I do not own Degrassi, just this plot
A few days later, I came home from school and was met with a very angry looking mom. I stood next to the door as my mom continues to glare at me.
"Is there something you need to tell me?" she asked in a forced calm voice.
"No…" I started before taking notice of what was in her hand. It was then I realized I forgot to take out the trash. "Look mom I can explain"
"Explain" she yelled "EXPLAIN WHAT? How my 15 year old daughter is slutting around and got pregnant, and she didn't even tell me about it"
"I was going to tell you" I mumbled not allowing the tears that pricked my eyes to fall.
"WHEN?" she screamed at me "WERE YOU GOING TO WAIT TILL YOU COULDN"T HIDE IT ANYMORE?"
"What's all the yelling about?" I heard my dad ask as he entered the house.
"Why don't you tell him the wonderful news" my mom said sarcastically.
"I..." I took a deep breath trying to prevent the tear that were threatening to spill over "I'm pregnant"
"WHAT" my dad yelled "Please tell me you're kidding"
I just shook my head as my dad looked at me disappointedly and my mom continued to glare.
"Well she won't be much longer" my mom snapped "Let's go Maya"
"What? Where?" I asked looking at her for the first time since she started yelling at me.
"To the clinic, you're getting an abortion." She said as if the decision was already made"
I stood there in disbelief for a minute. I may not have decided on a definite plan yet, but an abortion was one thing that never crossed my mind. I always thought it was wrong and I couldn't believe my mom was going to force me to do this.
"No" I said more confidently than I felt.
"Excuse me" my mom said "You are only 15 years old; you don't get to make a decision like this"
"I am not going to kill my baby" I told her wrapping my arms around my barely visible stomach.
"Fine" my mom said "If you want to make an adult decision, then you can pack your things and get out."
"Seriously?" I asked.
"Seriously" my mom said.
"Now, Laura don't you think that's a bit drastic" my dad said looking at my mom.
"No, if she wants to throw away her life then I'm not going to sit around and watch" my mom said "You need to leave Maya, you can come back for your stuff later."
Knowing nothing would change my mom's mind, I turned around and walked out the door. In the few days since discovering I was pregnant, I thought of every reaction my parents could possibly be have to the news. Never in a million years did I think they would want me to get an abortion. Nor did I ever think they would kick me out.
I'm not sure how long I had been walking; I'm also not sure when it began to rain. As the late spring rain poured on me though, I realized that I had ended up walking to Cam's. I thought about turning around and not bothering him, but then I realized that one I had nowhere else to go, and two Cam would be there for me no matter what.
Taking a deep breath, a reached up and knocked on the door. I hoped Cam would be the one to answer, as much as I love the rest of his family, I just didn't want to talk to them right now. Luck was not on my side today though and Cam's older brother, Justin, answered the door.
"Is… is Cam here?" I asked through chattered teeth realizing for the first time that I was freezing.
"Wow, you look like a drowned rat" Justin laughed before apparently taking in my face "Didn't mean to make you cry"
I hadn't even realized I've been crying myself. Honestly, since I left my parents' house I've felt nothing but numbness.
"I need to talk to Cam" I said "Is he here or not?"
"Yeah, hold on a second. CAM" Justin yelled the last part.
"WHAT" I heard Cam yell back.
"The doors for you" Justin replied again before turning back to me "Well, come on in then"
"Who is…" Cam started walking in the living room before noticing me. "Whoa, Maya are you ok? You're soaked, and have you been crying?"
Not caring about the fact that I was soaking wet, or that Justin was still in the room, I threw my arms around Cam and laid my head on his chest, letting the tears fall freely. After a second hesitation, I felt Cam's arms wrap around me.
"This is too much for me, I'm out" Justin said leaving the room.
"What's wrong My?" he asked.
I tried to tell him but I just continued to cry harder. After a few more minutes, my tears began to run dry.
"How about we get you some dry clothes, then you can tell me what's wrong, ok?" Cam asked once he noticed I wasn't crying as hard.
I managed a soft nod, and then followed Cam down the hall and into his room. Realizing I still was carrying my bag from school, I set it down by the door as Cam rummaged through his drawers
"These should fit you" Cam said handing me a pair of sweatpants and a t shirt. "It's the smallest pair I own."
I headed back down the hallway and into the bathroom. After changing out of my wet clothes I headed back to Cam's room.
"Here let me throw those in the dryer" Cam said taking the soaking wet bundle of clothes out of my hands.
Still feeling extremely cold, I grabbed on of Cam's hoodies and threw it on. I curled up on the bed and waited for Cam to come back.
"Hey Cam" I heard his mom say as the door slammed shut
"Oh, hey mom. Maya's here is it ok if she stays for dinner?" I heard Cam reply.
"Maya's here" I heard Lily exclaim.
Lilly is Cam's 8 year old little sister and she absolutely loves me. Whenever I'm over here she is usually attached to my hip.
"Lily, leave her alone" I heard Cam shout but it was too late.
I sat up and put on a fake smile as Lilly came skipping into the room.
"Hello Maya" she sang cheerfully "Want to come play a game with me?"
"Not right now" I told her.
"Please" Lily said giving me the puppy dog eyes she knew I fell for every time.
"Didn't I tell you to leave her alone?" Cam asked her as he entered the room.
"But I haven't seen her in forever" Lily sighed dramatically just as Cam's mom came into the room.
"Hey Lily" she said "Why don't you go do your homework and then maybe Maya will play a game with you after dinner?"
"Yeah" I said "Will play a game later, ok?"
Lily thought for a second then looked at me "Promise?"
"I promise" I told her.
"Ok then" she said before skipping out of the room.
"Your dad is going to be home soon so I'm going to go order pizza. I'm assuming you guys want the usual?" she asked
"Yeah" Cam said before she walked out of the room.
I felt my fake smile drop, once everyone was gone. Cam laid down and pulled me into his arms. "You going to tell me what happened now? I mean why you showed up at my door soaking wet and crying?"
I curled into Cam's side, and continued to lay there for a little while.
"My parents found out" I whispered after a few minutes.
"And I'm guessing they didn't take it well?" he asked rubbing my back.
"They kicked me out" I told him.
"Are you serious?" he asked looking me in the eyes.
"Yeah" I said starting to cry again "M-m-my mom told me that if I wasn't willing t-to get an abortion then I had to leave, so I did"
Just then Justin knocked on the door and leaned in "Mom told me to tell you guys that the pizza is here"
"Tell her well be there in a minute" Cam said.
Justin looked like he was about to make some smart ass comment, but he seemed to take one look at my face, nodded, and left.
"Come on" Cam said wiping the tears off my face "Why don't we go eat then after we can talk to my parents, ok?"
"But what if they kick you out?" I ask.
"Then we'll figure it out" Cam said.
"Ok" I said.
On the way to the kitchen, I stopped by the bathroom to make sure all traces of tears were gone. I replaced my fake smile, not wanting anyone else to see me cry today, and entered the kitchen.
