The Thompson Legacy (Not Continuing)

Chapter 1

Oakley P.O.V.

  Seven Months Ago.......

Two lines.

Two. Freaking. Lines.

We used protection.

This can not be happening.

I'm 15 for goodness sake I can't have a kid! The happiness that should be running through my veins is nowhere to be found. Only the terror of telling my parents I'm pregnant, I'm going to have to run away. Calm down Oakley it'll be okay. Everything happens for a reason. Right? God wouldn't give me something I couldn't handle. Right? My parents are going to kill me. What am I going to do? Being raised in a strict Baptist household I'm not even supposed to have sex before marriage! How do I tell Matthew? He should be the first one to know, I mean it is his child after all. I texted Matthew that we needed to seriously talk.

Matthew

M: Yes we do need to talk Oakley.

I have some interesting news to tell you :O

M: Oakley I think that we need to umm...

M: Break up                                                                                          

Matthew I'm pregnant with your child :O 

M: YOU'RE PREGNANT                                                          

You're breaking up with me? OVER TEXT! Yes, I'm pregnant. :O

Ughhhh I can't believe that he would be such a jerk to me! Where am I supposed to put the pregnancy test now? What am I supposed to do now?How did I get myself into this mess? Suddenly, I hear my mom yell that it's time for dinner. Noah, Atticus, and Bonnie went running downstairs before I even came out of my room.

During dinner, we prayed for our food and talked about all of our days. My mom asked Noah what his plans were for his future after high school. I'm glad she didnt ask me, I have no idea. I also have no idea how I am going to tell them I'm pregnant. They're going to disown me! I don't know what I will do then. I need to stop thinking negatively, everything will be fine. I need to text my best friend Lily, she'll know what to do, she always does.

Suddenly, I feel my phone buzzing and it's Lily calling me, thank goodness! I excused myself from the table and went to my room. Once I answered the call, she immediately asks me what's going on. My eyes start to tear up and my voice begins to crack as I tell her I don't know what happened. Of course she didn't know what I was talking about. 

"Oaks why are you crying? What are you talking about? Did Matthew hurt you again?"

 "I'm pregnant Lily" I say in distress after taking a few deep breaths. 

"Omg, Oakley your pregnant? How did this happen? What did Matthew do now?" 

"Lil you know how these things happen. We used protection though. I told him that we needed to talk and he was saying that we do. He broke up with me over text! WHO DOES THAT!?" She then told me that I deserved better than Matthew and asked what I wanted to do about the baby. I'm not really sure what I want to do about the baby, but I know I can't have an abortion, so I need to tell my parents. And that is what I told my best friend.

After talking to my bestest best friend for a while I calmed down. She has always been able to calm me down even when we were younger. We have been friends for many years, but not as many years as I have been friends with my guy best friend Derek. I've been friends with him since birth, Lily and I became friends when we were in Kindergarten.

I decide the best thing to do is get some sleep. It's been a long day and I have no idea what I'm going to do, like tell my parents. Sighing, I push the thoughts out of my head as best I can and change into my pajamas before laying in my bed and letting sleep take over me.

When I wake up, my mind floods with the memories from last night. The pregnancy test. The breakup. It is Monday morning and I don't want to get out of bed. I especially don't want to have to see Matthew and deal with his ego right now. I seriously can't believe that I stayed with that jerk for such a long time. Groaning I lay back in bed when my mom knocks on my door and tells me it's time to start the day. My morning sickness began to kick in, I immediately ran into the bathroom connected to my room that I share with my little sister Bonnie. After I got back from the bathroom I began to get ready for school, so I put on my legging and purple hoodie to make sure no one suspects anything.

Once we arrive at school, I see Lily, Louise, and Derek by our lockers talking. I wonder if she told them that I'm pregnant. No, she wouldn't share a secret like that about me. Why am I doubting my best friend? I've never done that before. I went to my locker to talk to them. Lily didn't bring up the whole me being pregnant thing, thankfully. By the time we finished catching up on what we did last weekend the five minute bell rang and it was time to go. Class was boring like usual, I got a ton of homework like usual, and I was extremely grateful that I got a break during lunch.

Lunch started and straight away I see Matthew, in his usual jeans and Futurama tee, headed over to the table my friends and I were at. I tried to not make eye contact with him, but I could feel his piercing eyes staring at me, wanting to talk. "Oakley we need to talk about what you told me yesterday," he said as he strutted over. Ughhh why does he have to come over here? "Matthew I don't want to talk to you about anything." "Oakley I will say what we talked about out loud unless you talk to me." He said with a hint of aggression. "Fine, Matthew we will go to a coffee shop or something after school, now go away. I will text you." I replied with hostility clear in my voice. He nodded his head and blessedly walked away. A couple hours later, I texted Matthew that we would meet at Casa Latte, the local coffee shop, at 4 o'clock.

At Casa Latte, I see Matthew sitting at a cute circular table with flowers on it by the door. He looked like he was in distress. I went to the counter and ordered a blueberry muffin then went to the table. We sit there in an awkward silence for a few minutes. This is so awkward, I guess I should say something."Matthew you wanted to talk about you know what, so talk." The next thing he said shocked me.
