The trembling of my hand got the doctor worried. I was in shock, I couldn't believe my ears. This ain't how I pictured my future play. This must be a joke, I thought to myself. I was still in denial but the more I think about it the more I know that it's the truth.
I've been so stupid all along. It's two weeks now and hadn't seen my period. I thought it was normal. " No!"
The doctor felt some kind of pity for me. He needed to be on his way to the hospital. His attention was needed. He pack up all his item and gave me a look " You'll be fine " he said before leaving the room.
I felt a wetness on my cheeks. It was my tears. My heart was burning bitterly. I can't take this at all. This is too much to bear. I was breathing too fast finding it hard to calm myself.
I regret not taking Bella's advice weeks ago. I should have done the right thing before this happens. I didn't know what to think or who to call. Dad is going to kill me, I was sure of that.
I climbed down from the bed to search for my phone only to see it on the nightstand. I took it and dialed Bella's number immediately, she is the only one that can help me out at the moment. She is the only friend I have and who also got my back.
" Hey"
" Bella I'm in trouble. I need you right now, please "I cried out.
" What? I'm on my way right now "
Bella didn't want to make me sad by asking questions she is not supposed to. She was worried sick for me.
I was grateful she didn't ask what happen because I don't think I can explain it on the phone. I ended the call and took a deep breath. Just when I thought I was now getting a hold of myself, someone barged into my room.
I snapped my head in that direction and then received the shock of my life. It's Diane, she is back.
"Diane?" I whispered out in shock.
Diane looks as stunning as ever. Her skin glowed so well "it's me in the flesh"
" How...when.
Diane smirked"Don't tell me you aren't happy that I'm back?"
I didn't say anything. I just stared at her with that same shocked look " Welcome"
" Thanks. I just got in and thought of checking on you first "
" Dad doesn't know that you are back yet?" I asked while she nodded " it's a surprise visit "
" A visit? Does this mean you'll go back soon?"
" Maybe, maybe not " She shrugged
I couldn't hide my shock at all. I was glad though, I was glad that she is back and at least dad will be off my case and maybe now on Diane.
"Glad you are back," I said with a forced smile.
" I hope that came from your heart. I know you don't want me back but baby girl, I'm here to stay" Diana winked.
One thing about Diana is, She can be nice one minute and be bitchy the next minute. She is unreadable and full of surprises.
"I'm serious," I said trying to assure her.
" If you say so. I'll be in my room now" She said and turn to leave. I was glad.
Diane paused unexpectedly and I became scared that she might have suspected something. Diane is full of surprises " I saw the doctor on my way coming to your room. Hope everything is alright?"
I felt a thud in my chest " No! No..not at all. I've been feeling sick for some days now so I called him for some treatment "
" oh, okay"
And that was how I escaped Diane's eyes. I can never reveal anything to Diane. If I did that, I wouldn't be surprised to see dad and his stepmom pounding heavily on my door.
On the good side of things, I just spoiled their plans of trying to get me married to a stranger and that means losing a lot of money. I knew it was a business marriage. Dad loves money more than his children, I wouldn't be surprised. With a wife like his who always got his back, nothing is impossible.
I let out a sigh.
****
Bella stared at me worriedly. Since she got in here, I haven't said anything to her. I was sobbing quietly while she rub my back consoling me. Bella was eager to know what happened.
" Did your dad shout at you again?" She asked worriedly while I shook my head " No, I wish it was that "
" Please talk to me, I'm worried sick for you and you are scaring me "
I pushed away " Look at me, Bella. Haven't you noticed any changes in me?"
Bella shook her head and that only made me burst out in tears " I'm pregnant Bella. I'm carrying a child "
" What!" She gasped " Don't fucking play with me, Allison"
" I wish I was joking but I'm not. I'm serious right now, believe me "
Bella was in total shock. She couldn't bring herself to say something. She was finding the words hard to say. It was just too much to take in. I was never this careless but it happened. My greatest fear happened. This is more serious than I had thought.
" What is your plan?" Bella asked even though it sounded stupid. They need to act fast. The more they keep prolonging this, the more complicated it keeps getting.
" I don't know " I shook my head and then wiped my face with the back of my hand. I have no idea what I should do. Dad will kill me, that I'm very sure of "
" Will you come to my house?" Bella asked worriedly
" As if dad will agree to this," I said with a huff " He won't allow me to have a sleepover after the last time we fought"
" What do you want to do about this then?" Bella asked pointing at my stomach.
" An abortion. That should be the best thing to do. I can't have a child with no father. I don't know what to tell this child when it grows. How can I explain to a child that I had a one-night stand with his or her father and it resulted in this "I explained
" Oh God "
" I've thought about this for a second and I don't think I can do this to the child. It reminds me of my parents. This is exactly what I'm going through at the moment. I don't want my child to grow in an environment he or she can't get as much love as he or can "
" What if you will be risking your life doing this abortion?"
" I don't think I'll be risking anything. I just want to be happy with no problems "
" You need to have a second thought about this, I won't allow you to endanger your life. I can't "
I put my face in my hands. I was confused about what to do. I need to act fast before things become big.
" Why not inform him about the child "
" Who?" I asked with a brow raised
" The guy"
" I can't do that. He would only think I did that to steal from him. Who would believe something like this when it's a one-night stand "
" You can't say. Just try it and see. If he refuses to accept the child then I'd suggest you go ahead and have the abortion"
I thought about it and was trying to give in to what Bella said " I'll go to his place tomorrow then "
" We can go together "
" You'll go with me?"
" Yeah, I can't risk anything bad happening to you"
I hugged her so tight " I don't know what to do without you. You are the best thing that had ever happened to me and I'm glad we crossed paths"
" I know right " Bella chuckled " You can always count on me "
" Thanks " I was so grateful." At some point, I felt that I was on my own but you came to mind and here you are "
" You can always count on me, Allison. You are just like the sister I never had "
They laughed so hard forgetting their problems.
" Guess who is back," I said the moment I remembered I hadn't told Bella about Diane.
Bella was confused " What's that?"
" Diane, she is back "
" What?!"
" Imagine my surprise too. I was here crying my eyes out when she barged in. I was glad she didn't suspect anything. "
" Nobody informed you that she was coming today?"
I shook my head " According to her she said it was a surprise visit but I'm damn sure her mom knew about this but will pretend she didn't know anything about it "
