Undecided - Zach Herron Fan Fic

chapter eleven

1 month later

I wake up and I don't feel good. my entire body is shaking and I'm sweating. oh no. I have the flu. I'm gonna throw up. BATHROOM BATHROOM BATHROOM!

I go throw up then grab a trashcan and go back to bed

I wake up no more than an hour later and throw up only 1 more time that day.

I wake up the next morning and throw up more. shit. it cant be, right? I throw up one more time and then get my keys and go to the boys' house. I walk in and go straight to Gabbie's room and tell her we need to go shopping. She happily agrees and has Jonah watch Lavender.

when I pull into a CVS she looks at me confused, "CVS?" she asks

I look over to her, with tears rolling down my cheeks, "I missed my period and I didn't even notice, then I threw up yesterday and today in the morning."

"its ok, maybe your not. sometimes periods just don't come. did you eat anything new recently?" she tries to calm me down

"yeah you're right. And yeah, I tried some Chinese food from a new place a few days ago." I respond

"ok see, you're probably not. but it also doesn't hurt to try." she says

we get out and go inside, we walk to where the pregnancy tests are and grab the most expensive ones just to be sure. I pay and we walk next door to a McDonald's. we walk to the woman's bathroom and I go into a stall. I pee on the stick and walk out. I sit it on some paper towel on the counter and wash my hands. A lady walks out of a stall and sees.

"oh no. good luck honey, I hope you'll be ok." she says and hugs me.

she stands and rubs my back while we wait. 30 seconds left. my stomach is doing flips. my whole body is vigorously shaking.

I look at it and breakdown.

positive.

Gabbie wraps it in paper towel and puts it in her purse while the lady consoles me.

well, there I am, a pregnant 16 year old literal cHiLd crying on the floor of a McDonald's bathroom with a stranger.

the lady gave me her number incase I ever needed anything and we left. in the car Gabbie drove and she told me how we could hide it, from fans at least.

"were gonna go shopping for pregnant clothes, and then we are gonna have a million photoshoots today so you can post and not be suspected, is that good?" she asks

"yes, what would I do without you?" I ask

"expose your pregnancy" she laughs

we go to the mall and get me a bunch of clothes to hide my stomach and some clothes for photo shoots today. we go to over 10 places and get well over 100 pictures. when we are done she goes home and I invite Zach over to tell him.

he comes over but I chicken out and we just fall asleep. I wake up early yet again and throw up. I know I will have to tell him today but im too scared. in a spur of the moment I duct tape the test to his forehead and go to David's to film with him.

I'm sitting on David's couch with Carly and Natalie when there's a knock on the door and Natalie gets it. she doesn't even open the door all the way when Zach is already in the living room yelling.

"WHAT THE HELL, ELIA?" he screams at me

I get up and walk around the couch, "what?"

he angrily groans and screams at me again, "YOU TAPED IT TO MY FOREHEAD?"

"I'm scared, Zach" I sob

Carly comes around the couch, "what the hell is wrong with you?" she asks Zach

"THIS WHORE!" he screams and I cry harder, "SHE GOT PREGNANT, AND ITS PROBABLY NOT EVEN MINE!"

I walk up to him and slap him hard in the face, "is that what you really think of me?" i ask

"no." he responds

"you're my first, Zach." I say and Carly leaves the room

His eyes go wide, "what?" he chokes out, "why didn't you tell me?"

"its embarrassing. do you know anyone else who is 16 and a virgin?" I ask looking down at my feet (and I oop-)

he puts his hand on my chin and lifts my head and I look up at his eyes, "why didn't you just tell me you're pregnant?"

"I didn't want to be there when you left me." I cry

he pulls me into his chest, "I'm not gonna leave you, Elia, I love you" he whispers
