriend right now. So I'm in this alone. I should have known this would happen anyway. I'm such a dummy. I eat some cereal and head off to school passing Joseph as fast as possible. He had told me that we could still be friends. and that he would try to help me with the babay but I didn't want to talk to him. If he didn't want to help me, thatbwas cool, I don't need his help. When I got to school, I began getting stares. I silently prayed that no one had noticed yet. Walking down the hallway fast. I run into the principle. "Hi, miss Ducane!" He says. "Hi, Principle Loler."  gulp" "You're getting so big!" He says. "Haha yeah. well I have to go!" I say and practically ran to my locker. Sitting in class, I feel something, that one would describe as a kick. I jump in my seat! Two people stare at me. "The baby." I think to myself. I slide back down into my seat from embarrassment. After school I go home and cook a big dinner for my mom. Hopefully everything goes well. I sit at the table waiting for her to get home from doing God knows what. When she gets, home, I am half asleep. "Hello, what do we have here?" She says rubbing her belly. I watch her eat and for the first time ever she says, "Thanks sweetie." I sit there for a moment. Then I began to speak. "Mom, I'm uh," I hesitate. "Yeah?," She says nodding her head. "I'm pregnant." She looks at me surprised. "YOU ARE WHAT?!" she yells knocked over everything on the table. I get up and back away, she gets up with me. "I'm pregnant, mom." She looks down, her hand in a fist. Then, looks at my belly. "BY WHO?!" I sigh. "Joseph" She curses outloud and stomps over to me. She gets ready to punch me but then stops herself. "How dare you?! You are so stupid! I can't believe how stupid you are Violet! That makes you a...a SLUT!" There's that word again. Tears burn my eyes. "Don't cry now, Violet. Save it for when the kids are gonna make fun of you at school!" She storms up to her room and slams the door. I slide down on the floor and cry, and cry, and cry. God hates me, my mom hates me, my ex boyfriend hates me, Rubie hardly talks to me. I am so done. After this baby is born. I can't be here anymore. I can't!
