"okay this says to pee on here and wait 3 minutes." aimee sighed as she turned the box over and held the test out for me.
i grabbed it and stared at it before looking back up at my best friends and shaking my head. "no i cant, if i take it then it becomes real and it cant be real."
gabi sat next to me on the bathtub and held my hand, "babe, its real either way." esme sat next to me too and held my other hand, "no matter what, you have us."
aimee nodded and looked at the box. "remember senior year, when i was the one sitting where you were and you were right here where i am now and when it came up positive, we all sat around crying for hours."
i smiled, "i lectured you for hours on safe sex."
"now its my turn." aimee squeezed my shoulder.
esme and gabi stood up and walked towards the door, leaving just aimee and i in the bathroom. "we'll be right outside. call us as soon as you finish."
"you want me in here or out there?" aimee asked.
"stay in here, please." i whispered.
"okay."

i never realized how long 3 minutes actual was. and i never realized how happy a single dash could make me.
"guess whos not a mother!" i yelled as i swung the door open and waved the test around in the air.
"bitch be careful!" aimee squealed as she pulled my arm down. "you're getting pee everywhere."
"i hope you learned your lesson." gabi laughed as she sat up.
esme leaned her head on gabi's shoulder, "wrap that shit up!"
"im becoming celibate. im a reborn virgin."
