Arie POV

8:03am

I hung my head over the toilet as I just got done throwing up.

For the past week I been throwing up, feeling tired and eating a lot and I honestly don't even know what's wrong with me.

I hope I don't have any type of disease cause I can't be going to the hospital right about now. I brushed my teeth then went back in my room.

I grabbed my phone and went on safari to look up these symptoms and my eyes was wide open and I was shocked.

They all said something about pregnancy and the early stages of it. But I couldn't be could I? There's only one way I could find out and that's to get a test.

I locked my phone, threw on a hoodie and sweats then slid on my leggings. I got my phone and left out my room. Akira was still sleep so no questions from her on the way out.

I got my car keys and I left out. There was a slight morning breeze that felt nice but I knew that wasn't gonna last.

I got in the car and drove off the the Walgreens down the street from the neighborhood.

When I got there I went straight to the female wellness aisle and I saw the tests. I picked the one with two in it because I want to make sure of this.

I cashed it out and then I sped off back home with the bag in my hand. I ran up the stairs fast as fuck and then went inside my apartment.

I grabbed a water bottle and quickly drank all of it so I could pee.

After like 5 minutes I grabbed the tests and opened one of the test, I took off the cap and peed on one then I peed on the other test. I put the cap on both of the test and threw the wrappers away.

The box said I have to wait 7-10 minutes for the results to start showing up. So I waited in the bathroom for that long.

When time pasted, I was scared to look at the test cause I didn't want to be pregnant at all, not at this age. But I built up the courage and I picked up one of the pregnancy test and saw that it was positive.

I covered my mouth that was opened and then I looked at the other one and it said the same exact thing.

Oh my gosh, this is going to fuck up my life completely.

I grabbed both of the tests and threw the box away then I walked into akiras room.

She was up and just on her phone scrolling through it. She looked at me and saw the worried look on my face.

"What's wrong? Something happened?" She asked.

I started crying and I sat next to her on the bed putting the test beside her. She grabbed them and her jaw had dropped.

"Oh my gosh Arie, your pregnant" she said putting down the test.

"Yea, but I need to get an abortion Kira, I need to this is going to fuck up my life completely" I sobbed.

"Woah woah woah wait, abortion is a big decision to make Arie you need to think through that and second we need to tell mom about this first cause remember she told us she was pregnant with a baby once and she was thinking about aborting it but she didn't... she of all people will give you the best advice needed" she explained.

I sat there crying and thought about it then nodded. "Fine we can go talk to mom but later I need to process all this that's happening" I said wiping my tears.

"On another note, who's the baby daddy?" She asked smirking.

I thought back for a moment and sighed. "I don't know" I answered.
