Fall'n For The New Guy | | Harrison Reid

Chapter Eighty Eight

We get to the store and I buy the best pregnancy test they have out of the tons they have on the shelf. We get two just in case one is broken or something, Harrison never noticed that I did.

I wanted to the test at Harrison's parents place.

I look out the windshield blankly.

Harrison looks over at me quickly while he drives. "Tess you alright?"

"Hm?" I look at him, as he bowl looks at the road.

"Are you alright?"

"Oh. Yeah I'm okay." I smile

He looks over at me searching my face. "You sure?" He asks looking forward again.

"Mhm." I smile and turn my head to look out the window my smile falling.

"I'll help with the baby, I will never leave you. I will quit my traineeship if I have too."

That's the problem.....I don't want you have to quit..because of me and the baby.... I think to myself, "I know..." I tell him

I feel his hand fall on my leg his thumb rubbing on my leg.

I breathe a shakey breath.

I get into the bathroom after the amount of water I drank half an hour ago.

I take the stick with me bring the extra which are in my purse so I bring it as well.

I take the lid off and pee on it. I pop the lid back on and then finish.

After I watch my hands, I put the lid down on the toilet and sit on it. I wait for the result hoping I'm not pregnant but part of me wants to be.

My phone alarm goes off and I stop it. My hands shake as I grab the stick. I look at the two pink lines on the screen. My breath hitches. No...nono. I can't be.

I hear a knock on the door. "You okay in there Tess?" Harrison asks me from the other side of the door.

I sniffle a bit, "Y-Yeah. I'm good."

"Okay. If you need anything just call me over."

"O-Okay."

I wipe my tears away I frantically look in my purse for the yellow cuticle oil. I grab the new box that has the un used pregnancy test in it.

I take it out of the box and take the lid off. I drop a few drops of cuticle oil on the paper test tab so it looks like I've peed on it. I sniffle again putting the lid back on the test stick. My eye leak with tears, I wipe them away with my arm.

I quickly put the positive test in the box and get my eyelash glue out that I never really use anymore but still have in my purse forgetting to take it out.

I squeeze the glue on the bottom lip of the opened box and then close the other one over top of it. I hold it down for a few seconds letting it dry. Making it look like it was never opened. Tears fall down my face.

I look at the test with the oil on the strip and it only has one bold pink line. Saying that I'm not pregnant.

I put the newly sealed box in my purse I zip in closed. I get up and look in the mirror and dab my eyes with a pieced toilet paper.

I blow my nose and breathe in having a plan for all of this.

Harrison will see that I'm "Not Pregnant" he'll believe it when he sees it. I'm going to keep the other box in my purse making sure no one sees it, because if I put it in the garage they'll see.

Then once I get back to Sydney I'll....get an abortion. I don't want to ruin Harrison's future of being a lifeguard, I know that he'll quit his traineeship to be with me too care for me and the baby.

I throw away the tear soaked toilet paper in the garage. I take the fake test leaving the bathroom. I walk down the hall to see Harrison leaning on the railing. As soon as he sees me he pushes off the glass and metal railing.

"So?" He asks nodding his head towards the stick in my hand. I give it to him.

"I'm not pregnant."

"But...." He frowns at it with question.

"It could've just been cuz I was so jet legged. Or maybe because of the heat stroke I had??"

He scratches the back of his head looking at it. "I was sure....my mum was sure...."

"Well. Sometimes it happens. But I'm not pregnant!" I smile, I move my looking at him. "This is a good thing yes?" I ask

"Y-Yeah. It is I guess." He says

"Well who's gonna tell your mom?" I ask

"I guess I can...." He says

"Alright. Well let's have a fun for the next Day okay?"

"Yeah, let's go do that."

I give him a smile and I hold his hand, we go down the stairs.

We all hangout out on the balcony and we get to know more of each other.

And of course I get to know more of Harrison's story's from when he was only a lil boy.

Maddie, Harrison's dogo, sits on my lap. Everyone is surprised at this as, Harrison told me, that Maddie most of the time doesn't sit on people's laps other then Kevin's and Kb. Maddie hasn't forgiven that Harrison left her.

I pet her soft curly fur. I bet she can sense that I'm pregnant. I think to myself.

Harrison told his mum that I'm not pregnant and she looked pretty relieved.

Well technically it will be true after I get the abortion..
