The Young Mate

Chapter 10 (Edited)

Lila

Turns out last night Carmen had her twins. I was wondering why they left so weirdly. Well I'm happy for her. She was so excited when she talked about being pregnant. I come out of my morning euphoria when I feel like I'm laying in something wet. Oh my gosh. Did I pee myself!? I pull the covers back. I almost die when I see blood. In Landon's bed.

Jane I think I'm dying!, I yell in my head while putting the covers back.

I hear running footsteps come down the hall. Then the door flew open to reveal a white washed Jane. She was slightly shaking.

"What happened?" She slowly walked over. I let her pull the covers back. She let out a breath of relief.

"Am I dying?" I say shakily.

"No, silly. You started your period." My eyebrows scrunched together.

"My what?" She was confused. "Is that the whole once a month puberty thing?"

"Have you not had the talk with Beth?"

"No, she never got around to it." Then I hear heavier foots steps. Landon.

"Why do I smell blood?" I heard his deep voice yell.

"No reason!" I yell back. I jump up and go into his bathroom while Jane slammed the door and locked it. I had nothing to change into though.

"Don't make me break this door down!" His voice sounds different. Oliver must be out.

"Before you freak out go to my room and get a pair of sweats and underwear." There was a pause.

"Why?" He yelled back.

"Just do it." Jane snaps at the door. I hear him walk away. Only seconds later he's back again. Jane cracks the door and take the clothes from him. I stay on my spot on the toilet. She say something lowly to him and shuts the door again. "Okay take a shower and I'll take care of all this. You'll feel better after okay?" Jane said with a smile. I nod and shower real quick. She took the bloody clothes and sheets. I also found a diaper looking thing with the clothes. I put it on the underwear and put the pants on.

Then I picked put one of Landon's shirts and laid back down. I feel so embarrassed right now. I bled all over the place. Now he knows. God this is do bad. Then the door flies over and in comes a very upset Oliver. He to two long strides over to the bed.

"You better stay still." He growled. He checked every inch of my body. He was confused when he found no injuries. He kept sniffing me. I guess he can tell that way if I'm hurt. He stayed near my tummy mostly. Obviously. I had some cramps but it's not that bad.

"I'm fine." I ran my fingers threw is hair.

"You smell healthy. I don't understand. Why was there so much blood?" He mumbled. My face burned and my eyes got glassy. I turned away in shame.

"It's not a big deal." I murmured.

"What is?" He sat at the end of the bed with his torso turned toward me.

"The blood. It's normal" I used finger quotes for normal. Then he caught on. A tear slipped out and I turned away again.

"Why are you crying?" He laughed. "Menstruation is completely normal for teenage girls." He rubbed my shoulder. I smacked his hands away.

"No it's gross. I don't like it. I'm so embarrassed." I sobbed into the pillow. He laughed again and rolled me over.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Jane and my mom have to deal with the same thing." He tried to touch me but I rolled further away.

"I don't wanna talk about it with you." I grumbled.

"Do you want me to get Jason or Jackson to?" I smacked his arm.

"I don't wanna talk about it with anyone. This is the one thing I was clue less about. I go to public school." He scowled. I guess he can't accept that I'm not fully dumb. I'm 50/50 on most things.

"And there will be no awkward conversations for me." He chuckled and laid back. I crawled over to him and laid my head on his chest. The warmth made me sleepy.

"I have to count like six days right?" I grabbed his phone from his pocket and opened it.

"I think?" He put his head in the crook of my neck and closed his eyes. When I looked at the calendar I felt my heart stop at the realization. Beth hasn't called and she was supposed to be back  few day's ago.
