Part 2, Aftermath

Aftermath


Oh no! No no!!!!
My head spins
My mouth gets moist
My throat starts to close
The sweats dews on my face and neck
My stomach suddenly heaves upwards
Choking me with my last meal
I launch forward throwing myself over the toilet
Which lately seems to be my new best friend
My head spins wildly around in circles
Have I eaten something bad? Or gotten the flu?
Massive nausea, vomitting uncontrollably, swollen and bruised breast....
Could it be?
My mind races through the proof as I lurch myself over the toilet once more
No that can't be!
Denial, its a wonderful thing
You have to have.....
My racing mind halts to an abrupt stop
Oh my god!!
Our first time.....
Just then my stomach turns once more
This time from the realization that my "Aunt Flow" has not been to visit me since then
With the queasy feeling racing through my body, stretching itself clear to my fingers and toes I stumble as I push myself to my feet
I grab the only sure way to know the truth and rip it from its plastic
Violating it I now wait...
Tik tok, tik tok
As I stair at the stick waiting for my future
My hands begin to shake and my palms sweat
This little pea stick could change everything
My mind races to that one night
Our first and only night together
Then the evils of the world took him from me
My eyes burn from the grief
Just then I glance at the stick
My heart stops as I suck in a sharp painful breath
The one word steals my heart
And changes life as I know it
