Chapter 1
I saw the light gleam through the car window and realized what had happened. I removed Luke's warm and naked body from mine. I had to fumble and shift a lot to get my clothes on inside the van but I managed and slipped outside.
I started the fire and sat next to it feeling so guilty about what I did last night. I don't even remember how it happened all I know is that I got into the van with Luke Briggs, he was going to take me home, and seconds later his lips were pressed against mine. His arms comfortably around my waist. I slid my arms up his chest and slid my hands behind his head playing with his hair and then... I think you get the picture.
I sat their wondering what I had been thinking. Why did I let that happen? And most importantly what was I going to do now? I just had sex with Luke Briggs. What am I going to do, pretend it never happened? The more I thought about it the more I realized that was the only think I could do. I knew most girls would die to get into his paints. He probably had one night stands all the time. I wasn't stupid I knew I was just another notch in his bed post.
I saw my best-friend, Naomi walk out of the tent holding her boyfriends hand. They are so cute. She snapped out of it when she realized I was still here. She let go of her boyfriend, Dylan, hand and walked over to me. She grabbed my arm and pulled me away from the warm fire and my delicious coffee.
"What happened? I before I went to bed you were mad about something and Luke offered to take you home." Naomi looked at me in confusion.
We had decided to go on a camping trip right before school resumed in a week. Summer vacation had consisted of us being together almost 24/7.
"I know, I know, something happened" I told her. She could tell I didn't want to talk about it yet, so she didn't press me.
We walked back to the fire and saw Dylan cooking breakfast. We sat down in some fold up camping chairs and started talking.
The camping trip was meant to be just Naomi, her boyfriend (they don't leave each others side), two other girls, and me. But apparently there was some party nearby and I wanted to go home, when suddenly Luke appears out of no where. He hung out for a while and offered to take me home, since his buddies ran off and forgot their car he was gonna dive it to their house anyways.
Before Luke and I left, Dylan and Naomi went to sleep and I wanted to make sure the fire was out. Then that's when it all happened...

"Hey Emily, want to go walk in the water?" Naomi asked me.
"Sure, hold on." I slipped off my shoes and ran toward the water with her.
"We are such dorks." I laughed
"So do you want to tell me what happened?" she asked me pressing on about what happened last night.
"Not really."
"Come on tell me." she pleaded
"Hey can I steal Emily for a sec?" a deep voice asked.
"Ye-ah." Naomi gave me the 'look' and left. I knew she wanted details.
"So..." I said
"Listen, what happened last night never happened." He told me as if it was a mistake.
"Yeah, sure, whatever." I was annoyed with him. He should have just taken my home not make a move. I walked back towards camp. I was done talking to him!

When I reached home I walked in and I instantly felt sick. I hated being home. I don't understand why my aunt and uncle hate me so much. I'm not even kidding they tell me I'm a bother, worthless, and that they hate me, all the time.
My aunt likes to blame me for the death of my mother and father. She says that if I hadn't been so annoying they wouldn't have went on vacation and died in a plane crash.
I didn't think I'm annoying. I'm a well behaved, straight A student. I did what they asked me to do. They didn't care though I was just a unnecessary piece but by taking me in after my parents died they inherited all my parents stuff since they were all the family my parents and I had left.
Anyways.
I walk in the door and head upstairs to my room and set my stuff down. Then I went back downstairs to get something to drink and do my chores.
I had to vacuum the house, do dishes and take out the trash. I drank my glass of water and got to work.
By the time I was done it was almost time for my aunt and uncle to get home which meant I had to go to work. I have a part time job at a coffee shop a few blocks away.
I packed up a little food incase I got hungry and started walking to the coffee shop.
When I arrived stepineing was a mess. Stepineing is the new girl and it was her first day on the job. There is supposed to be two people working at the same time but the other person must have left early. Stephane was covered in coffee, foam, cinnamon, and mocha syrup.
"Oh, my! What happened?" I ask her I felt so bad for her.
" Well.. she left early and th-en, I spilled coffee, an-and-and then the syrup-p squirted-" She was sobbing from humiliation.
I can't believe they would leave this poor girl alone. I exsamed her and let out a little giggle:
"Look at you your a mess, let get you cleaned up." she looked at herself in a mirror attached to the door, to get into the back room and she laughed.
After a few seconds we were both cracking up laughing. When we finally stopped we started again. Eventually we got her cleaned up and into clean clothes.
"Thanks for the help, Emily!" she smiled at me and said.
"Your welcome." I told her
"Ok well if you want someone to talk to I can hang out tell your shift is over. It sucks being here alone" she looked at me.
Her blonde straight hair, blue eyes, and a cute smile. Stephanie goes to my school she's a sofmore, I believe.
"Sure! I'd love if you would stay and chat with me." I told her and the biggest grin appeared on her face.
We chatted through my whole shift. After my shift she had her friend pick her up and drive both of us home.
When I got home it was time to sleep I was exhausted. My aunt and uncle don't know I have a job I keep it a secret. I don't want to tell them because they will take the money I make away from me. I've saved about $2000 dollars so far.

{2 weeks later: first day back to school}
I woke up and I didn't feel so good. All the sudden I have feeling I'm going to puke. I ran to the bathroom. I felt so sick. I knew that I had to go to school, otherwise my aunt would get mad. I would have to just tough it out.
When I got to school I headed straight for my locker and organized it. I took some advil to help with my major headache. I felt dizzy and nauseated all morning.

After a week went by I noticed I had missed my period. It was time to go try to figure out what is going on, also known as talking to Naomi!
