I needed to see Luke.I needed to talk to him and inform him about what had been happening to me these few days.But my parents were here and they would not let me go out at night,especially to a place they do not know,to someone they have never met.The only friend of mine that they trusted was Nathan who left me,who gave up our 17 years of friendship just because I chose a life that I enjoyed! I agreed that it was not exactly the perfect life that anyone would have dream of,but I loved that life!I felt free!I felt good!And this life had even enabled me to find the love of my life and made new friends with whom I laughed and went on thrilling adventures.But I guessed nobody would understand,because they had never been in my place.
One thing was sure;tomorrow I was going to talk to Luke!
As soon as I opened my eyes,the only person who came in my mind was Luke and I giggled.He occupied my mind everytime and I hoped I had the same effect on him.I needed to find an excuse to go and meet Luke.
Once I had gotten ready,I climbed downstairs and greeted everyone who was already at the table having breakfast.I quickly joined them,placed a pancake on my place and began eating silently.
But my inside was pricking me as I had not yet found an excuse.
"Umm.Can I go to my friend's place?" I did not point out to anyone because I was not sure whether to address grandma or my mother.I kept my eyes on my pancake who was already half by then.
"Luisa?" Mom raised an eyebrow and I nodded.She threw a look at my father who nodded.
"Okay!But do not stick there for too long!"Mom said!I was shocked,confused!Never in my whole lifetime had my mother accepted that I go out alone and definitely not to a place that she did not know!
What was wrong with her? Yesterday she seemed all angry that I had gone to 'Luisa's' place and now she agreed so easily.
Definitely something was not going on right! But what did it do to me? I had got what I wanted.I was going to meet Luke.
After finishing my pancake,I quickly wiped off my mouth and got up.I was feeling quite heavy those days.I thought I should go on a diet and then remembered about the pregnancy thing.Oh no!All the signs were pointing at me being pregnant.I needed to confirm that as soon as possible.
I climbed to my room,picked up the last dollars that were lying in my drawers and ran out.
On my way,I got into John's Sup and bought myself a pregnancy test.I had to face the awkward look of the same cashier who had served me the previous day,the day I had first met Luke.I just grinned at him.His looks had seriously deteriorated.I felt foolish when I realized that I had a crush on him.
I quickly grabbed the pregnancy test and the dollars he gave me and dashed outside.
I was taking my time in walking though I was in a hurry but when I had noticed that there was someone in a black suit following me,I began to speed up.
I even had to run on another road to get rid of that stalker before going back on the right road and entered the territory.
I could feel that they were quite in tension.When I said 'Hello' everyone was startled up.Probably Diego had sent a new mission.I walked to Luke and whispered to him that we needed to talk in private.
He gently pushed me in his room and kissed me like a starving kid.If I had told you that it had been only one night that we were not together,you would not have believe me.
I had to push him away so that his lips could leave mine.
"I have to tell you something important!" He groaned."I am serious!"
"Okay.I am serious too!Tell me!"He said dragging me to sit on the bed besides him.
"Luke!I think I'm pregnant!"I said it in one breath and his eyes widened.
"Wait what?"He looked like my mother when she got to know that my dad had lost a deal.I nodded."I heard it right?You're pregnant?And it is from me?"He asked still in shock.
"No!Nick got me pregnant!We hooked up when you were deeply asleep!" I rolled my eyes."Of course it's going to be from you asshole!"
He went silent.
"Luke?"
"Hmm!"He said looking straight at the ground.
"You're okay?"I asked and I knew it was a foolish question.
"Lisa!You just told me that You think you are expecting a child from me.I am 19 and you are 17!All I do as a living is stealing and you come from a straight high class family!Now tell me.Am I supposed to be alright?"
He held me by my arms and his eyes were deeply fixed in mine.
"I am sorry!But I am not sure.You are over reacting!It may not be true!Relax!I bought a pregnancy test!"
He looked at me then gestured at the corner of his room where there was curtains
I moved up and treaded there.I took off my pants,sat on the stool and placed the tip in my urine flow as instructed on the box.
"Is it done?"Luke asked.
"No!Be patient!This thing contain our future!"
I could hear him walking round and round.
After about ten minutes later,I took out the tip and gathered all te courage in my body to look at it.
"Luke!!!"I shouted."It is positive!I am pregnant!"
There was a moment of utter silence as I put on my pants and walked from the corner with the positive pregnancy test in my hand.
Luke was sitting on the edge of his bed.His head was down and his hands were burried in his hairs.I walked and sat next to him,struggling whether to touch his shoulders or not.
Then abruptly he twisted around and hugged me.He pressed me hard against him,as if he was using all the force in his body.
"Luke.I am sufffocating!"I managed to say.
He let go but quickly grabbed my face.I could see tears in the border of his eyes.
"Lisa!There's my child growing in you.A child I am sure I will not be able to grow up.I am sorry but you cannot have this child!"
I was shocked! If I was ready to give birth to this child although I knew that I would have to face the pressure of my parents,then how could he reject our baby having no rules and regulations to abide by?
If he was not ready to have this baby,I was also not sure that bringing this child in this world would be a good thing.It could destroy my future!
"Lisa!"Luke exclaimed and I jumped back to reality.
"Sure!You're right!I will not have this baby!I am sure I can get rid of it.It is still small!"
"Thank you baby!Thank you for understanding! I love you."Luke kissed me but I was too emotional at that time to kiss him back.
I moved away from him.
"I need to go!My parents are back.They will have suspicions if I stay here for too long."
"Yeah.Oka-ay!When are you coming back?"
"Don't know.Maybe tomorrow."
"I will miss you!"
I nodded before running away from the territory.
Author's note:
Lisa's pregnant and Luke does not want the baby.Will Lisa tell her parents or will she get rid of the foetus?
Take care
