First Love

Chapter 19

I hadn't slept at all the night before. Thinking about Kei's attitude toward our situation and trying to find a solution. I still didn't know what I should do.

'Should I just get an abortion?' The thought sent chills down my spine. I really wanted to have this baby especially that Kei was the father. How would my parents take it, though? My dad would kill me. Maybe mom would support me, but dad wouldn't let her. 'What if my parents make me get an abortion in the US?'

"Ugh," I groaned before getting out of bed.

I went to school alone, that day. I avoided everyone, even Yoko. I felt bad when she came to ask about me with her concerned eyes. But I just couldn't talk to anyone. I couldn't do it.

After we were done with classes, I hurried out. I walked for a long time. I was too agitated to go home. I needed to find a solution, so I walked some more. A few hours later, I finally made it home. The house was quiet.

"I was waiting for you." Kei was sitting in the living room. His eyes were cold and distant.

"Where is everyone?"

"Jiro has practice, and my parents are attending a charity event," he answered me dryly. "Here." He had a piece of paper in his hand. I walked to him and took it cautiously.

"What is this?"

"I found a place, and I made an appointment for tomorrow afternoon." I read over the card he had given me and then I understood.

"I told you I'm not doing it. I will take care of this baby alone if I have to." Kei stared at me intensely for a while.

"Unacceptable," he started. "How do I know that you won't come to me in a few years using the child to get whatever you want?" His words were like a slap to my face. I couldn't believe what he had just said.

"How could you?" I hissed. "I will go back to Miami and you will never hear of me or this child."

"The appointment is at two, so I will take you around one thirty." He had ignored everything that I had said.

"Are you listening to me?" I yelled.

"Are you listening to yourself?" Kei screamed even louder. "Think with your head Samantha. Do you think your parents will help you? What if they don't? What are you going to do then?" His words hit the spot. My tears were unstoppable. My whole body was shaking. I walked to the couch and sat next to him.

"Kei, please don't do this to me. Let's just have this baby. I will do anything your family asks of me." I pleaded while sobbing. His cold fingers caressed my face softly. Then he pushed to his feet.

"I'm sorry," he mumbled and walked away. A rage took a hold of my body.

"Selfish bastard!" I roared. I picked up a plate that was on the coffee table and threw it at him. It missed his head, which was my aim, but it shattered as it hit the wall next to him.

"Murderer!" I cried. Kei's stiff body stopped moving for a moment. He didn't turn but I could see his fists clenching. Then, he stormed out of the room and a few seconds later, I heard the front door slam. I curled on the couch and let my eyes pour all the tears possible.

"Sam... Sam." I opened my eyes to find Jiro wearing an expression I had never seen before. "Are you alright?" I sat up. I had fallen asleep on the couch.

"Yeah." My voice came hoarse.

"Have you eaten? Mom and dad are going to be late tonight so do you want to have dinner... with me?" He eyed me for a moment, he was acting weird, but I didn't have the energy to tell him that. I just nodded because I was starving.
