It's Only the Beginning

Chapter 24: It...

Kylie's POV:

“Kylie... what..." Jake started but I turned away from him and headed out of the little shop as fast as I could. “Kylie wait!"

Before I knew it Jake had grabbed my arm and pinned me up against the car, his other arm holding onto my waist. I looked down at the ground, then to the sky and back at the ground again, I was looking anywhere but at him. I couldn't handle the look on his face right now.

“Tell me its not true," He whispered, his voice cracked... why the hell would his voice crack if he wasn't crying?! Maybe it was the late stage of puberty... no dammit Kylie your a retard!

“What does it look like to you?!" I yelled holding up the stupid little pee stick thing.

“Your... pregnant?"

“It looks like it huh?!" I couldn't calm down right now. I tried to move away from him but his grip was so strong there was absolutely no hope for me even moving an inch right now! I would probably have bruises later which they were always fun to get, right?

“But... I don't understand..." Jake whispered, lowering his head to rest on my shoulder and his grip relaxed a bit but he still wasn't letting go of me.

“Let me put it this way, my life is over," I whispered back feeling the tears burning in my eyes again. I could feel my heart beat pulsing through my body and my vision was all blurry, Jake said something but it was muffled and sounded like I was under water.

“Get in the car!" Jake said opening my door and not pushing me in but making me get in the car. He even fastened my seatbelt and slammed the door shut before he got in and started the car up immediately. I just watched him as he drove with a clenched jaw and his eyes were glued to the road. He wouldn't even dare to look at me right now, I don't blame him, I look like shit anyway.

He pulled into my drive way and we both climbed out of the car, no one else was home so I unlocked the door and as soon as I stepped inside the house I was being picked up and carried to my room. I tried to fight it but honestly... it was pointless! He's a star athlete and I'm... me?

He gently set me down on my bed and kneeled in front of me, so his forehead was resting on my knees. A moment later his shoulders shook... he was crying.

“Stop," I whispered. I should be the one crying right now, not him. I was trying to be strong but seeing the love of my life cry was too much, I was going to lose it if he didn't stop.

“Kylie.. I can't... This is my fault," He whispered, looking up at me, his eyes were bright and tears were freely rolling down his face. Oh my goodness this was too much to bear.

“Stop it, its not your fault, its mine too..." I said and ran my fingers through his hair as he continued to sob into my knees.

“I'm so sorry Kylie, I ruined this year, I ruined your life... I ruined us," What was I supposed to say to all of that? He didn't ruin anything, it was just as much my choice as it was his, we're in this together aren't we?

“You didn't ruin anything, I'll get an abortion and everything will go back to normal," I said trying to calm him down. Suddenly Jake's head snapped up and his eyes met with mine, he was furious, I could see the fire burning in his eyes.

“Abortion?! What the fuck are you talking about?" He yelled at me, standing up.

“I'm not keeping it!" I yelled back at him.

“That's our child! You can't kill our child!" He said pointing at my belly. One of my hands sprung up to my flat stomach, as if to protect the stupid child growing in it.

“I can't afford a child right now, I have school to worry about!"

“You are not killing my baby!"

“I'll do what I want!" I screamed back. Jake started crying again but he still looked pissed.

“That's mine... mine do you understand? Ours. Our child is in you, growing. Shouldn't we be happy? Yes we're young, way too young but we can't hurt our child... Our baby is going to be the best thing that's happened to us... I promise,"

Now I was crying, my eyes were like faucets, I couldn't stop no matter how hard I tried. I always saw those teenagers that were pregnant and thought to myself “I'll never be one of those people" I was supposed to finish college, meet the right guy, marry him and have a beautiful baby girl with him, that was my plan! This was not supposed to happen... all of this happened because of Jake... No I can't say that, but its true. It was also my decision too... I knew we should have worn a condom, but we were “too caught up in the moment" to cover his dick! We're so stupid!

Jake took a step toward me and embraced me in a big hug, letting me sob into his chest, soaking his shirt. This was horrible. This couldn't really be happening could it? Maybe this was a joke or something? Maybe one of the football players is just playing a joke to get back at Jake for something he did? Or maybe its just a messed up pregnancy test, they could always be wrong right?

“I love you Kylie, I really do," Jake said, his voice even cracked because he was crying. He really does love me, I know he does.

“What are we going to do about it,"

“It?" Jake said looking down at me confused.

“It.. the baby?" I said looking up at him also confused.

“Don't refer to our child as ‘it’ ever again Kylie... our child is not an it, our child is our child,"

“But it is an it for right now... we don't know what gender it'll be?"

“Your not getting an abortion? Tell me your not," Jake's eyes were pleading with mine, his red and puffy eyes with tears still filling them. Deep down I know I would never be able to kill a baby, especially my own.

“I would never kill our child," I whispered, slowly putting my head against his chest and pulling him closer to me.

“We'll make it through this Kylie... trust me, we will.... together,"

The funny thing is.... I believe him, I completely and 100% truly believe him. Jake's not the type to run out on you, sure he had the reputation of a player but I don't think he'll ever leave me, I think deep down he's really excited to have a child with me, a child in general.

“Babe, did you hear me?" Jake asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

“Huh?"

“I asked how we're going to tell your parents?"

“Oh shit... that's not going to be fun," I mumbled suddenly starting to cry again. My moms going to be so disappointed and she's going to cry then my dad... oh God my dad... he'll probably cry too, I'm his little girl and now I'm pregnant? I can't handle that... I just can't.

“Let's not tell them yet.. please,"

“We have to tell them soon Kylie, we can't hold it off too long, your belly's gonna start growing,"

“I know, just a few more weeks though please..."

“Alright, two weeks, that's it, then we have to tell them alright?"

“I'm scared Jake... I'm so scared,"

Jake wrapped his arms around me tighter and pulled me as close to him as I could get.

“I am too babe... I am too..."
