Summer
I push panicked thoughts out of my head as I walk home from confronting Aspen.
I'm sure I'm fine.... nothing's wrong.
It's possible that it can be late sometimes.... right? Right.
I step into my house, heading straight for my bedroom.
I immediately notice the large lump on my bed, and hear a few sniffles.
"Mikey?" I cautiously poke the pile.
"What?" He croaks. Suddenly, his head appears, and his stares at me with a heartbroken look in his eyes.
"Aw, Mikey." I sit down on my bed, setting his head in my lap.
"Sorry for being in your room." He mutters. I brush some hair out of his eyes.
"It's be okay. She'll come around." I comfort.
He closes his eyes, starting to snore softly.
I'm so happy Michael and I are friends again, he's even working on his trust in me. I couldn't ask for anything more.
I grab a book and open it to my marked place, about to read, when my phone rings.
It's Luke.
I have a mental heart attack for a second, then answer.
"Hello?"
"Summer?"
"Luke." My heart melts when I hear his voice. He has such an amazing effect on me..
I don't think I've loved anyone more.
"I miss you." He mumbles.
"I miss you too."
"Luke, how much longer until you come home?"
"Still a week and a half." He sighs. I look at Michael and realize something.
"Would you mind if I shipped Michael out to you?"
"Why? I thought he was staying with you girls."
"Aspen broke up with him."
"Send him right away." He responds quickly, making me giggle.
"Sure." I grab a pillow and move Michael's head. Then, I get up and pack every piece of clothing he left in this house, and everything else. Man, it's like this house is a second home to him.
Well, it practically is.
By the time I'm finished, Luke tells me he has to leave.
"I love you." I whisper.
"I love you too." Then the line goes dead.
I think about Luke for a second longer... and I remember the thoughts I was hoping to push away.
I'm sure it'll be okay...
What will he think?
Shut up, Summer. There's nothing wrong. I'm sure it'll start right away tomorrow morning.
Definitely.
I finally return to my room, shaking tired Michael awake.
He groans and opens his eyes.
"Let's go." I announce, dragging him out of bed.
He drowsily follows me down the stairs and into my car.
"Where are we going?" He asks.
"It's a surprise." I tease, starting the car. I pull out of the driveway and down the street, taking a left turn towards the airport.
It doesn't take long before we arrive.
I take him inside along with his suitcase, and after another amount of time, we finally arrive at the right gate.
"Flight 347 to Dublin now boarding." The woman announces.
I put the handle of his bag in his hand and smile.
"Luke, Calum, and Ashton will meet you at the airport."
He smiles like a young boy on Christmas, and hugs me tightly.
"Thanks Sum." He says, before turning around and boarding.
I cross my arms over my chest and begin returning to my car.
I definitely did the right thing.
-----------------------
I wake up in the middle of the night with a strange feeling in my stomach, and sprint to the bathroom.
I barely make it in time to empty out everything inside of me.
When I'm finished, I lean back on the bathtub, closing my eyes.
Oh my gosh.
That's all I can think right now.
Oh my gosh.
I sniffle a bit and struggle to my feet.
I brush my teeth, then step back into my room.
Quietly, I put on a pair of sweatpants and Luke's hoodie. I open my door and tip-toe down the stairs. I sneak outside and cross my arms, slightly shivering, as I head towards the mini gas station a couple of blocks down.
After 15 minutes, I finally arrive. I push inside and see one other person, a teenager working as a cashier.
I look around in a few aisles, when I find what I'm looking for.
I don't care that it's the most expensive one, I take the test that promises the best accuracy.
I shuffle to the girl's station and set down my item. She stares at it for a second, looking slightly judgmental, but scans it anyway without saying a word. I pay her, then approach the bathroom. She doesn't seem to care.
I lock myself inside a stall and open the pink box.
It's about as simple as the ones I've seen on TV.
I make sure I'm ready, then nervously sit down on the toilet and do what you do.
I set it down when I'm done, butterflies tickling my stomach as I wait for the results that might change my life forever.
I'll be okay.
It'll be okay.
Nothing's wrong.
Finally, I pick up the test.
It'll be-
Tears spring to my eyes.
I wrap it in paper towels and stuff it in my purse. I throw the stall door open and rush out of the store.
I stumble down the street... then find myself turning and stopping at a doorstep.
I knock on the door.
About five minutes later, the door is opened, and she's right there.
"Aspen." I gasp, tears streaming down my face.
"Why are you here? And why at 3 in the morning?" She growls, rubbing her face.
"I need you."
"Yeah, sure you do."
"Aspen, I'm pregnant."
