The secret

Test

I was the first one awake.
I quietly showered and went into my room to change.

I started to feel nauseous and I groaned, I rushed to my bathroom and threw up into the toilet.

Oh no, I can't be sick. First day of college is tomorrow...

I heard footsteps rushed to me and soon enough hands held my hair back.

"Oh, baby. Are you okay?" I heard Lauren's raspy morning voice.

I groaned and quickly shut the toilet lid when I was finished.

"I'm fine Lo..." I said as I realized we ran out of toothpaste.

I squatted down and grabbed some from the lower cabinet. I saw a box of tampons and froze.

When was my last period... I quickly grabbed my phone and checked my period tracker.

"What's wrong, babe?" Lauren asked.

"I'm late." I said as I saw that I was already supposed to be two days into my period.

"What do you mean, you're late?" Lauren questioned.

I brushed it off thinking there's no way I could be pregnant as I brushed my teeth.

Once I wiped my mouth, Lauren grabbed my phone.
"Y-You Don't think...."

I shook my head. "There's no way, Lauren. Camila always uses condoms, and when I was with Demi we used condoms." I said and immediately walked out.

"But ba-"

"No, Lauren. It's just a bug." I said as I went downstairs to see Camila cooking breakfast.

I smiled, but once the scent of eggs hit my nose I gagged and rushed to the bathroom, dry heaving.

Lauren was right behind me in a split second, holding my hair back.

I groaned and once I finished she lifted me up and helped me wash my mouth out.

"But babe, if your period's late when it's usually regular, you could be... we should at least get you a test to be sure..." Lauren said.

"Fine Laur, but we won't tell Camila any of this unless it's positive. Got it." She nodded and headed off to the store.

I sat down in the living room and watched some tv when Camila came over and brought me some toast and bacon.

"Hey, Baby. Lauren told me you weren't feeling well. Are you okay?" Camila said as she sat down with me.

"I'm fine Camz. It's just a bug." I smiled at her and kissed her cheek.

I ate with Camila cuddled into my side. We shared bits of food until Lauren came in.

She gave me a look and I smiled at Camila. "I'll be right back babe, I gotta go to the bathroom." I pecked her lips and grabbed the box from Lauren before going into the bathroom and taking the two tests.

I set them on the counter and washed my hands when I was finished.

After a few minutes I checked them and was confused.

Lauren walked in and saw them. "I'm setting you up an appointment with my doctor so you can get proper testing."

"What? Lauren! Just because one's positive doesn't mean I'm pregnant!" I whisper shouted at her.

"And just because one's negative, doesn't me you're not!" She shouted back at me, making me storm out of the room and the house, frustrated.

I could hear Camila shouting after me but I didn't stop, I ran to the beach, far away from where we lived and sat down, tearing up.

God, please help me... help us....
