By My Side

chapter 4

Tessa

It had been three weeks since the whole incident and I had been doing fine along with the remarks from molly.That girl could run her mouth like a freaking tap.she never stopped talking.

I was walking along the field to my favourite spot under a tree at the furthest spot from the classes.I for some weird reason was feeling very sick and weak.I would have a nausea and a slight headache or I would throw up suddenly.I was planning to go have a checkup soon but God had other plans.

I was hit by a ball straight to my face.the hit wasn't so bad but it was strong enough to make me fall on my face.

I was busy getting off some steam in the school field.apparently I couldn't do that in the school gym because molly was there ,the reason for my steam.

You see ,I never wanted to be a play boy nor did I want to date the plastic baboon.But fate played a dirty joke on me when my mother decided molly was a perfect candidate for me being her mother was her best friend.
For one I would never go against the ladies words and I practically had no way out of it.So I dated her and boy wasn't she a whore.

The first six months were all good with Rose's and chocolates.she was the ideal girl.But her true colours came out and I found out she had been sleeping around with seniors in the school.I tried to explain to my mum but she wouldn't hear a word of it.

So just like her I decided to have fun just like she was.But I was tired,not of the fun,but of her,she was like this little lychee attached to me that I couldn't shake off.And I hated it,i hated her and everything about her.

I was busy hitting my ball when i hit someone straight in the face.i was surprised that there would be someone there,guess am not the only one who needed to breath.i was about to ignore it and the person when she suddenly fell on her face.

I was sure the hit wasn't that hard coz I was not using much force but I still ran to see if they were okay.

"Hey are you okay?"I asked as I rolled her over so I could see her face.It was her ,it was her and she was unconscious.i tapoed her face to wake her but she didn't.

What have I done. I spoke to myself as I carried her to the infirmary.i made sure to use the deserted pavements so that no one would see me with her.especially not molly

I was told to wait outside as they performed a few tests on her.i wanted to leave as I was sure she was in good hands but the school policy forbade me.I sat there and after hours the school nurse told me I could get in to see her.

I did as told and it was very awkward.i sat next to the chair next to her bed .

"I'm sorry for hitting you with my ball I did not see you there.:"
That's all my stupid brain could come up with.she tried to but instead spoke up.
"Bucket"
I handed her the bucket and she emptied out her stomachs in it.i was about to ask if she was okay but the nurse beat me to it

Nurse::"mrs lee from my tests I dont think the hit from the ball was the reason for your unconsciousness. I think your pregnant.But for clarity it would be better you visit a proper hospital for more tests."

No that could not be true she couldn't be pregnant.i spoke to myself as I took in the words of the nurse.i didn't even want to think of the possibility that I was the responsible one for it.i had to be sure I needed answers and I needed them now.

I grabbed her hand and dragged her to the parking lot where my jeep was

Tessa::"where are you taking me?"she asked in the middle of tears.i hadn't even realised she was crying.i was so busy think of the what ifs and what not.

"To the hospital for proper tests."

Tessa::"I can go by myself please let go of my arm your hurting me"

"Do not give me that BS I'm coming with you"

I opened the door for her but she wouldn't get in.she finally for the first time looked me in the eyes.They were beautiful,dark brown chocolate eyes but they were sad and full of pain and tears.I finally let go of her hand.
"Please"i pleaded knowing she wouldn't understand the inner battle I was facing.she got In and we rushed to the hospital.

I paced around the hospital hallway as she underwent all tests and when she was called back in I rose n followed he.
She looked at me but I still followed her to the doctors office.

Doctor::"who are you to the patient "

"Boyfriend "
That was the only answer that would keep me in hear so I said it.i had to.

Doctor::"well mrs lee I'm glad your boyfriend supports you,his type is quite a rare species.Anyway congratulations to you too.your pregnant,three weeks."
