"You guys are so loud! I could hear you from down the hallway!" Mahogany laughed as I sat down on her bed. We were having a girls' day. I practically feel the blush being added to my cheeks. "Which one?" I asked, smiling, holding up 2 bottles of nail polish, one red and one white.
"Do red with black and white stripes." I nodded an 'okay'.
"So how is he? You know that was his first time?" Mahogany kept bringing up the topic, the one topic I was keen on avoiding. It's not that I was embarrassed, much, it's just that I don't feel comfortable talking about my sex life with Matt before Matt and I have even talked about it.
"Can you pass me the black nail polish?" I asked her as innocently as possible. "Mack! You're avoiding the subject!" She implied with a demand to know as she handed it to me.
"Okay. He was good. No, he was amazing! I would have never know it was his first time. Especially since he had the hand-" I stopped my rambling before I said something I knew I would regret but gravely, it was too late.
"HE HAD HANDCUFFS?!" Mahogany screamed. "Shh!" I put a finger to her mouth. "He had handcuffs?!" She whisper-yelled. I looked down, blushing and smiling. I nodded my head a little. She squealed and bounced up and down on the bed. "Whoa! Mahogany! You're going to spill the nail polish!" We laughed.

After painting our nails, and toes, then listening and singing along to music, someone knocked on the door.
Mahogany was in the middle of making chocolate-drizzled popcorn (A/N: that stuff is the bomb you have to try it!) and picking out a chick-flick on Netflix so I decided to answer it. Luckily I did.
It was Matt.
"Hey Babe, what's u-" I started before he slammed his lips against mine. "Who is it?" Mahogany asked as she walked in. Well damn. "Oh." She held in a laugh. "I'll just leave you to it then. But, um, don't forget protection." She walked out and I quickly pulled away from Matt with wide-eyes. We didn't. We didn't use protection last night.
"Oh my god, Matt. We didn't" I nodded his head. "I know, the boys had just asked me about that and I ran here. "Matt, I'm only 17. I can't get pregnant." He nodded his head putting his hands on my shoulders. "What are the chances? It was one time, right? Plus, you're in birth control. Right?" I looked at him. I'm not. "Mack? You're on birth control right!?" His voice started to get a little louder. I had never heard his yell before. I shhed him and told Mahogany Matt and I needed to talk about something so she let me miss a little of girls' day.
We went into our room...we ran into our room.
"Mack! How are you not on birth control?!" He yelled.
"I'm sorry! I didn't think I'd be having sex with anyone anything soon!" I yelled back, my eyes started watering. That must've done it.
"I'm sorry, Mack." He said strongly embracing me into his arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck and felt the tears fall down. "I'm scared." I said pulling away from the hug. "What if I am pregnant? I couldn't get an abortion, that's like baby slaughter! It's sickening. But, I am not ready to have a child. I-I-" I chocked on my words as more tears fell.
"Mackenzie, I highly doubt that you're pregnant. In a few days you should take a test. If it's negative, great. If it's positive, well, we'll just take it from there okay?" He stated wiping my running mascara off my cheeks. I nodded, going into the bathroom to fix my makeup before I went back into mahogany's room.
"Bye Matt!" I said as I walked out, kissing him on the cheek. "I love you!" He called out behind me. "I love you more!" I called down the hallway blowing a kiss.
I reached Mahogany's room and I opened the door.
"Hey mom!" She said waving. "What?" I asked nervously. "I said hey mom. Mack, that was the most obvious fail in the world. I don't think I know any other pair of 17 year olds as stupid as you and Matt, which means only you two would forget to use protection." I felt the tears building again. "Mahogany we don't know if I am yet. Please, don't tell anyone. I couldn't live with myself. I don't know what I'm going to do and I'm so scared." I started to cry into Mahogany's arms. "Mack? I have 2 bags of chocolate- drizzled popcorn, 3 chick-flicks picked out, and a whole lot of candy. We can lock the door, no one will bother us, and we can just forget about everything right now." I smiled and nodded. She's the best. "Thanks Mahogany." I hugged her. We sat in a comfortable spot on the bed after she locked the door and we put on Mean Girls as she set up all the junk food. We totally pigged out.

4 Weeks Later
------------------
The test was negative. All was well. Matt and I had an active sex life but we always made sure he had protection and I started on birth control. That's why we were all so surprised when I randomly threw up the morning before our last show. It was the last show and summer was just ending. We were in Colorado and Matt and I had decided to buy a house together in LA.
Our parents were fine with it so we were going to move in as soon as we could.
"Are you sure you're okay? I don't want to go on stage if you're sick." Matt asked sitting on the bathroom floor with me in our room. I nodded my head and he kissed my cheek as he got up to go to the venue.
Madison and I had planned to go get a test from drug store across the street when I started to gain weight. I also missed my last period but I didn't want to tell Matt.
We headed across the street and into the store. Once we got back to the hotel I took it. I left it in the bathroom while it was processing.
Madison and I were sitting on the bed in my room. "Matt and I are planning on buying a house together in LA after the tour. Our parents already said its fine. But what will they think about it if I'm pregnant? It's not like we were trying or anything! I guess we forgot to use protecting once or twice but we never though anything of it." She placed he hand on my knee. "It'll be alright. You two are meant for each other and your parents can see that. Eventually you guys are probably going to get married. I can feel it. Then if you have a baby it'll be alright. What's the difference between having one now or later?" I smiled and hugged her as the timer went off.
We walked to the bathroom and I stood in the doorway while Madison went in a grabbed the test.
She covered it as she brought it over to me so we could see it together.
She uncovered it to reveal the answer.
It was positive.
