Change
Your relationship with Jake has always been casual. A revelation will soon change both of your lives forever.
authors note: I hope u like this one. Sorry for not posting for two weeks…school has been kicking my ass.
warnings: mentions of pregnancy, mentions of abortion.
You could do this.
That was the first thing you thought to yourself while holding a positive pregnancy test in the small bathroom of the Hard Deck. The second thing you thought to yourself was you had to do this. Alone.
Your recent bouts of fatigue and nausea all started to make sense. Your best friend, Bradley, had offered the suggestion that you might be pregnant and while you didn’t want that to be the case, once he said it, you couldn’t get it out of your head.
A small knock on the door drew you out of your thoughts. You quickly opened the door and saw Bradley.
“What does it say?” He asked, trying to remain calm.
You couldn’t find the words. Instead, your shaking fingers placed the pregnancy test into Bradley’s hand. You couldn’t even look at him.
“Oh my God.” Bradley whispered. “Are you going to tell him?”
“I can’t.” You said, starting to sob.
Jake and you had been hooking up for a few months now. But that’s all it ever was. That’s all Jake would allow your relationship to be. You thought you loved him, but you knew Jake didn’t have the capacity to love you back.
“I’m here. You know that right?” Bradley told you while rubbing your back. “You aren’t going to be alone.”
“What am I going to do?” You cried back in response.
“You have to tell him.” Bradley whispered. “He deserves to know.”
As you continued to cry, you knew Bradley was right. You couldn’t make a decision about the baby in your body without consulting Jake.
The weight of the positive pregnancy test felt heavy in your hands as you stood outside of Jake’s small apartment. In an effort to calm your nerves, you took a deep breath before quickly knocking on his door.
The door swung open to reveal a surprised Jake. “Hey. What’s up?” He asked, clearly confused.
You took a deep breath again before replying. “Can I come in?” You asked. “We need to talk now.”
Jake’s brow furrowed in concern as he stepped aside to let you in. You entered his apartment. The familiar surroundings felt so foreign. “Is everything ok?” He asked, voice laced with worry.
“What’s going on?” He asked again when you failed to answer. “You can talk to me, you know that right?”
You turned to face him, heart pounding and palms shaking. “I…I’m pregnant Jake.” You whispered.
His eyes widened. He seemed like he was at a loss for words. “Pregnant? Are you sure?”
Instead of verbally answering, you handed him the pregnancy test so that he could see for himself. After taking the test from your hands, he sat down on his couch and simply stared at you.
“I took the test yesterday.” You said in an effort to offer an explanation.
Jake ran a hand through his hair. “Wow. I…I’m sorry I just don’t know what to say.”
Silence hung heavy in the air as you waited for Jake to speak again.
“What do you want to do?” He asked after a few minutes.
His question caught you off guard. You hadn’t expected him to react like this. You thought he would be angry. You thought he would demand you leave his apartment or suggest you get an abortion. You hadn’t expected him to talk to you calmly. You really hadn’t expected him to talk to you at all.
“I don’t know.” You admitted. “What would you want me to do?”
“I don’t know.” He replied. “I really don’t know.”
