Katie's Fall by Michelle Alexis (free children's ebooks online .txt) 📕

For the whole night they danced and drank. Katie had never drunk before. The closest thing she got was sipping a vodka mis from her sister. At this point, she was so drunk that everything was a blur and whatever her friends said was funny. All she could realise is that she was sitting on a ouch and Jordan sitting beside her, his arms on her shoulders. She saw Jordan grinning at Kyle. Then, he whispered into her ear,

"Come with me."

Katie got up unsteadily, almost tripping over. Jordan caught her before she stumbled. They went out of the club and Jordan hailed a taxi. All Katie could make out was a voice mentiong an address. That was the last thing she remembered before she passed out.

 When they arrived at Jordan's house, Katie had fallen into a deep sleep. Jordan had to carry her on his back. Fortunately, his parents were out of town for the weekend, or he would have been smacked with questions. He managed to unlock the front door and went inside. He carried her up the stairs to his bedroom, andlaid her down on his bed. He covered her with a blanket and sat beside her. He stared at her intensely. There was something about her that made Jordan want her. The way she was shy and awkward entertained him. Her vulnerability gave him a chance to reach out to her. Without realising, he leaned down and kissed her soft lips. She tasted bittersweet and lovely. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked at him with sleepy eyes. She kissed back.

The  next morning Katie woke up with a pounding in her head. She felt dizzy and queasy. She looked around the room and realised that she was in a guy's room. She sat up slowly and felt a chill. She looked down and saw that the only thing that was covering her was a blanket. Oh God, she thought as the memory of last night came rushing back to her. Her hand flew to her mouth. What have I done. A few moments later, Jordan stood by the door, watching her.

"Are you okay?", he asked.

She took a moment to reply.

"I'm fine", she said.

She got out of bed and immediately got dressed. She ignored Jordan who had his eyes glued on her. She stormed out of the room. He followed her down the stairs and grabbed her arm. Katie was in shocked, and jerked her arm.

"Here's my number if you ever need me, for anything", he said to her flatly.

Katie stared in disbelief. She took it anyway and walked away, not looking back.

 For the past few months, Katie had never felt so sick and tired. She got morning sickness and refused to eat anything. Her boobs hurt and felt like they weigh a ton. She looked pale and skinny. One evening, she was looking at herself in the mirror when she noticed that she had a bump on her belly which was unusually big. She gasped and started crying, hard. She placed her hand on the bump and dropped to her knees, the other hand covering her mouth. With a shaking hand, she went through her bag to find her phone. She punched Jordan's number as fast as her shaking could. He picked up on the second ring,

"Hey Katie, what's up? I haven't heard from you in forever."

Katie caught her breath before answering,

"Jordan, I'm pregnant."

Silence.

Katie started crying into the phone. Finally he said,

"I'm sorry Katie, I really am."

He hung up.

 Katie was panicking and could not think of a way to confront her parents. What was she supposed to say? She paced back and forth in her room and thought of a solution. Her eyes were red and puffy from all the crying. She thought of the quickest way to end all this mess. Katie's eyes lit up. She rummaged through her desk and took out a pair of sharp scissors. She stared at it, and drew it near her wrist. Her hands were shaking really hard. It'll be quick, she thought. Clean and fast. She closed her eyes and cut herself, deep. Blood came gushing out of he wound she had made. She did the same to other wrist. A few moments later, she blacked out.

 The next morning, Katie's parents had found her dead in a pool of blood. They were hysterical. They were screaming for her to get up for school when there was no response. Katie's bedroom door was locked, her dad had to kick it open. They screamed her name and shook her, but she wouldn't wake up. Before they took her to the hospital, they helt her in their arms for one last time. When the doctor finished Katie's autopsy, Katie's parents found out that Katie had been pregnant for four months. Katie's mother exploded in tears and dropped to the hospital floor. 

The very next day, they out together a funeral ceremony. Friends and family came to mourn for Katie, even Jordan. He just stood there, watching Katie's dead, cold body being buried. He did not even bother explaining what he did to Katie's parents. He just stood there, feeling numb. At least, he thought, Katie is gone now. Hopefully, in peace.

The End.
