A New Beginning: Chapter One: Peyton's News

No. This cannot be real. No. I'm only seventeen. This cannot happen to me. Zayn means the world to me. He's gonna hate me. Isn't he? Of course he will. This can't be real. What am I gonna do?

Way too many thoughts going through my mind, as I stare at this plastic stick that bases my new future. I never thought a plus sign could be so frightening to look at. 

I can't be pregnant. Can I? Zayn, I'm so sorry.

I cry into my hands. How am I going to face my mom, my family, my friends, my school!? Oh no. This is not happening. Everyone is gonna hate me.

"Honey, what's taking you so long in there?" my mum calls to me from the otherside of the bathroom door. "Um. Nothing. I'll be out in a sec." I say back, hiding the pain in my voice. "Okay, hurry up, your dinner is getting cold." She says back to me, walking away.

She's never gonna speak to me again, isn't she...

I have to call Zayn. Right now.
