hey guys i was thinking of writing a book, and can you please tell
me if you like it? thanks so much it means a lot.(:
(i dont have a name for
it yet)
“This can’t be
happening.” I said to myself as I stared down at the pink
pregnancy test that was sitting in my shaking hand. “No, no,
no, no! It has got to be wrong!” I reached into the box
filled with about three other tests and pulled one out.
Again I took the test, for the third time today. I knew the answer
wasn’t going to change, but I hoped, and prayed, that it
would. But no, resting there on my sink counter was probably the
only test I would ever pass on, and this time it was only good to
fail.
I fell to the ground, with so many thoughts running through my
head. “My parents will disown me.”, “What are my
friends going to think?”, “How am I going to raise a
child at age fourteen?”, “My life is over as I know
it.”
I laid down onto the floor and didn’t move, like a stone on
the ground, for what seemed like hours just thinking about all
these things. In the distance I could hear the sound of a car door
slamming, and feet walking up my deck. My parents were home.
I jumped up off the floor and shoved the tests back into the box
they came from. I looked at the trashcan, wondering if it would be
noticeable if I threw them away.
“Avery, we are home sweetie come downstairs.” Mom
sounded happy, which surprised me because she has not been able to
be happy in a long time.
I had no time, so I quickly ran through the small hallway into the
bedroom I shared with my younger brother, tossed the test under my
bed, and walked downstairs to see my mother and father standing at
the doorway.
Mom’s face looked bright today, and I could tell it had been
a good day for her. Her curly brown hair wasn’t pulled back
into a tight bun like it usually is, but just hanging down, looking
beautiful as it naturally is, which also showed her happiness,
since she normally pulled it back when she got stressed.
Even Dad, who almost never had a smile on his face, looked like he
had just heard the funniest joke of his life, as his grin was even
bigger than Mom’s.
“The store was amazing! We had a ton of sales. I knew buying
that add on the television would pay off.” Mom said with such
enthusiasm, it made me want to break down and cry knowing what I
was going to put her through.
“You should have been there Avery; I think a new person
walked in every five seconds.” Dad sounded even happier than
Mom did. “We are going to celebrate by going out to dinner,
go put on nice clothes; we will be leaving in an hour.”
Mom and Dad walked away from me towards the living room, and I
slowly trudged up the stairs. I wanted to be happy for them, but
the only thing I could think of was that little positive sign on
the pregnancy test.
