Delilah

Chapter 2

One month later

Shit this is not good. I can't believe it. I'm pregnant. The first time I ever have sex and I end up pregnant. Those pink little lines are so unholy and terrifying.
"What's the prognosis?" Krista calls out over the stall. Krista has been my friend since we were born. I tell her everything and I mean everything. She's the only one who know about me and Eddie. That is unless he's told people. "It's positive but it's probably defective I'll buy more after school. You did lock the bathroom door and make sure no one was in here right?" The last thing I need is for this to spread. That's the thing about our small little town of Hawkins, Indiana. Everyone feeds off the drama and unfortunate events that happen to others. It spread like wildfire in the wind. I can only imagine what would happen if a cheerleader got pregnant with the town freaks baby. Thank god at least now I can quit cheerleading. "Yea, Bev calm down there's no one in here and your right it's probably a defective test." I toss the test in the trash and wash my hands. "If it is positive though are you gonna tell him?" Kristas blue eyes caught mine. "I'm gonna have to I mean it is his kid." What I didn't tell Krista is that this was the fourth test I've taken. There was no defective tests I was pregnant. There's a loud bang on the door. Shit. I walk over and unlock it. Chrissy Cunningham pushes past me bumping into me. "Hey Beverly. How's Eddie?" I roll my eyes. Chrissy has a boyfriend but has been dead set on getting with Eddie since freshman year. Every time Eddie turns her down but she can't get it through her thick skull.

"He's fine." Krista answers for me.
"Tell him I said hi" Chrissy says before she disappears into a stall. Krista hates Chrissy more than anyone, including me. Chrissy's best friends with her little sister April, so Krista has deal with her more than any of us. We walk into the cafeteria i glance at Eddie's table, he's gone. Weird. Probably doing a deal. "Your gonna need to tell Eddie." Krista saying elbowing me. "Yeah I know" I sigh. Having casual sex with your best friend is one thing but being pregnant with their kid is different. We're still friends after the sex so maybe we'll still be after I tell him. Hands wrap around my waist pulling me from my thoughts. "Hey take a walk with me? There's something I wanna ask you." I turn around and face with familiar voice.

Eddie.

"Yeah I need to talk to you anyways." I smile so he doesn't worry I just wanna rip this off like a bandaid. Eddie laces his fingers through mine. We've been taking it slow for a month. Nothing to serious we kiss every now and then but nothing further than that since that night. Eddie stops pulling me out of my thoughts. I see why he stopped the blonde cheerleader. "Hey Eddie! I was wondering maybe if you wanted to would you go to the dance with me?" Chrissy looks over at me smiling. Bitch. She knew what she was doing, getting under my nerves. "Actually I think I'm going with someone else. Sorry." Eddie looks at me and smiles. His grip on my hand tightening. "Hey watch it freak!" Jason yells at us as we cross the football field making our way to the woods.

"Don't you play basketball? Why are you even out here Jason? Or maybe you should be babysitting your ditsy girlfriend?" I say looking him up and down. He flips me off and walks away. Jason Carver Hawkins highs golden boy. He thinks he does no wrong and he's tried to hookup with every cheerleader even though he's dating Chrissy. They cheat on each other their relationship is built on sex and pissing people off. Everyone thinks Chrissy is a good girl but in all reality she's horrible. With me being the head cheerleader I've heard and seen a lot. Even the girls on the squad are done with her and her bullshit.
"Whatcha thinking about?" Eddie said as we approached the picnic table in the woods. To early to tell him right now.

"A lot actually. But it's not important. What did you wanna talk about Eds?"

"Us." He says smiling.

Oh fuck.

"What about us?"

"Well we've been taking it slow, and I think it's time we move on to the next step. We've been friends for forever. I mean for crying out loud we we're each other's first times. I hope you know I wanna be wit-"

"Guess what? Sorry for cutting you off." I keep my eyes on the ground. I feel for the test in my pocket.

"What? I don't know?" Eddie says through a smile. His big brown eyes filling with life. This is going to be harder than I thought.

"I'm pregnant."

Eddies smile drops. Yep there it is. The reaction I didn't want. I search his eyes waiting for him to break the silence. A smile pulls on his lips as he starts laughing.

"Good joke Wheeler." He says still laughing. I pull the test out slip it across the table to him. He goes silent. He looks horrified. This is gonna hurt more than I thought.

"I can't do this Beverly."

"Can't do what Eddie?"

"Be a parent. I'm only 18 I have my whole life ahead of me. I have plans for my future."

Ouch.

"Oh and you think I can? You think that I didn't have plans too Eddie? You think I wanted this? I wanted to go to college and do shit with my life."

"So we'll just get rid of it."

"No! Are you crazy?"

"Well it's not just affecting you Bev!"

"Then don't be in their life Eddie. I don't care I'm keeping my kid."

"Oh fuck you Bev. It's my kid too."

"Oh you mean a kid you won't be there for Eddie."

"Fuck you. Just stay away from me."

"I will have a nice life Edward. Sorry I had sex with you. Won't happen again."

"Wait Bev I didn't mean it pl-"

I didn't hear what he had to say nor did I care I was already halfway to the field.

Boom

"Watch we're your going!" I look up to see who I just ran into.

"Woah Bev are you okay? Your crying."

Steve Harrington.

"No actually can you talk?"

"Yeah. Come on I'll take you home. I gotta drop off Mike aways."
