Chapter 4

-Month 2-

     Makenzie, Alex and I all get along really well.  We all became friends and always hung out together. Alex didn't care that I was pregnant.  Alex seemed to care about me.  I like Alex in more then a friend way, but I don't want him to have to deal with a baby.  I wont be able to party or anything, and I want Alex to have fun.

     The more time I spent with him,  The more I came to like him.  Not just his good looks, his personality, his hobbies, and he's so caring.  I felt like he was the one, but didn't want to rush things between us.  For now we will stay as friends.

     Now that I'm two months into the pregnancy John started to care about me again.  When I woke up this morning he sent me a text wanting me back.  Why would he care for me again?  He can obviously get any girl he wants.  Why go back to the fat girl?  

     Every time I walk into the school doors people would whisper and point some even stared at my stomach.  I just gave them mean glares and they knew to stop.  I wasn't even that big!  I was still small for being pregnant.  I live in a town where everyone judged.

     I walked in the school doors hearing the whispers but chose to forget about them today.  I walk with Makenzie and Alex to first period.  I sat next to the jock and the nerd once again, but today my teacher wanted to mix it up a bit my changing seats.

"Ok class grab your stuff and head to the back of the class room."  I hauled all my books and bags to the back counter and dropped them on the floor beside my feet.

"I will pick your seats."  Great, I was going to be by someone I don't like I can just tell.  The teacher would pick a person and a table for them to sit at.  After awhile the teacher finally pointed at me and then the table were John was at.  Crap! I slowly picked up my stuff and shoved it on the desk not making eye contact.

     After class started and the teacher blabbed on about the human body, I felt a piece of paper slip in my right hand under the table that sat across my leg.  I looked at the tiny white slip of paper in my palm and unfolded it.  I could feel John staring at my fingers moving over the tiny white paper.  

'Brooke, I'm sorry for what happened I want you back.'  I stared at it for awhile until I ripped it into tiny pieces, but made sure I was looking at the teacher so she wouldn't think I was doing something.  

Why did he want me back when he knows I'm going to say no?

Will he try to make an excuse?

Did he think I was going to take him back? Well I'm not.

   I was the first one out of the class when the bell rang, I wanted to stay away from John but he was every where.  What is his problem?  Why wont he just get out of my life?  I walked to second hour by myself trying to get there as fast as possible.  I didn't want to run into John.  Thank god I only have first period with him.  

     I walked into the art room being the second one in there.  Makenzie was always first because her first period always got out before anyone.  I sat next to Makenzie waiting for other people to fill the room.  Alex was second to last person to get here.  Alex sat himself next to me staring at me with bright eyes.

     Class toke so long to get over and so did every other one.  At lunch Makenzie, Alex, and I all stayed at school and munched on some popcorn before dragging ourselves to the last classes of the day.  My head sprung up when I hear the last bell ring signaling that the day was over.  I ran out the door and tried opening my locker but it wouldn't open.

     When there were only a few people left I figured out that I was trying to open the wrong locker. Oops! I hope know one noticed.  I once again did the combination on my locker, but before I could reach the thirty-two mark,  I was turned around and pushed against the lockers.

"Brooke, you shouldn't have done that this morning!"  I could tell through my closed eyes that it was Johns husky voice.  I tried to push him off me but he gripped onto my arms and legs so tight I thought they were going to just fall off.  

"What do you want!" I said screaming at him.

"I want you Brooke.  But I don't want the baby. I was hoping to take care of that for you." My eyes were burnt red when he said he didn't want the baby.  It was a living creature! How could he get rid of my baby anyway.  Before I could think anymore I felt a big pain in my hip.  I tried to Dodge his punch but he ended up hitting my hip with full blast.

     All I could feel was pain as I laied as still as possible on the floor below the lockers.  My mind and my souroundings were muted by the pain throbing in my ears and taking over my thoughts.  The pain slowed down when I was lifted by my feet with Alex's soft and gentle hands.  My mind was off mute enough so I could hear what he was saying.

"What happened?"  I looked around and saw John on the ground rolling in pain holding his leg.

"John... tried to kill it!" Alex looked at me confused.  I was to choked up in cries to say anymore.

"Kill what?"  This time his eyes were filled with worry.

"The baby."  I finally said through the tears that were dropping onto the gray tile under my feet.  He grabbed me tight into his arms trying to get me to stop the crying.  I felt myself being lifted off the ground floating in midair with two branches holding me up.  I looked ahead of me spotting the doors to the front of the school.  I looked up at Alex who was carrying me in his arms not caring how heavy I was.

      Alex is truly special.
