Zoë's POV

It's gonna be fine, I assured myself, as I briskly walked up to the counter, awkwardly placing the pregnancy tests on top of it. The young guy at the counter looked at me, looking sort of, sympathetic? before scanning the tests and placing them in a bag. I handed him the money and picked up the bag just as he grabbed my wrist gently.

"Hope it works out" he smiled sweetly at me.

Well this is a tiny bit awkward.

"Thank you" I said with obvious confusion.

I swiftly walked away and fumbled with my keys, finally unlocking my car and throwing the bag onto the back seat. I climbed in, making my way back to my house.

•••••••••••••

This can't be happening, I thought as I peed on my fourth stick. I put it down next to the other three then washed my hands and left the bathroom, grabbing my phone and anxiously going through Instagram.

Before I knew it, the timer bedside my bed went off, letting me know that I could now go see whether I had just ruined my life or not. Well, here goes nothing.

I slowly made my way into my small ensuite bathroom, closing my eyes as I approached the bench. I opened my eyes when I reached my destination. As I did so, I reminded myself what picture means what. Plus means I'm pregnant, minus means I'm not. Let us pray for minus! I thought to myself.

STICK ONE:
➖➕➕
STICK TWO:
➕➕➕
STICK THREE:
➕➕➕
STICK FOUR:
➕➕➕

Wait, plus means I'm not pregnant! IM NOT PREGNANT BITCHESSS!! I did a little happy dance, picking up the test box and reading the bold letters at the bottom of the box,

➕ PREGNANT
➖ NOT PREGNANT
WE ADVISE YOU TAKE MORE THAN ONE TEST AS IT MAY NOT BE ACCURATE ENOUGH FOR PRECISE READINGS.

Oh, I got it wrong.

Shit.

I cursed loud enough for the whole neighbourhood to hear, and then I realised that I wasn't actually home alone. I instantly covered my mouth, cursing under my breath this time, making my way out of my bathroom and flopping onto my bed. That is, until I heard a creak and looked over to my desk chair to see my twin brother, Chase, with his head in his hands.

"Chase..." I awkwardly croaked out, making him look up.

His face was a dark shade of red and he resembled a tomato at this point.

"when, how, why, where?" He questioned quietly but firmly.

"Y-you saw?" I hiccuped as a few tears slid down my face.

"This, this is gonna sound really weird but I could feel something was wrong with you, so I came up here to check on you and I saw - that, whatever that was." He frowned, looking at me straight in the eyes. "Please answer my questions though Zoë, when, how, why, where?" He looked like he was gonna burst into tears at any moment. Crap, what have I done to my brother?

I exhaled deeply and started off answering his questions "I lost my virginity about a month ago, I guess that's when it happened. How? I don't know? I had sex? um I honestly don't know, it was sort of spur of the moment thing I guess, just felt right, so it happened. Uhmm it was at a party, kinda? We went back to his house-" the house I knew all to freaking well "- and just sorta happened" I finished off, finally breathing again.

"Who." He stared at me " Who did this to you?!"

I trembled, my bottom lip quivering. How the hell was I supposed to tell him that the boy I lost my virginity to, the boy that got me pregnant was none other than his best friend, Luke Brooks.

The kid we had both grown up with, we were all best friends when we were little, Me, Chase, Beau, Jai and Luke. Although I got left out by Beau and Chase a lot cause I was a girl and they were doing boy stuff. Jai would always come play with me cause i guess he didn't care about girl cooties or something like that. Luke would always tag along with Jai so us three would always end up together. As we got older, I grew apart from Luke and became a lot closer with Jai, Beau wasn't in our year, so Chase started to hang with Luke, so now they're inseparable. Just like Jai and I.

"It was L-Luke" I barely whispered, making Chase jerk his head up, his wide, angry eyes meeting mine once again.
