Lost in your grip

Chapter 20 | Prom

After I thought about what the girls said last night, I decided that I had to tell him when he gets to my house. I also had to get a pregnancy test to make sure I went to CVS to get a pregnancy test. "Aren't you a little young for that?" The cashier asked. I gave a dirty look. "Aren't you a little old to be living in your mother's basement?" I asked. "Sorry I shouldn't have said anything." He sighed. I rolled my eyes and played for it. I left CVS and headed home.

I got home and ran into the bathroom. "Fuck....please don't be pregnant, please don't be pregnant..." I said in the mirror. I took the test. "Wait 15 minutes, two lines equal pregnant, one line equals not pregnant." I read. Fuck I don't have time. I guess I'll find out after prom. I walked into my room. I put on the dress that I bought. It's a small white dress. Nothing crazy. I hate dresses and how crazy they can be. The good thing about this dress is that it compliments my small frame really well. I put my hair up in a bun. The doorbell rang. That's gotta be Louis. Soon Louis walked in my room. "Clem?" He asked as he opened the door. "Hey." I froze. He was in a white tuxedo. God damn this boy is fire. "Wow.." We both said. "You look beautiful." Louis said while his eyes widened. "Thanks." I said as my face went pink. "You don't look bad yourself." I said as I hugged him. He hugged me back. "So you ready to go?" He asked. "Yeah but my mom is gonna want a picture, I already know it." I said. "Have you ever gone to prom?" He asked. "Well to be honest...no." I said. He smiled. He leaned in and kissed me. "We are going to have an amazing time Clementine." He said. "So um....Lou...I have something to tell you..." I mumbled. "What's up gorgeous?" He said. I love when he calls me that. "I...uh....okay so I would have told you earlier but I've just been scared about how you'll react. Brody and Vi told me I need to tell you and well I uh...I might be pregnant...." I mumbled. His eyes widened. "What?" He asked. Please don't leave me...please... I teared up, I was so afraid. I don't want to lose him. Please don't go. "You sure?" He asked. "Well I took a test and it said it'll be ready in 15 minutes but since the dance, it'll be ready when we get back..." I sighed. "Well pregnant or not, nothing changes. I will always love you and if you are pregnant....I'll take care of you and our child." He said. I felt a tear fall down my face. He smiled at me. My mom walked in with her phone. "Picture time!" She said with excitement. I wiped my face. I hugged Louis and he hugged me back. Mom took the picture and AJ walked in. "Can I join you guys?" He asked. Louis and I opened our arms and he joined the hug. Mom took another picture.

We let go of each other, Louis and I went downstairs. My dad pulled me in for a hug. "My little sweet pea is growing up to fast." He said. "I love you dad." I said. "I love you too." He said. He looked up at Louis. "Keep her safe, please." He said. Louis nodded. "Of course." He said.

We walked out and got into Louis car. "So what made you think you are pregnant?" He asked. "Well I should have started my uh...period...but it hasn't started." I said. "Oh okay well whatever the test says just know..I'm never leaving you." He said. He put his hand on my thigh. "You shouldn't be embarrassed about your period Clementine, it's a natural thing for women." He said. "You aren't grossed out by it?" I asked. "Not at all. Like I said, it's natural. It's nothing to feel ashamed about." He said. I smiled.

We got to the dance hall that prom is being held at. "Ready?" He asked. "Ready." I said. We got out and we walked inside. "Holy shit Clementine." Vi said as we walked up. "I wish I was that beautiful." Brody sighed. "Are you kidding? Look at you two, you guys look amazing." I said. Brody and Vi smiled. "Louis, you look good. For once." Vi rolled her eyes. "For once? You saying I look like trash all the time?" He asked. "Hey man you said it not me." She said as she held her hands up. I giggled. "Hey Louis, mind if we talk to Clem real quick?" Brody asked. "Of course not." He smiled. Brody pulled me aside with Vi. "So did you take the test? Are you...pregnant?" Brody asked. "I don't know yet. I took it but I had to leave so I hid it. I'll let you guys know when I get home." I said. "Did you tell Louis?" Brody asked. I nodded. "See, you had nothing to worry about." Vi said. I rolled my eyes. Brody walked over to Marlon and Vi went to Minnie. I walked up to Louis. He handed me sprite. Marlon walked over with Brody. "Looking good little sis." He said. I hugged him. "Not so bad big bro." I said as I messed up his hair. "Awe man, I spent 2 hours doing my hair." He said. Brody and I giggled. He hugged me back. "Don't worry, you look a lot better." I said. "She isn't lying." Brody smiled. "Uh Clem?" Vi asked as she walked over with Minnie. Yeah what's up?" I asked. She pointed to a familiar face. "Isn't that Sarah with...." I cut her off. My eyes widened. "James." I said. I started to walk over but Louis grabbed my arm. "Relax. If they come over then you can give them a piece of your mind." He said. "Fine." I sighed.

The slow dance started. Brody and Marlon walked over along with Vi and Minnie. "May I have this dance?" Louis asked with his hand out. "Really? You look stupid." I giggled. "Oh come on Clem." He said as his face went pink. I rolled my eyes with a smile. I grabbed his hand and we walked over. He placed his hands on my small waist. I placed my hands on the back of his neck.

"So how are you feeling?" He asked as we danced. "Well other than nervous, I'm fine. What about you? You've been a little quiet." I said. "I'm alright, just enjoying every moment I get with you." He said with a smile. I leaned in and kissed him. I placed my head on his chest and hugged him. Soon the slow dance was over. We got off the dance floor and went to our group of friends. Sophie walked over. "Hey, I took this for you guys." She said as she showed up a picture of us during the slow dance. I smiled."Thanks, Brody will give you my number....or Vi. One of them will." She smiled and nodded. "Ugh look who it is, the jealous bitch." I heard a voice say. I turned around with a dirty look on my face. I saw Sarah standing there with her arms crossed. "Hey you guys smell that? I smell...skank." I said. "Damn." Marlon said. Louis got close to me as James walked over. "Hey Clementine." He said. "Sup." I said. "You've got some nerve Clementine." Sarah said. "So what." I said. "You beat me up because I fell in love? That's a bitch move." She said. I felt my blood boil. "He's my boyfriend bitch. He's mine, not yours, not anyone's. Mine. I'll protect what I own." I said. "Come one Clem, don't be a bitch." James said. "Watch your mouth white boy." Louis said. I could tell he was heated. "You still drinking that?" I asked him. "No." He said. I grabbed Louis' coke and looked at it in my hand. "You look nice Sarah, but I know something that would make you look stunning." I said with a smirk. I poured the coke on her head. "Ugh! You fucking bitch!" She yelled. "Opps." I said with a smirk. I started to walk away. "C'mon let's blow this popsicle stick." I said. My friends followed. "That was awesome." Louis said as he grabbed my hand. "Just protecting what I own right?" I said. He kissed my forehead. Louis and I said goodnight to our friends.

We got back to my house to pick up what I had left to take to our house and to see...the test. We walked into my old room. We both looked at each other and took a deep breath. I grabbed the test from my closet and I flipped it over so we can both see the test result together. I put my finger over the results so we couldn't see it. I walked over to him. "Well, time to see if I'm pregnant or not." I mumbled. He grabbed my hand. He kissed my forehead. He took his hand and took my finger off of it, revealing the result. We didn't look at it yet. I teared up and we looked down.
