"Jordainne, I have a problem," I said pulling her out of the hall and into the bathroom.

"What is it?"

"My period's late."

"What?!"

"Jord, I think I might be pregnant."

"Now way! You were the one that was telling me to be careful and you might be pregnant," Jordainne said raising her voice angrily."

"I know Jordainne. I can't believe it I was so stupid either," I screamed practically in tears.

Jordainne still looked angry, but softened her face when she saw how distressed I was.

"I'm sorry Kiara. I didn't mean to yell at you. I just can't believe it."

"Neither can I. I'm so scared. What if I am pregnant? My parents will kill me, not to mention what they'll do to AJ."

"Do you know for sure yet?"

"No I don't."

"Ok, before anything else we need to know for sure. We're going to go get you a pregnancy test, and then we're going to my house to find out. Then, we'll take it from there."

"Ok. Thank you for being here for me Jordy. You can't believe how scared I am."

"Anything for you Kiara. I know you'd do the same for me," she said hugging me.

We walked out and went our separate ways to class. The whole day I was haunted by the possibility that I could be pregnant.

After school, Jordainne took me to the drugstore to get the test. We got back to her house and I took it. We sat nervously on her bed awaiting the outcome. The timer went off and we looked at each other. I motioned for her to check the results, too nervous to speak. She looked at the test and then back at me.

"Kiara, you're pregnant."

I looked at her face to confirm it. She nodded her head slightly as I broke down. Sobs racked my body as Jordainne came over to hug me. Jordainne murmured comforting words to me.

"Do you want me to call AJ?"

I nodded my head, still not able to speak. Ten minutes later Jordainne's doorbell rang. She ran downstairs to get AJ. As soon as he entered the room, AJ ran over to me concerned.

"What's wrong babe?" he asked seeing my red, tear-stained face.

"I'm pregnant," I said breaking down again.

"What? How'd that happen?"

"I think you know how it happened AJ," Jordainne retorted.

"I know that, smartass."

"You guys don't fight!" I screamed, " I can't take it. This is hard enough as it is."

"I'm sorry babe," AJ said wrapping me in his arms.

"I'm sorry too Kiara."

"Do you know how far along you are?" AJ asked.

"No, but I think about two months. As I remember it, we didn't use protection that night I spent at your house. We've only had sex twice. God, my parents are going to kill me."

"I'm so sorry Kiki. I should have used something."

"Don't be sorry AJ; I had a part in it too."

"I know babe, I know."

"You won't leave me will you?"

"Break up with you? I would never do that. You do realize that I have to go on tour soon right?"

"Yeah I do."

"So are you going to keep it? If you want an abortion I'll pay for it."

"Don't you even think about that again. I can't give this baby up."

"I'm sorry for mentioning it. Do you want me there when you tell your parents?"

"I don't know. I'm not sure if you'd still be alive after."

"True, but if you want me to come, I will."

"Thank you AJ."

"I love you Kiki."

"I love you too."
