Well this was definitely unexpected, and not in a good way. Not at all. Ayla had to keep herself from freaking out, going into hysterics, breaking everything, really anything that would give her some kind of relief. But the only relief she wanted right now was a few words that would put her whole world right back into the place where it was supposed to be. And she was dreading that those words would not be what she wanted to hear. When the newspapers had first come out and she'd read the gossip column, she hadn't thought much of it. So what if her dress was made in a way that could have fit a bigger stomach, it'd been a nice dress which she'd bought because she liked it. Besides, it wasn't as though she could have gotten pregnant from having sex with Jared this summer, she'd gotten her period each month in between the time they'd done it and homecoming. And even when they'd had sex again, they'd always used a condom. But it so happened that, ironically enough, now she was late on her periods. And if it was only that.
Realizing that she was a few days late on her cycle had put her in a bit of a frenzy when she'd remembered the gossip column, and really at that point she felt like finding whoever had written it and strangling them for tricking fate like that. She still had tried to be calm as she'd headed to the nearest pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test, just for conveniences. She was probably just stressed, or maybe she hadn't counted correctly so there was absolutely nothing to worry about. Apparently though, fate really wasn't on her side on that one, and the mocking, plus sign had been like a kick in the guts to her. Still, she'd denied the reality - Holly had thought she was pregnant too, she'd gotten a positive pregnancy test and it'd turned out she wasn't pregnant. Maybe it ran in the family... still, she now had no choice. She had to make sure, and she couldn't do it alone, but she couldn't talk to Jared. There was only one person she could talk to, and as she stood in front of her cousin's apartment's door after having knocked, her fingers firmly wrapped around the stupid test in her coat pocket.
