Gabby's pov

A few weeks after the party

I was so relieved when everything went back to normal. I was able to put the party behind me. I still couldn't be the way I once was around Alex, but thankfully Gracie didn't notice. He tried to make things better, but it never would be. I felt bad since he didn't know why. Then I remembered he took my v card and didn't even remember. It made me hate him so much easier.

Gracie started dating a guy that hung out with Alex, so it seemed like we were always around him. I started to avoid going over to Gracie's more. I told her I did it to give her and her new man some alone time together. It was just too hard seeing Alex and his girlfriend being all over each other.

I felt like if I didn't get over this soon, I was going to possibly lose my best friend. She has tried setting me up with a few guys, but I just wasn't interested. I sat in my room all alone more and more. I have been sick for the last few days so that has been my excuse. Thankfully, everyone is buying it. Or so I thought.

I heard a knock on my door, and Gracie came in. She brought me some movies, magazines, and soup. She was the one that always did this whenever any of us got sick. I loved her so much for it. It made me feel guilty that I was avoiding her just so I didn't have to see Alex. I missed her.

"Hey girl brought you a few things to hopefully cheer you up. Are you still feeling sick?"

"Yea a little bit but I am getting better. How have you been?"

"I miss my bestie that's for sure. Please tell me you are still coming to my party tomorrow night."

I forgot all about it. There was no way I could miss this party without upsetting Gracie. After all it was her birthday. I just needed to suck it up for at least one night. I missed her, and I hated staying away. Maybe Alex wouldn't even be there. I hoped.

"Of course, I am going. I wouldn't miss it."

"Yay you should come over early and we can get ready together."

"Okay I will be over tomorrow early."

"Okay get some rest and I will see you then."

I felt better after seeing Gracie. No matter what was going on I couldn't push her away. I needed to get over Alex. I couldn't keep doing this. I was ruining everything for a guy that didn't even remember he was with me. It was time to forget all about that night.

I started to cry. I was not the type of girl that cried over nothing, so this was weird for me. Maybe I was getting ready to start my period. I grabbed my phone and looked at my app I had that told me when I would start. I was five weeks late. Maybe it was just from the stress. I mean there couldn't be any other reason.

I was beginning to panic. I was drunk and so was Alex the night of the party. Did we use protection? I needed to go to the drug store and buy a test. I hurried to grab my purse, hoodie, car keys, and leave. I didn't even take the time to change my clothes. Right now, the only thing that mattered was getting a test.

Once I bought the test I went into the bathroom. I didn't even wait to get home. I needed to know. Once I was done, I held on to the stick for dear life. This could change everything. If I was pregnant, how was I ever going to face Gracie or Alex again. I looked at the results and sure enough it was a plus sign. I was going to be a mother.

I put the test in my purse and got in my car. I just drove around not knowing what to do. I couldn't go talk to Gracie because she can never know. I felt really alone. I went home to talk to my mom. I was scared to tell her, but right now I needed her. I couldn't face this alone.
