FEGG - G6 - Violet - Chapter 4

 I loved being at the gym. It was so quiet there, and I was almost always alone. Just the sound of me breathing and my feet running on the treadmill.

 And Shan used to visit me there. He didn't exercise himself, but he liked the silence almost as much as I did. And when I took breaks, we sat down, talking with eachother, and just chilling.

One day, in my brake, we went out and talked. It was one of the evenings when there was a lot of people at the gym.

 It was dark outside so we just sat down, watching the stars.

 As always, we just sat down, talking with eachothers. It was so fun, and it was even better to be outside, alone in the dark. Everything was so exciting.

But it was getting late and the clock was soon 10PM.

"I should go now." I said. "But I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"

He nodded and rose up. I also rose up.

"Are you okay?" I asked. He should have said something by now. But now, his eyes were big and he looked nervous. "What is it?"

 He looked at me and in the next second, he leaned forward and pressed his lips against mine!

But I wasn't surprised. Sure, a million butterflies flew around in my stomach, but I had known that this night was going to be special. I don't know how.

 And sure it was special.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 A few weeks later, I woke up one morning, feeling really sick. I rushed to the toilet, right in time.

 Two hours passed without more sickness feelings, I got me some breakfast. Surprised over the sudden sickness.

My mom walked pass right as I sat there, eating my soup. It was the only thing I dared to eat.

 "I don't really feel very well.." I said to mom.

"How come?" she asked, anxiously.

I shook my head. "I don't really know... I threw up this morning, but now I don't feel that bad... I'm just..."

 Mom grimaced. "Threw up? You, dear, have sure eaten something bad. Stay home and rest today and you'll be better tomorrow!"

 "Thanks mom.." I hugged her.

But I didn't get better.

One month passed, and I never got my period. In a panic, I went to the supermarket, to buy me a pregnancy test. I couldn't be pregnant, could I?

It was positive. Maybe it was something wrong with it? I tried again. Positive. Again? Positive...

Apperently I could.

Oh my god.

(in case of anyone is wondering, that swimsuit is the only clothes she can wear... I forgot to download teen pregnancy clothes...)

 "Mom we've got a big problem..." I began. It was just me and mom home.

"What has happened, sweetie?"

"I haven't got my period.."

Mom smiled relieved. "That's normal, Violet. It'll come soon, you'll see!"

I shook my head. "In nine months, yeah... I'm having a baby... Or that's atleast what the pregnancy test told me... Like five times..."

 Moms eyes wided and she just stared at me. "Pr-pregnant...?"

I didn't dare to look her in the eyes.

 "I didn't even knew you had a boyfriend?!" she yelled. "You can't be pregnant! You're only 17!"

"I-I kno-"

"What are you going to do with the baby?! You can't take care of it! You need to go to school! And don't even think about ME taking care of the baby! I'm YOUR mother, not your baby's!"

 "I know, I know!" I said. "We can hire a babysitter... There must be some way to keep it..."

"KEEP IT?" Mom stared at me like I had killed someone. "DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME?! We can't keep it! And a babysitter?! We can't afford a babysitter! You can't have a baby!"

 I didn't know what to say. "I want the baby..." I sobbed. "You know how it is to know you're expecting a baby... It's a part of me...."

 She didn't answer.

 "I know, even my stomach isn't big yet, but it's a baby inside me. And that baby is mine. Even if it kills me, I want to keep that child...." tears rolled down my cheeks by now. 

 Suddenly mom pulled me into a hug. "I'm dissappointed at you, Violet. But I'm also sorry. I'll help you with that baby, but when you're home, you'll have to take care of it!"

I sobbed. "I promise..."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next thing I did was to call Shan. "Emergency." I said.

"I'm at the university... Can't I come tomorrow?"

"I said emergency. Don't you know what that means?"

He sighed. "Sure I'll come."

 And about two and a half hour later, he was at my house. I hadn't seen him since a few weeks ago, before he had to go back to the university.

"I hope it's important, I need to go up early tomorrow..." he said but kissed me on my forehead.

 "It's really important, unless you don't mind being a father."

 He stared at me. "Did I hear right? Father?"

I nodded. "That's our little problem, growing inside my stomach."

 He just kept on staring at me.

"I'm sorry... Violet... It this is some kind of joke, it isn't funny. I need to go now... As I said, I have to go up early tomorrow... I'll see you later.."

And then he ran off to his car, and drove away as fast as he could.

I just stood there, staring after him.

Well I didn't expect that to happen...
