Forever&Always #1

Tuesday 15th of September...

Lia

Me and Heather we're sitting in my room, as always after school, doing our homework.

I knew I had to tell her today. I've been feeling sick, for a few weeks now and my period was late (it hadn't been late since I got it for the first time.) I think that I'm pregnant. I don't know what to do. I really wish that I'm wrong, that it's something else.

"Heather? Can I talk to you about something?" I asked her uneasy. She looked up at me, from her history book.

"Yeah, sure, I'm here for you girl," She said adding a smile at the end.

Okay, this is it. She'll know what to do, she'll understand, because she's my best friend.

"I...I think I'm pregnant Heather..." I said, worm-like tears started to fall, down my chicks, I didn't know why, but I let them do so.

"Oh, wait a minute Lia, what did you say again? I think I didn't hear you right" She said looking at me disbelievingly.

"You're hearing's okay, Heather. I said that I think I'm pregnant." My voice was shaking. I was relieved that I told someone what I thought. I couldn't hold it inside me anymore.

I was crying hysterically now. Heather stood up from her book and hugged me.

"It's gonna be okay girl. I'll be here for you..." She whispered. I knew I could count on her.

"Have you done the baby test yet?" She asked when I calmed down a little bit.

"No. Not yet. I'm kinda scared to do it." I looked up at her. Her eyes were full of concern.

"Let's go!" She said pulling her jumper on.

"Go where?" I looked at her puzzled.

"Pharmacist,to buy the baby test. We have to be sure. I mean you have to be sure." She said half-way out of my bedroom. I quickly followed her.

***

I felt shy, in the pharmacist. The shop-keeper, was eyeing us suspiciously, well who wouldn't if he found out that two sixteen year old girls wanted to buy a pregnancy test. But he didn't ask us anything. I felt relieved once we were home. To me it seemed like everyone outside was looking right at me, I know I was just imagining it, but still.

I was pacing back and forth in our black bathroom, which was making the situation even more dramatic. The pregnancy test was sitting, on the toilet. I couldn't look at it,suddenly I didn't want to find out the truth.

"Lia, calm down. It's gonna be ready now..." I didn't stop.

"Want me to look?" Heather asked me. I just nodded. What if it's going to be positive, what am I going to do then?

She picked up the pregnancy test, but didn't say anything. What if it is positive and she doesn't know how to tell me. The hell, what am I going to do. I'm sure mum will kick me out, she'll be so angry.

"So..." I asked, my voice was shaking, the familiar bump was building up in my throat, I was holding back the tears that were building up in my eyes.

"I'm so sorry Lia, it's positive." the word 'positive' felt like a hard slap to me. The tears I was holding back, started to well out of my eyes. Why? Why me?

"Is it Olivers? You never said you did it with someone..." She asked. Oliver? No way. He broke up with me two months ago at Heather's birthday party.

"No..." I said, looking down, onto the cold floor.

"So? Whose is it?" She asked me.

"It's...It's...Gabriel's" My voice trailed of. Gabriel is Heather's seventeen year old, brother.

"How..." she whispered. I know she never thought it would be Gabriel.

"It happened on your birthday party, two months ago. You know, Oliver dumped me like at the start, so I went up stairs. Gabriel found me in your bathroom, crying. He...he was so gentle... understanding... It…it just happened...." I blurted out.

“Why didn’t you tell me girl? I thought we are bff’s…” her voice sounded sad.

“After it, we both acted like it never happened, I don’t know, I was scared to tell you. I’m sorry Heather, I truly I’m. I was never planning for it to happen. I mean me and Gabriel always hated each other, it’s… I don’t know.” I said still looking at the floor.

“It’s okay girl, I mean it wasn’t intentional.” She said. I felt her hands on my shoulders, and then she hugged me tightly. I knew I could count on her.

“You have to tell them, all of them.” She said, now sounding serious.

“What do you mean?” No way, I don’t want to tell them, I can keep it in secret, can’t I? At least for a while.

“You know, first you have to tell Gabriel, then everyone else.” How am I supposed to tell Gabriel? He won’t listen. Afterwards he’s going to hate me even more.

“I know what you’re thinking, I’ll make him listen, even if I’ll have to tie him to a chair.” I just had to smile. Yeah, Heather will make him listen, I’m sure of that.

“You have an unusual teenage pregnancy situation…” I knew what she was talking about. I’m not only a pregnant teenager but a witch as well. I know this sounds so, cliché, but it’s true. My whole family consists of witches (and I don't only mean the girls, even boys in our family have magical powers) and Heather is one of the only one’s that knows ( I mean outside of my family.)

“Oh, I have to run, I’m already like, twenty minutes late for my date with Zac…I’ll call you later…don’t worry, I’m your best friend, I’ll help you through this.” She smiled and then disappeared in the doorway.

She left me standing in the bathroom alone. Well actually, I wasn’t alone, I had the baby with me. I touched my stomach. I felt weird, I don’t feel immature enough to be a mother, but there’s no-way I’ll have an abortion or give the baby up for adoption, I’ll care for my (I mean my and Gabriel’s) little accident.
