18 Weeks

Gregory /Chapter 2 part 2

Ch 2: We rode the bus about 15 minutes east, from downtown and finally arrived to Alex's house. We headed inside and went into her bedroom. Walls were covered in posters of rock bands and pictures of family. The sheets on her bed had swirls of black and pink imprinted on them. Her floor had some unfolded laundry stacked in piles. Despite the room a little messy we had fun time. Alex dyed my hair black with blonde streaks and in return I braided her hair. Greg and I played games and stayed up later laughing at Alex who passed had passed out cold. The night ended I got dressed for bed and fell asleep near the end of the bed while Greg slept in the front room. The more and more Greg and I spent together the harder I crushed on him. I had a feeling he felt the same way. Even though we hung out as friends I questioned myself, Am I falling in love with him. Truth was I did have a intrest in him. He was down to earth and refreshing. It came to a point where I ended it with Corey and begun having a relationship with Gregory. The next few weeks we were inseparable. We always were seen together I stayed over at his mom's place since he helped take care of her. He would take me to school and drop me off. The best part was his mom loved me and welcomed me into the family. the most fun we had together was witnessing Greg's father getting remarried. His family was so warm and welcoming I never wanted to leave. One evening Greg, his mom, and I were sitting at a table at a Mexican resrurant. Something was clearly bothering me so I opened up and told them both, "My period is late. Its usually always on time". To my surprise they were both calm. Since I told Greg everything he knew I had intercourse with Corey and I said that he explained he didn't have any active sperm so pregnancy was not a concern. I was worried. I was not sure if I was pregnant and I was too scared to buy a test so I continued my meal and let the thought slip my mind. We all walked back home after a tasty meal Greg's mom turned to me and said, "If you are indeed pregnant you can stay here with us, we will not turn you away we understand your situation". I felt relieved and happy to hear that. Coreys abuse was to much and I was glad I had a safe and loving place to stay. I spent one last week at the house before returning to my dorm. I had class the next day and I had to wash clothes and put papers together for an early morning class.
