Juliana broke down in tears. She didn't try and mute her cries; she allowed them to ring through the house loud and clear. This wasn't happening. It couldn't. How was she pregnant? She was still a...
"The party." She breathed heartbrokenly. She had gotten so drunk that she... No. Juliana pushed the thought from her mind.
A loud banging on the door made Juliana twist around suddenly. Her breath hitched in her throat.
"Jules, what's wrong? Open the door!" Juliana quickly set the test behind the toilet before unlocking the door with a shaky hand. Her friends barged in with worried looks displayed on their faces.
"Oh honey! What happened?" Amanda cooed, getting on her knees and pulling Juliana into her arms. Juliana shook as she cried and tried to catch her breath. She sniffled and wiped away the tears with the back of her hand.
"It's horrible. It's just horrible!" Juliana sobbed.
"What's horrible?" Amanda asked as she rubbed Juliana's back. Kamerine surveyed the room carefully in the background, not making a sound.
"I.. I'm..."
"You're pregnant." Kamerine spoke. Both Juliana and Amanda's heads snapped to focus on Kamerine.
She stood between the toilet and the tub, the pink test in her hand. Juliana bit her lip and nodded.
"Oh honey, how? When? What happened?" Amanda asked. Kamerine snickered from behind us.
"Amanda, you know very well how it happened." Amanda blushed and then Juliana steadied her breath slightly.
"It was the party. I got really drunk and I... I didn't have any control over my actions. I barely even remember who..." She swallowed roughly, not wanting to think about it.
"Oh Jules, you'll be okay. I promise." Kamerine comforted her friend.
"Did you guys see me at all that night?" Juliana asked. Both of her friends nodded.
"Who was I with?" Amanda and Kamerine gave each other a nervous glance.
"What is it? You guys need to tell me." Juliana pleaded.
Kamerine took Juliana's hand in hers and gave her a sad look.
"I'm sorry, Jules." She spoke solemnly.
"For what? Tell me who it was? This is the father of my child!" She placed her free hand in her still flat abdomen and felt another tear slip down her cheek.
"Jay Wilson." Amanda spoke. Juliana's breath snagged in her throat.
"What about him?" She asked, praying to God that it wasn't what she thought she meant.
"We saw you and Jay together at the party. You guys seemed, er, close." Kamerine spoke.
"No.." Juliana breathed.
"Jay Wilson is your baby daddy." Amanda confirmed. Juliana let one more tear fall before something in her changed. Sitting here and crying wasn't going to change anything.
She needed to approach him.
