(Arata)
The thudding of my heart was the only sound that echoed in my ears for the next few seconds.
I cleaned myself and proceeded to check the stick.
Closing my eyes, I breathed in and picked it up.
One red line was supposed to show.
Two lines were to mean.
Two clear red lines mockingly stared back at me.
My cold hands shook so violently that I dropped the stick on the floor and took a step back while stifling a shriek.
PREGNANT???
How could I be?
This has to be a mistake. Maybe the kit was faulty. They are not always accurate.
Right???
Panic gripped every muscle in my body as if an anaconda had wrapped itself around me.
My breathing went erratic, and even with the winter season, sweat trickled on my temples and back.
Placing my hand on my uncontrollably beating heart, I tried to make sense of this.
It didn't.
