Chapter 44: Free once again but ashamed
Well, Mom was a little worried as to why she saw two drops of blood on the floor and where it came from. The next day while we were all having breakfast, she threw a general question,
"Did anyone get injured yesterday?" Mom asked, I and Dad looked at Mom curiously,
"No," Dad said and looked at me, "No," I said too,
"Hmm, that's weird, because I saw two drops of blood upstairs, and the blood drops looked almost dried which means it was there for a long time and only one person was home yesterday," Mom said.
"Mom I didn't hurt myself, I'm fine," I said,
"Oh I know you're fine darling, or would I say, you're fine now the baby is gone," said Mom
"Mom, what are you talking about ?" I asked curiously,
Mom sighed,
"Last night while you were asleep, I entered your room and saw another drop of blood very close to your bathroom, and then I knew something was up, I search your room and I found this under the bed," she said and dropped the pack of pills Jones got for me yesterday. Dad saw it and became surprised,
"Is that what I think it is ?" Dad asked,
"Oh it is sweetie, it's abortion pills," Mom said to Dad.
"But I thought we spoke about this, so you ignored my instruction?" Dad asked,
"Dad I'm sorry but there is no way I could have kept the baby,"
"And you killed it?" Dad yelled,
"I had no other choice,"
Dad banged the table and stood up,
"There was a choice, and there is always a choice but you chose to do the wrong thing, what if you've lost your life in the process,"
"But I didn't look at me Dad I'm fine and I'm okay,"
Dad remained quiet and looked at me angrily,
"I don't want to ever see Jones in this house, if I see him, I swear I would kill him and I don't care if I end up in jail,"
"Darling don't say that," Mom said,
"Of course, I would, now my 16 years old daughter has had an abortion because of him," he said, I and Mom stayed quiet watching him scold me.
To be honest, I've never seen Dad so mad, he spoke like he wanted me to keep the baby. After he scolded me, he walked out of the dining. Mom didn't say anything else to me, she stood up and left as well.
Shortly after, I went back to my room, I wanted to go to school but I couldn't because it was already late. Well the normal agenda, Dad and Mom went to work and left me home alone. I made up my mind that I would go to school tomorrow so I waited for tomorrow to come. The time moved extremely slowly and it was a very boring day.
The next day,
Normally I wake up by 6 AM, but today I woke up by 5 AM and got dressed for school, before Dad and Mom woke up, I had already headed to school.
When I arrived at school, I noticed everyone was looking at me weirdly. Normally they would cheer me but this time, they gave me a weird look. I got to my class and some of my classmates walked toward me,
"Angie, we know what you're going through but we're always here if you need us," she said. I thanked her but I was a little confused as to why she said what she said. I overlooked it and headed to my seat. Moments after I got to my seat, Jeff walked to me,
"So Angie, can I ask for a little favour ?" he asked,
I sighed,
"Jeff, please leave me alone," I said,
"Come on, just a favour," he said,
"Okay, what's it?"
"Alright, can I be the godfather, I've always wanted to be someone's godfather," he said.
To be honest I didn't understand what he was talking about and I didn't want to believe it was what I think it is.
"Sure," I said, "Now please leave, I have to cover all I missed yesterday,". He left and Victoria walked to me some minutes later,
"Hi Angie, can you come with me to the bathroom?" she asked,
"Uh...sure," she said, before I stood up, she held my wrist and pulled me to the bathroom. We both got in and shut the door. In the bathroom, Ella, Betty, Trina, Lola and some of my other friends were there. Victoria closed the door and lock it.
"Hi, guys, what's wrong?" I asked,
"Angie we're your friends, and we're in this together so how do we get rid of it, because you might become a dropout if you keep it," Ella said,
"Keep what, I don't understand ?" I asked,
"The baby, or was Jones lying ?" Ella asked,
I became devastated,
"Jones told you all about it?" I asked,
"Well he didn't tell us in person, he posted it on the school's social media page," said Ella. When she said this my heart skipped a beat. I pulled out my phone and checked the school's social page and saw posts that I was pregnant. I remained quiet for a few seconds as I began to feel devastated and ashamed of myself. My phone dropped from my hand, and my eyes became full and tears rolled out then Victora hugged me,
"It's okay, he's a Jerk," she said,
"Yeah, why would he post it on the school social page, what kind of person would do that to his girlfriend," Betty said,
"I'm done, my life is over," I said with my eyes filled with tears, "How would everyone see me now, what would people say,"
"You know, who cares about what people say, forget about what they would say and let's find a way to get rid of the baby," Lola said,
"I already got rid of it," I said as they all looked at me curiously,
"What?" they all asked,
"I took abortion pills and it worked, but now everyone thinks I'm pregnant," I said and cleaned the tears in my eyes, then the bell went for the first period and we headed to class.
