17 and Pregnant

Chapter Seven: Girl's Night

   Knowing Dean was seeing someone else, kills me inside. He would tell me that he loves me but it was all just a big lie. To get my mind off of what happened yesterday, I'm having a girl's night. It'll be the perfect time to tell everyone that I'm expecting. I haven't talked to everyone since school let out.
   I don't wear maternity clothes yet but I need to. I'm getting too big for my other clothes.
   I started blow drying my long blonde hair and adding some natural make up. Dove should be here to pick my up in an hour and I still have to get dressed, brush my teeth, and do my hair.
   Going through my closet I found dark purple capris, a white shirt, and a pair of black gladiator shoes. I decided to add a pearl bracelet, bracelet with rhinestones, and black bracelet. I put on my black scarf and straightened my hair, adding a poof to my hair. I brushed my teeth and grabbed my phone, seeing that Dove texted me.
Dove: Hey, darling I'm outside.
   I didn't text her back. Dove was defiantly my best friend, she's my only friend who knows that I'm pregnant. I walked into the living room where my parents were.
   "Dove is here I'm going to go. Can I have some money? I need to buy maternity clothes and probably a couple things for this little thing." I said pointing to my belly.
   "Yes, honey." She said. "Graham, give Aubrey some money." I laughed to myself.
   My dad shuffled in his back pocket then got out his wallet. He handed me $100.
   "Thank you so much, daddy!" I said as I gave him a hug and kiss. Then giving my mom the same.
   Dove honked her car horn. "Dove has absolutely no patience. Love you guys. I'll be back later."
   "Love you too." My parents said in unison.
   I got into Dove's silver car, sitting on the passenger's side. "How are you feeling?" She started in.
   "I've had some morning sickness but other than that I feel fine. I'm just scared." I explained.
   "That's great that you feel okay. You look amazing." Dove said.
   "Thank you. Are you picking everyone up?" I asked.
   "Yeah. It just seemed easier that way. What do you want to do today?" She asked as she pulled up to Blair's house.
   "Ask Blair when she gets in here. I need to shop for some things but if you guys don't want to shop then that's fine." I replied.
   We picked up Treasure and Jacquelyn at their houses.
   Blair decided shopping, eating, and a movie. I was getting kind of hungry. We were all in the car singing when I turned down the radio.
   "Listen.." I began. "I'm kind of. Ugh! How do I say this? Umm. Please don't hate me but, I'm pregnant." I finally spoke out.
   "Why would we hate you Bri?" Treasure asked. My friends call me Bri because my name is Aubrianna
   "I don't know.. I've just been so stressed to tell you guys." I confessed.
   "Well we don't hate you at all." Jacquelyn added.
   "Thank you that means a lot, you guys. I love you all." I said, smiling.
   "We're here!" Dove said as she parked her car in the mall's parking lot.
   We all shuffled out of Dove's car and walked in.
   "Where to first?" I asked.
   "We can shop for your clothes first." Dove suggested.
   "Thanks. I promise I won't take long." I said as we all walked into the maternity store.
   "What do you think about this?" Blair asked as she showed me some denim shorts.
   "Oo those are cute! What about this shirt?" I asked as I showed them a pink ruffled shirt.
   "Yeah. That's really cute. It'd be really cute with your silver converse." Treasure said.
   "I think I'll get them both and that floral dress over there." I said as I grabbed the shorts from Blair.
   I paid for them and then we left and went to Charlotte Russe. I sat there giving my opinion on the outfits that everyone came out in.
   "So is Dean excited about the baby?" Treasure asked as she switched outfits in the dressing room.
   "Um. Yeah. I think. We're actually not together anymore. So.. Yeah." I said.
   "I'm so sorry. I didn't know." Treasure confessed as she showed me her new dress that she was trying on.
   "It's okay. You should really get that dress!"
   "Do you think?" She asked.
   "You look gorgeous in it. It hugs your hips just right." I explained. She was wearing a red, short, strapless dress.
   "Thanks. I'm going to get it." She went back into the dressing room and changed back into her casual clothes.
   "So how far along are you? How has it been?" Jacquelyn asked.
   "A little over two months. Morning sickness has just started in.."
   Jacquelyn walked out in a hi-low pink dress.
   She looked stunning. "JC, you look AH-MAZING!" We call her JC because her initials are J.D.C. Her full name is Jacquelyn Diane Caysie. Treasure's full name is Treasure Grace Williams. Dove's full name is Dove Talia Austin. Blair's full name is Blair LeighAnne Karp.
   Dove didn't like her dress that she came out in so she didn't buy anything.
   We went to a store and bought some diapers for the baby. It'll need a lot so why not start buying now?
   We decided to eat at Red Lobster because I was really wanting some seafood. We were seated by a table of five guys who were looking at us. They eventually talked to us and we explained that we we're going to the movies after we ate. They insisted on coming with us. We didn't complain, they were cute.
   Upon arriving we decided on The Fault In Our Stars. They agreed surprising, probably so they could comfort us when we bawled our eyes out.
   One of the guys bought me some popcorn. "Thank yoooou." I drug my word out hoping he'd get the message that I didn't know his name.
   "It's Carter and it's no problem." He announced.
   I smiled and walked into the theater with Carter by my side. I sat in between Dove and Carter.
   Carter leaned over and whispered in my ear, "You're so beautiful."
   I'm glad that it was dark in the theater because I had the biggest blush on my cheeks. I sheepishly buried my face in his shoulder.
   The movie began so I sat up and watched it.
    I started crying so Carter put his arm around me. He was so sweet. I laid my head on his shoulder and put my hand on his other should, laying my arm across his chest. I'm not going to lie, I was crying so hard and I think Carter might have cried a little too. It was adorable, though.
   He hugged me once the movie was over and slipped me his number.  I immediately put it in my phone.
   "Thank you for comforting me during the movie. That was very sweet." I praised.
   He flashed me a smile and said, "It was no problem. I liked comforting you."
   We got into Dove's car. "Tell us everything!" JC yelled all of a sudden.
   "What are you talking about?" I played dumb.
   "You and that guy!" Treasure shouted.
   "His name is Carter and he called me beautiful." They gushed. "What about you guys?" I asked.
   "We all got their numbers but they weren't as sweet as Carter was to you!" Dove excitedly said.
   "They were all cute though. I met a guy named Lucas Birk and he had the hottest, country accent ever!" Blair said.
   "I met a guy named Coleman Gray. He was really cute and funny" Treasure explained.
   "I met someone named Jaxson Miller ." Dove added in.
   "I met this guy named Oliver James." Jacquelyn said lastly.
   "So we all have dates! Yay!" I celebrate as we pull up to my house.
   "Thank you for taking me." I thanked Dove as I grabbed my bags. "Bye."
   I walked to my room and put my clothes in my closet. I texted Carter so he had my number.
Bri: Hey Carter. By the way, my name is Aubrianna.  You can call me Aubs, Bri, Brianna, Anna, Aubrey, or anything you can come up with.

Carter: I'll think of something. I'd like to do that again but without everyone else. (;

Bri: Me too. I'm tired so I'm going to bed. Thank you again for everything. You're so sweet. Goodnight.

Carter: It was really no problem. Get some sleep, beautiful.

   I smiled to myself at his last text. He was perfect, I swear.

   So what does everyone think about Carter? I like him a lot.
   If anyone is wondering, Treasure IS a name. It's such a beautiful name. I've met someone named Treasure and I didn't want the usual names for her best friends!
