A Week Later...
I sat on the couch in my room, watching baseball with
Tyler when my phone buzzed. I glanced at the screen and
Abby's name appeared.
Abby: Hey Payton! <3
Payton: Hey Abby. Hows it going with Emmett ;)
Abby: Gr8, he asked me out last night and he kissed me,
ahhhh! So happy right now :)
Payton: Omg! So glad for you babe <3 Just tell him
not to hog my bestie :)
Abby: I'm waiting for you to tell Tyler that! Your
always with him :(
Payton: I'm sorry it's just you know he wanted
to be with me and I just can't say no to him
Abby: Fine :(
Payton: Anyways could I ask you something? I'm sure
it's nothing but it's weird.
Abby: Yeah sure anything <3
Payton: What's the latest you've been on your
period?
Abby: A day. Why, how long have you been late?
Payton: A few days. I'm never late should I be
worried?
Abby: O_o Wait a min. Pay, didn't you and Tyler do
things after the party?
Payton: Yeah so?
Payton: You don't think I might be pregnant do
you?!
Abby: Oh god. I hope not. I'm going to kick
Tyler's baseball playing butt. Did he use
protection?
Payton: Obviously not, why else would I be worried?!
Abby: Okay okay sorry Pay, I will be right there
i'm going to CVS, getting pregnancy test 4 u, stay
tight love <3
Payton: Okay thankyou c u soon
I put my phone in my lap and glanced at Tyler. What was
I thinking? I wasn't ready, I shouldn't have
done it with him. Oh god. If i'm pregant, my life
is over. Would Tyler leave me? He said he loved me but
does he love me enough to have a baby so young? I'm
not ready to be a mother! There's always abortion
or adoption. Or maybe i'm not pregnant. Maybe
i'm just over-reacting and i'm just a little
late on my period. It's nothing to worry about. All
these thoughts raced through my mind, filling my head
with fear. I felt like I was going to pass out any
minute.
"T-tyler?" He turned and looked at me
worridly when he saw my pale face.
"Payton, Payton what's wrong?!"
"Don't worry about it j-"
"Don't worry about it?! Payton how can I not
worry about you, I love you. I don't want anything
to happen to you."
"That answered my question." My stomach
turned and I ran to the bathroom in the bedroom. I
locked the door to keep Tyler out and I sat near the
toliet. I felt my face turn pale and I threw up in the
toliet. Lovely. If I wasn't pregnant what was this?
"Payton, babe, are you okay? Open the door."
"No Tyler, i'm fine. Just stay there don't
worry."
"Payton open the door!" I sighed and flushed
the toliet then brushed my teeth before opening the
door.
"What happened?"
"Nothing."
"Payton come on, I know when you lie to me. Are
you having a bad day, are you on your period or
something?" I groaned and looked up at him.
"No. That's the problem."
"What are you talking about?"
"I think I-" Thankfully, I was cut off by the
sound of the doorbell downstaires.
"Um, be right back." I opened my bedroom door
and ran downstaires, dashing to the door. I opened it
quickly and saw Abby. I heard footsteps from upstaires
which meant Tyler was coming downstaires.
"Thanks Abbs, hurry Tyler's coming and I
didn't tell him yet just in case i'm not
pregnant. But I just threw up and I have an odd craving
for peanut butter so looks like i'm screwed."
I ran my hand through my hair in frustration for being
such an idiot. This was a big mistake.
"Payton?"
"Let's go!"
"Gimmie a second Tyler!" I grabbed the CVS
bag and dragged Abby inside, shutting the door behind
me. I tugged her to the front of the bathroom door and
told her to wait there. I pulled the test out of the
box and waited a minute. After desperatley waiting for
the test to get results after use, it finally got the
outcome. I held it tightly in my palm in fear. Abby
yelled from outside the bathroom and I opened the door
then faced her.
"I can't look."
"I'll do it for you."
"I'm scared."
"But we have to know." I sighed and slowly
handed the stick to Abby who quickly took it and
scanned over it.
