Chapter 28 ~ The Test

Aaliyah

I loved living with Ashley, he was patient and truly wasn’t as dirty as people over dramatize, or maybe I had finally tamed this dirty mustang. Either way he was a true gentleman, but knew how to have fun.

Ashley and I had been living by ourselves getting minimal visits but we enjoyed living the rockstar lifestyle. He would take me to a club occasionally, and we’d sleep in or get busy rarely and safely now, but he made me feel like a princess, and I had never been happier in my life.

Maggie and Tokyo with Killer had all become best friends, and were inseverable although it took quite a long time and a long night of just cruising to see them all laying on the couch together in one big ball of fur, it was adorable.

We would get visits from Andy and Juliet ever sense Juliet’s tour with Automatic Loveletter got off tour, I had befriended Juliet once again and we were all calm and cool. Juliet even apologized for being rude and inconsiderate and said that she shouldn’t have just guessed I was hitting on Andy, she and Andy could see how truly in love I was with my Outlaw.

Everything was perfect.

Until…

I sat with my hair in a ponytail, my head hovered above the toilet bowl, with Juliet at my side, Andy and Ashley sat downstairs in the living room nervously.

“Oh Ali…” Juliet frowned, “This is so sad! How could you get so sick?”

“I-I don’t know…” I say coughing up chunks –of what I did not want to know- and spat them out angrily.

After a few minutes of silence and my heavy breathing, Juliet spoke once more.

“Have you and Ashley been…” I got what Juliet was inferring and nodded nervously.

“And your… you know, has it skipped?” Juliet asked.

After thinking about the symptoms she was describing and what they could lead up to, I began crying, “Yes Juliet, I-I can’t be!”

“Want me to go get you a test?” Juliet asked rubbing my back tenderly as I sobbed.

“Please do, I can’t be pregnant, I’m not ready.” I hiccup.

Juliet nodded. “Do you think you’re gonna throw up more?” She asked.

“No, I’m good, but do not tell Ashley, Andy, or anybody else that knows me alright? It’s just between you and me Julie…” I say looking up into her eyes pleadingly.

Juliet sighed and nodded. “We’ll just see if it’s true or not.”

I wiped my mouth with a wipe and flushed the toilet, standing up beside Juliet and walking out, looking over the upstairs banister into the living room below at the two men sitting there in silence and watching a cartoon of some sort with a cat and a dog.

We both walked down the stairs, Ashley standing up and rushing over to me. “Hug?” he asked seeing my solemn face.

I nodded and opened my arms, he came and embraced me not squeezing too hard or lifting me up, just a tender hug letting me know that he was here for me.

“In sickness and in health, eh Purdy?” I ask sheepishly and look up at him with my watery eyes, meeting his warm gentle brown ones.

“Mhm.” He smiled and blushed.

If I truly was pregnant, what would Ashley do to me? Cast me out to the streets? Send me back to my mother? I had these negative thoughts rolling in my head, one especially; is Ashley the father?

Ever sense Vegas I’d been trying to remember what I’d done, I remember drinking with Andy, and hazily afterword’s I remember getting up from a bed, putting clothes back on, and going to find Ashley, all was fuzzy when I tried to picture it, but I thought the worst.

I hoped that I truly knew Ashley well enough that if I was, he’d be the gentleman he was and stick by me and raise a child, and maybe get married before it was born, but we didn’t yet know if it was true.

As I came back to reality and pulled away from the long hug Juliet was asking what treats everyone wanted from the gas station that she and I were going to get us some treats and soda-pop to watch a movie.

“Grab some donuts.” Ashley said.

“And some Monster!” Andy added with a smirk of a smile on his face.

“I’ll grab some candy.” Juliet added

“Sounds good with me, let’s roll Juliet.” I force a smile and peck Ashley on the cheek bye and walk out to Ashley’s black challenger.

“You’re driving.” I say tossing the keys to Juliet, my stomach a-flutter with butterflies and thoughts rolling through my head as I stumbled to the car.

Once inside I bit my lip and played with my bangs nervously. Juliet placed a dainty hand on my knee and I looked up at her concerned face.

“All will be okay Aaliyah, I won’t let anything bad come to you, and neither will Ash, I know it.” She said softly.

I nodded, “Thank you Juliet, thank you.”

And with that, we set off to find out the truth.

“Just do it here!” Juliet whispered after they had bought the goodies, a box of dohnuts, a 12 pack of Pepsi, with a 6-pack of monster, along with many candy bars and the out-of-place box with the words of dread written on them.

1 Pregnancy Test

I trembled just looking at it, and dreading the result of a green or orange light flashing up at me teasingly.

I bit my lip once more and glanced at the 7-11 bathrooms. “Fine.” I say and snatch the box out of the bag and storm to the bathrooms.

“I’ll be in the car!” Juliet calls back, anxiety in her voice as she exits the convenience store with the bell sounding after her.

I sigh and lock myself in a stall and do my business, closing my eyes, dreading what the little machine will say.

When I finally open my eyes I see a green light flashing up at me and my stomach, and my heart fall.

I’m pregnant.

But the real question was…

Who’s the father?
