Fate

Chapter 11

"Stella." Taylor steps back from me gagging in the toilet.

I wipe my mouth and brush my teeth super fast.

"Are you kidding?" She spits out.

" No. Taylor I can't breathe." I whisper with fear.

"Lets go into the dining room and talk." She considers.

"Okay." I walk with her.

How could this not even cross my mind until now? Is this reality?

"So you mean to tell me, you and Harry had unprotected sex?" She raises an eyebrow.

"Yes. I guess because I was so drunk it didn't occur to me." I say looking at her.

"Have you been feeling weird lately?" She asks.

I honestly don't want to answer any of her questions because I don't want to admit them to myself.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"Symptoms?" She says cocking an eyebrow up again.

"Taylor you can't be serious. Are you saying I could be pregnant?" I look at her with disgust.

"Im just helping you look at the possibilities Stel." She says rubbing her shoulders.

"Let me turn up the heat, ill be right back." I say walking to the thermostat.

"Oh shit." I say looking at the front door.

"What is it?" Taylor says.

"Harry. He's here." I say looking as nervous as ever.

"You need to tell him to leave." Taylor demands.

"Yeah." I agree.

I walk over to the door and open it only to tell Harry he needs to leave.

"Stella, Im so glad to see-" He says until I blurt out "Leave."

"What?" he says with sadness.

"You need to leave." I say again.

"We really need to talk." He says trying to walk in.

"No!" I yell and slam the door.

I feel terrible for making him leave but that doesn't seem to phase him.

"Stella I'm not leaving until we talk." He says through the door.

I walk back to Taylor.

"Should I just wait until he leaves?" I ask Taylor hoping she'll say yes.

"Yeah, until we figure this out." She says still staring at the door.

"So symptoms. Have any?" She asks again.

It kills me to think about this but I have to answer her.

"I've been nauseous. And vomiting too." I say clenching my fists.

"Well that's pretty much an obvious sign Stella. I don't know what else to tell you. Are you saying that you never even thought about using protection?" She says slapping the table with a sarcastic voice.

"Do you think this is a joke?" I ask her very loudly.

"No? Quit being so tense, you sound like your mother." She giggles.

I can't help but laughs with her.

"We need to go buy a pregnancy test or something." she says shaking her head.

"I think your right." I agree.

Harry is finally gone so we decide to run to the nearest Walgreens and buy some. Im so glad I have Taylor to help me with this. I don't know what I would do if this were me and my mom.

We get back to the house and I spot the black Tahoe in my driveway.

"We need to leave." I suggest.

"Stella. You can't run away from him forever." She rolls her eyes.

We park and get down to go inside, Only to find Harry and my mother making small talk in the dining room.
