~~~~~Brendon's house~~~~~
brendon opened the door before i had i chance to knock.
"hey-" i began. but he reached out and wrapped his arms around me before i could say anything else.
"did you miss me?" i asked jokingly.
"hell yeah." he said seriously.
i casually laughed and we separated ourselves. he led me into the house and up the stairs to his room. we sat cross legged on the bed. i looked at the gray comforter on the bed, he looked out the window. out of the corner of my eye, i saw his view switch to me. naturally, i returned the gaze.
"what?" i asked.
"i'm sorry," brendon said plainly. his eyes became shifty. "it was my fault. i started it. i'm so sorry."
i watched my boyfriend get upset over what i had started. i felt my heart soften. crawling over to where he sat, i placed my hands on his knees.
i grabbed his gaze with mine. "you did nothing but do what i wanted you to. if i didn't want to have sex, i would have left as soon as i saw you were almost naked." i smiled at the phrasing of that statement, and he laughed softly. "don't blame yourself for what i did. ok?"
he nodded, "ok."
we shared a small kiss and out of nowhere he said, "i want to go somewhere."
i giggled. "alright. where to, prince charming?"
"how about something fun? like... bowling."
"bowling it is!"
we kissed again and headed down the stairs and out the door.
~~~~~~
on our way home, brendon drove his mother's dark blue toyota four runner. he decided that we should go to his favorite ice cream place, a 45 minute drive away. i agreed, wanting as much time possible with him. we blasted music, laughed at corny jokes, and talked about my life in florida.
finally, we arrived at the ice cream place.
"what do you want?" brendon asked.
"i want.... something with coconut," i said, hoping he would choose for me.
"alright. sir, large cup of tropical paradise, please?" he ordered.
"large?" i questioned.
"well, i want some, too," he smiled broadly and winked.
i smiled back, curious about how i got so lucky.
~~~~~ 4 weeks later ~~~~~
i woke up at 9:37am on a Tuesday, 3 weeks before school was to start back and everybody solemnly said goodbye to summer. as i slumped to my door, i scanned my calendar for today's date. all that was in the box was a black star, drawn in sharpie. quickly, i searched the files in my mind, looking for the meaning of it. then i found it.
black star = one month.
one month since i had stalked up the stairs to a naked brendon.
one month since i ripped off my clothes in a fit of impatience.
one month since i pressed my bare chest to his.
one month since i felt the pang of fear and nervousness.
i needed to tell mom.
my brain was definitely awake now. i pattered down the stairs and saw mom in the kitchen, making coffee.
"good morning, sunshine," she said.
"hi mom," i replied. mom looked at me.
"it's that day," she said.
"yep."
she placed the coffee can back in the cabinet and turned around and headed down the hallway. i went in the kitchen and grabbed a water bottle out of the fridge. seating myself at the dining room table, i took a swig from the bottle.
mom came up next to me and placed a box in front of me. it read,
"SensitiveYoungWomen Pregnancy Test.
For use by young adults or teen girls."
i looked up at mom.
"can you do it by yourself?" she asked.
"pee on a stick and put the lid on? yeah, i think i can manage."
she shrugged and said, "when are you gonna do it?"
i shook my head slightly. "i'm gonna call brendon. maybe he should be here."
mom nodded. "ok."
"i'll call him around 12. that's an appropriate time, i think."
"sounds good," mom said. she brushed my hair back with her hand and kissed my forehead. i watched her retreat to the office, most likely to check her email.
i grabbed the box and, leaving my water on the table, i went up the stairs to my room. i went into my bathroom and put the box on the counter. glancing at the clock, i read 10:01. 'shower first, then check myspace, then call brendon.'
in the shower, i let myself melt. Curiosity, nervousness, fear, and possible relief flooded my mind. i wanted to know, but i didn't want to wait until i craved pickles and whipped cream simultaneously to realize i was pregnant. after washing my hair and soaping up my body, i rinsed off and lingered in the steamy hot water for a few minutes. i looked down and observed my stomach. i had definitely lost weight since coming to las vegas. maybe... 10 pounds? my belly wasn't so "chubby" anymore. i guess that membership to the YMCA had paid off.
finally, i stepped out of the shower and dried off my pruned skin. the clock now read 10:59. a 58 minute shower. wow.
jean cut offs and a blue polo was today's wardrobe. i put on makeup for no real reason. the thought of walking to our neighborhood park later had crossed my mind, so i applied my cosmetics just in case.
myspace was a bit of a depressing situation. i had one message, and it was from my mother. it read,
"i'm always here for you, baby. i love you."
no picture comments or regular comments or anything. wow. especially since i haven't logged in since 2 weeks ago.
i shut the Internet Explorer window and walked out to the kitchen. it was now 11:20 and i figured brendon had to be up by now.
phone in hand, i dialed his number and heard it ring. then ring again. it began to ring again, but he picked up.
"hello?" his voice sounded awake.
"hi, baby. how long have you been up?"
"since 9:30. i was going to call you, but i figured you weren't up."
i laughed in spite of the situation. "i've been up since 9:30, too."
he chuckled. "well, what's up?"
i gulped. "it's uh.... it's been a month."
dead silence.
"oh," he replied.
"yeah, so i um.. thought you might wanna be here for it."
"totally. can i come now?"
"yes."
"i'll be there."
and i hung up.
brendon got to my house within 40 seconds of our phone conversation. he came in and i hugged him. without words, he took a seat at the dining room table and waited. mom sat next to him and they quietly conversed as i made my way up to the bathroom.
opening the box and pulling out the test, i dropped my pants and sat down. i took the test, put the cap on it and read the directions again. i'd give it 5 minutes.
in the dining room, mom talked to brendon about his mother and her current job. he watched me come down the stairs.
"five minutes," i said plainly.
they both nodded and then continued talking.
those five minutes were the longest five minutes of my life.
but apparently, he was keeping track, too, because as soon as the clock hit 11:47, we looked at each other. i took in a deep breath and stood up. my feet trudged slowly, heavy with nervousness. i got to the bathroom and looked at the test from the doorway. another deep breath. in and out.
i picked up the test and looked at myself in the mirror. i was young. shy. naive. finally, i drove my eyes down to the piece of plastic in my hands and looked in the little oval.
a pink plus sign.
