The Sunset // Suicidal Love Story

Chapter Fourteen

He looks down at my belly and smiles. I can't help but smile either. He wraps me into an embrace. I kiss him and then pull away.
"How long?" He asked.
   "2 1/2 months." I answer.
   "I won't leave you. We will get through this together."
   "I know." I say, "I love you"
   "I love you too."

---------------------

   My depression is a little worse today but telling Austin that I was pregnant, made me feel a little better. We have been trying to figure out how to tell my mom that I'm pregnant. She doesn't come home until later so we have a few hours to brainstorm.
   "I think you should just tell her straight up." Austin suggests.
   "I don't know. I'm just scared. I don't know what she'll do.."
   "You gave me to fall back on if things don't go the way we plan."
   "Thank you."
   "Anything for you" he says with a wink.
   "I'm going to go change and clean my room, you can watch tv or whatever. I want to look good for when my mom comes home" I say.
   "Ok. I'll be here"
I run upstairs and try to find my sundress. I found my yellow sundress and I brush my hair then fix my makeup. I hear a car door shut and I run downstairs.
   My mom walked through the door and the first person she saw was me then met eyes with Austin.
   "Mom. This is Austin."
   "Hi Austin."
   I look at Austin for reassurance and then I walk over to her.
   "You should sit down. I need to talk to you about something." I say.
   She sits down and looks at me like she's saying spit it out.
   "A couple months ago, I met Austin and I instantly fell in love. We hung out a few times and a I missed my period two months in a row so I took a test... It was positive."
   "Are you fucking kidding me?! We don't have the money for this! Get rid of it."
   "No mother. It's not your choice!" I yell.
   "It is in my house." She looked at us angrily, "Either get rid of it or move out. I'm not taking care of you!"
   I tried to hold back my tears and I went upstairs, Austin followed.
   "You can move in with me. I have a two bedroom apartment. We can all stay there." He suggests.
   "Really? Are you sure?"
   "Yes," he says wrapping his arms around me,"I love you both too much."
   I don't give it a second thought and I start packing all my things. I'm glad my mother didn't through anything, that would've been bad. But she is still furious. I'll leave a note and not say anything to her.
   "I'm ready"
