living the life (a teen girls story) ch. 5

Karma just took a deep breath as the doctor walked in the room "So Miss Laskaski, you want to know the test right?" he asked. "Yes," Karma whispered, "please." The doctor just handed her the chart and pointed his finger at the line "The test came back positive, its not a definite yet but I am going to schedule you a follow up appointment in a month." Karma let go of the chart and watched it flutter to the ground "I need the bathroom? where is the bathroom?" Karma gasped the door was swung open and she was ushered across the hall. 1

Karma laid her head back against the wall and the tears just started falling and she couldn't stop them. suddenly there was a knock at the door and a quiet "are you ok?" Karma stood up and wiped her tears and said "Yes I'm fine thank you." she heard the footsteps start to fade away she looked in the mirror and stared. Her blonde hair had slipped out of the ponytail and her eyes were red and swollen. her mascara had been running down her face and her mouth was red from biting it to keep from sobbing. she washed her face and fixed her hair as best she could and she stepped out to make the appointment.2

"Karma I need your help down here!" Shawna called up the stairs, "NOW" she yelled. Karma slowly got up off her bed and opened the door. "coming" she called. As she made her way down the stairs she heard someone start yelling "How the hell did this happen? Where you not keeping an eye on her?" Karma cringed as she realized it was her dad. "God Damn it Shawna!" karma stepped into the brightly lit room and said "Hi daddy." he just looked at her his jaw slacked and his face lit up in surprise. "She didn't know yet. I hadn't told her." Shawna looked back and forth between father and daughter and asked "what is he talking about Karma?" just as she was going to answer a male voice asked "So its true? oh god what am I going to tell Sandra?" Karma just turned around and put on the cruelest smile she could manage and laughed "You do what you want, You didn't want me anyway why throw in a child you never wanted or want either." Rich just looked at her sadly and she laughed, "Get the Hell out of my house" and she pushed past him and up the stairs and just ran away from the yelling and fighting. she ran into her room slammed the door grabbed her pillow and curled up, laid her hand on her stomach and whispered, "If your in there I will never make you live with someone who didn't want you in the first place. I promise."
