"I am happy you are not traumatized after what you had gone through, Julie" Beth said after the hospital's receptionist checked their names in as they entered the hospital.
"But am surely feeling dirty, unholy and a freak!"
"Everything will be okay, Julie"
Bethany said as they entered a room labelled on the door as the pregnancy and STI check room.
"Ok, this is it. Just relax Julie" Bethany said and gave Julie a reassuring smile as Julie nodded her head nervously.
Inside the doctor was not around,but a teenage girl who probably looked like she was 19 was there. Her eyes had eyebags and she looked weak and shaggy. She was holding a pregnancy test and probably she was pregnant.
"Have you seen the doctor?" Bethany asked the girl.
She did not answer instead eyed them dangerously.
"I think the girl is not willing to talk because of her condition" Julie told Bethany.
"Let's just wait for the doctor" Bethany suggested as they sat at the bench next to the girl.
After what seemed like eternity, the doctor came in with a fat woman who was angry and she quickly walked to the girl sitted next to Bethany and Julie.
"You fool! Who told you to get pregnant in my house, who?" The woman shouted grabbing her hair
"Auntie am sorry!" She cried
"Sorry what, huh? Angie you have failed me....what will I tell your mum"
"It's not like what you think! Auntie, it's not my fault!"
"Madam, I think it is best you listen to her" The doctor intervined
"Sorry doctor, thank you for your services" The woman said and grabbed Angie's hand, leading her outside the office.
"Am sorry for that silly scene" The doctor rolled her eyes.
"It's ok, doctor"
"First of all, am Doctor Melda" she said with a bright smile.
"Am Bethany and she is Julie" Bethany introduced themselves.
"How can I help you young girls?" She asked as she wore her glasses.
"Doctor, we are here for the pregnancy and STI test."
The doctor looked shocked but she hid it.
"Both of you?"
"No, my friend here" Bethany said.
"Ok...when last did you make love?" She asked as she took out her note book.
"Y..es..Ter..day" Julie muttered.
But it wasn't like what the doctor was thinking right now she was raped and she didn't even see it coming.But she just had to pretend like she was the victim there but sooner, she will seek revenge.
" I'll perform the STI test first" she said and continued
"Probably I will give you the pregnancy test kit and you will perform after two weeks because you just made love yesterday"
Her last word stung Julie's ears. It was not her fault, but the doctor didn't know .
Melda withdrew blood from Julie's body using a syringe and went to another room but before leaving she told them to wait for thirty minutes.
Later, she came back with a smile.
"Doctor...am I...."
" No Julie Miller. You are healthy"
Bethany hugged Julie tightly and cried on each other shoulders.
"Thanks Doctor" Bethany said as they left the room with a smile.
*. *. *. *
Bethany took Julie to her home. Julie found her mum angry beyond normal
"You owe me an explanation, Julie Miller" Her mum voiced out angrily.
"Mum....." Julie wore a sweet smile and continued
"You know we studied late with Beth till we lost track of time and we slept late and woke up late"
"Seriously Julie, you got me worried. I called your phone but you were not picking up"
"Mum am sorry. It won't happen again" She said and her mum hugged her
" I hope it won't" she mumbled
Julie took Bethany in her room with a smile.
"Thanks Beth for always being there for me"
"It's okay Julie. Now, get ready tomorrow we are going back to Lakers high and please I hope you will be okay" Julie gave a bright smile and said
" I will be okay, Beth, I promise"
