Did You Just Say Pregnant?!

Chapter 15

-Kate-

The hours turned to days and the days turned to a week. With nothing better for me to do, I moped about my non-existent life I would live in the future. Oh wait, I won't have a future.

Joy(!)

I tried not to think about the next couple of months/years because I would just stress myself out, and I'm in no condition for extra stress. So I live for today and not tomorrow. As stupid as it may sound, it's kind of how I am going to get by.

"Kate!" my mum’s voice echoed up at me. I groaned and crushed the pillow over my head. I hear her thumping up the stairs, the slap of her slippers on the stairs getting closer. A few seconds later the duvet was chucked over my head.

"Kate, get out of bed now, its Saturday and I've had enough of your moping!" mum ordered. I groaned in response. I dragged my feet out of the bed and blearily opened my eyes.

"You look a mess, go on and hop into the shower because we are going out today," mum informed me.

Knowing that arguing with her would only waste my energy, I silently got out of bed and trotted along the hallway and into the bathroom.

After completing the mundane morning tasks I walked downstairs, feeling depressed. In the kitchen, mum and Ryan were silently waiting for me to join them. Their heads looked up in synchronisation as I walked in. I bared a small smile at them, before grabbing the cup of coffee on the counter.

"Hey, that’s mine!" Ryan complained with a pout.

"Mine now!" I reply before taking a sip of the caffeinated bliss.

"Kate, you know the deal, just one small cup a day!” mum scolded.

I scowled in response, pushing the mug away which instantly made Ryan smirk.

“We are going to leave in half an hour to check out the venue for the wedding," mum said.

As soon as she said it, my eyes widened in shock.

The wedding.

My wedding.

I was getting married in a weeks’ time and I FORGOT! Well, actually I didn't forget, I had other things on my mind. Way to forget your own wedding Kate!

"After that we are going to go shopping to buy supplies for you when you go to college," mum continued. The reality of everything hit me, as I realised, that I was getting married in a week and I was attending college a couple of days later. Whilst being pregnant. Going to college while pregnant. The thought rushed through my head, imagine all of the crude comments. I sighed as I realised the hell I was going to be put through.

A hand waved in front of my face, awakening me out of my daydream.

"Kate, come on lets go," Ryan said soothingly, clasping my clammy hand in his soft and warm hand. I got up from the seat, realising I had finished the coffee and two toasts on the plate in front of me, and the crumbs was the only evidence left of the breakfast.

I slowly walked upstairs, and wore a pair of leggings that were black and soft, hugging my waist comfortably. I took a random jumper and hoody out and threw it on top of me. I looked outside of the window, the dreary day made me scramble a scarf out of my closet.

I looked over in the mirror and judged my appearance. I had dark bags under my eyes and my hair was sitting all wrong and sticking up in the wrong directions. Five minutes later, with the help of concealer, a hairband and lots of hair grips, I was ready. I was putting my shoes on when the door behind me opened.
