Struggles

Chapter 5

Chloe's POV

8 weeks later

I woke up feeling nauseous I got out of bed and immediately ran into the bathroom having to throw up. I sat on the floor of the bathroom making sure I was done. There was then a knock on the door and then the door opened revealing Jamie. 

"Hey you ok I heard you throwing up"

I shook my head no and leaned my head against the wall. Jamie walked over and picked me up carrying me back to my room. 

"How about you stay home today"

I nodded my head still trying to figure out what could have made me sick. That when I remembered that Zach and I had sex two months ago. My eyes widened realizing I might be pregnant. I can't be I am only 16 my brothers would kill me, What would Zach think. 

I got out of bed and went into my parents room which I haven't been in since before their death. I went into their bathroom and opened their under sink cupboard. I found a pregnancy test that my mother had left over and took it out. I took the test out of the box and sat on the toilet taking the test. I read the box for the instructions on how long to wait.

The timer went off and I couldn't bring myself to pick the test up. I took a deep breath and picked it up looking at it. Positive. Shit I don't know what to do I am only 16. I put the test in my pocket and walked out of the bathroom and my parents room. I ran back into my bedroom and shut the door getting back in bed and crying. Why is all this happening, why is my life ending up like this. I can't raise a kid Zach won't want it. 

I sat on my bed just thinking of everything and that's when I realized, maybe this is just what I needed. Someone to take care of something to make me happy again and figure out my life. I got out of bed and went to Jamie's room. I knocked on the door and he opened it right away. 

"Hey Chloe what's up" he said moving to the the side to let me in

I walked in and sat on his bed looking down because I was scared to tell him. Jamie sat next to me rubbing my back. 

"Jamie"

"yeah"

"I'm pregnant"

I could feel him tense up but he didn't say anything, he just sat there.

"J-Jamie" I stuttered out on the verge of tears

He wrapped his arms around me whispering that everything would be ok. 

"Have you told Isaac and Andrew yet." I shook my head no

Jamie stood up giving me his hand and helping me up off of his bed. We walked out of his room and went downstairs to where Isaac and Andrew were. Once we got into the kitchen I tensed up feeling more scared then before. 

"Isaac, Andrew can I talk to you"

They looked up at us and nodded their head and said yes. I sat down on the counter stool and started shaking.

"Chloe what's wrong, your scaring me" Andrew said

"I'm pregnant" I said

I didn't hear anything so I looked up and made eye contact with Isaac he didn't mad he just looked disappointed. 

"I'm sorry" I said

Andrew and Isaac walked from the other side of the counter and hugged me saying everything would be ok. I let them hug me as I broke down in tears thinking about what Zach would say.
