Goodbye Bump

After Rain and Aaron raised enough money for Juliette's abortion, Juliette drove with Aaron to the clinic. "Excuse me, I would like to get an abortion." Juliette told a nurse. "How old are you, child?" the nurse asked. "15 years old." Juliette told her. The nurse smiled and took out a fill out sheet for Juliette to fill out. "Will it hurt me?" Juliette asked feeling scared. "It will feel like the cramps you have every month." the nurse responded. Juliette nodded and followed the nurse to a room. Aaron stayed outside of the room and just sent a text to Rain.
Aaron: She's getting the abortion now.
Rain: Really? You guys got there fast.
Aaron: I know, well it's time to say bye to the baby.
Rain: That's pretty sad. I feel bad though it has to be done for many reasons.
Aaron: Yea, well. I got to go, I'm reading this magazine. Don't ask me why.
Rain: Why?
Aaron: Shut up Rain.

Several hours later...
Juliette came out of the room and frowned. "Thanks for coming, Juliette." the nurse waved goodbye. Juliette tried to smile and just waved goodbye to her. "Juliette, are you okay?" Aaron asked. "I will be. Can you drive me home?" Juliette crossed her arms around her stomach and sighed. When they both climbed in Aaron's car, Juliette rested her head on the window. The window was quite cold and the snow ran down from the sky. It was 7:34 PM and the sun was already down. When Juliette got home, she entered and ran straight to her room. She turned off the lights and cried herself to sleep.

Sunday, March 1, 2009....
Heather woke up and dressed herself in to a navy blue shirt with Super Mario on it with black skinny jeans and with small lime green socks. It was 11:42 AM and she walked to the kitchen with a yawn coming out. Heather searched for the chocolate flavored pop tarts that she bought for her brother, Toby and herself the other day. She always ate the pop tarts frozen. Heather already got over the whole Juliette thing and accepted that she was too young to have a baby. In fact, Heather found out that Juliette had an abortion yesterday. When she was done with her pop tart, she called Juliette. "Hello?" "I heard about your abortion." Heather said going in her room closing the door. "I hope you are not mad at me." Juliette told her. "I got over it. It's okay, you panicked. Everybody does and I will forgive you, okay?" Heather didn't yell at her at all and that made Juliette relieved. "Thanks so much, Heather. You are a good friend. I thought you were going to be mad at me like on Thursday." "It's okay. Have you told Bailey?" Heather asked. "No. But do you think she should know? I already did abortion. What's the point now?" Juliette exclaimed. "I bet she wouldn't believe you." Heather surely responded. "You're right. So, are you and Rain back together? You both talked to each other finally on Thursday." Juliette asked teasing Heather.

Shocked Buddies

Juliette looked in the piece of plastic and it read + for positive. She put her hand over her mouth in shock. Juliette burst in to tears. I'm not ready to be a mom. Not at this age. Juliette thought to herself. Juliette snatched the phone from her desk and called Rain. "Hello?" "Rain, it read.." Juliette cried so hard that Rain couldn't understand. "Juliette? Are you okay?" Rain didn't know if she was or wasn't. After a few seconds Juliette sucked it up and told him, "I am pregnant." Rain gasped and never thought that one of her friends would be a mom at 15 or 16. "Um.. well, I don't know what to say. You're going to be a mother. What are you going to do?" Rain asked. "I haven't thought of it. I don't want a baby now. I want abortion." Juliette said without thinking. "Are you sure of that?" Rain seemed concerned. "I am not sure. But why should I have a baby at this age? I was hoping to save it until I turn 19 or 20." Juliette added. "You should do what you think is right." Rain encouraged her. "I don't even know what the right thing to do is here. It'll ruin my life if I let the baby make my belly very big," Juliette cried once more. "And then abortion is a sin and plus it cost money." Juliette began. "I can help you raise the money so your mom doesn't find out. And come on, I have done many sins but later get baptized." Rain told Juliette. "Thanks Rain. I'll leave it all to you."

Monday in lunch....
Juliette was one month pregnant. She was skinny, but Juliette had a little bump. It was luckily unnoticeable. "Hey babe." Heather told Rain. "Hey." they both quick kissed and Heather sat down next to him. Juliette came in the lunchroom and sat in front of them. She had a worried look and showed it to Rain. Rain looked down at the table and frowned. "What's wrong? Rain? Juliette?" Heather took this serious and knew for sure something was wrong. "Nothing. I got A LOT on my mind." Juliette made her sentence obvious to Rain. "Yea, what she says." Rain agreed. "Come on, be happy birds or else just tell me now and I sware I won't tell no one." Heather promised. Rain and Juliette looked at each other and then Juliette suddenly said, "Go ahead." Rain put his whisper hands on Heather's ear and whispered the drama. "YOU WHAT!?" Heather yelled out getting out of her chair. Juliette shushed Heather and slowly sat back down with her. "Why are you... the way you are?" Heather screamed in her whisper. "It was not really my fault. Aaron and I... and it was a beautiful moment though I think he is mad at me since I yelled at him for not having a condom." Juliette replied.

Aaron walked by slowly in front of her and caught her eye. Juliette waved hello to him. Aaron looked down and frowned like if he did something wrong. Rain went to get Aaron over here. "Hey Aaron, are you mad at me?" Juliette asked. "No, I thought you were mad at me." Aaron replied. "Well, I'm not. I just panicked and because of that, I have a little someone on the inside of my body." Juliette told him. "Serious? What are you going to do? I don't think I should be a dad. I'm sorry Juliette, but I can't at this age." Aaron responded. "Oh my God, I'm glad you said that. I don't want to be a parent yet too." Juliette smiled. "We are going to raise money to get her an abortion." Rain told Aaron and Heather. "Oh, I would be glad to help you Rain." "How could you?" Heather angrily shouted at them. They all looked at her. "So, you decide not to have whatever you will have and then just destroy his or her future?" Heather finished. "No Heather, it's for my own good." Juliette corrected. "Is it for the baby's good?" Heather asked her not letting her answer. Heather just walked away not wanting to face them right now. Juliette hid her face with her hands and let one tear escape from her eye. "Don't worry Juliette, she will get over it." Rain encouraged her. "Everything she said was true." Juliette whispered to them. "We are still going to raise $300 no matter what happens." Rain told her. "Hey, I have $270.00! We only need $30.00 and we'll be okay." Aaron deliriously shouted. "Great." Juliette said laying her head down. "I only have 14 dollars and... 56 cents." Rain told Aaron. "So that equals $284.56. And now we need...." "Shutup! Just mow a lawn, babysit, or clean a car!" Juliette yelled. "Ah!" Aaron and Rain pointed each other like if this abortion was already possible. Heather's voice still ran around Juliette's mind. Is it for the baby's good?

The Pregnancy Test...

Many things happened in the past month...

Juliette remembered what happened with Aaron and her. January 2009.

Flashback: It was a Saturday night, Aaron went on a date with Juliette. After a long day, Juliette mentioned that her parents were away for the weekend and they both went to her house. The lights were off and they made out with each other. It started getting intense. Forgetting the world, Juliette forgot the condom. So then she screamed, "Aaron! Do you have a condom on?" Aaron's face flushed and he panicked. "Uh..." "You don't have one on?" Juliette asked worried. "Well, I don't want to say 'no' but then I'd be lying by saying 'yes'." Aaron responded. "Oh my God, I'm gonna be pregnant!" Juliette yelled. "Um.. We don't know if it will be negative. Don't worry, Juliette." Aaron calmly told her. "How can I not worry? My name now is Juliette Livingstone!!" Juliette yelled. The yelling went on and on. Once it was over, Aaron ambled home with thoughts roaming his head like an angry bee. I might be a father. He thought panicking.

Now: Juliette cried for a little bit and then walked to a nearby store. She looked for pregnancy test and once she spotted one, Juliette put her hand on it and noticed a lady holding a baby. Juliette's eyes widened and she sighed like if she couldn't breathe. Suddenly, the store's door opened and Rain came in. Juliette gasped because she didn't want no one to find out she might be pregnant. Juliette ran quietly to another aisle with the pregnancy test box in her hand. Juliette closed her eyes and sighed deeply. Rain's eyes turned to confused and walked slowly to where Juliette was. "Juliette?" Rain looked at her. "Oh hey, Rain!" Juliette smiled and hid her hand behind her back. "What's going on? You're acting weird." Rain said. "Oh nothing. I'm just in the happy mood." Juliette laughed suspiciously. "What's up?" Rain asked. "Oh, um.. No. I'm just mood swinging here and there." Juliette told him. "What's in your hand?" he was going to look behind her. "NOTHING!" Juliette yelled. Rain knew there was something in her hand. Rain grabbed her tight and quickly pulled the object out of Juliette's hand.

His mouth dropped shocked with Juliette. "Definitely nothing." Juliette laughed once more. "Juliette, are you pregnant?" Rain asked concerned. Juliette sighed,"I might be." Juliette looked at her feet. "With Aaron?" Juliette nodded feeling guilty. "Why didn't you tell me? You know I wouldn't tell no one and I cross my heart I sware." "What if Mandy finds out? Aaron is her step brother." Juliette almost cried. "I don't know, but I think you should talk with your parents." Rain suggested. "So you won't see me the next day?" Juliette madly shouted. "Calm down, just go home and take the test. Tell me over the phone the results." Rain replied. Juliette ended the conversation there and went up to the clerk and bought it with a broken smile on her face. Rain just came to the store for grocery shopping for chores.

Later, Juliette took the test and she waited there on her bed for the result to pop out on the piece of plastic. After waiting, the answer that showed up was....

With or Without Chance

A month past and it was February 21, 2009. Heather sadly was not speaking to Rain. She still didn't know that Mandy kissed him.

"Bailey, how could Rain do this to me? I thought he hated Mandy. Maybe, she told him something that made him kiss her. UGH! Rain owes me $2.00 for those churros that I didn't even eat on New Years Eve. What do you think I should do? Strangely, he isn't with Mandy." Heather told Bailey over the phone. "I think maybe you should go talk to him. Maybe he didn't mean to hurt you." Bailey advised. "I shouldn't." Heather sadly confessed. "YOU should. It probably wasn't his fault. And God, all this time you would've gotten yourself a new man in your life. Shane apparently doesn't trust me with Andrew. And it sucks." Bailey said. "Well yea, he loves you that much that he doesn't want you to just cheat on him." Heather replied. "He loves me?" Bailey asked feeling butterflies in her stomach. "I didn't really say that but it is obvious." Heather told her. "EEEEEHHHH" is all Heather could hear through her phone. "Thanks for your help for me to be deaf!" Heather sarcastically yelled. "Your welcome! Oh my God. Do you think it is possible for him to love me?" Bailey asked surprised. "Oh yes, he bought you a ring last week." Heather sarcastically babbled. "Well, can you ask him? Every time I try to call him or text him he is either busy or isn't available." Bailey told her. "Alright." Heather smiled. "Oh, and remember to talk to Rain. If you don't then I will beat the shit out of you when I go over there for Spring Break." Bailey sarcastically bullied her. "FINE!" Heather shouted and hung up. She sighed and then stood on her feet. It was cold outside and the streets were covered with a blanket of snow. It was 31 degrees and the wind blew slightly making it colder than it seemed. It probably wasn't his fault. Bailey's voice went around Heather's head and it couldn't get it even if it tried to. Heather already knew the remedy to the voice of Bailey in her head. Heather just didn't want to deal with it. What was she going to do? Hear Bailey's voice 24/7 or go talk to the lying cheater, Rain?

Heather was frustrated. She put on her coat and finally ambled to Rain's house with only one tear going down her face. For some reason she produced butterflies and more butterflies as she got near Rain's house.

The next thing you know, Heather's finger was on the doorbell.

Rain opened the door and seemed confused. "Hey." Heather sadly looked down her converse. "I have been trying to tell you what happened." Rain told her. "Was it Mandy?" Heather asked looking him in the eyes with her eyes watering up. "Yes. And if I was lying, let God strike me with lightning. I would never lie to the most beautifulest girl I ever knew in my whole entire life of living." Rain cried. "Rain, don't cry. I'm sorry if I believed the lie. I was just so mad that I-I couldn't..." Heather stopped there without thinking. She cried because of her confusion. Rain wiped her tears away as well as his. "Look, I don't ever want to lose you. EVER! I love you so much. It's been a month since I haven't heard your voice and I am glad you actually came today to come and mend my broken heart." Rain said with his hands on her face. "I love you too." Heather stuttered. They kissed passionately and stopped after many many many MANY seconds. "I'll never let you go." Rain whispered in her ear. Heather smiled at him and kissed him one more time.
