2 weeks later....

My sister Savannah is now with me for the whole weekend. I missed her so much, I don't know what I would do if she wasn't my sister, my ONLY sister.

So now I'm getting ready to go to the store to buy the test. Something I thought I would never see this early in life. So as usual, I take a shower, wash my hair (I only wash it twice a week), put gel in my hair, put my clothes on and lotion and perfume, makeup and I'm done.

I'm so nervous as I wait for my sister to finish getting ready that I start biting my fingernails that I told myself I was gonna grow out. As I hear her open the door, my head shot right up at her, OMG she looked soo pretty by just going to the store.

"Nana, we are going to the store, not a party" I say to her, rolling my eyes and smiling.
"I know we are, but you always have to be prepared. You might meet your first love at a store" she says back to me, giving a pose and a kissy face and laughs.
"Your ridiculous, can we just go" I tell her, grabbing my coat and waiting for her at the front door.
"Yes, hold on I have to put lipstick on" she says, not surprising me.
So all I do is roll my eyes and walk to the car.

The whole car ride we jammed to some songs by Sam Smith, Rihanna and Nicki Minaj until we reached the store. I walk inside and I go to the women supplies section of the store and find the pregnancy test. I lose my breath by just looking at it.
Just to get this over with, I buy it and walk to the car where my sister was waiting.

"I got the tests" I say in a nervous voice.

"Tests? You bought more than one?" She says surprisingly

"Yeah, I gotta make sure I'm positively pregnant or not" I say with a little sass in my voice.

"Okay" She looks at me and turns the car to head home.

At home..

So when we arrive to the driveway, we see my moms car still there.
"Damn it, she didn't go to work yet, I thought she would leave at 2:00 pm?" My sister asks me and looks my way and just gives me a stare, waiting for me to answer her.
"Yeah, about that, she canceled going to work today because she found out you were coming to visit so she called out. She said she wanted to 'spend time with her daughters' but she actually called out sick. And if I told you she was gonna call out, you would've never came, and I NEEED to know if I'm pregnant or not" I tell her giving her a fake smile.

"You know me well, but what are we gonna do? She's always in the kitchen or living room. She's probably waiting at the door for us to come in, cause i think she heard us coming into the driveway" she says as she puts her hands on her face as if she's washing her face.
"Ooo I got an idea. I'll go first and I'll walk fast inside into bathroom, I'll stick the bag in my shirt, nothing will be suspicious" I say with a big smile, feeling like the smartest person on earth.

I know my sister isn't feeling good about this, but she goes along with my idea, and that's just fine with me.

As I walk inside, I feel myself running. I'm running into the bathroom instead of speed walking. I'm making everything suspicious.... EVERYTHING.

'So obviously my noisy mother wants to ask why I'm running.. Parents these days. But then again, I might be a parent, but I'm gonna be a cool parent'

"What's wrong with Nevie? Why she running? Is everything okay?" Saying with her deep Dominican accent.

"Everything is fine mami" my sister says to her with annoyance in her voice while she's running up the stairs too.

As I am doing the test, I'm shaking and my heart is beating rapidly. It says to wait at least 2 minutes, so I wait 3. I do both tests at the same time so they can process, at the same time.
After watching the clock for 3 minutes exactly, my heart stops for a second. I'm to scared to look at it, so I give it to my sister.

She gives me those big wide eyes.

I'm pregnant, I have a person growing inside of me. I don't know if this is exciting or miserable. Am I gonna keep the baby or having an abortion or give it up for adoption. But I don't believe in that stuff. What am I gonna do? I don't have money for baby stuff, how am I gonna tell my mom? How am I gonna tell Nathan or Luis? My mind is filled with some many questions.

"What am I gonna do?" I ask my sister with a shaky voice and a tear coming down my face.
"I don't know sis, I really don't know" she says to me. She looks as scared as I am. She should tell my mom for me.
"I have to call my friend, I'm going to my room" I tell her while getting up off the floor, grabbing the tests and walking to my room with a wet shirt piled with tears.
So I call my friend
"Sianna" I say in a normal voice.
"Yeah girl, what's wrong? Were you crying? Is everything okay?" This is why she's my close friend. She knows how I feel without even looking at me.
"I'm pregnant. And Nathan's the father" I say in a shaky voice and start to cry, while wiping my tears off my face.
"Omg girl are you serious? How are you gonna tell him? Does your mom know?" She asks with loads of questions, that I seriously, do not want to answer at this moment.
"Yeah I'm serious, I wouldn't joke about this. I don't know how to tell him & no my mami don't know. But the problem is, I'm dating Luis, remember?" I tell her, reminding her I have a boyfriend back in NY.
"Oh shit, Luis, I forgot. Damn girl, if you need anything I'm right here" she says trying to comfort me, but it's really not helping.
"Thanks, but Sianna, IM FUCKING PREGNANT" I tell her in a loud voice hoping nobody heard me.
"Naveah?" I hear a familiar voice say my name. Not from the phone I have in my ear, but in my room. I'm too scared to turn around.

Is that Luis?

(Sorry I haven't been writing lately, I've been sick and a lot of things have been going on, schools back and blah blah. But I'll try to write as soon a possible. Thanks for reading my story, I'm a noobie so. Lol)
