Doing the same
The loud music sliced at my ears. People were everywhere. They all looked a lot older than Laura, Leo and me but nobody was paying any attention. Laura and Leo went straight for the drinks counter and I followed them. They both ordered alcohol and Laura gave me a glass too. I looked at the poisonous liquid, daring myself to take a sip.What the hell! I thought, taking a big gulp of the substance. I walked over to Laura who was dancing with Leo VERY enthusiastically.
“Laura!” I shouted over the music.
“What?!”
“Is this how you got pregnant? No wonder! Why are you even doing this? You’re already pregnant” I went off at her.
Suddenly she started crying. I might have been a little harsh. I started to feel really bad. I knew I had a temper and I wasn’t proud of it.
“Hey, sorry I didn’t mean that. I’m sure it was an accident” I said.
“I just thought if I came out here it would get better. I would forget about being pregnant. I would forget about Gabe” Laura looked to the ground.
“I thought you and Gabe were getting along really well, him being the father and all” I said.
“That was until he threatened to kill the baby if I didn’t and kill me too” She shouted and walked over to one of the couches in the room. She sat there sobbing.
“Wait he did what?” I said. I felt suddenly that Laura and I may have had more in common than I thought we did to begin with. Maybe we could be friends. I finally understood her. It was the same for me. I only came with her to this nightclub to get away from something. Jarrod. She had done the same.
