It wasn't everyday that a baby was born on the island, it was rare actually. All the older couples had settled down and had kids of their own who were going into their teenage years or going off to collage. Almost everyone on the island knew eachother so if someone was to have a baby everyone would know, especially if it was a kook.
It wasn't everyday that a teenager on the island had a baby. One that had a good reputation, and was expected to go off to collage with all the other kids that summer.
"Knocked up at 16?" Your brother asked staring at you with ou're shock.
"Yeah" you nodded tears brimming in your eyes.
"What the fuck!" He screeched.
"Can you shut up?" You panicked dragging him into the bathroom closing the door behind you.
"Mom and dad aren't gonna be happy you know that?"
"And who's the dad?" He asked bombarding you with questions.
It was all overwhelming and too much to take it so quickly. You knew your parents weren't going to take it well and based of your brothers reaction there's was going to be way worse.
You knew who the dad was too. He was a pogue, you met him one night at a kegger on the beach. You didn't quite catch his name but every one knew him as "the guy that pulled a gun on Topper" you didn't blame him though topper was an asshole.
Your parents had always warned you to not go out to the parties that were held as they didn't want you to make the same mistake they did. They also had you at a young age and always reminded you of how you should try and settle with a job and get a house before getting a boyfriend or having kids. But that's exactly what you did, exactly what they didn't want you too.
As soon as you told your parents the news practically spread like wildfire. You eventually stopped going to school making everyone even more suspicious. They just knew it as a "rumour". And once one of the kooks found out it was game over.
You had become the most talked about on the island and it sucked. Half of the time you didn't leave the house. The looks you would get from people your age or the adults would make you feel terrible. You always tried to brush it off but it really became a problem when your bump started growing.
You were currently out at the store with your mom picking up some last minute things, like diapers and bottles. You wore an oversized hoodie to hide your bump as much as you could and a pair of leggings. It wasn't your usual outfit but it's what you had to start wearing.
"Hey y/n" You heard a voice behind you.
"Long time no see" you turned to see a boy with blonde messy hair. You had learned that this was JJ also the guy from the beach, also the guy you hooked up with.
"Hey JJ" you smiled. "What are you doing here?" You asked.
"Oh just picking up some stuff" he answered. "We're holding a kegger on the beach all the pogues will be there if you want to come"
Despite being a kook you got along with some of the pogues. You weren't as close with some but you knew of most of them.
"Oh urm I don't think I can sorry" you said sighing.
"What how come?" He asked. "It feels like forever sinse I've seen you and I would love to introduce you to some of my friends" he practically begged.
"JJ we met once and we both know how that ended" you said walking down the baby isle.
"Yeah you're right I'm sorry" he sighed. "I just thought maybe after what happened you'd stick around and we could've went somewhere. You seemed really nice but I guess you're just like the others" he mumbled.
"Don't say that" you said quietly. It hurt hearing that, the stereotype of a kook was always held against you when it came to making friends on the cut. Your hormones were all over the place too and your eyes began to well with tears.
"I would but I can't I'm kind of carrying a child" you blurted out.
"You're what?" He stopped dead looking at you.
" It doesn't matter I've got to go" you said walking towards the checkout.
Jj obviously didn't hear from the numerous people that knew you honestly thought he would've by now.
"Y/n Wait" he called catching up with you. "Is it mine?" He questioned looking down at you. You didny answer you didn't want to answer. "y/n I said is it mine?" He asked again. You could hear the frustration in his voice.
"Not here JJ" you said looking down.
"Meet me at the wreck at 8" he said and quickly left.
You could tell he was scared and you knew you should've told him sooner. This certainly wasn't the way you wanted him to find out and it was probably the worst way he possibly could've.
But he knew now. A weight was lifted of your shoulders and it felt somewhat good knowing that he knew.
8pm rolled around and you made you your way out of the house leaving to meet JJ. Hopping in the car you drive to the wreck. There weren't that many people there when you pulled up, quickly parking the car and getting out.
Making your way inside you were met with the familiar smell of freshly cooked food. It had been a while sinse you had been to the wreck and it felt good to be back.
You looked around and saw JJ sat in a booth in the far corner of the restaurant. You made your way over to him.
"Hey" you said as you slipped in next to him. "I'm sorry about this morning i didn't mean for you to find out like that and I-"
"Hey no no stop" he said cutting you off. "It's okay" he said with a slight smile.
"I know it can be nervewracking so I kind of understand why you didn't tell me" he spoke softly. "But be honest with me please were you going to?" He asked looking at you.
"I don't know JJ I was scared and I was nervous but that shouldn't have stopped me from telling you" you said looking up at him. "And I'm still scared" you admitted.
"You might not want to be apart of his life and I get why you wouldn't want to be you have your life ahead of you and I don't want to get in the way of that" you finished.
"His?" He asked
"Yeah" you smiled. "It's a boy"
"I want to be apart of his life. I might not seem ecstatic and over the moon but trust me I'm happy. I want to be there for you and my boy" he smiled.
