Bruises & Pregnancies

♔ L u c y ♔

Someone has cursed me.

I mean, that is the only possible explanation.

As I stretch my limbs while simultaneously cursing whoever it is that's calling me at eight in the freaking morning, I contemplate whether I should kill the caller or rid myself of eternal misery by killing myself.

of course, the latter is never the answer, so maybe the former.

Hmmm...

My murderous thoughts dissipate as I read Jason's name on the caller ID.

"Yes, Jay?" My words come out as a grumble, voice hoarse.

"Lu, I'm so sorry for waking you up, I'll make it up to you later. But, I really need your help, so can you please come by?"

I immediately get up from bed at that.

"What's wrong? Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just, uh...well, just come by and see, okay?"

"I'll be there in fifteen." I inform before hanging up.

Begrudgingly, I drag my feet to the bathroom, performing my morning routine faster than usual.

I eat a bagel and drink a glass of orange juice before zooming out the front door and running to Jay's house.

I don't have to ring the door bell or anything because Jason is outside, waiting for me, the door open behind him.

"Okay," I huff, catching my breath. I kneel down, hands on knees as I breathe in and out heavily. "I'm here. What's wrong?"

"I think Rebecca's pregnant." Jason cuts to the point, and I do a double take.

"Excuse me?"

"Reb, she's been crying all morning because she hasn't gotten her period in a while, and mom isn't home, as usual. I didn't know what to do, Lu." Jason says, despair evident in his voice and on his face. He keeps running his hand through his hair, a nervous habit.

Sighing, I usher him in. "Is she in her room?"

Jason nods, and I take it as a cue to visit Rebecca.

I'm probably the last person she wants to see right now, but it's not like I'm pissing myself to see her, either. I'm only doing this for my brother.

Inside Rebecca's room is the girl herself, face planted on a pillow, the muffled sound of sobbing in the air.

I look at Jason nervously, who shrugs nervously back.

God really could not find a worse mother to curse them with.

"Hey, uh, Rebecca?" I call, hesitantly advancing towards her.

At the sound of my voice, she shoots up. Her face is streaked with mascara, eyes puffy and red, her face the same. Her strawberry blonde hair is disheveled, bun lopsided.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" She snaps, despite her state.

A+ for acting on her hate for me, even with her current situation.

"I called her. She's here to help." Jason explains, voice relaxed.

"Can she give me my period?"
