Chapter Four

"Ugh" I groan as I roll out of bed. Its Monday again, and I don't want to go to school to face any of my friends or any of their questions. Or worse Chase. I lazily pull on my 'Blink-182' shirts and black skinny jeans. I pull on lace up boots and put on some mascara. I grab my bookbag and walk out of the apartment complex. I walk outside to see my friends in their car waiting. They glare at me. "Hey" I mumble and open the backdoor. "Hey" they mumble back. Ian starts driving in silence. "So" Kate trys to start a conversation. "The party was fun!" Ian shouts and the car jerks forward. "What the hell?" I ask. "Where were you after the party?" Ian asks. "Uh," I start. Trying to think up a lie. "Don't lie to me Kennedy!" he says, starting the car again. "FINE!" I yell. "I WAS IN BED WITH CHASE FRICKIN EVANS!" The entire car falls silent. "I was also drunk" I mumble. Kate puts her hands to her mouth dramatically. "You were what?" Ian asks, clearly in shock. "You heard me" I say, not not wanting to repeat myself. "Oh my gosh did you do, it?" Kate asks. I nod a bit. She gasps. "ARE YOU PREGNANT?" she screams. I shake my head. "No!" I insist. "You could be..." Ian mumbles. "Stop it Ian!" I say as he parks in the parking lot. I storm out of the car and up the stairs to the school. I walk in and nobody notices. I grab my books and storm to homeroom alone. I'm the second person there. After Chase. "Kennedy!" he says as I walk in. "What the hell do you want?" I ask with hands on hips. "I need to talk to you" he says and grabs my arm. He pulls me into the janitors closet across the hall and locks the door. "What the heck are you do-" I start. "I didn't use protection" he cuts me off. I stare at him wide eyed. He looks at me nervously. "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING YOU DAMN IDIOT!" I scream and get ready to smack him. He cups his hand over my mouth before I can say anything more. "Shh" he says. "Your coming with me after school. Meet me at your locker deal?" he says as I struggle to get away. He let's me go and I push him off me. "Deal" I mumble before stomping out of the closet. I storm to English and sit in the back like usual. I lie my head on the desk all through class. Nobody tries to make me do my work, or talk to me, and I don't care. As soon the bell rings, I rush out of class.

-----------------------------------------------------------

The day takes forever, but it finally gets over. I go to my locker and grab my bag before I go to Chases locker. He's surround by pretty girls, and they're trying their best to get in his pants. I roll my eyes and wait until he finishes wooing them with his so called "charm." He finally gets them to leave, and walks up to me. "Hey" he says. I nod and start walking out of the school. He follows me and tries to make small talk with me. Unluckily for him, I don't like talking. We finally get out of the school and he leads me to his car. We both get in, and I finally talk. "Where are you taking me?" I ask. "You'll see" he whispers. I look out the window as we drive off.

We drive for a few miles until he stops at a gas station. "Stay here" he orders me. "Fine" I mutter. He gets out and goes inside. I don't know why he brought me here.

-----------------------------------------------------------

He walks outside a few minutes later with plastic bag in his hands. I try to look at what's in it, but I can't see through it. I groan as he gets in the car. "Can you take me home now?" I ask. He nods, "That's what I was about to do." "Why'd you take me here?" I ask, as we drive. "You'll see" he mumbles again. We get to the complex, and I try to get out, but Chase grabs my arm. I turn back and he puts the bag in my hand. "Here" he says, trembling. "Okay" I say hesitantly and take it. I run inside the building and up the stairs. I'm so confused. I don't know what's going on. There's so many questions racing through my mind. I run inside our room and into my bedroom, I dig my hand in the bag and pull out a little pink box. My heart races when I see the label, and I start to shake. I dump the rest of the contents on my bed. Its a folded piece of paper, I open it and its sloppy handwriting. It says,

Hey Kennedy, I got you this because I was really scared. Please take it and call me. I need to know... I'm Sorry.
-Chase

I blink a few times and pinch myself. This can't be happening. I go into the bathroom and breathlessly take the pregnancy test.

-----------------------------------------------------------

I sit in my room. Hugging my chest, with tear streaks down my face. I keep staring at the two lines on the small screen. This cannot be happening. I sob into my knees, and sniffle a few times before picking up my cell phone. I tremble and dial the number thats sloppily written down on the piece of paper. Chase answers on the first ring, "Hello?" he asks frantically. I gulp and don't say anything. "Is this, Kennedy?" Chase asks. "Uh," I start. "Yeah." My voice cracks, and tears start rolling down my face again. "C-chase" I stutter. "Yeah?" he whispers. "I-i-i'm p-p-preg" I stutter but can't finish before sobbing again. Chase doesn't answer, I presume he knows what I'm trying to say. I hear him breath deeply through the phone. Before he says anything, I say. "Abortion." I hear him gasp a bit on the other end of the line. "No" he says forcefully. I can feel him shaking his head. I start to cry again, but I don't know why. "Don't murder the baby, please" he whispers. "F-fine. I won't" I choke out. "I'll stay with yo-" he starts, but I cut him off. "Yeah, right! You're the biggest player I know!" I yell at him. I'm extremely mad. Angry. Frustrated. Confused. Panicked."But, Ken-" "No! Save it, you dick!" I yell and hang up. I scream and fall on the floor in a heap.

I wake up to the soud of a door being tampered with. I rub my eyes so I'm awake. Melissa is probably home, and I'm afraid to face her. I'm afraid to face anyone. I walk out of my room and Melissa just glares at me. I deserve it, I probably look homeless. "Where's Anna?" I ask sleepily. As if right on cue, a little girl comes running out of her bedroom. "Hi Kennedy" she says before running up to her mother. As I start walking back into my room, Melissa calls, "Kennedy?" I whirl around. "Are you okay?" she asks seriously. I nod before I start crying. She nods in return and I run to my room. I decide to take a shower so I don't have to tomorrow morning. I strip down and step in as the hot water touches my skin. I was my hair and body. I shake almost the entire time.

I can't be pregnant. I'm seventeen. I want to have, a life. This would ruin it, and not to mention I'm going to be raising myself.

I step out of the shower and wring out my short blonde hair. I look down at my stomach and keep feeling it. I don't want this at all. In any way. I may just give the baby up for adoption, yes, that's exactly what I'll do. But how do I tell everyone? Well, school is only for 2 more months, maybe I can hide it until then and won't have to tell anyone. Then I'll move away to South America. Nobody will have to know. But what about Chase? No. Don't worry about Chase. He doesn't care that this happened. I tell myself over and over again.

I finally fall asleep after crying for another hour.
