Gwen knew her roommate Doris was acting strangely. For one thing, she kept excusing herself from class to use the bathroom. Nobody needed to pee that often! So, one time Doris was getting a bathroom pass from the teacher, Gwen got one, too, and followed the other girl. She came into the bathroom just in time to see Doris puking her guts out.
“What’s going on?” Gwen asked, handing her roommate a paper towel to wipe her mouth on.
Doris, still looking green around the gills started to cry. “I’m pregnant.”
Gwen held Doris as she sobbed, rubbing her back. She knew Doris had been sneaking out at night to see a boy from town, but she had no idea something like this would happen. This only happened to other people, not her or her friends.
“Are you sure?” Gwen asked, helping Doris dry her tears with more paper towels.
Doris nodded. “I stole a pregnancy test when I started getting sick. And sure enough, it’s positive. What’s worse is Tilly saw me sneaking out last week. She’s going to tell Iron Tits if I don’t do what she says.”
“Oh, no,” Gwen groaned. “What are we going to do?”
New tears filled Doris’s eyes. “I don’t know.”
Awww, poor Doris. 🙁 I just wanted to give her a big hug. This school is a horrible, putrid place to be, and being preggers is gonna make it a helluva lot worse. Betcha not much gets past ol’ Iron Tits.
Oh, and speaking of Iron Tits, I forgot to tell you on the introductory post for her that I completely lost it over the nickname the girls call her. IRON TITS!!!! OMG, I laughed so hard I thought I was gonna croak. Gaaawwwwd, that was hilarious. 😀 😀 😀
Poor Doris. This is going to be difficult for her.
Yeah, it sure is, I agree.
Hello dear friend. I hope you and the family are doing well. Have some fun and enjoy the days of Summer.
Thank you so much, dear friend. xo We are doing very well, thank you. Katy is so much better. Thank you for all your prayers. I hope you and your family are well, too, and that you enjoy the summer.
I am very glad Katy is doing better. I still add her to the daily sage. I learn in Monterey many years ago by the witchy ladies who loved me. Write names to paper, with tobacco and my small tipi. The smoke will send the prayers and hope to the gods. You are welcome my dear friend. Play the song of Nightbirde “I am okay.” She had a 2% chance of living two years ago. The cancer is almost gone. Hope, is the greatest power we have.
Thank you again. And I agree with what you say about hope. What you learned is very interesting!
You are welcome dear Kymber. Native Americans do a similar things. They burn the bodies so the dead can read heaven.
That’s very interesting! I enjoy learning things about Native American culture.
OHH dear!
Thank you, Lisa! Oh dear, is right.
Thank you for sharing!!… life does put challenges before us and though one may not see a silver lining at the moment, perhaps in the future good will come of it for Doris and all, support being the key… 🙂
“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together”…( Marilyn Monroe)… 🙂
Until we meet again..
May flowers always line your path
and sunshine light your way,
May songbirds serenade your
every step along the way,
May a rainbow run beside you
in a sky that’s always blue,
And may happiness fill your heart
each day your whole life through.
(Irish Saying)
Thank you so much for your beautiful comment. I love the Marilyn Monroe quote and Irish saying, too. You’re so right about life’s challenges. Hopefully all will work out for the best.
Been there and hid it for 6 months! Poor thing, it’s the puking that gets ya.
Thank you, Jo. I think that’s what’s getting Doris, too. I can’t imagine trying to hide it. 💖
Old Iron Tits isn’t going to lie this one bit!
LOL Thank you, Jacquie! You are definitely right about this one!
Oh boy! You should have seen my face when I read I’m pregnant lol. Ya know, when there’s so many girls, someone is bound to get pregnant lol. Poor child. So young!
Thank you, Jess. LOL I wish I could’ve seen your face. 😀 You’re right about that. Especially when she’s been sneaking out to see a boy.
I don’t imagine the school will be happy about this.
Thank you, Violincat. You’re right about that!
Yikes. I wonder if they’ll tell Gigi.
Thank you, Audrey. Tilly is really making lives miserable for everyone. Gigi just might figure this one out.
Oh boy! This one was a surprise to me….your editor, you know! It’s not often I don’t know what is going on or coming down the line, or up your sleeve! Poor gal, and I wonder what will happen next.
Lol. Thank you, Bee. I was looking forward to your reaction to this one. 😀
Hooboy. Those consequences of our actions so often come back to bite us!
Thank you, Jacqui. You’re so right about that!
Oh boy. I feel for this girl. Chin up kid. You’ll be okay.
Thank you, Hilly. Let’s hope she will be okay.
