Worth the Payne

*Kyla’s POV*

“I’m pregnant” I told my boyfriend Joel. I had a slight smile on my face but I hid it because otherwise I would start screaming and jumping around.

“WHAT?!?!” Joel screamed at me.

I nodded at him still with a smile.

“You can’t be pregnant, I don’t need this. I can’t even support myself let alone a baby!” He yelled at me again. I couldn’t believe his reaction...I thought he would be happy.

“We can make this work.” I said to him to try and calm him down.

“No it can’t, how can I love it when I don’t even love you? Get rid of it tomorrow!” He screamed at me again.

“Wait...wh-what?” I questioned in disbelief.

“I was going to break up with you tonight....I’ve been seeing someone else, that’s why you need to get rid of this baby before I do it for you!” He screamed again at me.

I shook my head at him but that didn’t do anything. He grabbed my arm and pulled me up then he punched me in the face causing me to fall instantly to the ground. I rolled and looked at him my left hand holding my red cheek. I looked at him in shock and cowered away as he came near me. I looked at him helplessly as his tall broad figure towered over me.

“You have one week to get rid of that thing before I do. We are through, now get out of my house and don’t come back” He said sternly as he pointed out towards his door. I scampered to his door and then used the doorway to help myself up. I grabbed my phone and ran out the door. It was late so I ran home.  When I got to the familiar house I knocked on the door which opened a minute later. Standing in front of me was my best friend since we were four with her dark wavy locks.

“Hi Nikita” I said with the tears rushing down my cheek cooling the red mark.

“Kyla what the hell happened?” She said seeing the tears and giving me a hug.

She pulled me inside and sat me down on her couch and told her everything. She just held me and cried.

“He doesn’t love me or this baby! What am I going to do? I’m 19 with a baby on the way.” I sobbed. Ok pause there for a second let me explain myself for a second.

Hi I’m Kyla Young. I’m 19 and have a baby on the way. The dude who got me pregnant and just dumped me, well he’s Joel. We have been dating for three years well not anymore. My dad left me and my mum when I was 2 and my mum died just recently. I have no family here in England, they all live in Australia. I inherited a lot of money from my mum and my Grandma because we are a well off family but I need some time to buy a house so I am moving in with Nikita for a few weeks. Nikita and I have known each other since we were 4 and met at kindy. Well that’s enough about me let’s get back to the story.

I eventually fell asleep but when I woke up I didn’t feel any better. I just wanted to.....actually I don’t even know. I just felt so numb and in disbelief. No matter what Niki did I just didn’t want to do anything.

As three days past all I did was sleep and cry. I did eat occasionally but only for the human life form inside of me. I was sitting in my room when Niki stomped.

“Ok I know you haven’t had the best few months but seriously this isn’t healthy. You need to put your cares aside for now and focus on this baby that is growing inside you for god sake! Now I am ordering you to go outside for at least an hour. Go grab your coat and go to the park or something. It’s a beautiful day so go and get healthy again” Niki said to me.

I took one look at her and saw even if I did argue I wouldn’t win so. I got up as told and grabbed my brown jacket, scarf and beanie put them gently on and walked outside taking my phone with me.
