The Thompson Legacy (Not Continuing)

Chapter 4

Oakley P.O.V.

It's Wednesday morning and the day has already started off to a weird start. I woke up before my mom came and knocked on my door which is really weird for me. I also didn't have morning sickness right away like usual. I rushed to get dressed in a cute blue and purple maxi dress since I had been thinking about everything instead of getting ready.

Just like yesterday, as soon as I stepped foot in the door, everyone was staring at me like I was some sort of alien. I sure am thankful that I'm not showing yet. What will they do when I start showing? I need to stop worrying and focus on things and people who matter. I walked over to my locker to get my book and notebooks that I needed for the day. I already had my lunch, computer, charger, phone, and pencil bag in my backpack, so it was starting to get a little heavy before I added the book and notebooks. I need to find a way to lighten the load. I see Derek and Lily coming this way and smile at them. I'm really glad that I didn't lose all of my friends, just most of them.

At lunch, I sat down at my usual table with my two friends that stayed. I wonder if Alex will stay friends with me? He has no idea I'm pregnant, with him being out of town and all. I hope he does. My mom packed my lunch today, with carrots, a turkey and cheese sandwich, an apple, and a chocolate chip cookie. Immediately after I opened the sandwich container I felt nauseous. I sprinted to the bathroom and barely made it in time. I guess the baby doesn't like turkey or something. Lil came in a couple of minutes later.

"Oaks are you okay? I packed up the rest of your lunch for you and Derek got your backpack. Also, he is outside and worrying about you like usual." She said with concern in her voice.

"Yeah Lil, I'm okay. The smell just made me nauseous. I thought I should run in here in case I did throw up, which I did. Thank you so much for getting my lunch and that's nice of him!" I said reassuringly.

"I'm really glad you are okay. This is going to be a rough nine months I presume."

"Yes it is Lily, but having you and Der here for me is what is going to keep me sane, well, and getting to meet my little angel."

"Your baby will be so loved by us! I got my license yesterday! If you need to go anywhere I can bring you." I got out of the stall, wiped my face off, and rinsed my mouth with water. I wish I had some gum or mints or something.

"That's exciting!! I'm so close to getting my license. Thank you so much! I actually do need to go somewhere in the next few weeks." Lil is such a sweet friend! Derek would have offered too. I'm glad they stood by my side through everything. "Alright, just let me know when and where," she replied. I grabbed my bag and exited the bathroom with my best friend. I asked Derek and Lily if either of them had a mint or gum or something to change my horrible smelling breath. Derek gave me a piece of gum, thankfully. I hugged them both to show how thankful I was for them. I still have no idea how I'm going to tell my parents and family, but at least I know that I will always have my best friends.

By the end of the day, I was exhausted and just wanted to go to sleep. When I got home I went straight to my room and changed into some soft, fuzzy pajama pants and a white tank top. Suddenly I hear a knock on my door, it's Noah asking if we could talk. I went and opened the door to let him in. As I  closed the door he sat down at my desk chair. His face showed that he needed to talk about something serious. I sat down on the edge of my bed and asked him what was wrong.

"Oakley, I heard some rumors at school and have had people mention and ask me if you were pregnant. I didn't know what to say I was stunned and shocked as to why they would think that because my little sister wouldn't be having sex at 15." I sat there for a few minutes astonished and speechless by the words that came out of his mouth.

"Well, Oakley, are you going to deny that you're pregnant or confirm it?" He impatiently asked me.

"Noah, I don't know what to say, to be a hundred percent honest with you. Unfortunately, the news that you heard is true. I haven't told the family yet because I have no idea how to break the news to them." I honestly told him.

"You need to tell them as soon as possible. I can't believe you would be so reckless. I'm disappointed in you, but I will always support you. As long as you're not getting an abortion."

"I would never get one Noah! I know I need to tell them." After I said that he left my room and I just sat there for a while until I texted Alex. I asked him if he heard anything from the people at school and that I needed to tell him some news.

I didn't go to dinner or to church today, I told mom I was feeling well. She just assumed I was getting sick. I went to my desk, got my computer and notebooks, and started my homework. This is so boring, why do I need to learn stupid math anyways? I won't use it!

Once I finished my homework, I made my lunch for the next day and packed my backpack. It's only 8 o'clock, but today has been overwhelmingly exhausting so it's time for bed.
