It was hard to believe that it had been a month since they had broken up, a month since they had exchanged that last I love you. Maya had been feeling off that entire month and when her period didn’t show up, she honestly blamed it on stress. Turns out, your boyfriend cheating on you and then breaking your heart can be kind of stressful, at least that was what Maya was learning. Maya was having a hard time trying to adjust to everything that was happening. Between trying to survive midterms, doing her volunteer work down at the mental institution and trying to get her best friend to enjoy life again, she had no time to eat or sleep or well, take care of herself.

Caleb was her everything, her entire world and the only reason that she breathed it seemed. And without him, she felt like someone had punched a hole in her chest and ripped her heart out. Mistakes happen, she understood that. How did it happen though? Was he that drunk? Did he get drugged? Maya was honestly hoping that it was some sort of drug, not that she liked the idea that someone had sexually assaulted Caleb, but she liked that idea more than the thought of him willingly getting into bed with another woman and fucking her. Maya was trying to not wallow, but she saw him that day. It was from afar, but still he was there. Just standing in line getting a coffee with Bennett, but she still saw him. Her heart broke a little more every time that she saw him and it took everything she had to not take him back.

Maya sighed as she rolled onto her stomach, frowning as she felt a bit of discomfort in her breasts. She blinked as she sat up and pulled her phone out, checking her calendar. She’d missed two cycles? How was that possible? Maya all of a sudden started to feel, well panicked, like she couldn’t breathe. As the realization of what could very well be happening slowly sunk into her, Maya started to feel sick. This was not part of the plan, if she was right. Quickly, she sat up and went into the bathroom, digging through the bathroom cupboard and cabinets. She had a friend who had a pregnancy scare and Maya wound up buying a couple different tests, just in case one wasn’t giving a good result.

Waiting was probably the hardest part for her.

Maya sat on the edge of the bathtub, checking her watch. The three minutes was up and she wasn’t sure if she wanted to see the results on the test. As she pulled the stick off of the counter and looked at it, she felt her heart speed up and her hand started to shake. She pushed her hair back off of her face as she saw the two lines. Two pink lines. “Well, shit.” She muttered under her breath. Maya grabbed another test out of a box and put it into her bag. She needed to tell Clementine about this, she needed to vent to someone and most of all, she needed to know what do to.

As she drove to Clem’s, her mind was going a million miles an hour. Did she tell Caleb, or did she just deal with it on her own? She could have it taken care of, Maya never liked the idea of an abortion, but it may be the best option for her. Caleb and her weren’t a thing anymore, and she didn’t know if she could ever trust him again. Maybe they could still be friends one day, but she could never raise a kid with him. Not after what had happened. They had been through a lot of shit, and maybe if this happened, then maybe they weren’t supposed to end up together. How happy could they have been if it was on again and off again?

Pulling into a space, Maya killed the engine and got out of the car. She rarely ever knocked when she went over to Clem’s, even when her parents were alive she often found that she didn’t knock. Seeing that Fred’s car wasn’t in his spot, Maya sort of hoped that Clementine was home alone. She pulled her back out of the passenger’s side of the car and locked it behind her. Going into the house, she went into Clementine’s room and flopped onto the bed, sighing.

“So, I think I may have a problem.” She said as she looked over at her best friend. Maya didn’t even greet her with a hello, not that she often did. “Turns out, I’m not stressed out. At least according to a pregnancy test I took less than an hour ago.” Maya sighed heavily. “I’m pregnant with Caleb’s baby Clem.”
