VANESSA's POV
I scanned through my closet hoping to find something decent to wear for Caleb. I passed my mirror, still in my underwear. Looking into the mirror, I thought about what Micah said yesterday.
Turning to the side, I could see a small pudge. That could just be from me overeating though, pushing the thought away.
A knock took me out of my trance, "Nessa, you're friends just arrived." She left my door open and left before I could answer her.
Covering myself with a towel and I sat on my bed, waiting for my friends to barge in my room.
Lizzie barged into the room, "Why aren't you ready?"
"I can't find anything to wear," I said.
"How about this?" Lizzie went up to my closet and pulled out the first thing she touched, which was an off-the-shoulder dress.
"Nope, too tacky" Mikey screwed up his face at the dress.
"This?" She pulled out a short tan dress. going for a more lighter option.
"Hell no"
They went back and forth until Liyah pulled out simple blue dress. It was a a deep v line but it was tight to the top and went loose at the bottom.
"I like that one"" I said, both of them finally agreeing. Putting on the dress, I let Lizzie do my makeup.
Once she was done I took a quick look in the mirror, the make up i had on was a natural look, it looked like a different me. In fewer words, I looked hot.
"i love it" I said twirling.
My curls bouncing around me and my heels clicking against the floor.
"You go girl" Mikey shouted playfully.
Picking up my bag, i gave it once last check to make sure everything was inside of it, I was excited for tonight. I havent been out since that night.
Hopefully, my last night would be better than the first.
I was met with loud music and half-drunk dancing teenagers.
Party Rock Anthem started playing I groaned mentally, it was Lizzie's favorite song.
"Come on!" she shouted excitingly. Pulling me by my hand onto the dancefloor, i let out an excited laugh. I wanted to have fun. Tonight was going to really help how i was feeling over the past few months.
I danced for a little bit before my feet started to ache in the heels. My throat started to feel a little dry so I went to the kitchen for a drink and got a soda out of the fridge, not trusting the drinks on the table.
I'm trying to stay away from the alcohol. It isn't really for me. Sitting down on an empty two-seater couch, I watched my bestfriends dance and have fun.
"You came" A voice shouted, making it over the loud music, turning my head to meet Caleb sitting down on the side of me.
"Yeah, i told you i would" taking a sip of my soda, I noticed how his eyes drifted down to my drink.
"Would you like something other than soda" he asked. I shook my head and gave him a small smile.
"No thanks"
He was quiet for a while before saying something else.
"So, do you wanna dance?," he asked bobbing his head to the beat.
"Uh, I'm not feeling it right now maybe la-" I was trying to tell him before he interrupted me.
"Come on" He pulled me towards the dance floor, dancing to the music that had start to play. This was my jam.
We started dancing and having fun all worries about my aching feet disappeared.
Caleb kept doing some funny dances and I couldn't contain myself.
I was smiling so wide and laughing so hard my cheeks were hurting. But that didn't stop me. "Your smile is beautiful" Caleb shouted in my ears.
I blushed when he pulled me flush against him to say it.
It was then someone came and ruined our fun. "Caleb, you promised me we would dance" a voice whined.
I turned my head to see who it was my smile instantly dropped.
It was Lauren Andrews, the most popular girl at our school, I mean in stereotypes the popular always got together and dated.
But I guess Caleb didn't want to be a cliche popular boy.
Ive never had an encounter with her but, as of right now I wouldn't like to be underneath her terrorizing gaze.
"Oh, well I'll just go sit back down," I said awkwardly.
Lauren looked at me and rolled her eyes.
She was making googly eyes at Caleb, and had her arm hooked around his.
"Yeah, do that" She snapped.
Okay, bitchy much?
I made my way out of the hot and stuffy room, since I wasn't caught up in the moment anymore I could feel the walls closing in on me.
I went upstairs to find a bathroom, I covered my mouth because my throat started to feel like it was closing in. Opening the door I accidentally walked in on two people getting it on, I squinted my eyes.
Make that three.
"Uhh, can you tell me where the bathroom is?" I asked already to embarrassed to make eye contact with any of them. Once I got the directions I went into the bathroom locking the door.
I immediately went over to the toilet, vomiting.
I tried to feel my forehead but my arm was tired from all that dancing.
Maybe I was catching the flu.
"Y-yea the flu" I reassured myself.
I rinsed out my mouth and used a bit of mouthwash. I went downstairs to get a bottle of water and then outside.
I sat outside for quite a time, just thinking.
I called Lizzie's phone, and after the fourth ring she picked up.
"Where are you, I've been looking for you everywhere missy I've asked Caleb and Mikey, well Mikey was a lost cause but still" she ranted.
She could get like this sometimes, all mushy but she would never admit it.
"I'm outside and I'm ready to go, get Micah to please" I almost whimpered into the phone.
After I hung up I took off my heels and rested them on the side of me, I just wanted my bed.
About 30 minutes later, Lizzie came outside with a wasted Mikey.
She put Mikey in the back seat and I sat up front while she drove to my house.
"What happened at the party" she wondered.
"Nothing really, I just puked up my guts in Caleb's bathroom, saw a threesome. Just the normal things" I said flatly.
"Oh" was all she said.
Rubbing my bare feet I asked, "Yeah oh, I think I'm coming down with something."
"Maybe" She shrugged and kept her eyes on the road.
Mikey and Lizzie had slept over at my house, so when Monday morning came I woke up with some really bad cramps.
When I went to the bathroom to check myself because today my period was supposed to come on, I was in for a surprise.
Nothing.
I tried not to think about it as I got ready for school, it's normal for your period to be late.
My best friends were already ready, I went downstairs and saw a note.
Sorry I had to be to work early,
ButI will be home late because it was rescheduledSee you tonight.- Love Valerie.
I sighed, guess I'll ride with my friends. When we got into the car I decided to voice my thoughts, which I was thinking about all weekend.
"Guys" I called for their attention, Mikey was driving and Lizzie occupied the front seat.
Once I was sure they were listening I blurted out, "I think I might be pregnant."
The car screeched to a stop. "What the hell Micah!" Lizzie screamed.
"Don't what the hell me, what the hell Vanessa" He shouted back.
"I think I am, I haven't gotten my period yet" I stammered.
"Van, I think that's pretty normal for a girl" she giggled.
"I still want to make sure, can we go to the drug store after school, Val isn't going to be home"
I noticed Mikey was still quiet when we pulled up in front of the school.
"Micah" I called out quietly. I was already feeling self-conscious, I hope he didn't ignore me.
"Lizzie, Vanessa is right I mean the signs are all there" He pointed towards our school sign.
Which said: If you didn't wrap it before, wrap it now.
"So after school, we'll go okay, sweetie" Mikey smiled genuinely.
We got out of the car and went inside, everyone was talking about Caleb's party.
I opened my locker and got out my books, about to head to my first class when someone stopped me.
"Hey" he put his hands into his pockets.
"Caleb," I said flatly.
I really didn't want to deal with him right now.
"I didn't see you after...." He trailed off.
"Yeah, I left early" I replied, just wanting to walk off.
I was about to when he grabbed my forearm," Lauren and I are only friends, there is nothing going on between us."
"So are we" I put my bag higher on my shoulder and walked away from him to english class.
I had other shit to deal with now.
A/N: Micah is so sweet and funny, I know you may think she is over reacting but duhh mood swings.
Lauren is one hell of a girl and I
don'tthink that was a compliment ๐i
VANESSA's POV ๐School had been over for an hour now, Lizzie and I were just waiting for Mikey so we could get this over with. Finally appearing, he got inside the car. We headed to the drug store and Micah parked the car. Both of them turned to look at me, "Are you ready?" Mikey asked."Yeah-" I started. But they gave me a soft gaze, "No not at all" I breathed. The door bell ringed when we entered the air conditioned store.Lizzie and I examined the aisles until we found the ones with the pregnancy tests. Mikey had disappeared to do his own shopping."Why is there so many? He breathed out.He had a pack of condoms and a tube of lube in his hands. I'm not even going to ask. I didn't bother with asking for the best brand. I just picked one so we could get out of there.We brought three, a bottle of water, and a couple of snacks.The cashier looked at Mikey with a flirty gaze, when he gave him the money.I saw him slip something on Mikey receipt.We headed back to my place, going dir
Its been a few days since I've found out I was pregnant. And my friends were more excited than me about it. We were currently at school, talking about how I've decided to keep the baby. "Don't breath to hard, you're gonna wake the baby" Mikey scolded. He turned away from his locker giving me a hard look. "Micah, I don't think it works like that the baby isn't even developed yet" Lizzie sighed in disappointment,"I know, but I don't want Vanessa to stress herself. Its not good for the baby health" He replied back. "We still have to tell Valerie before my doctors appointment" I said to them, putting a hand over my semi-flat stomach.It warmed my heart to see that they both cared deeply for me. "Now all we got to do is find the father" Micah said. "You make it sound like its going to be easy" Lizzie said, putting books inside of her locker and closing it. "Yes, but she doesnt remember him." He reminded. It made me a little upset at the fact that he was right, I didn't remember him.
VANESSA'S POV ๐When my alarm rang, I shut it off and lazily got out of bed.Once I was ready I went downstairs to get something to eat. I hadn't ate anything since my late morning snack around 5 this morning.I had on a yellow sundress and some white flats. My hair was already curled and I didn't have on any makeup.I didn't have the energy to put on makeup when i was just going to cry it off later."Come, we are going to be late" Val said to me rushing me out of the door.I pulled my bag up on my shoulder and hurriedly rushed into the car. "Are you feeling nervous" She asked me, briefly turning her eyes off the road to look at my reaction."A little bit" I told her, feeling no room for small talk.She smiled at me and I returned it.When we got there we sat in a lobby where a few pregnant woman already were. After we signed in, I waited for my name to be called."Vanessa Valtin, Dr. Andrews is ready to see you" A nurse in blue scrubs said.We followed the nurse to a room and a woma
VANESSA'S POV ๐ It was Thursday afternoon during detention, I sat in an empty classroom. The time passed by slowly. The teacher took my phone and I was already bored out of my mind and not having my phone made it even worse. Caleb hasn't reached yet or maybe I was twenty minutes early. Either way, I was bored. My stomach growled, I hadn't eaten lunch yet. And all I could think about was getting out of there and getting something to eat. "Bullshit" I whispered angrily, thinking about how I got caught up in detention. "Who are you talking to?" Caleb asked, startling me. "What the hell, do you need a bell or something?" I said angrily, placing a hand over my speeding heart. He came in and sat directly on the side of me "Sorry" He flashed his pearly whites at me, and the anger that was built up diminished almost immediately. I noticed that the teacher hasn't said a word. When I looked up I saws that it was only us in the classroom. "You wanna head out to talk, there's a gre
VANESSA'S POV๐"Tomorrow" I questioned, raising my eyebrows."Yeah, the sooner the better right?" Val answers."I guess" I mumbled under my breath. My sister and my two friends sat in our living room trying to figure out how I could tell my baby's dad that I was pregnant.With him believing me of course.We all knew that it was going to be hard, considering I was just a one-night stand. A person who he didn't even know and was claiming this child to be his."I think we should call it a night" Lizzie suggested, moving from her seat on the side of Micah and coming closer to me. "Lizzie' is right, we'll talk more about it in the morning" My sister left us three in the living room. A bit of time passed before Micah made his way to the guest bedroom and Lizzie came to mine. I looked up at the building before me, and there it was. His building. His company. King Enterprises. Taking in as much fresh air as I could before entering the stuffy yet spacious lobby.I felt so underdressed, wea
DEMTRIUS'S POV๐ฒI let out a frustrated sigh as I tried to finish some paperwork for the meeting I was supposed to have today. I ran my hands through my hair, I missed an important meeting.All because of an incompetent woman after my pockets again."Jane reschedule my meeting for 2 pm tomorrow" I ordered my assistant."Yes sir!" was all I heard before I saw her brown ponytail bobbing in response.I was about to reply when someone barged into my office."What the hell man" I shouted as my best friend came into my office with a disappointed look on his face."What Maria didn't give you any again?" I asked him teasingly."You let a pregnant woman walk out in the rain?" I sighed at his comment.So that's what this is about."Were you in on that?, that wasn't funny man." I said. "I wasn't in on anything""Look, you can't expect me to believe something when all girls like her are after my pocket" I told him as he took a seat on my desk."She puked in my car!" He exclaimed, I rolled my eye
VANESSA'S POV ๐ {The Next Day}"That bastard!" Mikey had exclaimed after I had told them about my not-so-great encounter with Mr. Congratulations. I sulked in my seat dropping my empty carton of ice cream on the side of me.Valerie had gone to work, but told me we would talk later tonight. "Don't worry Van, you've still got us" Lizzie said placing a hand over my stomach."Yea, We'll be the daddy" Mikey consoled."I love you guys so much" I sniffed, hugging both of them.At least I won't be pregnant and alone."We know" they said in unison.To make me feel better we had started to binge watch a few shows on Netflix.But we actually fell asleep on the couch.I had woken up to the t.v on a low volume, immediately knowing it was Val's doing.The couch had felt cold, and my best friends were long gone.I got up and looked around the room, throwing the sheets of off me I had noticed that the kitchen light was on.I had heard a few whispers coming from the kitchen.My f
VANESSA'S POV Valerie and I were in the kitchen baking some cookies, we both were home today since she didn't have work and it was still the weekend so i didn't have school.Whilst we were chatting, the bell dinged for the oven."Watch the cookies, I'll get it" Val walked around the island and out the kitchen.The front door closed and I peaked outside the kitchen go see Val talking outside with someone.I was about to sneak and see who it was but the timer for the cookies went off.I was too busy taking them out of the oven to notice Val back in the kitchen."Who was that?" I asked, resting the cookies down on the island table."Nobody" She shook her head and went into the fridge to get some milk."Are you okay?, you look abit troubled" I asked her noticing her expression.โ โ โ โ โ โSchool was the same for me when I arrived the only difference was the hallway was alot more quieter.Huh? Maybe the gossiping wasn't a thing anymore.The bell rang for class and ever
