25: bad vibes

Elaine's POV

Today is Christmas Eve and I'm not feeling well. I've been puking the whole morning and I'm so dehydrated.

Isa: Elaine are sure you're not pregnant?

Elaine: no I'm not I've only been with Billie

Isa: (smirks) how is she?

Elaine: gosh Isa I'm sick and you're asking me such

Isa: sorry but we should really call mom

Elaine: no don't I'll be fine

Isa: too late

She had already dialled mom and her phone was ringing. I hate disrupting mom when she's at her office. I know what you're thinking it's Christmas time she should be here, yes but she had to hurry to her office and grab a few files. Isa was now talking to mom on the phone.

Sandra: Isa

Elaine: mom Elaine is not feeling well

Sandra: okay honey I'm at the gate

She then drops the call and gives me sugar water for some energy. After a few minutes mom gets in

Sandra: Elaine what's wrong?

I just shrug at her

Isa: she's been puking

Sandra: let's go to the doctor

They help me get in the car and give me a bucket. I've never seen mom drive like this.

Sandra: you're gonna be okay honey hang in there

Isa: yeah you're gonna be okay sis

I just give them a faint smile as I didn't have energy to talk. We arrive in the hospital and I'm rushed to a ward and they connect me to drips to regain strength. After sometime the doctor comes to see me

Dr: Sibaya how are you?

Elaine: I'm better now

Yes it was our family doctor so he knows me, and he also happens to be my friends father.

Dr: are you sexually active?

I turn to look at my mom and she just gives me the "answer the question" look.

Elaine: (almost inaudible) y-yes

Dr: in that case you might be pregnant but we're still waiting for the results

Elaine: oh no I can't be pregnant

Dr: yes you can,contraceptives aren't hundred percent accurate

I just close my eyes sigh and the utter words I've never uttered even though I've accepted my sexual orientation.

Elaine: I'm gay

Dr: oh in that case we have to wait for the results

Then he goes out and I can still feel my mother's glare on me.

Sandra: Isa I wanna talk to your sister alone!

Isa: I'll be outside

Isa goes out mom gets off her sit and starts pacing and I know then and now that I'm in deep shit.

Sandra: Elaine Cassandra Johnson what do you mean you're sexually active?

Elaine: (sigh) I'm sorry mom
