Chapter 2: Consequences

Chapter 2: Consequences

It's been about 3 months since the party and final exams are closing in. I heard from Rai that the day after the party Cavien was freaking out because he figured he took some girls virginity at the party. I never filled in either of them that it was me and they gave up after a couple of weeks. Random people crashed my parties all the time so it could have been anyone.

Now I wished I could forget that night completely and I would have too since I had no memory about it. But I had a very real reminder growing inside me. Yep I'm pregnant with my best friends twin's baby. Yeah mom and dad don't know yet and I am so not planning on telling them. Since school will be over in 2 weeks after exams I'm planning on telling my parents that I want to go live with Gabe. My older brother for my last year of high school. Gabe lives in a small town in Texas and has been wanting to see me for a while. Plus he won't judge me because he's the only one who knew that my player status is fake.

I haven't told Gabe yet because I didn't want to tell him now and suffer a miscarriage and have him worry over nothing. But I've hit the 3 month mark meaning that I won't have a miscarriage now. I'm not telling anybody but Gabe about my baby and I'm definitely not telling anyone who the father is.

"Ms. Aaron can you please answer the question," Mr. Vermont asked angrily.

"Sorry I wasn't listening," I said.

"Ms. Aaron you do realize finals are in 2 weeks and that if you fail them there is a good chance you fail my chance do you not?" he practically screamed at me.

"Sorry Mr. Vermont the stress of finals is getting to me and I drifted off for a minute," I said.

He just went back to teaching the lesson. Well more like going over the reviews. If I don't pass this exam my parents definitely won't let me go live with Gabe and if that happens they'll find out that their 17 year old daughter is pregnant.

The rest of the time before the exams went quickly. Craig kept trying to find out what was bothering me and Cavien just wasn't himself since the party. I guess he feels guilty about it even though he doesn't know who it was. Shira and Craig are still dating to everyones surprise.

Finally exams came and went and I passed all of them with flying colors it was finally time to ask mom and dad. They were home for the first week of the summer and that's it.

"Mom dad," I asked at supper after we received the results.

"Yes Belphina," mom asked.

"I want to go live with Gabe for senior year," I stated.

"Why honey? I thought you liked it here?" dad asked.

"I do it's just I miss Gabe and because of your jobs your barley around. Plus Shira and Craig spend more time with each other then me now that their dating," I explained.

"Well if it's what you want sweetheart. You can I know Gabriel will be happy," mom replied.

"When do you want to leave?"

"I'll pack and be ready to leave on the same day you guys leave to go back to New York."

I spent the week talking with Craig and Shira although I hadn't told them yet. I was even somewhat civil to Cavien. I also spent it packing. On the final day the 3 of us were sitting in Rai's kitchen.

"Rai. Shira. I have something important to tell you," I said seriously.

"OMG you finally found someone didn't you. I knew you were getting distant lately," Shi squealed.

"No I'm leaving tomorrow to go live with Gabe," I said quickly.

"What? How long have you known?" Rai asked.

"I've been planning to since before the finals. My parents agreed a week ago. I just didn't want us to spend my last week here moping around," I answered. It was true, but it also meant they'd ask less questions.

"What so you were only planning on telling them," Cavien said from the doorway.

"Why do you care?" I snapped at him.

"Because even though I messed up. We used to be best friends," he replied.

"Messed up. You call what you did messing up. Because of you I have a permanent scar on my leg maybe if you hadn't left me there to rot the cut wouldn't have got so bad before I made it to a hospital," I yelled at him without realizing what I was saying.

"What are you 2 talking about?" Rai asked looking between us.

"Nothing Craig. Look I have to go I'm leaving bright and early tomorrow morning," I said running out. Not even bothering to say goodbye to them.

I can't believe I told them about my scar. Oh well it's not like they can ask about it I won't be here. Plus I was planning on cutting everybody out even my parents after I moved. I can't let them find out the truth. That's the last thing I had on my mind before I drifted off to sleep.
