This is me.
chapter two
"Why's Emmie so eagar to leave this place?" Mom asks me. "I don't know, just think she's desperate for a fresh start." "Mmh, something's going on Katelyn," mom was convinced the whole car drive to the airport something was fishy with Emmie.
It was normal for a fourteen year old girl to want to forget her forbidded past, right? Nobody want's to latch on to or cling onto the fact dad left us for that idiot.
"You're talking about me," Emmie said. "I'm sitting back here, y'no?" she said. Mom didn't really care. "Maybe she's had an argument with Casey." "MOM!?" Emmie said and mom chuckled. "What's the matter Emmie?" she asked looking back at Emmie for a second, then repositioning her eyes on the road.
"Nothing," Emmie mumbled a bit too quickly and that's when my suspicions arouse. "Whats wrong, then? Did Casey have an argument with you?" "No," she snapped.
Yeah, something was definitely going on. "Emmie please tell me," I pleaded doing my puppy-dog eye look. She found it hard to resist so turned to look out the window. I stayed in place and she peeked back at me to see if I weren't looking, but when she saw my piercing eyes she turned to the outside world.
After a few minutes, she peeked again. "WHAT!?" she yelled at me. "What's wrong, Emmie?" I asked.
"I told you, alright!? NOTHING, and that means NOTHING is wrong!" Something was obviously wrong. "Did Casey die?" she shook her head. "Did your boyfriend split up with you?" she didn't shake her head, she just sobbed. "Oh Emmie - I'm so sorry!" I climbed in the back with Emmie. "Gosh Katelyn - you shouldn't just climb like that, I could've crashed." I hugged Emmie.
"That's not the problem, though," she sobbed harder. What could possibly be - then it hit me.
She was pregnant?
"No -?" she nodded and cried into my shoulder. "Sorry Kate I didn't, I wasn't -" she cried. "Shh now," "What's wrong?" mom asked looking in the mirrors at me and Emmie. Emmie looked at me pleadingly. "Uh - Reese broke up with Emmie," "Oh no my poor baby!"
