Two; Positive

     From the moment Emily awoke that May morning, she knew her life would change forever. She was terrified of what was coming. She didn't know what was going to happen anymore.

Aaron and she were closer than close, but that night changed everything. They lived under the same roof and yet still somehow managed to ignore each other. It was a struggle, but they didn't want to deal with it. It was too much.

What were they supposed to say anyway? 'Sorry for sleeping with you. Won't happen again.'? Part of the problem was that they didn't know how to approach the situation, so they distracted themselves.

Emily was focusing on college applications and her other friends, but Aaron, well, he had a new girlfriend. The Junior from the party. Apparently her name was actually Kara, but Aaron liked her well enough. She was sweet and pretty, but his mind always went back to his one night with Emily. He knew his relationship with Kara was not going to last, but for the time being, she was a good replacement.

It had been over a month since the party and Emily and her best friend, Quinn, were currently driving home from their trip to the mall. They stopped in a small convience store and Emily ran in to find a test.

Pregnancy test.

Emily knew there was a great possibility that she had gotten pregnant from her encounter with Aaron, but she hoped the test would prove her wrong. She wasn't getting sick or something, but it was always better to be safe than sorry.

Emily picked up one test as discreetly as possible. She didn't want Quinn to know about it. She hadn't even told her about losing her virginity, let alone that she lost it to Aaron and might be pregnant because of it.

Unluckily for her, Quinn happened to walk past the aisle and notice the test in her hand.

"What the fuck do you have that for?" Quinn asked, pointing to the blue box Emily was carrying.

Emily grimaced, "I kind of might be pregnant."

Quinn's eyes bulged out, "You? Ms. Prude? Pregnant? What has this world come to?" she said, fanning herself with her hand.

"Spare me the dramatics. I just want to go home and take the test." Emily grumbled. Her mood certainly wasn't great which could be a bad sign.

Quinn gave her a small smile, wrapping an arm around her waist, "Hey, don't worry. I'll be here the whole time."

This minute was the longest wait of her life. Quinn stood by Emily's side, holding her hand. In a mere minute, her life could change for better or for worse. She couldn't decide which one yet.

The timer on Quinn's phone set off. The redhead gave her friend's hand a squeeze and let go, leaving her to look at the result.

"I-I can't." Emily stuttered.

"It's okay. I will."

Quinn paused for a moment before she looked back at her friend with sorrowful eyes.

"Two lines."

Fuck.

"Emily, are you almost done in there?" Aaron asks, knocking on the bathroom door.

Small tears painted Emily's face, but she tried to not let it faze her. She sat up straight, wiping the tears from her face and dropped the box in the trash and pushed the test in her pocket.

She opened the door and walked out, letting Quinn follow behind her to her bedroom. Aaron silently questioned why Quinn was in the bathroom, but brushed it off as he was about to piss himself.

After emptying his bladder, he noticed the pink box in the trash. In curiousity, he picked it up. His heart hit the floor as he read the name of the product.

She was fucking pregnant.
