As the days go by I decided it was time to go home and start getting this all figured out.
As soon as I pulled up I grabbed my backpack and unlocked the front door.
"Mom!! Dad!!" I yell hoping they were home.
"Lia!" My mom yells from around the corner.
As soon as I step into the kitchen she engulfs me Into a huge hug.
"Honey I'm so sorry" she says still holding me.
"I realized that you're probably terrified and instead of being pissed I need to be there for the baby. And we can work things out as we need too. But for now. The baby" she says pointing at my belly.
"Thank you mom" I say hugging he back.
I didn't expect this to go like that. I thought there would be screaming and hurtful words but I couldn't be anymore grateful.
"I'm making dinner, you're dad should be home soon and we can talk this all over" she explains.
I nod my head and head upstairs to shower.

It was now dinner and I was sitting across from my parents who were sitting next to one another.
"So you do know who the father is? Right?" My mom asks stabbing her fork into her salad.
"Umm yeah, but umm we don't talk" I say keeping my eyes on my plate.
"Lia. Why don't you have more respect for yourself?" My dad asks obviously very disappointed.
"I'm sorry" I mumble.

Next day.
It was about 9:30 am and I decided it was time to talk to Grayson.
I open my phone and start typing. I didn't have his number but we were friends on Snapchat.
Me: hey. I need to talk to you. It's important..
Opened 4 seconds ago.
Typing....
I become very anxious and feel sick to my stomach.
Grayson: ummm? Ok. What do you want?
As soon as I open it I instantly know that this wasn't gonna go well.
Me: in person.
Grayson: fine, let's get dinner after my game. But let's make it quick.
Me: okay. Thanks.
Grayson: k.
"K?" I roll my eyes at his response.
——
The game was 51-7 our team winning.
I couldn't keep my eyes off Grayson. But then I say Alex. He waved me over and I quickly walked towards him.
"How ya feelin?" He asks holding his helmet in his other hand
"Anxious, I'm gonna talk to Grayson tonight"
"Oh dang. Lmk how that goes" He says before heading off the finish the game.
I walk back to the bleachers and sit next to Ellie, "dude I'm freaking the hell out"
"Me too and I'm not the pregnant one" she says not making me feel any better.
The whistles blow indicating that the game was over.
Everyone cheers and the football players run off the field high fiving over the big win.
