A/N- Hey guys! I had to write this Degrassi ficlet for a competition on I thought It was interesting, so I thought id post. Enjoy!
Paige’s POV
I woke up this morning with a distinct pain above my right eye. Damn migraines, they always hit you at the worst of times. Today I was supposed to go to another college fair with my mom. At least now I have a Legitimate excuse not to go. I closed my eyes and breathed in the scent on my pillow. The smell of Spinners aftershave filled my nostrils and eased the pain of my pounding head. Just three nights ago we’d slept together for the first time since our break up. I was so amazed that all of those feelings id housed for him so long ago where still there. I guess it took being in his arms again for me to realize how much I still love him. I rolled over and opened my eyes slowly. The pain in my head had subsided, and my once heavy heart was again light. My whole future, not only with Spinner, but with schools and Colleges as well lay before me like a wide open road. There’s no looking back now. College here I come.
2 and a half months later
I was in the kitchen drinking Orange Juice this morning when the letter carrier rang the doorbell. I got the mail and returned to the kitchen table, flipping through the stack nonchalantly. Power bill, a note for Dylan, Moms monthly Cosmo magazine. A bright yellow envelope caught my eye, and caused me to stop dead in my tracks. It was addressed to me, from one of the colleges id applied to at the college fair months ago. I ripped it open with shaky hands, my eyes scanning the page frantically. Id been accepted! Oh my god, I just got accepted to one of Canada’s top colleges! Nothing can stop me now, Im invincible.
a week later, Hazels house
“Something’s wrong with me Haz,” I called from her small green and white bathroom, “I must have a bug or something, I’ve been puking my guts out now for the last three days.”
I walked back into her room slowly and tossed myself face down on her bed. Tears brimmed in my blue eyes as I thought back to that night with Spin, we hadn’t used protection. Oh god. Please let this be a bug. I swallowed hard and finished the thought fearfully. Please let it be a bug and not a baby.
I sat up and called for hazel, who came running. Just like a best friend should I thought exasperated.
“Hazel do you remember me telling you how Spin and I hooked up a few months ago?” The voice I heard wasn’t my own, It was weak, small, and Scared..
She nodded, and held my hand tightly as I continued on.
“We didn’t use protection Hazel, I think im..I think im Pregnant.” I choked on that final word, a river of hot tears spilling from my eyes in a rush. She just held me tightly, and stroked my hair gently as I cried myself to sleep.
the next day at home
Just three minutes and ill know the truth. Three Minutes that could change my life forever. Hazel took me to the drug store earlier to get a pregnancy test. This can not be happening. How could I have been so stupid?
two minutes and fifty nineseconds later
Here I sit on the bathroom floor, the E.P.T. stick in hand. I cant breathe. There’s no air left in my lungs. Its over, all over. A million salty tears slip silently down the canvas of my cheeks un noticed. My tears, my hopes, my life doesn’t matter any more. The strip is pink. Im pregnant. So much for invincible, so much for college.
