The next morning, I woke to some screaming from my mother. I got out the bed and put on my robe. I was still sore from yesterday but I didn't want her to know. I walked slowly down the stairs and there she was dancing in the kitchen. When she saw me, she ran up to me and just hugged me tightly. What and the hell got in to her? "Mom, you alright?" "Yes, sweetie. I have some good news." "What is it?" She handed me an envelope that was already open. I took the paper and it was from NYU. It said:
Dear Diamond,
You have been accepted in New York University for are Criminal Justice Program. We are very excited to have you at are school next fall. And etc.
"Mom, is this real?" "All of it. I'm soooo proud of you, sweetie." "But there is something I have to tell you." "What?" "Um, me and Jacob....um...." "Sweetie, I already know." "You do?" "Yeah, his mom called me and told me so, you don't have to say anything." "Really? You're not mad?" "No, you got accepted into NYU WITH A FULL SCHOLARSHIP so, why would I be mad? You lasted longer than me. I gave mine up 14." "14? That's young! Too young." "The point is that you just got accepted into a college with a full scholarship, that more important than you losing your virginity." Wow! Is this my mother? What happen to my old one? My mom had called my dad and invited him over. I walked back up the stairs and my phone began to ring. I ran to my phone and saw that Jacob was calling me.
"Hello?" "Hey baby, what you doing? " " "Um, nothing now. What's up? " " I was wondering if we could talk?" "Sure, let's talk." " I mean in person. It's really important. " "Oh, um, sure. Let me get dressed and where at? " "Um, at my house." "Alright, see you in a few." "Okay. "
I hung up the phone and got ready. I put on some sweats, a t-shirt, and some old tennis shoes. I put my hair up into a high, messy bun and added lipstick on. I walked down the stairs and there stood my dad with that look on his face, like he was mad at me. "Is there a problem, dad?" "Yeah, how come you didn't tell me you had signed up for college? I thought you weren't the college type." "I'm not, I just thought I should give it a try." "Honey, I'm so proud. So, where are you off to?" "Um, going to Jacob's house, we have some things to talk about." "Awww, puppy love. Can't believe my daughter is caught up." "Never but I'll see you in a little while, okay?" "Yeah, go ahead." I left out the door and Jacob was right out side.
Jacob's POV
I began to walk to Diamond's house because I think it was best to go over there anyway. I walked up on the porch and heard her dad talking. "Yeah, how come you didn't tell me you had signed up for college? I thought you weren't the college type." "I'm not, I just thought I should give it a try." "Honey, I'm so proud." She going to college? Why didn't she tell me? I heard the door open and there she stood with a surprise face. "Jacob, what are you doing here? I thought we were going to your house?" "Yeah but why didn't you tell me you got accepted in college?" "Oh, how did you know?" "I heard, so you weren't going to tell me, were you?" "I was going to when the time was right." "But the time wasn't today, was it?" "Jacob, I can explain." "Don't. Seems like I'm not important to you." "You are. Why would you say something like that?" "Just to let you know, I got accepting in college too for Journalism. That what I was going to tell you." I walked off and she stood there screaming, and yelling at me but I ignored it. How come she didn't tell me? I guess I'm just had a break from everything and everybody.
Diamond POV
Its been 8 weeks since me and Jacob little argument but I haven't been feeling good lately. I been throwing up and having weird cravings. I decided to go the doctor's and my mom agreed to come with me. As we were driving there, my mom asked me a question that probably explain what happening to me. "Sweetie, you don't think your pregnant, do you?" "No, I mean I don't know.....maybe." "Well, if you are, don't worry, I'll be here for you." "If, right? It's a possibility that I'm not, maybe I'm just sick." "If you were sick, you wouldn't have weird cravings, like pickles and mustard." "Sounds good right now." We pulled up to the doctor's office and surprisingly it wasn't many people there. I signed my name and sat in the waiting room. While my whole body trembling, the doctor finally called my name. I walked to the room and my mom kept me calm. "Hello, Diamond. I'm Doctor Hamilton but you can call me Dr. H if you want. So, what's the problem?" "Well, she been have cramps and weird cravings and other things." "Okay, so, Diamond have you had any sexual intercourse lately?" "Yes, but it was like 8 weeks ago." "Well, were going to get give you a test just to be sure." "Okay." He gave me the test and told me the restroom was down the hall. I walked down the hall and closed and locked the door.
15 minutes later
"So, what is it, Doc?" "Well, Diamond you're pregnant." "W- What?" "You're pregnant." This is some bullshit! I can't be pregnant! I have to go to college and a baby will just mess it up but I'm going to keep it. Its about to be very hard raising him or her.
