Jake walks into the bathroom.

Jake: Did you get them?

Erika: Yes

Erika open a box of clear blue pregnancy tests. She pulls out a test. Jake sits on his bathroom counter. Erika walks into the small toilet room and begins to take the test. Once she's finished she walks out of the toilet and sets the test on the counter. She washes her hands. She sits on the ground near the shower.

Jake: Do you wanna talk about it?

Erika: Not really.

Jake: If it's positive what do we do?

Erika: I don't know Jake.

Jake: We both know our relationship isn't good right now.

Erika's eyes water just thinking of all the fights her and Jake have had the past few weeks.

Jake: Bringing a baby into this would just make it worse.

Erika: I know Jake. *sniffs*

Jake: We are both moving in different directions. You're singing, modelling and so on.

Erika: It's not just my fault! You're doing all this business stuff. Not to mention acting.

Jake: Our schedules are so busy right now.

Erika: We barely have time for each other.

I tear falls from Erika's eye. She quickly wipes it away.

Jake: Erika-

The test beeps signaling its finished. Erika stands up walking over to the test. Jake jumps off the counter and walks over to. They look at the tests and instantly a weight is lifted off their shoulder. 'Not pregnant'.

Rocky: And then what happened?

Erika: I broke it off with him, but that didn't last long. I ended up going back to the house two days later and we were back together.

Rocky: So Cortney knows about that?

Erika: Most people do. Anyone that I was close to at the time I told. I don't know if Jake ever mentioned it to anyone.

Rocky: There was a second time?

Erika: Yeah... it was around the start of November. We were broken up so I was by myself this time.

Erika paces back and forth around her room. She leaves for NYC in 2 days. As she was packing she came across a pack of tampons. Erika almost instantly realised she's late again. For the past 4 minutes she just been pacing back and forth in her room. She's too scared to take a test. She has so many thoughts circling her mind. "If I'm pregnant... how would I tell Jake? He doesn't want kids until his at least 25... not to mention we aren't even together!"

Erika: I just have to take one. It's probably nothing.

Erika walks back into her bathroom. She opens the cupboard and grab the box of pregnancy tests. One tests was already gone from the last time she thought she was pregnant. She pulls one out and takes the test. She sets it on the counter and washes her hand. She walks into bedroom and sits on the end of her bed. She plays with her fingers. A tear falls from her eye remembering the last time she took a test... as much as her and Jake weren't in a good place at that time it helped having him there. Erika starts to get lost in thoughts of Jake when the tests beeps. She stands up takes a deep breath and walks into her bathroom... once again instantly a weight in lifted off of her shoulder. 'Not Pregnant'.

- Present Day -

Rocky: So while you and Jake were together you've had two pregnancies scares?

Erika: Well since we were officially together we've had one but then after we broke up I had another one. Then before he officially asked me to be his girlfriend I had one in January. That's a story for another time though.

Rocky nods.

Rocky: So Cortney knows

Erika: She found the box in my bathroom, and I told Stephanie before I took the test because I was so nervous then I called and talked to her after.

Steph: I was in Michigan.

Rocky nods.

Rocky: How come you never mentioned this to me?

Erika: I just didn't want to talk about it... the first time Jake and I had just broken up and I was sad about it I didn't really wanna mention that. The second time we weren't really talking.

Rocky: Fare enough.

Erika: anyway, I better call Kara so we can find an outfit.

Stephanie am Rocky nod. They walk out of my room. I grab my phone and call Kara. I tell her about the party.

Kara: What type of outfit do you want?

Erika: Sexy.
