birthday surprise

chapter 25

(Lizzy's pov)
3 days until court

ring ring ring.

I lift up my phone to see that officer Kelly is calling me.

"Hey, this isn't really any of my business, but I just want to ask you a question?" She says when I answer it

"Yeah, what's up?" I ask.

"Do you know if Matt happened to use protection? Or were you on the pill? You don't have to answer, I'm just trying to look out for you.."

Oh boy, did he? I haven't been on the pill. I didn't see him slip a condom on. What if I'm pregnant?

"No. I better go. Thank you.'' I hang up the phone and zoom to my car. I gotta get a pregnancy test.

The second I get back home and into the bathroom, I'm peeing on the stick.

Man, can the three minutes be over already? I check my timer I set.

2 minutes and 13 seconds left. It hasn't even been a minute, and it feels like it's been 10.

1 minutes 37 seconds left. Okay. I've gone through half of the time, I just gotta get through the same amount once more.

28 seconds.

15 seconds.

10 seconds.

9 seconds.

8 seconds.

7 seconds.

6 seconds.

5 seconds.

4 seconds.

3 seconds. Here we go.

2 seconds.

As soon as that timer went off I grabbed the test like it was nobody's business.

"Logan! Please come here, I'm in my bedroom. Hurry, it's important!" I shout.

I can hear his footsteps walking up the stairs.

"What is it Lizzy? I was vlogging." He asked annoyed.

"The camera is off, right?"

"Yes the camera is off. What's wrong?" I show him the test.

"Does Jack know?" He asks. His face turns white.

"I just found out myself. I'm going to call him." Logan sits on my bed with me.

ring ring ring. No answer.

I try again.

ring ring- hello?

"Jack! Are you busy?" I ask him once he answers.

"No, why? Is everything okay?"

"Can you come over to my house? I wanna talk to you. Like right now." I wipe the tears forming in my eyes away.

"Yeah, of course. I'm on my way." I hang up the phone and prepare myself for what I'm going to say.

"Do you think it's his?" Logan asks me.

"I don't think it is. Matt didn't slip on a condom or anything. Jack and I used protection each time. How am I going to tell him? We just talked about this the other day. He doesn't want to be a dad, like what so ever. But I dont think I want to get rid of this baby either.

The doorbell rings, and Logan goes to answer it. Jack comes up alone, meaning Logan left me here to tell him by myself.

Jack rushes up to me. My face must be red and puffy.

"Lizzy? Is everything okay?" He asks me.

"Jack? I love you." My vision is getting blurry from all of the tears.

"I love you too, Liz. What's wrong? You know you can tell me anything."

"And when you said that you'll stay with me through anything and everything, did you mean it?"

A test slips from my eye, and Jack brushes it away slowly with his thumb.

"Yes, of course baby girl."

"Jack, I'm pregnant." I tell him.
