-- Jordan --
I awoke to a soft knock on the door...
"Jordan!" moms kind voice sounded from the other side "Are you and Paige hungry?"
"I am!" Paige said as suddenly as she sat up in bed
"I guess..." I said quietly
The sight of Paige reminded me of the mistake we had made last night. That drastic mistake. I lifted the covers from my bare skin and walked to my closet.
"Its going to be okay Jordan, everyone makes mistakes..." Paige said soothingly from across the room
Once I heard mom's small feet hit the hard floors downstairs I responded to Paige
"How is it going to be be okay?!" I said as tears formed in my face "What if you do become pregnate?!" "What if you DIE in labor?!" "I would never forgive myself!"
"All we can do is hope..." Paige said as she buried her face in my chest
After a small talk about what to do if Paige was going to have a baby, we got dressed and walked downstairs.
"What was the comotion upstairs last night?!" mom asked from the kitchen "All I could hear was crying and Paige yellling hope for 45 minutes!"
"We were watching a sad movie on Paige's phone..." I lied
"Alright but my mom senses are kicking in!" mom said jokingly
I felt awful! I was going to put Paige through all that pain and mom through all that hard dissapointment! Mom returned to the pancakes she was making, Paige looked at me saddly. We just had to wait and see... My thoughts were interuppted by the pancakes being dropped onto my plate.
"Thanks mom..." I mumbled
The rest of breakfast was silent, mom tried to make conversation yet failed...
"So guys how did you sleep last night?" Mom tried
"Good..." Paige whimpered
We finished breakfast and walked back to my room. Mom walked in after us,
"Kids I have to go!" She said urgently "I need to be at the hospital!"
I watched her as she got her uniform on and rushed out of the house. I shut my door again and looked at Paige, her bottom lip was quivering, and her eyes were exploding with tears.
"Jordan I feel so helpless!" She screamed
She buried her face in her hands and began to sob. I pulled her into a hug and stroked her soft brown hair. This was all my fault! I should be the one crying, not Paige! What if she died in labor? What if she got sick from the baby? What if we are never allowed to see eachother again after she gives birth? What is she dies when getting aborted? I looked at the celing and prayed that her pregnacy tests would be negative.
"I need to lie down..." Paige said quickly
I put some pillows up on my bed and helped her up. I sat down next to her and circled my hand over her rapidly moving belly. About 5 minutes later he phone went off...
"Hello?" Paige asked drowsily
"Paige its dad, I was just invited to go on vacation in hawaii with my friend Joe, so if it is okay with Mrs. Hillson, could you stay at Jordan's for two weeks?" he asked. Obiously he had been drinking heavily a few minutes before
"Um... Okay." Paige said akwardly
"Bye honey." Mr. Denloey said
How funny she had her phone on speaker. Paige set the phone down and looked at me.
"At least I have some support while I do the tests..." Paige said anxiously
I flicked the tears off of her face. She buried her face in my chest and continued to sob. I rubbed her sweaty back and whispered soothing words to her. The dams in my eyes burst. tears streamed down my face. Why had we done this?! Why had we had sex?! We should have listened to my mom. I looked back down a Paige. She had drifted off in the midist of her sorrow. I moved her onto the bed, clambered on next to her, and drifted off into a light sleep
