Tick tock

"Hello Ms.Reed. How are you?" A lady in a white trench coat walked into the room that Brielle was in and sent her a soft smile.

How am I? That's a good question Brielle Mae thought as she played with her fingers nervously.

"I'm fine" There it was. The two words that every person says to people when they ask how they are and they don't want to say the truth. I'm fine.

"That's good well I have back your test results" Brielle began to panic as she stared at the lady who began reading off the results for her.

She began to breathe heavily and she clutched her right hand into a fist. "Fuck" she mumbled making the lady look up before immediately setting the papers down and hurrying to Brielle.

"Ms.Reed?"

Brielle Mae couldn't hear her. All she could hear was the running thoughts of her anxiety.

She shook her head repeatedly making the lady immediately push gently down on Brielle's chest, forcing her to lay down.

"Brielle Mae I want you to close your eyes and think of something that makes you happy. It can be a place, a person, anything"

Brielle knew there was only memory that always brought her immediate happiness. She began thinking of her mother and father laughing with her as they sat in the fort they use to make for her when she was younger.

She thought of her other mother, her birth mother, who use to pick her up from school and they would go get ice cream before begin gossiping about their crazy lives.

She thought of her half siblings who always seem happy in their own little way.

Brielle began to calm down as her breathing slowly slowed. She unclenched her fist and sighed heavily as she opened her eyes.

Turning her head, she saw the doctor was looking down at her in slight worry. "Are you okay dear?" She asked Brielle Mae who nodded her head.

"Yes sorry I guess I was stressing over this more than I thought"

She sat up and the doctor gave her a sweet smile before returning to the papers. "Here dear maybe it will be better for you to read the results yourself instead of me"

"Thank you" Brielle said and read the paper before it confirmed the one thing Brielle was so anxious about.

Her pregnancy.

"Oh my fuckery fuck" Brielle said as she stared at the paper in complete and utter shock.

"How about we discuss all of your our options and-"

"Thank you so much Doctor but um I need to get home..now" Brielle jumped off of the seat and handed the papers back to the doctor.

She then hurried and grabbed her things and walked quickly out of the room and out of the doctor's office.

Heading home quickly, Brielle could only panic the whole way there.
