My Faults

Valerie's P.O.V.

Once my face met the fresh night air, I ran towards the bike stand. I wish we had a car. I whimpered as I unlocked my bicycle, hearing Louis come up beside me, out of breath. "Valerie?" Louis asked quietly. I shook my head, not bothering to wipe my tears. I got onto my bike, careful to not sit down. I whispered, "You'll find out soon... Lou.. can we head down to the Pharmacy? The 24 hour one? I need to get.. something.. " I glanced at Louis. He came close to me and wiped my tears away, nodding at me. "Okay.." he murmured, "Wait for me?"

I nodded curtly as he unlocked his bike. He hopped on and we rode quietly to the Pharmacy. "Valerie.. sit down.. you'll hurt your back," Louis warned me. I let out a strangled sound and said in a shaky voice, "I'd rather break my back than sit down right now." I shook my head, sniffling quietly. "There's no way I can sit down..." I hiccupped quietly as my breathing got more shallow. I fumbled for my puffer, then putting it to my mouth, I pressed the inhalant once. I breathed it in deeply, then exhaled out shakily. That was the second time today. What did I do to deserve this life? Does God really hate me? "Burn in hell... burn slowly.. let your skin burn, Valerie." As we rounded down the corner, Louis sped up a little faster and reached the Pharmacy first. I took my time, allowing myself to blink away the fresh tears sprouting out from my eyes.

"Why are you there? Why are you always here? Torturing me every single time?" I choked out loud. Louis gave me a confused look. "Just let me be... leave me be, Chrissy Doll..." I whispered. My eyes began to ache, considerably. Everywhere aches. "Oh, but you loved that ache, didn't you? Don't you just love the dark side?" Chrissy Doll laughed high in my ear. I shakily stopped and got off the bicycle, wheeling it towards Louis'.


Louis' P.O.V.

I watched Valerie's pained face. I need to know what's going on. Something worse is happening to her. But fucking Bald Top said there was nothing wrong.. unless.... I forced myself to hold in my rage as I took Valerie's hand in mine. She seemed to lighten up. Seemed. As we walked into the Pharmacy, we were greeted by Mallory, the usual assistant of the store. She took Valerie's small frame into her arms and whispered sweet nothings in her ear. She was like a mother to us. A mother.

In the summer days, we used to drop by and help out, often spending our evenings in the Pharmacy. Valerie and I grew real close to her over the years. Our small suburb, Montgomery, was an old one. With the same people over the years of our young lives. Mallory was always there to support us.

It took me a moment to realise I had frozen at the entrance. Startled by some chatter, I turned towards Valerie and Mallory. I approached them as Mallory led Kitty to the female section of products. Valerie.... how will I find out? As if she heard me, Valerie turned to me as Mallory handed her a box. A small thin box.

A pregnancy test.

Valerie's P.O.V.

I tried to stop my tears as I watched Louis' reaction. His face contorted back in anger as he turned around, a string of profanities escaping his mouth. "Louis, dear? Come now, I'm sure your sister has had a rough day and so have you," Mallory spoke softly. I thanked her quietly as she broke Louis' growing frustration. Louis then reached for his wallet but Mallory shook her head and smiled warmly, saying, "I'll let you have it. Go on home now; it's only an hour till midnight."

I hugged her again and kissed her cheek. "Thank you, Mallory. Take care, okay?" I greeted her farewell. I moved away as she smiled and headed for Louis. I laughed lightly as Louis pulled a face. Mallory's laugh echoed mine as she planted a big, wet kiss on his cheek, her famous 'kissing' sound piercing all tension. His cheeks tinged red as he bashfully farewelled her, "Bye Mallory, thanks for the support. Beat up all the jerks out there, okay?" He added cheekily. We all laughed at that. Mallory once almost beat Louis up when I was 8 and he was 11. We were on a pranking rampage. Right when Louis was about to launch a water balloon, she popped out of no where, holding Louis in a head-lock.

I smiled lightly at the memory as we left the Pharmacy, riding back home. No words were shared for the rest of the night. I knew that we were both clinging onto these last minutes of happiness.

I had no sleep for the last 8 hours, letting the new day fall in. I sighed as I got up from the floor, letting my painting dry. I decided that I hadn't let myself go with my creative side for far too long. But even with the painting, I couldn't let my mind wander freely. I was chained and a barrier was held up before me to reach freedom. My mind only allowed me to focus on the past events. Am I pregnant? I walked towards the bathroom, the pregnancy test in hand. As I slipped quickly in, I locked the door shut, fumbling with the box. I ripped open the seal, reading the instructions. Wait.. I pee on it? I thought I had to stick it up my.. I observed its shape then nodded lightly. It's far too savage of an object to put it up there. A sharp pain rushed to my womanhood as I imagined my reaction to stick the object up. I groaned softly and shook my head. Time to reveal some truth..

I sat down on the toilet, spreading my legs apart before letting my urine hit the test, splattering all over my hand. I grimaced and thought, this is disgusting.

Notes

Okay, that's all I'm revealing tonight. XD Sorry it took long. My laptop's a slow coach. -.-
