3 weeks later
It's been about 3 weeks since I told Alex about the whole pregnancy thing. And he hasn't brought it up since.
And as much as I don't want to say this, It's all adding up.
Y/n- ave I need you to come over.
Avery- okay, I'll be there in 15.
I lock my phone before getting out of bed. It's become a daily routine, I rush to the bathroom with a pounding headache and dizziness.
I lean over the toilet holding my hair out of the way. I was exhausted. This had been going on for weeks.
I flushed the toilet and rinsed my mouth before sliding down to the floor.
I lay on my side trying to hold in the sobs but I can't do it. Not anymore.
Either something's really wrong, or I'm pregnant.
I constantly crave the most random things, I have no motivation to do anything but sleep and eat.
I'm exhausted.
I can't be pregnant. I haven't had a boyfriend in months.
I haven't had Sex.
A few minutes go by before the door slowly opens.
"Lia, are you in here" Avery's voice softens when she sees my on the floor.
"What's wrong, are you ok?" She asks before leaning down to me.
"Avery I think you're right. We need to go get a test" I say in between sobs.
Avery sits down next to me scratching my back.
"Lia you never know until you take a test, and if it's positive there's other options"
What did she mean by that? Abortion? Adoption?
There's no way I'm giving my baby up, none the less aborting him/ or her.
Who am I kidding, I haven't even taken a test yet.
About 10 long minutes pass before I've calmed myself down enough to get up.
I look at myself in the mirror before leaning down and letting the cold water cool my puffy face.
I dry my face off before throwing my hair into a messy bun and turning the light off.
I grab my keys before slipping on my vans.
"Ready?" I ask looking at Avery.
She nods her head and we leave my room walking down the stairs out to the garage where my car is parked.
I unlock the doors and get in.
I take a deep breathe before looking at Avery.
She lightly smiles at me before bucking up.
I back out of the driveway and quickly leave my neighborhood.
"Listen, you can't let this ruin you. You might not even be pregnant."
"I know, it's just scary" I say keeping my eyes glued to the road.
As soon as we pull into cvs I turn the key and anxiously walk into the drug store.
Avery walks next to me as I search the aisles.
But then I see it. My heart beats faster and faster as I get closer to the tests.
I grab one before walking up to the register.
An older lady stands at the register before greeting me.
I set the test down trying not to make eye contact.
"Aww! How exiting" she says scanning the test.
"$9.50 will be you're total" she says still smiling at me.
I swipe my card before being handed my recite.
"Congrats miss" she says handing me my bag.
"Uh thanks" I say sending her a light smile.
Obviously Forced.
I walk out the medal sliding doors before the hot air hits me.
I clench my jaw anxiously.
The drive home was silent, but our nerves were screaming louder than our words.
As soon as I pull into the driveway I slip the test into my hoodie so that nobody could see it.
We walk straight up the stairs into my room before I pull the test out of my shirt.
I instantly open the package reading the slip of paper telling me how to take the test.
I look up at Avery holding in my tears.
"Cmon, let's just take it." She says standing up.
"Can you come in with me?" I ask anxiously.
"Of course" she giggles following me into the bathroom.
I open the test and pull one out.
"K pee!" Avery asks making me laugh.
"Okay okay!" I say before taking the test.
As soon as I finished I put the cap on the test before setting it on the counter.
"Okay let's leave for a minute, I don't think I can sit and watch it"
We leave the bathroom and go into my room.
"Let's just not think about it for a few minutes"
But how could I not.
My entire life could possibly change right now. I don't even know what my parents would say.
Would they kick me out? Disown me? Force me to give up the baby?
"Lia, calm down" Avery days holding my hands still.
"You look like you're about to have a seizure!" She laughs.
I take a deep breathe before checking the time on my phone.
"It's been 3 minutes. Should we go check?"
Avery nods before standing up. And grabbing my hand.
We hold hands walking into the bathroom. I flick the light on before I take another deep breathe.
I flip the test over looking at the lines.
