A month passed and Joe and I had made more and more plans about moving. We saw eachother everyday.

I started to feel ill a few days before it had been exactly a month since my mum left. My boobs were sore and I threw up a lot. I wasn't too sure what was wrong and I thought it was just a virus so I left it. After a few days, nothing was changing so I googled my signs and the most popular answer was saying I was pregnant.

I didn't want to be pregnant, although, it seemed like the right time, about a month after Joe and I had sex...

I went to Boots and bought myself a pregnancy test, my hands shook as I gave my money to the woman behind the till. I was only seventeen, too young to be pregnant. I could imagine my father frowning down on me.

When I got home I called Joe over and told him to sit down while I explained everything. He was lost for words

"Its-im-i am sorry" he said

"Sorry?! For what?!" I said.

"For getting you pregnant. We used protection...I don't understand" he said, I felt a little sorry for him, he was genuinely confused.

"Oh Joe its fine, I haven't even taken the test yet, it might even come up that I'm not pregnant, no one knows yet. And the condom could have split anyway its not your fault." I explained.

"Well er okay." Joe stuttered.

I leant in and gave him a hug.

"I love you" I whispered

"I love you too Ella" he said, snuffling. I was scared he was crying.

"This is it." I whispered, closing the bathroom door, leaving Joe outside. I didn't want him seeing my reaction to whatever it was.

I took the test and left it in the sun for a bit before picking it back up again. I sat on the toilet seat and looked down at the results before bursting suddenly into tears. Joe ran in, apologizing over and over again.

"Look" I whispered sparsely, holding up the test.

Joe's POV

"Look" she whispered, she was weeping and it made me upset. I apologized, I didn't want to make her upset. So many things ran through my mind. She held the test up in the air towards my face. It was a shock for both of us and I plopped onto the floor, before collapsing into a pool of tears myself. Stop Joe, your a man, you don't cry. But I did.

Plot twist here, i didn't know what to write haha anyway we are 60 reads away from 1k!! Wtf I never thought this book would be so popular!! Tysm :*
