The Test

I stepped outside of my house into the beautiful summer breeze. The trees are back to the lovely way they were before all of the leaves fell off. As I was walking down the street the breeze was in my hair into the trees giving the world a nice vibe. I was walking the street saying 'hi' to the neighbors as I finally reach my destination.

I went down to the shops, had a look around until I had to go into the supermarket. As I reached the market I suddenly got an all sweaty and scared vibe to myself. As I walked in I went down isle 7. I have been dreading this moment all day as I was walking down isle 7. I was walking really slowly until I reached the end of the isle. At the end of this specific isle, I found a section that all was there were all multicolored boxes that every teenage girl prays that they wouldn't have to buy or even look at until they were married.

Pregnancy Test!!!

I was clueless on what box or what test to choose from as there was so many, as I came across one the was 100% accurate as it was advertised on Tv, so I figured that it was the one to go with. I grabbed that box and another one to have two test just so that is will be accurate.

"That will be $10.50," The lady said to me so kindly.

As I took my money out of my purse, I handed the money to the lady. She then gave me change in a kind but disapproving look and way. I tried my best to shake it off but if a stranger gave me that look then what will my friends say and do if I am pregnant. It just instantly hit me. Right now as I am walking home there could be a baby living inside of me.

What will I do? Who is the dad? What will my friends think? What will my parents and my brother think? How can I tell them? What will they think? How will they react? Can I even raise a baby?

All these thoughts are running through my head and I can't keep up. As I was thinking too much I suddenly am standing outside my house. I unlocked the door and Maya wasn't home. Maya is my roommate so that we can always be together. It was quiet. Too quiet. As I go to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water I saw a note on the counter.

"Riley-

My dad is in the hospital in San Fransisco and I just had to go and see him, I'll be back in a couple of days. Love you"-Maya xx

Usually, I am terrified home alone without Maya here because she is like my bodyguard but also my best friend at the same time. I would be so mad at her right now but, at the moment in this situation, I am actually glad that she is gone so that I can get some alone time.

About 10 minutes later I finished my bottle of water and I went to the bathroom. I took the light blue box first. I just stared at it for a while, nothing else, I just stared at it. I can't even believe that I have to take this. I don't want to take this but I have to know if I am pregnant or not. I then took out the other box which was light purple and I took out the stick.

I was reading the instructions carefully so that I didn't do something wrong and go and have to buy another one. I know that I am stressing a bit too much about this because it may not come out positive or not. But I have to know the answer.

"Put the pregnancy test under and start to pee as normal" as it said on the box.

I had to wait for 5 minutes for the result's and let me just say that it was the longest 5 minutes of my life. In those 5 minutes, my life could have changed forever.

I was pacing back and forth, back and forth until I felt sick and I just had to sit down. At this point, I just wanted to freeze time and just pretend that I have a normal life, but that wasn't  happening. But my thought was independent. And then all of the sudden "ding" the timer went off.

I froze and I started to shake and I was getting sweaty. I didn't want to look at it. I didn't want to even pick it up, but I knew I had to. I looked in the mirror before picking the stick up. I picked up the stick and bring it up to my eyes but I was still looking at the mirror. And there is was...
