Pregnant by Matthew Espinosa

~Part 6~

AT SCHOOL

I walked to the school and Matt was in front of me with his head low. He was wearing his black sweatshirt (in media) like always and I ran up to him.

"Hey Matt, um here's your things back." I said handing him the bag that contained all of his things that were left at my house.

He just looked at the bag and then back up at me. He shook his head and ran inside. I sighed and followed him.

I looked around for him and saw him run into the bathroom. I groaned and then walked to my locker and set the bag for him into my locker and grabbed everything I needed for my class.

I walked in and everyone that was in their stared at me until I sat in my desk. I gave them a confused look and they all either turned around or went back to their conversations.

Megan came walking in and she sat next to me. "How's it going with Matt?" She asked me.

I shook my head and shrugged. She patted my back and then turned to the front.

HISTORY TIME

Here goes nothing. Time to sit next to Matt in the class I hate the most.

I walked in and my eyes instantly landed on Matt. He had his hood up and his head was on the desk with his arms in front of him.

I started walking over to my desk with my head slightly lowered when someone tripped me and I fell with my books slamming on the ground and my papers flying everywhere.

Everyone started instantly laughing and my face turned a dark red instantly. I quickly gathered my books when Matt came over and helped me with my papers.

He handed me my papers and I gave him a small "thank you." He nodded slightly and got up and walked back to his desk.

I sighed and got into my desk while looking out the window. There was still some giggles going on in the classroom until the teacher came in then everyone stopped laughing.

My face was still red and I could still feel it burning up. My teacher started talking and I looked at him. I could feel Matt staring at me every so often and I just looked down whenever he did.

"Alright kids be good. I have to go to the office for a little bit. If any of you are misbehaving I swear I will not hesitate to send you to the office. I'll be right back. Be good." He said then walked out.

Matt turned to me and started talking. "Soph, I'm sorry. I want you in my life. I need you in my life. What did I do wrong? What did I do to make you break up with me?" Matt said to me.

Everyone turned around and looked at us. I hate having this much attention on me. "We will talk about this later." I told him looking down.

"No, we'll talk about this now." He said moving his desk closer. He must've noticed everyone staring because he stood up and looked at everyone.

"Mind your own businesses! This doesn't concern any of you! Get a life!" He said angrily and everyone quickly turned around and started talking to their friends.

Matt sat down and looked at me again. "Let's talk. I want answers and not excuses." He said to me.

"I can't give you any answers." I said quietly.

"Why the fuck not. What happened? What did I do!? What did you do!? You don't understand how heartbroken, confused, sad, depressed, and angry I am!" He said.

"I'm sorry. If I told you it would ruin everything."

"Ruin what!? Is it that bad!?!"

The teacher walked in. I sighed in relief. Saved by the teacher. "I'm getting answers later." Matt quietly yelled at me and then moved away from me.

The teacher started teaching again and I almost felt like I wanted to stay in this classroom forever. In the classroom with the teacher I'm safe from Matt. In the hallways and/or anywhere else I'm not.

I can honestly say that I'm scared of Matt right now. He has slapped me before. He promised me he would never hurt me ever again but that could always change. Once an abuser, always an abuser. Right?

The bell rang and I sighed. Now I have to leave the safety of the classroom. Matt didn't get up but as soon as I stood up he stood up too. Oh no.

I grabbed my things and so did he and he followed me up to the front. I went straight to the teacher and I started talking to him. Matt looked at me, shook his head, sighed, and walked out.

After a few minutes my teacher told me to get to my next class or I'll be late and I walked out. Matt was standing right there and I fast walked to my locker.

"Sophia. Stop." He sternly said. Nobody was in the hallway except Matt and I.

I backed up to the lockers and looked down and covered my face. "Please don't hurt me. I'm not telling you because your future is way better than what I'm keeping from you." I said while shaking.

"I can't believe you would think that I would hurt you. Soph, I only hurt you that one time because I was mad and sad. I didn't want you leaving me for someone else. You know how sorry I am. I regret it so much. I won't ever hurt you again." He tucked a piece of hair behind my ear and I brought my hands down. He kissed my forehead and the continued talking. "I want my future to be with you and only you. I want you to be my future. No matter what it is, as long as I have you, it will be alright. I just want to know. Does it involve me?"

I sighed and nodded. "Yes it involves you." The bell rang and I groaned. "Matthew, now we are late!" I said while trying to walk away.

"Let's skip." He said grabbing me again.

I looked down one end of the hallway and to the other end. "Matt, you know we can't skip."

"Just one time. Just this one time. Please."

"Fine." He grabbed my hand and we stopped at my locker and then his. We grabbed our things and ran out. I got into my car and he got into his. We drove to his house since he still wanted to talk and I didn't skip for no reason.

I will talk to him but I will NOT say anything about the pregnancy.
