Didn't See That Coming.. by Marisa (book club reads .TXT) 📕

Nothing has happened. Nothing at all. Not only have Mason and I not talked about what happend at my house a month a go but. but. my. my my...period. It hasn't happend.
I walk up to Mason when I enter the Spanish room. He looks up to me and smiles.
"Hey Natalie," he says in his husky voice.
"Are you busy after school?" I ask looking at him.
"Uh, no. Why?" he asked.
"We need to talk and I was wondering if you would go into the city with me?" I ask, this time looking at my feet.

*Mason's Point of view*
"Sure," I tell Natalie smiling. But on the inside I was worried. Whe probably wants to talk about what happend over a month ago.
I really like Nat, i just got scared I guess. I don't want to dissapoint her. So when she walked into Spanish the day after we made love I started flirting with Ronnie. It hurt me to see her run out of the room, but I didn't want to hurt her.
People call me a player, but really its only been lately. I had a girlfriend for three years and when we broke it off I started talking to a lot of girls. I dated a couple more but not as long as my first girlfriend. I guess I'm just afraid to commit again. I guess I'm not only afraid to hurt her but get hurt myself.
"Natalie's Point of View"
I am literally jumping out of my seat. I am so nervous. I'm afraid. What if I am,,, you know. How will Mason take it? I think I'm gonna throw up.
*Ding Ding*
Oh God!
"Hey Nat, ready?" Mason says standing over me. "You okay? You look like your gonna be sick."
"I'm fine. Your car or mine?"
"I'll drive." He says as he leads me to his car.
Thank goodness I thought, who knows if i would be able to drive home.
"So where are we headed?" Mason asked starting up his jeep.
"Um," I say trying to think where we could do this. "Hy-vee."
He nods his head and starts driving. I look out the window and watch as everything goes by in a blur. He had turned on the music so it wouldn't be so awkward, but it still was. We finally make it to Hy-vee and I hop out.
"Hey, stay here I gotta go pick something up real quick," I say before turning and heading inside.
I grab a basket and walk over to the medicine isle. Once I find what I'm looking for I grab four different ones and head to the cash register along the way grabbing a couple water bottles. The lady rings it up and I pay her, then put the bag in my purse and head outside.
I climb into the jeep and put my seat belt on and look down not wanting to look at Maosn.
He clears his throat and says "Where to now?"
"When do your parents get home?" I asked.
"Not till like five. You want to go back there?" He asked.
"Yes please," I say turning my head towards the window.
The whole way home I drink the water. When we arrive at his house, I've just finished the two bottles of water, waiting for the water to settle and make me have to go. We head inside and go to his bedroom. Its pretty tidy for a guy. We take a seat on his bed, and I stare at my hands placed in my lap.
"So," Mason says after clearing his throat.
"Can I use your bathroom?" I ask standing up quickly.
"Yeah its back the way we came on the left," He said laying down.
I grab my bag of sticks and head to the bathroom. Once I get there, I shut the door and lock it. I get the sticks out of their boxes and sit on the toilet and start to pee. Once im done I wash my hands and read the boxes. It says that the results should be done in about three minutes. I sit there and wait. One minute. Two minutes. Two and a half minutes. Three minutes! I slowly get up and walk over to the sink. I look down and my heart sinks.
I walk out of the bathroom and back to Mason's room. I take a deep breath before heading inside.
"Hey you. Come 'ere," Mason says as he pulls me down to lay next to him.
"So tell me something," I say nervously looking at him.
"Hm?" He says while he stares at me.
"Why? Why did you ignore for a month after we slept together? This is the first time your really talking to me and were barely even talking! I just don't understand what I did." I say turning my head to look anywhere but his face.
"I. I tried to stay away. I don't feel like I deserve you. Your gorgeou, smart, kind and loving. I didn't think a great girl like you could be with me. Trust me, it was hard to stay away after that special afternoon," Mason said while forcing me to look at him.
"I, don't know what to say. But one thing I do know is that you deserve better than me. Mason your just as great. I can't tell you how many hours i spent convincing myself that a great guy like you could never be with a girl like me..But Mason I have something to tell you and I don't know how your going to take it. I don't know how to say this, so I'm just gonna come out and say it," I take a deep breath. "I'm late."
Mason looks at me alittle confused before he realized what I was saying.
"You might be...Pregnant?" He chokes out.
I nod my head and say, "Thats what the tests say."

*Mason's POV*
I don't know what to say. I honestly don't. She just told me I'm gonna be a daddy. I know she's waiting for me to jump up and grab her into a hug and swing her around. To tell her that everything is gonna be okay. But honestly this is real life were talking about, not some romantic book or movie. Despite what those things say, right now all I want to do is throw up. Yup thats right, I want to hurl.
Nat see's that I'm not gonna jump up and down or do anything crazy, so she sits down on the bed. I keep a masked expression on my face, knowing that I have to look like I'm not losing my mind over here.
Next thing I know I'm running to the bathroom and I do throw up. I swing the door shut not wanting Nat to see me. After I finish I turn aroud to wash up, and there on the sink are four pregnacy tests. I look at them, and sure enough, they all have a pink plus sign on them, indictating that I, Mason and a girl that I am in love with, are pregnant.
"What the fuck am I gonna do?!?!" I whisper to myself angerliy trying not to be loud, so Natalie doesn't hear. My hand comes crashing down on the counter top and I let out a welp in pain.
Thirty seconds later I hear a knock at the door.


*Natalie's POV*
I watch as he runs out of the room with his hand over his mouth, and I sit their in horror.
He repluses me. He hates me now. He probably just would rather I leave. I mean, when I told him, he just sat their looking sick, and then he actually got sick!
I stand up and grab my stuff to leave. Thats when I remember that I don't have my car. Thats okay I thought, I just live down the street. Only about a fourth of a mile. Won't take that along.
As I walk past the bathroom door I hear a bang, and then a yelp. I don't hear anything else, so I wait a couple more seconds before knocking. I hear some shuffling around, and then the door opens. Mase is standing their brusting his teeth.
"Everything alright?" I ask him in a concered tone.
"Yeah. Sorry about that, you just kind of caught me off guard," He once he finished brushing his teeth .
"I know. I'm sorry. But how do you think i feel? I'm the One with a kid in me! I'm the one thats going to be called a slut. That parents are gonna turn their noses up at. I'm the one that has to have a head the size of a watermelon come out of my VIGINA!" I scream at him as I drop to the gound letting
