Fourteen and Pregnant

Comfort

I dropped the phone and ran into the kitchen.

“Mom” I was crying.

“What’s the matter?” She came over and started hugging me.

“John.” That was all I could get out.

“What about John? Did something happen to him?”

“No. He cheated on me!”

“What?”

“You heard what I said.” I was sobbing at this point.

“Ok. Calm down and maybe we can work this out. Who did he cheat with?”

“Rebecca.” I said with hate in my voice.

“I’m not sure I know her.”

“She’s only been here for a couple of weeks.” I was finally starting to calm down.

“Well, if grandma and grandpa don’t mind, we’ll call John over and talk to him.”

“We don’t mind” grandma said. I could tell she wasn’t as mad now.

“Mom, I don’t wanna talk to him. He’s a jerk!”

“I know, but it’s the best thing to do.”

“Fine.”

“Go call him.” Mom said.

“I’m not calling him! You call him.” I said.

“Ok. Whatever. What’s his number?” She said as she got her phone out of her purse.

“555-5375”

“Hi John, this is Lexi’s mom. Me, Lexi, and her father would like you to come over…” She paused. “Ok. Bye.”

“He’ll be over in 10 minutes.” She said.
