Chapter 8

Next day

Aaliyah pov

"It's now morning and I woke up next to August in his bed. I kinda felt like I had to throw up or something. I hurried to the bathroom and thats when I threw up right in the toilet."

"Are you ok in there?" August asked.

"Yea I'm good." I lied.

"I had to lie to August that I was fine because I didn't want him to jump to conclusions thinking that I'm pregnant. I ended up texting Taylor to see if she could take me to the doctors to take the test. I slipped on my clothes and headed out the door into the car with Taylor.

"Omg Aaliyah, what if you really are pregnant, what are you going to do?," she asked.

"Idk, I mean, I think we used protection, but idk maybe not, I just don't remember Tay." I said

"Me and Tay are finally at the doctors and we are waiting in the waiting room. I was really scared because I wasn't ready for a baby and because I am very young. My mom is going to kill me if I end up being pregnant."

30 minutes later

Aaliyah pov

"About 30 minutes later the doctors and nurses called me in."

"Aaliyah Westbrooks please follow me in the other room, the nurse said.

"Please go take the test in the bathroom Ms. Westbrooks," the nurse explained.

15 minutes later

Aaliyah pov

"I finally got done taking the test but I didn't look at it, I showed the nurses so they could tell me if it was positive or negative."

"Ms. Westbrooks, it is positive, you are pregnant."

"As soon as she said that, my heart started racing and I didn't know if I was supposed to be happy or sad. Eventually I came to conclusions and I understood that I was too young to be a mother but also that I was going to keep this baby not matter what. I didn't want to put my baby up for adoption when it was born or get an abortion, I was keeping my baby even if my mom would kick me out. I walked out the doctor's office and I walked toward Taylor who had fell asleep."

"Tay wake up." I said

"Huh, oh I'm awake, so are you pregnant or not?" She asked

"Im pregnant." I said in a half cheerful and half sad voice.

"Omg, congrats, Liyah!" She said.

"Thanks." I said

"So are you keeping the baby?" She asked.

"Yea I said, but I need to tell August right away." I said in a rush.

"Ok let's go," she said

1 hour later

Angel pov

"Ok so I am at August's front door and Chresanto is in the car waiting. I then rang the door bell."

"I'll be right there, just hold up right quick," said August

*Opens door*

"Hey, umm, Angel what are you doing you here?" Said August

"Yea, what are you even doing here Angel?" Added Jaden.

"Well I'm here because I got a little surprise for you guys." I said with a smirk.

"Umm, ok what is it?" Asked August.

"This." I said pointing to the door.

"Chresanto burst through the door and started shooting at August and Jaden. Jaden and August fell to the ground bleeding. While me and Chresanto ran off into the car and drove off."

2 hours

Aaliyah pov

"As me and Taylor drove, I got a call stating that August and Jaden were in the hospital because they got shot, and I instantly started crying and Taylor drove fast enough to get us to the hospital in 15 minutes. After that we ran inside the hospital and I saw my mom in tears."

"Hello, I am Doctor Jones, I have good news and bad news for you," said doctor Jones.

"We would like to hear the bad news first please," said my mom.

"Well I'm sorry to have to say this but, your son Jaden didn't make it, he lost a lot of blood and didn't make it to the hospital in time," said doctor Jones.

"Me and my mom instantly burst into tears. I can't believe my brother, Jaden is gone."

"I'm really sorry for your loss, but the good news I have for you is that your boyfriend August survived and he will be in the hospital for a couple of days before he is ready to leave," said doctor Jones leading me and my mom to August's room.

"As we walked into August's room, me and mom sat in the chairs next to his bed. August just laid there unconscious."

"Mom, I have something to tell you." I said nervously.

"What is it sweetie?," she said.

"I'm pregnant." I said

"My mom sat there with a shocked face, but she looked pissed.

"Who is the father?" she asked calmly.

"August." I said

"HOW ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE CARE OF A BABY IF YOU CAN'T EVEN TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, AALIYAH!!!! she yelled.

"Mom I'm sorry I thought we used protection." I cried

"Protection?, you shouldn't be having sex anyways! she yelled.

"I can't deal with this pain anymore, first your brother is dead and now your pregnant. I want you out of my house tomorrow morning. I don't care where you stay at, just know you won't be staying at my house." she said walking out and leaving."

"If my mom had this reaction, what will August's reaction be when I tell him, most importantly how was I going to tell him and will he break up with me or support me?"
