18 and Pregnant

Chapter 9

As soon as he told me he punched Mark in the face, I get a text from an unknown number :

555-6780-

Hey, it's mark. I need to talk to you, AFTER I go to the doctor to get my nose checked out, thanks to your brother.

I text back saying:

It's not my fault he hates you for getting me pregnant. Meet me at Starbucks on Berry Road.

He read my message but didn't text back. I wonder if he'll actually meet me at Starbucks. When I got home I ran upstairs, pulled my hair up in a bun, and put a soccer t-shirt on leaving my boots and leggings on. I went downstairs and got some money off the counter, then walked out the door. As I was getting into my car I heard Chance yell," Where ya going?" Ummm,

what do I tell him? Oh yeah, I'm going to meet Mark about what will happen to us. Ha, I'm not telling him that. "I'm going to Starbucks, and no I'm not getting you anything." I start my car and pull out of the drive way. As I pull into the Starbucks parking lot, I see Mark leaning on his car. He looked hot with his blonde flippy hair and bright blue eyes. I can't help but think he's hot, cause he is. I park right next to him and he escorts me into the coffee shop. We both order , get our drinks, and sit down. He looks at me with concern and says,"are you seriously pregnant?" I nod my head yes and put my head in my hand. He looked me straight in the eyes and said,"I will support you every step of the way. I promise when the baby is born I will support both of you. And tell your brother I'll be looking for him at school . I widen my eyes and say," Don't hurt my big brother! He's important to me. And by supporting me, you WON'T hurt him." He groaned and rolled his eyes. "I'm serious Mark." He said with seriousness," At least make him apologize." Then he stormed to his car and sped off. I sat there and just thought , was he really gonna support me? I sat there for about 30 more minutes just thinking, then left.
