Ella rushes towards me. She puts her arm around me and then looks at me.
"What's up, Lee?" She asks, sounding concerned. I don't blame her though, I barley ever cry.
"Nothing" I lie, hoping that she won't be able to see through me like she usually does. I start to cry again. I take a deep breath and then I open my mouth to explain to her what's going on. I try to speak, but it doesn't work. It's like someone has removed my voice box or something. It's probably because of the massive lump that I have in my throat from all of the crying. I wipe my eyes and try again, but still nothing. This makes me start crying again. "Come on, you know you can tell me anything", she's right. We have been best friends since we were five and we have never kept secrets from each other, we're like sisters. We met in primary school and even the teachers couldn't pull us apart. Every time we were put into a seating plan, the teachers would know to make us sit together. I can still hear the music coming from up stairs, where the rest of the girls are. I can hear Stacy singing along to one of my favourite songs. This song usually makes me smile, but this time it is doing the opposite, nothing can cheer me up right now. I've missed the girls so much and I was so excited to meeting up with them all today.
*Flash back*
I was sat on the sofa watching TV, not really having much to do. Then all of a sudden my phone started to vibrate. I looked at it and it was a text from Ella, this made me smile. I opened the text, thinking it would be her sending me a joke. I love that about her. She's that friend that always makes a joke out of everything and is barley ever being serious. It said "Sleep over at mine, tonight. Just me you, the girls and the booze! Be there or be square! ;)" How could I say no to that? I have missed them all anyway. I had only seen Ella, Jane and Stacy in the last month and don't get me wrong, they are amazing, but I've missed the rest more. It's mainly because I had seen them anyway; seeing as though we all went to Spain together a couple of weeks ago and it was amazing! We decided to take a trip to celebrate us doing well at uni. Me and Stacy are studying Law at a well of university, one of the best actually. I'm hoping to become a lawyer and with the grades I got, that might just happen. I was so glad, and I know my parents are extremely proud of me. They always wanted me to do well and have a good, highly paid job, which is what I want too. That's probably why I chose that career path. Jane and Ella are both studying Sociology, which is probably why Ella always knows what I'm thinking the whole time. I stand up to get some stuff together for tonight. As I did, I felt really light headed and had to sit back down again. I'd been having stomach pains and headaches for about a week before that, but I didn't think that much of it. I sat back down for a second, so that I could sort my head out. After about five minutes, I decided to try again. I stood up and this time it was fine. I get all my stuff together and then I decided to try and get some of my course work done. I have one year left at uni, and it's my birthday in a few days, so I came to the conclusion that I wouldn't get that much work done. I sat down at my laptop and began to type up my essay. At that moment, I started to feel really sick, like I was seconds away from throwing up. I jumped up and ran to the bathroom. At this point I had no idea what was going on. I threw up about three times, before I managed to get up again. I didn't even eat anything weird, so I thought it was really weird. I don't usually get ill, either so I was really confused. I got up and walked towards the door to see if I could get to the doctors or something. As I walked, I passed my calendar, where I noticed a big red cross over one of the days. I looked around to see that it was marking the day when I am supposed to come on my period. It was crossed on the 4th August, I then realised that it was then the 25th August. I'd missed my period! I then turned over to the previous month, where there was another cross. Oh shit! I thought to myself. It was then when I realised that I was pregnant. How could I have been so stupid, I should have just used something! I left the house with all my stuff and headed to the nearest shop, where I went straight to the pregnancy tests. £10, for a pregnancy test! Expensive, right? I picked up the one that looked the most likely to work and I walked over to the check out, with my head down. It was so embarrassing. People kept looking at me funny and when I got to the till, the cashier gave me a funny look, before she scanned it. I paid her and left the shop as quickly as possible. I went straight to Ella's house, so that they wouldn't suspect that anything was wrong, because I'm never late. When I got there, everyone was already there.
"Leela!" Stacy said, joyfully before hugging. I tried hard to put on a smile for them, even though I knew that they would probably see through it.
"What's up, Lee?" Ella asked. Why does she always have to notice when something is wrong, sometimes I just wish that I could keep something to myself, without sharing it with her. I guess it isn't too bad though, at least I know I always have someone to speak to.
"I just need the toilet" I told them, before running up the stairs to take the test. I heard everyone piling up the stairs after me and then into Ella's room, at that moment I heard loud music begin to play, and everyone started to sing along. I quickly took the test and then I sat thinking about everything that had happened and most importantly, him!
