Manage Me
I Got Lost in Your Brown Eyes
Weeks passed. I don’t know how Alex and I managed to occupy the same space without killing each other. I was a week and a half late on my period, but I assumed it was from all the stress and tension.
But then I started puking. Morning to night. And it was so random. I was crouched over the toilet one day, retching and shaking, when Alex walked in.
“That’s sexy.” he mocked.
“Shut the fuck up, I probably just looked at your face.” I shot back. He flipped me off and left.

Surprisingly, I was still friends with the guys as well as Lisa and Annie and Jessie and Kara and those girls. I went over Lisa’s one day. We were painting our toenails by the pool, when I turned to them.
“Guys, I missed my monthly.” I whispered.
Lisa’s eyes bugged out. Kara put her free hand overtop of mine.
“You think you might be...?” Annie asked.
“Maybe...I mean I’ve only had sex once...with Alex...and he didn’t use anything...” I said slowly.
“Did he pull out?” Lisa asked. Annie, Jessie, and Kara gave her a look. “What? I can ask!” she said, shrugging.
“No.” I whispered, my voice small.
“Alright, as soon as our nails dry, we’re taking you to get a test. You’ll take it here so Alex won’t see. How’s that?” Kara suggested, taking charge of the situation as usual.
“Good idea.” I nodded. I couldn’t help but glance down at my exposed stomach. How could another person be growing in there?

We stopped at CVS and picked up three pregnancy tests. We kind of made a game out of it. I needed to drink enough for the tests, so I chugged a huge glass of water while the girls cheered. Finally, it was time. They left me alone to do the tests then we all waited. The timer on my phone went off and we looked.

Fuck. How was I going to tell Alex?
More importantly, how the hell was I going to be a mother?

Notes
Title: Brown Eyes, Lady GagaOhohohohoh! Brooke!
A lot of you want Alex and Brooke to make up but I can honestly tell you it won't happen for a few chapters :(
Thanks to:

I've been stumbling across stories I've read, and checking them out again since I seem to forget them after it's been a while. This was one of those cases.
Reading this again, and after reading other stories on here and Mibba, I've realized that with my last comment, I was a bit off. Yes, Brooke and Alex's relationship was cute when they were together/sweet to each other, but reading it again, their relationship was a bit abusive. Neither is completely innocent, but the version of Alex you wrote in this took it to the next level. I realize a lot of it was because of his insecurities, what he dealt with in the past, etc., but Brooke didn't deserve any of that. When she did mess up, she definitely didn't take her anger to the levels he did.
Idk, I'm conflicted because again, when they were together, it was cute, but then it just got sad when they weren't. I'm not sure why she put up with as much as she did.
Your writing is still good, though. Just wish they didn't have so many downs in their relationship. It got really sad at a lot of points, and I just felt Alex didn't need to take it to the degree he did, I mean really.
I doubt you saw my other comment, but just thought I would comment again as an update and to possibly get you to see it.
