The Story of Us

"This is literally the tenth test you've taken!" Said Gianna as she snatched the unopened light purple EPT box from my hands which glistened with sweat and shook uncontrollably. I felt like my heart would rip through my oversized Giants pink Jersey as it pounded over and over again.

"Where'd you buy this shit at? The drug store down maple avenue? You know them pregnancy test be wrong all the time. They be giving everyone who takes them the same results" said Gianna as she tried to consolidate me.

"I got these from the school nurse," I sniffled as tears streamed down my cheeks. "I told her about the vomiting. The headaches. Everything. And she told me to takes these test a couple times to be sure."

Gianna bit down on her bottom lip in anxiety as she stepped out of the crammed bathroom and paced around the hallway.

"G, you're scaring me!"

"Girl you SHOULD be scared...you're having a baby!" Gianna shouted as more tears poured down my face.

"And not just any baby...Danny CAMPBELL'S baby. You already know how those Pam Hill boys feel about us Westbrooks!" Shouted Gianna as tears began to fall from her cheeks too.
