Divergent: 16 & Pregnant

Chapter 9: Confused

*Tris Pov*

2 weeks later

I groan as I clutch my stomach. I flip over in bed. I have been up since 4 am with these stomach pains. 

I don't know what it is but I know that I couldn't sleep at all. I have been drinking ginger ale all day at it's not working. 

It's time for school now and it's wednesday. I go take a long shower to relieve some of this nausea. 

When I am out of the shower I feel a little bit better. I lay out my uniform and start on my hair. I straighten my hair and now that it is starting to get colder I put on dark blue tights and then my uniform. 

I put on mascara, eyeliner, and a little lip gloss. I go downstairs and try to eat a little bit of food which is a granola bar but I start to feel sick again. So I grab a bottle of ginger ale and then head out not bothering to say goodbye.

I am sitting in English working on this worksheet with Christina since we needed partners when my stomach starts to churn again. I get up and walk to the front of the classroom. 

""Mr. Jones can I go to the bathroom please?" I ask and he nods handing me a pass. I hurry to the bathroom.  Once I get in I let out a sigh of relief that no one is in here. I hurry to the toilet and puke my guts out. I walk out thinking that I am done but then it hits me again. I run back into the stall and puke again. Once I finish I flush the toilet and then wash my mouth out. I pull out a quater I found in my cardigan and I push it in the despiner making a mini tooth brush and tooth paste. That is how good our school is. 

I hurry and take care of my busniess and throw away the items. I just lean against the counter crying. I think I am pregnant...

I am sitting against a tree outside the school. It's still on school grounds just far away. Tobias is with me and my head is in his lap. Every since I got sick in 5th period I have had a horrible headache. Like now. 

"Are you okay?" He asks me running a hand through my hair that is now in a ponytail. I nod slightly and close my eyes. 

"I just have a headache" I say taking the gum out of my mouth putting it in a napkin. 

He leans down and kisses me on the mouth. I wrap my arms around him pulling him down to be closer. He smiles through the kiss when I run my fingers through his hair. We pull back a while and just watch the puff clouds in the sky. 

After a while we are going back inside to go to our study hall where I just sleep while listening to music. 

When we are dismissed I go straight home, change and go to sleep.

It has been a whole week of misery. Puking, headaches, sleeping. The same routine. 

Right now I am in my bathroom with Christina telling her about my week. 

"Well....Like I told you my mom put me on birth control...and that same week me and Four....you know....got it on....after our date and I asked him about protection but he knew I was on the pill so he asked and I told him yeah I am but I could tell that he really didn't want to use one...So we just did it...shouldn't the pill be kicked in around that time if I took it that monday....Right?" I ask. 

"Um...I don't know Tris....They say you are supposed to wait 2 weeks" She says and I groan bending down and placing my head on her shoulder. She is sitting in front of the toilet and I am sitting on top of the toilet. 

"Well Tris....this is why they invented these" Christina holds up a pregnancy test and goes to sit on the edge of my tub. I look at the instructions and take a big gulp of vitamin water that Christina brought me. When I have the urge to use the bathroom I pull my pants down and pee. Christina is like my sister I never had so I'm sure she is not uncomfotable....I know I'm not. She isn't even paying attention. She is on her phone texting Shauna. 

I stand up placing the test on the edge of the counter then flush the toilet and wash my hands. I put the lid down and sit down. 

"2 minutes" Christina says putting a timer on her phone. 

 When the timer beeps. I turn over the test like ripping off a bandaid and it says...positive. 

I burst into tears and hug Christina. 

"Here maybe that one was wrong...take this one" She hands me a different brand and pee on it. I flip it over when it is time and gasp. 

"Oh $hit it's just like the last one" I say and fanning it hoping it would change. 

Nope still two lines. 

"What am I going to do Christina I can't have a baby" I say 

"Crap....How are you going to tell Four....Wait how are you going to tell your parents." 

I take a deep breath. 

"I'm not telling my parents because I don't want my dad to kill Four and I will have to tell Four at some point"  I shake my head and burst into tears again. 

"Tris honey are you okay?" Mom knocks on my bedroom door and I stand up. 

"Yeah mom. Just watching The Fault In Our Stars" I say

"Oh Okay! How do you feel?"

"Still a little sick can you make me some ginger tea?" I ask and I can hear her feet going down the steps. 

"Oh goodness...I can't believe that I am pregnant..." I say

"Well at least it's Four's that mean you guys are going to have a cute baby....and Four has bank so he can suppourt both of you...plus your boobies are going to be bigger than they already are..." Christina says and I glare at her. 

"Is that all you are getting out of this situation?"

"Sorry"

I just lean back. I thought this year was suppoused to be a good year. I guess not.
