Life As We Know It

Prologue Pt 2.

Kitty POV ~ 1 month later

TW: Teen pregnancy and suicide.

As I'm sitting in the bathroom waiting for Mrs. Kathy to come back with the pregnancy test Liv bursts in screaming "KIETH JUST COMMITTED SUICIDE IN HIS CELL!".

"What the hell are you talking about, calm down" I tell her.

"Kieth was just found dead in his cell. They're saying he hung himself." I sit on the side of the tub dumbstruck. So many emotions are running through my mind first and foremost shock, then fear that this isn't real, next understanding, and then finally joy it's over he's dead. I start crying and Liv runs over asking if I'm ok "I'm fine these aren't sad tears, these are happy tears, he's dead Livvy!". As we are laughing Mrs. Kathy walks in the bathroom with a brown paper bag. "Is that it," I ask dread settling in my stomach.

“Here you go sweetie” she tells me with a sad look in her eye. Mrs. Kathy has been there as a mother figure since my own kicked me out of the house a month ago after I was r***d.

“Olivia let’s go.”

“But, Mom I have to be here I’m her bestfriend.”

“Olivia now!” Hesitantly Liv walks out of the bathroom after looking back at me. 10 minutes later Liv bursts into the bathroom after hearing me start to cry saying, “What’s wrong, Kitty what is going on.” I point at the three pregnancy tests on the counter and start to cry harder.

“MOM!!”, Liv yells her voice cracking.

“What’s wrong, Olivia?” Mrs. Kathy asks barging into the bathroom worry etched on her face. Her face becomes ashen when she catches sight of the three positive pregnancy tests on the vanity.

“Oh, Kat baby are you okay, honey?” she asks as she comes to hug me making me cry harder.

“I’m pregnant.”, I breathe out. “What am I going to do?” I ask as I start to hyperventilate.

“Well, first you are going to calm down. Deep breaths in, out. In, out. Next thing we are going to do is get you a doctors appointment set up for the next couple of days.”, she says gently giving me a hug.

“Oh. My. God. My best friend is pregnant. Ohmygod. I’m going to be an auntie!”, Liv says after being quiet the whole time me and her mom were talking. Me and Mrs. Kathy start laughing at her enthusiasm.

Eventually Mrs. Kathy leaves to go call a doctor friend of hers to see if I can be seen later this week. Me and Liv go to our room and lay on the floor on our sides and stare at each other. “So, how are you doing babes.”

“I honestly don’t know how I feel right now. Like part of me is excited, because you know I’ve always wanted to have kids. But the other more dominant part of me is scared out of my f*****g mind, because I’m f*****g 13. So I don’t really know how to feel at the moment.”
