“So?” Helen asked,

My eyes widened. No this cannot be happening, my eyes started to be teary and tears started to roll down my cheeks.

Ronnie grabbed the tests from my hands,

“Oh no” She exclaimed, “All of them are positive” She added,

It felt like my world started to crumble down on my feet, my knees felt weak, I stumbled down the floor.

“Oh my god, Myle! Are you alright?” Helen asked as she helps me to get up guiding me on the way to the bed, “Sit down” She ordered

“Calm down, Myle. Everything will be alright” Ella exclaimed as she pats my back

I nodded, “I know, I know..I just…I can even….I don’t believe this…I can’t”

“These things happen, it’s normal” Helen assured me

“But I’m not ready” I confessed

“We know, but we will do everything we can” Ronnie exclaimed, “We’re here for you” She added

I started to sob, “Thank you” I whispered

They hugged me. I can’t believe what’s happening; I’m pregnant with Luke’s baby. Are we even ready to raise a family? What would everyone think about us? About me?

“We should wait for Luke, as soon as they get back, we will figure things out.” Helen exclaimed

I nodded,

“For now we have to take care for you, and you must take care of yourself, especially with your condition” Ella exclaimed.

I woke on a crowded bed, it’s past 5 pm. We had a rough midnight figuring what to do with my condition, how I’ll tell my mom, how I’ll tell Luke and how I will handle everything. Ella, Helen and Ronnie decided to just sleepover and now my bed is crammed full.

“Hey, wake up! We need to rehearse for Friday” I exclaimed shaking the bed,

“5 more minutes, please, please” Ronnie exclaimed,

I stood up and jumped up and down on the bed, “No! wake up guys!”

“Myle, don’t jump! It’s bad for you” Ella exclaimed worriedly,

“Geez, chill! I can handle myself c’mon guys! Wake up!” I jumped again,

I climbed down the bed and pulled the duvet off of them.

“OK! We’re up, just calm down” Helen exclaimed

“It’s past 5pm, get lazy asses up” I answered,

Ella sat down on the bed, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand.

“I’ll go downstairs and make brunch” I exclaimed,

“I’ll help you” Ella offered,

I nodded in reply.

We walked our way downstairs and into the kitchen.

“Fries and bacon?” I asked

Ella nodded, “Do you have tea?”

“I think so? Look for it on the upper left corner in that cupboard” I ordered.

“So, Myle….How are you feeling?” Ella asked,

I stopped for a moment, “A little nostalgic? Wish I would’ve been more careful” I answered as I put the bacon in the frying pan,
