CHAPTER 15

I was at bed. I hadn't gone to school because of "stomach issues". I couldn't stop throwing up and stomachaches wouldn't give me a break. I was a complete mess. I had sent thousands of messages to Roy telling him I was sorry and that I really wanted us to be friends and I had also called Aby a thousand times, leaving her seven voice messages.

But the truth was, that I wasn't sorry. I didn't regret sleeping with Robin. It was the best thing that had ever happened in my life. I only wanted to have my friends back and be with him at the same time.

There was a knock on my door. It opened with the satisfying click of the doorknob and someone entered the room. Robin.

"Oh Robin thank god!" I said weakly. He was carrying a plastic bag, probably from the supermarket.

"Mary, how are you?"

"I'm...a mess." He came near me and gave me a kiss on the lips. "Robin...you can catch my...whatever it is I have..."

"Well, it's worth the risk." He said and kissed me again. I smiled. He touched my hair. "Hey...there's something I wanted to talk about..." I straightened.

"What's wrong?"

"Have you been throwing up lately?"

"Uhm...yes."

"Stomachaches?"

"Yup."

"Oh no...I don't want to worry you but...listen. Remember when we...you know? Ok, we didn't use... protection. And you seem to have the symptoms...you know..." I froze. "Please say something." He began to worry.

"I...I knew we didn't use any protection but I never really thought about it. And...oh my god."

"Me neither. I realized when you told me you were sick and I wanted to talk to you in person." My mouth was still open and I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"Oh my god. This isn't happening. This isn't happening." I kept on whispering to me.

"Here." He said. He took out a pregnancy test from the plastic bag and handed it to me. "I want you to know that I love you, I will support you and I will be with you, no matter what the result is." I began to cry. He hugged me. He kept on hugging me and I kept on crying.

Then I went to the bathroom. I did the test and looked at it. I stared at it for I don't know how much time. Probably, minutes that felt like hours.
