Chapter 6
“What?!” I sort of yelled in disbelief.
“I’m pregnant. You’re the daddy.” I stood up and put my hands over my head and tried not to believe it.
“How could you do this, Jesse? I loved you. Why, Jesse?” A voice said. I turned to Candice who had her head buried in her hands crying.
“What?”
“I didn’t say anything.” Candice replied.
“It was me, Jesse. Turn around.” I did and screamed. There was Sarah again. I broke out in another cold sweat and just stared.
“I thought you loved me. You never told me about this. Ask her when she got pregnant.” Sarah ordered.
“Candice, When did you get pregnant?” I asked not turning away from the ghost.
“It could’ve been two months ago at the beach house, the time we went on a picnic in May, or… any time since then. I’m at least three months.”
“Wow, Jess. So it wasn’t just one time. That disappoints me. I really thought you were the one.” Sarah accused.
“I still am. I always will be.” I replied on the verge of tears.
“Excuse me?” Candice interrupted.
“Don’t say that, Jess. I can’t still love you like I did. Especially after what you did.”
“Yes you can. You always can. What did I do?”
“Jesse? What are you talking about?” Candice asked.
“First, you never told me about you and Candice. Or that you had sex. And,” the ghost stepped closer, “What you did to Mike.” My eyes flooded.
“I’m so sorry! Please forgive me for everything.” I pleaded. Candice slowly stood up and took a step towards me.
“Jess? Are you okay?”
“Why? Why did you do that to Mike?” Asked Sarah.
“I don’t know. You don’t understand! I’m so sorry. But I NEEDED the drugs!”
“DRUGS? What drugs? JESSE!!” Candice frantically demanded.
“Jesse, I’m leaving now.” Sarah informed.
“NO! Don’t go, don’t go! Please don’t go! I love you!” I interrupted. She shook her head and then gave an evil smirk.
“Trust me, you’ll be seeing me a lot. And… Tell Candice about your sorry life.” POOF! Sarah was gone.
I broke down in sobs and fell to my knees. Candice stopped talking and sat on her knees beside me. I laid my head on her shoulder and she embraced me.
“What’s happening, Jesse? Please tell me.”
“Okay,” I sat up and wiped my tears, “I met this guy on the streets. I heard that he sold drugs and I needed them badly. See, it was the only direction I could turn to. He let me have a week’s load. But I… I kind of used it in three days.”
“Jesse?! Three days? What kind of drugs were they?”
“Crystal meth… I just got so depressed, and I just…
Like I said, I used them up in three days. I needed more. I still didn’t have any money, so I borrowed a gun and took it over to Mike’s house. I threatened him and I took all of the drugs I needed. Then… then I called the police on him. He was arrested.” Candice was stunned.
“Why would you do such a thing?” I raised my voice in anger.
“I needed it! Okay? You have NO IDEA how bad I’m hurting!! You have NO IDEA what I’m going through!!
Sarah has been haunting me since she died! I hear noises. I hear SCREAMS AND CRIES!!! I’m being driven COMPLETELY INSANE!!! I just arrested a man for MY bad choices!!! And now… now my ex-girlfriend walks in and tells me she’s THREE MONTHS PREGNANT!!!!! Don’t even tell me you REMOTELY understand what the heck it is I’m going through!” I stopped yelling and rolled my eyes and fell on the bed. Candice looked enraged and her eyes were filled with tears.
“Oh really?! You have no clue what I’M GOING THROUGH!!! I have been pregnant for three months!! Throwing up EVERYDAY, EVERY HOUR!!!! And I didn’t even know it until today!!! My boyfriend of four years CHEATED ON ME WITH AN UGLY GIRL HE JUST MET!!! THE WORST THING IS SHE USED TO BE MY BEST FRIEND!!! He was even going to propose to her! When I told my mom I was pregnant, she announced that she was DISOWNING ME!!! She kicked me out and now I’m homeless!” Candice yelled back. I felt so bad, but still so angry. Candice picked up her purse and walked to the door.
“I’m sorry, Candice. So sorry, I’m just SO screwed up right now. I have no idea what I’m supposed to do.”
“I’m sorry too. Seems like we’re both pretty screwed up now.” We giggled through our tears and I held out my arms. She came into them and we hugged.
“Candice? Is it a boy or a girl?” We pulled apart. She looked down and rubbed her tummy.
“It’s a boy. We’re going to have a little family of our own. We’ll be so happy. Right, Jesse?” My mind stunned. Happy? I can’t be happy. What am I going to do?!
“Yea. So happy. Well I got to go run some more errands. I’ll be back tonight, though. So, I’ll call you.” I said absent mindedly. She kissed me on the cheek. Not in a flirting way, but a friendly way.
“Okay. Bye.” And she left. I fell over and beat myself up inside.
Gosh, Jesse!! What is wrong with you?! She expects a happy family! That’s exactly what you’re running away from. You can never be happy. How could you possible be with Sarah haunting you all the time? Maybe someone will be willing to kill you. NO! Death is not the answer… Oh, but it’s a choice!!
“What can I do? Oh, God! What if she miscarries after I give her a try? What is the kid is deformed? Retarded? Or worse… Happy? I can’t-” Shane appeared in the doorway.
“Time for you to leave.”
“Hmm… Shawn? No… Barry? Nah… What do you want to be named, baby?” Candice asked, rocking in a rocking chair and rubbing her belly, “Billy? How about Kyle? Hmm… May-”
Ring Ring. She jumped up.
“Hello?” She answered the phone.
“Hey, Candice. It’s Jesse.” I said.
“Hey. Um… I’m trying to choose a name for the baby. Do you like Barry, Billy, or Kyle?. Unless you like other names.”
“Kyle… I like that. Kyle Henderson. He WOULD have my last name, right?”
“I don’t know. He will if MY name is Candice Henderson.” Candice suggested hopefully. She wants to get MARRIED! Awe, man… I thought quickly.
“Yea, sure. So when he’s born, his name will be Kyle Blakely?” She stopped being cheerful.
“But… Don’t you want to get married before I have the baby?”
“Candice, we’re 14! I’m not even sure if it’s legal to get married at this age! And besides, we have our whole lives ahead of us. Why marry now?”
“I… I just thought the baby might want to be born with his daddy right there. And I thought, since you’re the biological dad, you’d want to be with him.. And me.”
“I see where you’re coming from, and trust me, I want to be with my kid. But at 14, I need to make a living to take over to y’all and support us. I need to finish school to get a good job. Do you understand?” I informed.
“Yes… Well, I have to go,” she paused, “I love you.” My heart skipped and I felt even worse.
“Okay. Bye.” And I hung up. I reached for the drugs and sniffed a bunch up. I closed my eyes and tried to picture Sarah-her beautiful self- but when I did, she just turned scary again and screamed at me. I quickly opened my eyes.
“I’ve got to make this work. Where’s that pay phone?” I spotted it and got inside. I put in my quarter and dialed her number, “Hey, Candice. I’m sorry. Want to go browsing for Kyle Henderson?”
“What?!” I sort of yelled in disbelief.
“I’m pregnant. You’re the daddy.” I stood up and put my hands over my head and tried not to believe it.
“How could you do this, Jesse? I loved you. Why, Jesse?” A voice said. I turned to Candice who had her head buried in her hands crying.
