Memories That Fade Like Photographs.

I've Been Played a Fool

Things were good for awhile, despite me living with Alex while hiding a pregnancy. Alex held my hair as I knelt over the toilet.

“August, you sure you’re okay? You’ve been puking for like two weeks.” Alex told me, handing me a glass of water after I finished.

“And you’d think I’d know that.” I replied sarcastically, eyeing him over my glass.

“Hey, I’m just looking out for ya, girl.” Alex laughed, shoving me.

“We should probably get off the bathroom floor.” I said and Alex chuckled.

“You’re probably right.” he replied.

“I’m cold.” I stated.

“I’ll warm you up.” Alex said, winking.

“Sure you will.” I smiled.

I walked over to the bed and got settled. I glanced behind me to see where Alex had gone, but he leaped and threw himself on top of me.

“Ow! God, you’re heavy!” I grunted.

“And here I thought I was a fucking supermodel!” he gasped dramatically.

“Nope!” I laughed and shoved him off.

He rolled over to sleep on the other side of the bed, but pulled my back into his chest.

Somehow, even with my morning sickness, I managed to go to school. I sat down in English between Jack and Alex. Alex had his arm around me. Jack and everyone in our group seemed to pay no mind to this. After all, we were already very physical, especially in public.

Unbeknownst to Alex, I would turn to the side after my shower, poking gently at the tiny bump that was already beginning to show. I dreaded the day that I’d have to tell him. Until then, it was pure bliss. Of course, when we walked through the halls holding hands, girls and guys would both glare at us, each wanting to be a part of Dulaney’s Golden Couple.

We sat together at lunch and he’d sometimes feed me french fries, as people looked on in jealousy.

But I knew this wouldn’t last.

--

We were lying in bed one Saturday morning and Alex was lightly tracing patterns on the inside of my wrist with his fingertips.

“Y’know, I’m really worried about you, Gus.” he told me.

“I know.” I sighed.

“You should go to the doctor or something.” he said, gazing into my eyes with his big brown eyes.

“I can’t, you know that.” I replied. Alex nodded in resignation.

My parents were absent. They weren’t abusive or mean, they just weren’t around. And that included when I needed things like health care. Alex’s parents were perfectly happy to take me in and buy me whatever I wanted, but they didn’t have custody of me, so they couldn’t help me when I needed medical attention.

The pregnancy was a lose-lose situation for me. I had to have the baby because I couldn’t afford an abortion, but I would have the baby without all of the medical things I needed.

--

Later that afternoon, I woke up suddenly as my stomach lurched. I dashed to the bathroom and empty the soda and crackers from my stomach, which I’d managed to hold down. Until now.

Alex was at my side immediately, holding my hair and rubbing my back as usual.

But suddenly, he froze and his entire body stiffened. He was looking toward the trash can. Oh shit.
