Chapter 1 You're pregnant, Miss Reinle

• Jasmine''s pov
• Mexico city... 17th august, 2016!
• A smile played on my lips, as I stared at the sheet of paper in my hands.
• "Congratulations, you're eight weeks pregnant, miss Reinle!" The doctor said.
• "Thank you, doctor" I replied.
• My eyes scanned the result one more time, I'm pregnant.. I'm soon going to be a mother.
• Though, I'm just 18 but I'm happy to be a mother, because my boyfriend is very responsible.
• He's not like those shitty guys, that'll abandon their girls because she's pregnant.
• I don't feel any regrets, he's promised to marry me after he graduates and I'm sure he'd be happy to hear this news!
• "Miss Reinle, I'm not trying to be a busybody, but I'd advise you don't keep this pregnancy" the doctor said.
• I stopped smiling immediately he said that, I lifted my head.
• "Not keep this pregnancy?" He nodded. "Why?" I asked.
• "Based on what I noticed, your body isn't ready to be a mother yet"
• I just stared at him silently. Does he knows what he's saying? My body isn't ready to be a mother?
• "If my body isn't ready to be a mother, why am I able to get pregnant?" I asked.
• "It's better you listen to me, you can't bring this baby to life"
• Leaning back on the chair, I crossed my arms on my chest, frown lines appeared on my forehead.
• "What's gonna happen if I decide to keep this baby?"
• "It'll be very dangerous, your chance of surviving will be very slim.. 70-50!" He said.
• Shivers.. bad shivers ran down my spine, when he said those words.
• I got up slowly and picked my backpack off the ground.. and flung it over my shoulder.
• "You're spouting nonsense" I turned to the door.
• I grabbed the handle and pulled it open, but his words stopped me.
• "You should abort it, your parents wouldn't be happy if they heard about this"
• I turned back to him.
• "You're not speaking about this to my parents, I'll discuss with my boyfriend first!" I said and stepped out, slamming the door hard.
• ********
• My hair flew as I walked down the streets, with the wind whistling past my ears harshly.
• I looked up at the sky, the clouds are gathering up and turning dark.. it seems as if it's gonna rain soon.
• Instinctively, I increased my pace, praying I should arrived at Thanatos (my boyfriend) apartment in time.. before it rains.
• In a few minutes, I reached Thanatos apartment.
• I stepped into the porch and quickly reached for the doorbell, I pressed it with a smile on my face.
• "I can't wait to share this news with Thanatos!" I said to myself.
• How would he react to this news? I just can't wait to find out!
• Continuously, I pressed on the doorbell but got no response.. maybe he's not home.
• My eyes moved to the flower pot, where he normally hides his spare key.. I searched it but didn't find the key.
• "Where did he go?" I wondered aloud.
• The it occured to me, today's Wednesday and he'd be in class.. in fact, I'm supposed to be in class.
• But I had to skip today, since I'm feeling sick and stuff.. I reached for my phone to give him a call.
• I dialed his number and waited for him to pick up.
• His phone kept ringing, but he didn't pick up.. I redialed again and the same thing happened.
• "Hey! Jasmine!" I heard a familiar voice called me.
• I turned with a smile, hoping Thanatos is also with him, but I met disappointment.
• "Clark!"
• "What are you doing here?" He asked me.
• "I'm looking for Thanatos, have you seen him today?"
• He shoved his hands in his pants pockets and sighed, he looked away from me and whistled.
• "Why are you whistling?" I asked.
• He just continued whistling, avoiding to meet my gaze at all cost.. my brows drew together at his expression.
• "Where's Thanatos?"
• Clark met my gaze this time, he sighed once more.
• "Thanatos.. he left" he said.
• "He left?" I'm confused by his meaning of *left*
• He nod, making me even more confused.
• "Left? What do you mean by.. he left?" I asked again.
• "I mean, he left, Jasmine! He left mexico!"
• He left mexico?! Why would he leave mexico? He's not done with his schooling yet!
• Or....
• I blinked twice and stared at him, waiting for him to burst into laughter.. waiting for him to tell me he's joking.
• "You're serious?"
• "Yes, he really left!" He replied.
• "When is he coming back? And where did he go?"
• "He didn't tell me when he's coming back. And I don't know where he went"
• Why am I hearing a sound in my heart? Why do I feel like someone is drumming in my chest?
• "How come you don't know where he went? Isn't he your best friend?"
• "I don't know where he went, he just called me and said he's leaving"
• Clark is lying, I can feel it that he's lying.. he knows very well where Thanatos went.
• "Jasmine, if I were you, I'd just forget about him" he said.
• "Forget about him?" I released a dry laugh.
• Forget about him.. what about our child? I'm carrying his child, what should I do with it?
• "Go home, it's gonna rain soon" Clark said and left.
• I staggered back as his words replayed in my head.
• Thanatos left?! Why didn't he tell me about it?!
• I quickly redialed his number.. his phone kept ringing but just like the first time, he didn't pick up.
• Thanatos left?! Where did he go without telling me? Or is he mad at me?
• Right at that moment, my ringing tone blares loudly. A smile spread on my face, it must be Thanatos.
• But the smile left just as it came, it's not him, it's my mom calling. Reluctantly, I received the call.
• "Hello...."
• "Jasmine Reinle, get your butts home now!" Was all she yelled and disconnected the call.
• I sighed and keep my phone in my pocket, I looked up and saw the dark cloud still moving.. I wonder when it's finally gonna rain.
• Well, I better start going home before it rains, I'll call Thanatos later and tell him about the pregnancy.
• I stepped away from the porch and walked to the road, I boarded the first taxi I saw.
• "Reinle resident!" I said.
• "Yes, ma'am!" The driver replied.
• Reinle resident.. very popular around here, we're the richest family here and I'm the second lady of the family.
• Many of the people here envy us, but what's there to envy, they don't know what happens behind closed doors!
• They just see the happy and perfect family my father wants them to see... I sighed and rest my head against the window.
• Let's forget about my family, I don't like talking about them.
