Pregnant At Thirteen - Dalisha Truzy (best short novels .TXT) 📗

playing games, and chugging down an awful drink during a truth or dare game."

 

Sasha's eyes widened in shock, but she didn't say not one word. Capri continued.

 

"I think someone had spiked the drink. It upset my stomach and I ended up throwing up all over that bathroom. I barely made it to the toilet stool."

 

"Dang, that's crazy!" Sasha shouted out.

 

 

"That's not the worse part. What happened is someone came into the bathroom while I was in there and rapped me," Capri finally came out and said as she almost choked on her drink.

 

"Oh, my God Capri! Are you serious? This can't be true. Did you tell anybody? We've gotta tell your parents. I'm so sorry that this happened to you," Sasha said as she slid over closer to her and hugged her to console the best way that she knew how.

 

"No! We can't tell my parents. We just can't, " Capri said in a panic.

 

 

"Okay, okay, but we've gotta do something. You're gonna keep getting sick, eating more, sleeping more, and gaining weight. You can't hide it forever. And what about the boy?" Sasha questioned as she stared at her.

 

"I know, I know. I just need a little time to think about this. I need to process this all. I don't know what I'm going to do about my parents or how to go about even telling them. They may even look at me differently. As far as the boy I have a faint memory of who he is. My vision was so blurry and I was about out of it that I don't even know who he is," she says full of self-pity and embarrassed.

 

The girls both continued to converse about the whole situation as they brainstormed. Capri couldn't believe that she was even pregnant at thirteen. She was still a teen. A teen who wanted nothing more than to enjoy her life, friends, school, and her overall childhood. Having a baby would somehow affect that all. She would become the talk around school, town, church, and everywhere else that she went.

 

Sasha felt pity for her best friend and there was nothing that she could do about it other than just being there for her. Offer her advice and to tell her what's right. Encourage her to speak to her parents. Or to maybe even consider some sort of counseling. She knew that it would be a whole lot of things that would be changing within months. Their relationship maybe even different, but she was determined to remain a good friend; his best friend no matter what.

 

Capri looked over before speaking what was on her mind. She grabbed her hands and squeezed them.

 

"Sasha, make me one promise."

 

 

"Yeah, what is it?"

 

 

"Promise me that you won't tell anybody. Not your parents, no one at school, no one period," Capri stated seriously.

 

 

"I promise that I want to tell a soul," Sasha agreed as she threw up her right hand in the air to swear.

 

 

They have each other a heartwarming hug.

 

"Thank you," Capri simply said with a smile.

 

"Capri, But I can't promise you that if you never remember who this boy is that I want to whoop his butt," Sasha said as she stood up and threw her fits in the air and started punching the air as if she was giving him the beat down.

 

Capri just looked at Sasha as they both busted out into laughter.

 

Chapter 7

 

Capri was in her bedroom messing around on Snapchat talking with a couple of her friends and posting up some videos. She just loved the doggy filter and the princess filter with the flowers. She made her way off of her bed towards her radio, but just as she was about to pop in on she heard her mother shouting out her name.

 

''Capri! her mother yelled out from downstairs.

 

She was sitting in the leather sectional in their living room with her husband by her side.

 

''Coming,'' Capri shouted out as she made her way out of her bedroom, down the hall, before descending the staircase.

 

When Capri walked in from of her parents she automatically knew that something was wrong judging by their facial expressions. She looked down and in her mom's hand was her diary. Her eyes got wide as saucers. Right then in there, she knew that her secret was out as his mouth dropped wide open in shock. She couldn't believe that her mom would snoop into her diary.

 

''Capri, do you have something that you need to tell your mom and me?'' his father said as he stared her into the eye.

 

Capri was nervous as she shuffled her weight from foot to foot. Her parents were staring at her as if they were peering holes through her soul. There was no way that she was going to lie to her parents; she couldn't. It's not like they couldn't read right through her anyway.

 

''Mmm...well I'm pregnant,'' she admitted as she dropped eye contact with her parents as she looked down at the floor.

 

''Pregnant! But you're only Thirteen!'' her mother shouted out in anger.

 

''Calm down honey,'' he says as he rubbed up and down her arm.

 

He bit down on his lower lip and his eyebrows dipped low as a crease of wrinkled were across his forehead. Trying to hold his composure and his anger before her overrated and things took a turn for the worse. This was his baby girl and he just couldn't believe what he had just heard.

 

"I know mom but it's not my fault. It isn't,'' Capri said.

 

''What's not your fault? That you had sex with a boy, that you got pregnant, or that you tried to keep it a secret from us,'' her mom said angrily.

 

Her dad just looked between the both of them as he waited on Capri's reply.

Capri just threw her hand on her hip and shook her head from side to side.

 

''Who told you to snoop into my dairy anyways?'' she mumbled underneath her breath.

 

"Excuse me?'' her mom says as she stood up from out of her seat. She was about to slap the shit out of Capri, but her father caught her hand in mid-air.

 

'' Now, Capri you know better than to backtalk to your mom. We didn't raise you to be like that and you know it, young lady. Your mom asked you a question and you better answer her missy before there be a problem and you don't want that,'' he fired off.

 

Capri rolled her eyes into the back of her head. Her parents were tripping and that is why she didn't tell them because she knew that they wouldn't understand and would blame her as always.

 

''Roll them eyes again and see if you have any to roll when we are talking to you,'' her mother skulled.

 

''Okay...do you remember that party that I attended like two months ago with my friends?'' Capri questioned.

 

She just wanted to get this talk over and done with since her parent had already ruined her privacy.

 

''Yeah...what about it?'' her parents replied in unison.

 

'' Someone had spiked the drink, but I didn't know it. My stomach begins to churn so I headed up the stairs to the bathroom. I hurried inside so quickly that I had forgotten to lock the door. I didn't want to throw up all over myself. Seconds later I heard footsteps and I thought that it was one of my friends coming to check up in me, but it wasn't it was this guy,'' she paused for a minute and swallowed hard before she found herself to be stumbling over her words.

 

Her eyes begin to fill up with water as tears began to slid down her cheeks

 

''A guy? Oh...my God!'' her mom shouted out in horror as he hands clench across her chest.

 

''Go ahead sweaty,'' her dad said as he tried to comfort her.

 

''He... he raped me!'' she shouted out as she busted out into loud whimpering.

 

Her tears, hurt, and pain could be felt throughout the room as her parent's eyes became misty.

 

''Oh sweetie, why didn't you just tell us?'' her mom questioned as tears slid down her cheeks once she pulled her close.

 

Her father was speechless as he joined in as they all stood there and consoled each other.

Minutes later after everything had calmed down she had gotten up enough nerve to tell her parents the whole story of how everything happened and how she could only remember bits and pieces of what happened or even who the guy was that had done it to her.

 

''There has to be something that we can do. We need to go to the police and take out some charges,'' her mom advised.

 

''That would be a good idea sweetie, but she doesn't even remember what the guy looks like or know his name. It's not like she knows where he stays,'' her father says.

 

''I think that we should just take her to the hospital just to make sure everything is okay and we can just take it from there,'' her father stated.

 

''Capri go upstairs and get your things. I wish you would have told us about this as soon as this happened so we could have immediately taken you to the hospital. They could have been able to get a sample so that at least we could have caught this son of a bitch!''

 

Her mother was running and her dad not to get into it with her when her feelings took over and got the best of her. Her father looked at his wife but didn't say not one word as she headed upstairs to get her cell phone and her purse. The first thing that Capri did was sent her best friend Sasha a text message letting her know that the secret was out of the bag. She wished like hell that she didn't write down her secret in her diary, but now it was too late.
