Never Okay|Sequel to Cigars and Cigarettes

Chapter 11

"Well, you don't look pregnant?"

"Gee, thanks" Mercedes said rolling her eyes

"At least I'm being positive." Shane wined

"And I'm not?"

"Well I don't see you jumping up and down or even putting in any effort. Have you even stopped drinking or smoking?"

"No......." Mercedes mumbled

"Let's at least see if there is anything wrong with it at least, than we would know whose fault it is..."

"Excuse me? Your not an angel is this situation anyway!"

"Can we just go, so that we can have some kind of game plan." Shane said grabbing his jacket

"Fine"

The car ride was pretty awkward, considering that we weren't even a couple and we might have a child together.

"So, how are you going to tell your dad?"

"I don't know haven't thought about it"

"I just wanna let you know that, if you want me to take the blame for Sam I will."

Mercedes kissed him on the cheek "thanks it means a lot"
Once we got to the doctors office. I wanted to go in alone, but Shane insisted that he should go in. Once we got into a room things got really quit. Than finally what felt like a hour, the doctor walked in.

"Are you the father?"

"Uh-" Mercedss winced

"Yes."

"Ok well from the results, when you were pregnant-"

"Where?"

"The baby's heart stopped beating about 48 hours ago, most of the time the mother can't feel it, I'm very sorry for your loss. If you want to talk to anyone, we have-"

"No,no I'm fine"

"Are you sure Mercedes?" Shane said standing up

"Ya, I'll be fine lets just go."

The car ride was quite again.

"You, have to tell Sam. You don't have to tell him about me, just about the baby."

"It was a boy. I know it was to early to tell, but I could feel it."

"If you wanna talk about it I'm here."

"Thanks, but I just need to be alone for awhile"

Once I got to Sam's dorm room I could feel by whole body shiver. I didn't know how he was going to react or anything, which is what scared chewed me to the bone.

*knock knock

"Hey where have you been all day?"

"Uh I came because I have to tell you something, can I come in?"

"Ya,ya and I wanna tell you something first."

"Okay" I said as I sat down

"I don't know if this makes a difference or make things worse between us, but for the past month or 2-"

"No, Sam I don't wanna know"

"Please."

"Ok"l

"For the past few months, I haven't been using protection-"

"Wait, what-"

"No,no please Mercedes listen, I was scared that after graduation you would leave and I thought that a baby would make you stay."

*Mercedes quick stood up and pulled her hand away from his
"Excuse me?"

"Look, look I know your mad-"

"Oh I'm not mad I'm furious with you. to top it off I'm not sure if I wanna ever see you again."

"Just wait Mercedes, what were you gonna-"

"You know what, it doesn't concern you anyway."
And I walked out, not looking back
