Chapter 31: Helping a friend

It was in the morning and I was at school. Classes hadn't started yet so I was waiting at my locker for Lexi to come like we always do. Where is she? I pulled out my phone and called her. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Hi you've reached Lexi! Leave a message and- "Aah! It's no use", I huffed. DING! That was the warning bell, better get my stuff ready. I grabbed my purse and threw it around my shoulder when I saw Lexi walk in. "Hey stranger! Avoiding me much?", I said and she went up to me.

"Isabelle Dallas I need help", she said with fear. "What? Why?" She looked as if she were about to cry. "I think I might be pregnant", she whispered. "What? Do you know?" "No and that's why I need you to help me take this test", she said holding up her bag. DING! "Lexi that's the- "Please Isabelle", she pleaded. "Okay fine let's just make this quick", I said and we walked to the bathroom. There was no one in there and we went in the big handicap stall.

"I brought seven", she said and we placed them on the ground. "Okay ready?", I asked her. She took a deep breath. "Ready", she said.

~Seven Test Later~

"No no no! This can't be happening", she said as she cried into my chest. "It's okay I'll be there for you, your parents will be there for, and I bet Jim will be there for you", I said. Her eyes widened. "No you can't tell Jim! He'll kill me", she said and I looked at her. "Hello anybody here?", we heard a teacher say. We kept quiet and heard her walk out. "What time is it?", she said getting out the stall and throwing away tests.

I pulled out my phone and looked at the time. "Oh my God Lexi! Schools almost over in thirty seconds", I said and put a test in my purse and we ran out the bathroom. We ran out the back doors and into the football field. We stopped to take a breath. "Lexi don't tell anyone about the pregnancy yet okay?", I told her and she nodded. Then we separated ways to home.

When I walked in the house I faced an angry Nash and Cameron and a Hayes on the couch. "What's wrong guys?", I said sitting down. "Isabelle why did the school call me and ask where you were?", he said and I gulped. "It was either you ditched school or you were sick but you look perfectly fine", he said. "I did go to school, I was just not in classes", I said scrunching in my eyebrows. "And why not?", he asked.

"I had to help a friend with something", I said and Hayes rolled his eyes. "I'll tell you why?! She was with Lexi and she found out she was pregnant", he said. "What?!", we all screamed. "I'm not pregnant!", I yelled at him. "Oh really?", he said and dumped my purse out and everyone saw- my phone, my wallet, my twix bar (I've been looking for that!) , my notebook, my lip balm, my mini cupcake eraser, and the test. "Isabelle", Cameron said. "It's not mine", I said. "It says positive", Nash said. "But it's not mine!", I yelled.

"Isabelle really?", Cameron said. "Can't you hear?! I said it's not mine! My friend needed help and she's pregnant that's her test! I forgot to throw it away and now your believing some idiot that raped me two years ago!", I yelled. "So Lexi's pregnant?", Hayes said. "Dammit!", I yelled and ran upstairs. Then I went back into the living room and grabbed my twix bar and went back upstairs.
