My fathers best friend (Waterloo road)

Nine

Ruby sat in her bedroom and sighed. All that she could think about was the mess that she was caught up in. All that she could think about was Simon and how much of a mess that it was. Ruby lay back on her bed and sighed as she scrolled through her phone as the door opened as Esmè walked in and looked to ruby and smiled "are you okay kidda?" Esmè asked as ruby looked to her and smiled "I guess so" she said as Esmè looked to her and smiled. Esmè knew that there was something going on with her little sister and she wasn't going to give up until she found out what it was "talk to me, please" Esmè said as ruby sat up and looked to her with tears in her eyes "I messed up, I don't know what to do" ruby said as Esmè looked to her and smiled "about what babes" she asked as ruby wiped the tears away from her face and sighed

"I'm late and I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do if I am pregnant. No one can find out, no one can find out who's it is" ruby said as Esmè looked to her and frowned "why not? What happened" she asked as ruby wiped the tears away from her eyes "because I messed up, because everyone will hate me if they find out the truth" she sobbed as Esmè pulled her into a hug and smiled as she held her close as ruby cried into her "I won't hate you, I'd never hate you. I'm your sister and I'm here for you no matter what" Esmè said as ruby looked to her and smiled. She didn't know how to cope with it if she was in fact pregnant with simons baby

Ruby got to school. She saw Simon and sue who were standing together and talking. She looked after them and frowned. She hated seeing him with her it annoyed her. She walked off down the hall in the opposite direction as Simon saw her. He sighed to himself before he walked after her. He soon caught up to her and grabbed her arm and looked to her "don't, don't avoid me" he said as she looked to him and rolled her eyes "leave me alone, I can't do this anymore. It's messing with my head" she said as he looked after her and sighed "please ruby" he said as he placed a hand on her cheek "I'm in love with you" Simon said as she looked to him and sighed as she pulled away from him and sighed "I can't, I can't do this" she said as she walked off

Ruby stood in the bathroom and sighed as she looked to the pregnancy test that sat on the side. She ran her hands through her hair feeling anxious. She walked over and picked it up and paled as she looked at it and saw it was positive just as the door opened as Esmè walked in. She looked to her sister and frowned before she walked over and hugged her "it's going to be okay I promise" Esmè said as ruby smiled unaware of how things would come crashing down soon.
