Capítulo 10: COULD I BE…
Zarah Fable
School is going to be closed for about two more weeks than expected. The school says that the repairs are taking longer than they want them too so they have no other option. It's been about 4 weeks since everything that happened between James and I. Kiki and I have been doing a lot together but suddenly James hasn't had time to spend with Kiki when I am there with her. The last time I was at her house he ran out faster than I could even say hi to him. Kiki has been trying to ask me what happened between us but I just keep brushing it off and chalking it up to him wanting to show his girlfriend where he grew up before he has to leave. James goes back to college next week and I am not ready to see him go again. What the hell? My stomach feels like it's doing flips and I can't stop it. I run to the bathroom and luckily I make it in time to throw up in the toilet. I haven't been feeling well for the past week. I don't know what's wrong but I can't stand it. My dad won't be home until next month so I can't go to the doctor yet. Against my better judgment I begin to open my computer and search up all of my symptoms and the first thing that comes up is…. Pregnant. Me, pregnant? No way! Besides I haven't even….. Actually I did. I'm not a virgin anymore. I had sex with James. But that doesn't mean I'm pregnant, right? I can instantly feel my mind begin to whirl and I feel myself panicking. My chest feels like it's tightening and I can't breathe. Kiki was supposed to come over today and I can hear someone knocking at the door but I can't seem to move. I hear the door unlock and someone comes bursting into my room.
"Girl you really need to…"
She stops mid sentence as she looks up at me and the tears in my eyes. She walks over to me and bends down.
"Hey, sweetie what's wrong? Talk to me."
There is a look of worry and fear in her eyes, I can tell. I want to tell but if I do, will James hate me? Will he be mad at me for telling her? These thoughts make me panic more until my chest feels like it's nearly closed. Kiki quickly stands up and wraps me in a tight bear hug. I throw my arms around her, nearly falling off of my bed and on top of her. Sobs begin to hit my body hard as Kiki just keeps her arms around me.
After about 10 minutes I begin to calm myself down. Kiki sits next to me in a chair that she pulled up from my desk.
"Are you ready to tell me what's going on?"
"I can't."
"You have been saying that for the last 5 minutes. I am your best friend. More than that, actually, we are sisters. If you can't tell me then who can you tell?"
She's right. I care about James but whatever is going on with me, if it involves what happened between James and I then she needs to know. I take a deep breath and begin to tell her what happened. I begin with being drunk at the part and move to James taking me home. After that I told her about our "interaction" and what happened the next day. Her mouth drops open as she looks at me in shock. I tell her I haven't been feeling good and that I think I might be pregnant. Her face goes blank and emotionless.
"Kiki, please say something."
She stands up and walks out of my room and the house. She left. She is so angry that I didn't tell her that she just left. Did I make a mistake by not telling her after it happened?
I left my door open after she left. It's been about 10 minutes. I guess she is not coming back. My thoughts begin to swirl again, wondering about what I did and if I had just lost my best friend. I hear a sound coming from the front door and when I look up it's Kiki coming back in with a bag in her hand. What in the world did she get?
"You didn't think that I was going to abandon you did you?"
Kiki walks over to me and opens the bag to 3 pregnancy tests.
"They said these were the best ones to get. So whenever you're ready, so am I."
Kiki put the bag down on the edge of my bed and pulled out a box. With her other hand she puts it out to me. I look down at the box and then back up at her face. She's not mad, she just wants to help. I slowly put my hand up and took her hand. We went into the bathroom and she helped me read the instructions and take the tests.
"Are you almost done?"
I open the bathroom door and look at her face. She is just as worried as I am.
"Yup, now what."
"Now we set a timer for 10 minutes and then the results should be on the test."
"Ok."
Kiki starts the timer and now it's just a waiting game. About 5 minutes in I get a text from my dad asking how my spring break is going. Damn it, I can't tell him that I might be pregnant, especially not over text. I tell him that everything is great and I am just hanging out with Kiki at the house. After that I got no response.
The timer goes off, nearly scaring the crap out of me. Kiki and I look at each other at exactly the same time.
"Are you ready?"
"No, but I guess I really don't have another option."
"Ok then, turn them over."
My shaky hand goes to reach for the first test but I chicken out at the last minute.
"I can't do it. You look at them and tell me what they say."
"Are you sure? Shouldn't you be the one to…"
"Please Kiki."
She nods her head and then slowly picks up one of the tests and then picks up the others as well.
"Z, you are…."
