Swayed Offcourse

skip again but because I wasn feeling well. By now, I should be feeling better but only dizziness and vomiting have been the rounds of the day.

You look awful, Becky returned after a morning of messing around with Tristan.I don know but when I woke up next to Richard this morning, I started feeling some headache with some dizziness. Lets not forget how I kept feeling the urge to vomit after entering the kitchen to help Richard cook us breakfast, I narrated.

You look rather pale…Is it me or does your breasts look bigger today?

I noticed it earlier when I was taking a shower but I paid no attention to it, I answered.

She looked at me with a rather worrying expression.When you and Richard have sex, do you use contraception. You know pull-out, condoms and some plan B because I am getting suspicious here.

We do. I ensure I take my after pills and he pulls-out and occasionally we use condoms, I retorted.

She took a deep breath, sat on the bed and indicated that I sit by her which I did. Look I think we should go to the pharmacy across the street and buy a pregnancy test, she said in a very calm tone.

You are joking right. Pregnancy can be the reason for my illness. I mean morning vomiting when I smelt the food…, I trailed off after consideration. It could be that I am pregnant even though I doubt it.

You see, even you agree with me that pregnancy is a possible cause for your illness this morning.

I was in denial. I refused to accept that I am pregnant. I can be pregnant. Just imagine me telling the agency that I am pregnant. I know for sure I am going to lose my spot at Harvard and I have worked so hard to get here. Even my parents would be very angry with me. I have already started getting low grades in school. I really resent myself at this point.

No, no. I refuse to believe I am pregnant, I got up and started pacing up and down repeating it like a chorus.

Would you stop overreacting. Its pregnancy not a murder case, she shouted at me.

Do you know what that single ”pregnancy ” can do to my life and my dreams, I scolded her back.

Well, am I the one that told you to have sex and not do it responsibly, she asked rhetorically. Did I blame you? I kept throwing my hands at her face.

Whatever we better head to the pharmacy and find out for sure if you are pregnant then we can find a way out of this mess.

At the Erica Rose Pharmacy, Becky stood outside the washroom, waiting for me to urinate on the stick. Then I placed it by the sink and waited until the result had appeared and it came out…
