18 and Pregnant

Chapter 1

I sit on the bathroom floor, shocked at what I see. Is this really happening ?

My mom calls up to me,"Carley. Dinner is ready." "I'll be right down mom," I call down to her.

I double check my eyes to see if what I see is really there. The pregnancy test says positive. My life is over. My older brother Chance is gonna kill me. I only had sex once and it had to be with his best friend Mark. I was drunk. It was on accident.

I hear the bathroom door squeak open. I scramble around and quickly hide the pregnancy test. "Hurry up Carley. I'm starving. Let's go!" screamed my brother. "Chill out." I say.

I feel tears streaming down my face and my heart starting to race. What will my mom and dad think? I was gonna wait to have sex til' I was married. I felt guilt running through my body.

I walk out the bathroom door and down the stairs to see everybody staring at me. What is there problem? My mom rushed over to me and said in worry,"Hunny are you alright? You look so pale and gloomy." "I'm fine mom," I say in a soft calm voice.

I sit down at the table and just let my head flop on the table. My dad asked,"Are you sure you don't need to go to the doctor?" "I said I'm fine," I exclaimed.

We ate lasagna, which was my absolute favorite, and what I was craving.

My mom looked at Chance and asked,"Chance, how is Mark? Is he doing good?" He said in displeasure,"Still getting drunk and getting girls pregnant. It really makes me mad."

My eyes got wide and I ran to the bathroom acting like I was sick to excuse myself from the table.
