“Nick…” Rachelle started to say as he made his way towards her on the bed. Nick stared into her eyes wondering what was wrong. They had planned this. They wanted to do this tonight. They were ready. Why would she be having second thoughts?
“Are you positive you want to do this?” she asked him hesitantly. He smiled “I’m sure babe. I’m 100% positive” he said as he started kissing her. She soon lost the doubts she had and kissed him back.
After they were done they were laying side by side on the bed. Rachelle was snuggled against Nick and he was staring up at the ceiling. He soon lost himself to sleep also.
Nick and Rachelle were great friends. They weren’t together as boyfriend and girlfriend but neither of them ever slept with anyone so they decided they would sleep with each other and get it out of the way. They were both happy with that. Months passed by and Nick went on tour while Rachelle stayed back at school.
“What are you going to do Rachelle?” Crystal asked her as they laid on her bed. Rachelle sighed as buried her head in her pillow.
“I don’t know Crys…he’s gone. And I’m here with this” she said pointing to her stomach. Crystal came over to sit next to her.
“Chelle you have to tell him…” she said in a caring tone but Rachelle shook her off. “No way Crystal. That would ruin his reputation…” Rachelle said staring at a picture of her and Nick from before he left. Crystal placed a comforting hand on Rachelle’s shoulder.
“Nick’s going to make an excellent father. And you are going to make a great mother. You know that right?” Crystal said. Rachelle wiped a tear away.
“I never said I was keeping it…” she said staring at Crystal.
“You wouldn’t…” Crystal said appalled. Rachelle sighed and placed both her hands on her stomach. “I don’t think I could, this is a part of me. And it’s a part of Nick. I don’t think I could ever go through with abortion…” she told Crystal.
“I’m going to get fat” Rachelle realized looking at the clothes in her closet. Crystal laughed “Yeah but at least you are used to wearing big clothes anyways…seriously though. You need to call him right now” Crystal said throwing her cell phone at Rachelle.
“Fine…” Rachelle said giving in to Crystal’s persuasion. She knew Crystal wouldn’t leave her alone until she called and at least talked to him, maybe she wouldn’t tell him right now, but she at least had to call.
“It’s ringing” Rachelle told Crystal. “Hey It’s Nick I can’t come to the phone right now…”
“Nick. It’s Rachelle. I really need to talk to you. I know your tour is almost over but this can’t wait. I really want to see you. Call back when you find time. Thanks. Miss you. Bye” Rachelle said sighing.
