my messed up love life

chapter 2

"What!" I screamed, looking at the nurse in horror.

"Congratulations! The due date is February 8th." The nurse said as she filled out my papers.

I looked at the nurse in horror, waiting for the just kidding but none came. The nurse looked at me questioningly as she handed me my forms.

"Why do you look like your going to puke?" She asked.

I didn't answer her. Instead I looked at my hands and let the tears that were threatening to fall come out.

"Oh dear." the nurse said, coming to sit beside me on the examining table.

"I can't have a baby! I am only 16!" I exclaimed. "My mom is going to kill me!"

"No she won't. I'm sure she will understand." the nurse reassured me.

"You don't know my mom!" I sobbed, putting my head in my hands.

"Your right i don't so the only advice I can give you, is to just flat out tell her. Don't try and hide it from her because that would make the situation worse." She said, as she stood up.

I wiped my nose with my sleeve and nodded. I stood up and grabbed my purse and jacket. I quickly told the nurse thank you and walked out into the parking lot. As I unlocked the car door I thought about how my mom was going to kill me when she found out. As I was thinking of ways to tell my mom, I didn't see the black SUV cut in front of me. I immediately slammed on my brakes, nearly hitting the back of the car.

"Asshole!" I yelled, honking my horn.

The man in front of me honked back, showing me his middle finger.

I growl, turning to the next lane. I passed by him, flicking him off as I turned right down my street. I drove down the street until I reached my driveway. I pulled in and then turned off the engine. I walked nervously to the front porch and slowly unlocked the door. I walked inside dropping my keys on the kitchen counter.

"hello?" I called, walking into the living room.

"in here sweetheart!" my mom yelled from the laundry room.

"hey mom." I said walking into the laundry giving her a hug.

"hey honey, where have you been?" she asked giving me a hug back.

"out." I said shrugging my shoulders.

"any more details, or are you just going to shut me out?" she teased.

I looked at her with a pained expression.

"what?" she asked, setting down the shirt she was folding.

"mom if a tell you something, you have to promise that you wont get mad." I told her seriously.

"it depends on what it is." she said slowly.

"mom." I said giving her a I'm serious look.

"ok, ok." she said putting her hands up in surrender.

"mom, I'm pregnant." I said truthfully.

my mom just stared at me like I had just thrown a live spider at her face.

"your what!" she yelled.

"mom you said you wouldn't get mad!" I exclaimed, tears falling down my face.

my mom sighed, trying to keep herself from blowing up in my face.

"mom I'm sorry! I didn't know this was going to happen!" I sobbed.

"who's the dad?" she asked a little to calmly.

"mason." I said wiping tears from my eyes.

she nodded, turned around and left the room.

"are you mad at me?" I asked following her to the bottom of the stairs.

she didn't answer, she just slowly made her way up the stairs to her room.

"mom!" I sobbed.

no answer. I scream, running to my room in tears and throw myself on my bed. I buried my head in my pillow and cried for god knows how long, before I heard a soft knock on my door.

"come in." I sniffle, sitting up and wiping away the tears on my face.

my mom opens the door and slowly makes her way to the edge of my bed.

"honey." my mom started to say.

"save it." I said. "just get to the point."

"I don't have a point, I just wanted to tell you I was sorry for walking off and not answering you." she says.

"its fine. I'm sorry for what happened." I cried.

"honey you don't need to apologize. I should not have blown up at you like that, because there is no good at yelling at you for something that has happened at that cant be changed." she says pulling me into her lap.

I laid on her shoulder and sighed.

"what am I going to do?" I ask.

"you are going to tell mason what happened for starters." she points out.

"how!" I exclaimed. "what if he doesn't care? what if he doesn't be believe me? what if he wants nothing to do with me or the baby? what if he ignores me?" I am rambling now so I close my mouth and wait for my mom to respond.

"I think he will be a little surprised at first, but think he will get over it and help you through the situation." she says stroking my hair.

"if you say so." I sigh.

**********************************

"hey mason its me, Avery." I say into the phone.

"Oh hey, Avery, what's up?" Mason asks cheerfully.

"Nothing, I was calling to ask if you could possibly meet me somewhere." I say.

"yeah no problem, where at?" he asks casually.

"My house." I say.

"Cool, be there in 10." He chirps.

"ok bye." I say hanging up the phone.

I quickly run to the shower and start the water. after I shower I run to my closet and throw on something decent. just as I was finishing putting on mascara I hear a car pull into my driveway. I run down the stairs and pull open the door right as he was about to knock.

"Hi!" I chirp.

"hey." he smiled.

"please come in, my mom is at the store so she won't be back for a while." I say walking into the living room.

"cool." he says, following me.

"would you like anything?" I ask, turning towards the kitchen.

"no thank you." he says calmly.

"ok." I say smiling as I sit down on the couch.

"so why did you need me to come over?" he asks, sitting down beside me.

"I something very important that I need to talk to you about." I say slowly, turning to look at him.

"ok..." he says looking confused.

"I'm pregnant." I say.
