Just a nobody

Chapter 24

   Madi's POV

   I layed in bed crying. No, scratch that, it was more like short sobs. I don't know if you'd consider that crying. I don't know if it's because of my messed up emotions or if i'm actually sad.

  This isn't happening. I can't be pregnant.

   I've been waiting for hours for Louis to get done with school just so I could talk to him. He seemed really angry when he found out. I know it's because he's jealous that it's Marcel's baby.

   3:15

   I called Louis even though the dismissal bell just rang. The phone rang and rang and finally he picked up.

   "Hey Madi." He said.

   "Thank god you answered." I sighed.

   "Why? Is something wrong?"He started to sound worried.

   "No, not at all. I just figured you were mad at me."

   "I'm not mad. I could never be mad at you. It's not your fault, love. It happens."

   "Yeah but it wasn't supposed to happen. I never meant for any of this to happen."

   "I know you didn't. I'm not mad. I'm... happy for you and him." He referred to Marcel.

   "That's a lie." I said. He sighed.

   "Yeah." There was silence. We both just sat there for a while waiting for the other to say something.

   "Well I guess i'll see you tonight then." I got confused. But then I realized tonight is Prom.

   "Oh. Yeah. Ok, bye Louis." He said his goodbye and hung up.

  I layed back down and closed my eyes, hoping to get some sleep. Nope. The door opened.

   "Sweetie? You alright?" Mom said entering my room.

   "I guess." I still had my eyes closed. The bed dipped down, her hand rubbed circles in my back. I opened my eyes and looked up at my mom. Then the tears came once again.

   "Mom i'm sorry." I said all at once. "I never meant for this to happen, It was a mistake, a stupid mistake." I cried into my pillow. Mom layed down next to me and pulled me into her arms.

   "Yes Madi, it was a mistake. But it's wasn't a stupid mistake." She continued rubbing my back but I had thankfully stopped sobbing. "Falling in love is a mistake, but we don't look at it that way. I don't want you to see this baby as a mistake. Look at it as a gift. A chance to be happy." I wiped my eyes and nodded. She placed a kiss on the top of my head then stood up from the bed.

   "Do you need anything?" She asked. I shook my head. Once she left I put my hands over my stomach. Falling in love with Marcel was a mistake. But I don't regret it at all. This baby is part of that amazing mistake.

   I stared down at my slowly growing stomach. All I could think of was how i'm going to tell him.

****

  I felt someone shaking my shoulder. My eyes shot open to see my mom standing next to my bed.

   "Good you're awake. Louis' going to be here in an hour to pick you up. I suggest getting ready." My mom said leaving the room. My alarm read 6:30. Prom starts at 7:45. I groaned and burried myself in my blue duvet. I sighed and forced myself out of bed. My wonderful, comfy bed. I trudged over to my bathroom and took a quick shower.

  I sat on my bed in my white robe. My phone to my ear.

Ring

Ring

Ring

   Voicemail. I sighed and listened to the voicemail once again.

   "Hiya, you've reached Marcel's phone. Leave a message and I'll call you back asap. Byeeee." I smiled.

   "Hey Marcel. Um, just calling to see how you're doing. I really need to talk to you about something but I think it should be in person. Just...call me back okay? Bye." I hung up and got ready to go.
