Celeste attempted to lift her head with a failed attempt; immediately it was lowered. a raging, hot sensation was spreading across her head, causing extreme dizziness. this couldn't be good. at all. panic naturally wished to spread through her entire body but it wouldn't. her head hurt far too much for anything but it to register. slowly adjusting to the lights around her, she noticed that she had been rolled into the hospital wing of the school. the dots she had been seeing were part of the decor on the ceiling, something that she had always thought should be changed to match the rest of the school's beauty. a nurse stood at the end of her bed writing on a piece of paper, clearly stating whatever had happened to her for record, before she looked up to even notice Celeste was coming to her senses. when she did, no matter the delay, she rushed over beside the half-veela girl and gave her a faint smile. "you fainted. one of your roommates found you. you hit your head. do you remember anything, such as why you fainted? judging by the look on the nurse's face, she knew and was wary about it. as for Celeste, the million dollar question was exactly that: could she remember what had happened, causing her to pass out? the reason didn't come back to her automatically, but Celeste was a determined girl. she wanted to figure it out on her own, which automatically head the young girl into a frenzy of different memories from the past few days leading up to the final, important one that was in question. Celeste hadn't been feeling to hot lately. no no, not on the outside, but on the inside. to her, the outside always was a concern. no matter what type of blood she had inherited, she was always self-conscious. today, and the few previous as well, she hadn't felt like herself. something was up. although typically she told Alexander everything, this time around she hadn't mentioned a thing. Celeste didn't like to concern him about her petty uncomfortable feelings. for all she knew it could be her period kicking in- that was due any day now, considering she was late. it hadn't been too long since she had lost her virginity to the love of her life. there wasn't a day that she would regret it. how could she? the half-veela was mad for him and to be able to give her all she had was enough to make her glow. growing up, the girl had always thought that love wouldn't find her. in her mind, there wasn't anything worth fighting for in her. there wasn't anything special or lovable. she wasn't into herself at all; the exact opposite of the twin sister. at times, Celeste would think that one of the reasons as to why she wasn't so confident was because her sister sucked up any of it she had a chance to ever muster. obviously it wasn't really true, as confidence came from within and she knew that, but it made her feel a little more comfortable convincing herself of it. when it came not to feeling well, it was all in her stomach and back. back pains were constant and stomach pains consisted of nausea for the most part. the twin didn't wanted to think about the times that they had neglected to use a condom. it wasn't her proudest moment, therefore her mind diverted from it until it couldn't anymore. waking up this morning had been the call that rung any alarms present in her system. Celeste found herself waking up and grabbing the nearest thing to her to throw up in. unfortunately her friend wouldn't be too pleased that it had been there favourite hat, but at that time she didn't care. Celeste had darted to the bathroom. cleaning herself off, the next step was obvious to her. she had to get a pregnancy test. although she had avoided the possibility for the longest time, the girl wasn't stupid. it was obvious when fears had be too faced with reality. right now being it. Celeste had sent her friend to the muggle world to buy a pregnancy test. many of her family members didn't like them, she had nothing against them though. the only way she knew she could get one was the hospital, besides the wing- which she refused to go to in case it was negative, as they could let it slip by accident and there was no way in hell she was going to have that occur. the friend didn't take long. she returned with not one test, but six. Celeste had requested this as a precaution as the muggles didn't have magic, false negatives were possible and even false positives really. taking the first one, the result wasn't what she wanted to see. overtime, she gained enough bladder to take each and every one of them, all coming up with the same answer. Celeste found herself gripping the sink in front of her, nearly causing her knuckles to turn white; she was pregnant. how could she be pregnant! she was so young. what would she tell Alexander? she couldn't. no way. Celeste knew for a fact that he loved her, the thought of him being angry with her kicked in and scared her though. more than ever. fully aware that a baby took over the parents lives, especially when they're teen parents, Celeste had to think of something. she didn't want to ruin his life with this. he deserved something full- something more than being stuck with her and a baby they didn't mean to have. without noticing, Celeste's breathing had started to pick up and before she knew it, she was hyperventilating. the world started to get blurry and her hands weak. falling to the ground happened quite fast, though on the way down she was unfortunate enough to hit her head on the side of another sink, as well as land on the hard floor. her friend hadn't been in there with her, as she had wanted to do it alone, but within five minutes she had come to check on Celeste and found her on the floor, blacked out. from there she was rushed to the hospital wing, as there was no telling what was wrong with her. it took a full ten minutes after arriving before she had come to it with a pounding head. blinking at the nurse, Celeste swallowed. "i'm pregnant?"

[/b] asking this as a question, her eyes were worried and already aware of the answer. abortion was not an answer for her. there was no way that she could get rid of something that she was carrying, no matter how small and near non-existent at the time. judging by the fact that it was also Alexander's child, that made it all the more special of a being. "i need to go home."[/color] Celeste knew that she couldn't stay at school for the current time. she needed space to think in the comfort of her own home. she also had to deliver the news to her parents before she chickened out. her mother angry was nothing she wouldn't take the fast lane to avoid. being sent home within the hour, she took the pregnancy tests in a bag with her as proof, slouching the hole time she told her parents as if it could make her small enough to disappear into her surroundings. to her surprise, they hadn't been as mad as she thought. instead, more disappointed than anything. they understood that keeping the baby was the only option- or at least her mother did and her dad shut up about it, agreeing like he always did to avoid conflict. curling up in her blanket in her room, Celeste stared forward out of her double-door leading to where she had spent more times than she could count with the love of her life. would there be anymore? what was going to happen? the news was sure to spread quickly to a few people, but for now there was only one person she sent an owl out to, hoping for the visitor to come and make sure she was sane instead of hysterical. Celeste wasn't sure how long she could keep from it either.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, border-radius: 2em; -moz-border-radius: 2em; background-image:url(http://i54.tinypic.com/14e9a45.jpg), width: 400px; height: 400px;] You're guaranteed to run this town Woah, Mona Lisa, I'd pay to see you frown He senses something, call it desperation Another dollar, another day And if she had the proper words to say, ( She would tell him But she'd have nothing left to sell him --------------- ! ) "celeste. wait. hello. slow. the fuck down." harper could barely understand a word her best friend was saying. despite the age difference, harper greyback and celeste harper were roommates, and best friends. there was something that drew them to each other, something of a mutual understanding they had. harper was half werewolf. celeste was half veela. though their respective halves had no feud with each other, it seemed that there was something that connected them because of that. celeste's parents probably despised her for all the muggle-like things that she introduced into their perfect daughter's life. her dad was a muggleborn, and tended to lean toward the muggle side of things when it came to things such as transportation, music and technology. harper shared his favor, seeing as she grew up closest to him, and not her slightly insane mother. harper had quite a good understanding of all things muggle. that was why celeste had asked her to grab the pregnancy tests. she felt like such a slut, sitting there in the drug store, staring at the millions of brands of pregnancy tests. she got the worst looks from mothers in the same aisle, their two year old in one hand, and searching through diapers for the baby on their other hip. as if they were so much better then she was, because they were older. she returned the glare, wanting so badly to say something to the lady, but she didn't, instead turning back to the boxes in front of her. damn it, it wasn't even for her and she was stressing out about which one to get. after a five minute debate, harper simply grabbed one of everything, tossed them into her basket and went to check out. when she returned to her best friend twenty minutes later, pregnancy tests in one bad, two huge bottles of juice in the other, she was stressing out far more then celeste was. waiting was probably the worst part, if they were going to be honest. not only waiting for celeste's bladder to fill, but also for the tests to process. the first one felt like it took the longest. both girls waiting on her bed, clutching at each other's hands, waiting for the two minutes to pass. when it did, they both looked at the little pink plus and said nothing. harper simply shoved test after test after test at her best friend, waiting to get the answer they both wanted. but that damn slash never came up. only the goddamn plus. harper leaned against the wall, unable to look at her now officially pregnant best friend. the blonde was clutching at the sink, knuckles white. damn it. pregnant. harper walked away, half wanting to get maverick and tell fish, but that wasn't her battle to fight. then she thought about telling ellery... but ellery would just end up with a punch in the head. damn it, where was kya when she needed her? kya would know what to do. she always knew what to do. she paced outside the bathroom for what seemed like ages, wondering how celeste was. she was taking an awful long time, wasn't she? rushing into the bathroom, harper looked around for the blonde. when she saw her, she shook her head. "shit. fuck... goddamn." she said. she wouldn't be able to carry celeste to the hospital on her own. after moving her slightly, harper bolted out of the bathroom and down the hall, straight up multiple sets of stairs to the gryffindor common room. slipping in past the portrait behind a student, harper scanned the room before bounding up the stairs to the boys dorms. "quinn harper. sister. bathroom. now." was all she had breath for. once he was in reach, she pulled him by his wrist and dragged him down to the bathroom. luckily, it was the one on the highest floor, so that celeste wasn't there for long. the two of them picked her up and got her to the hospital wing, however difficult it was. once they had her all laid out on one of the beds, harper took quinn outside. "scouts friggen honor right now. i'm not telling you what's wrong. she'll tell you when she's ready. for now... leave it to me, mkay? cool. now... leave. and- don't tell fish." those were her only conditions. quinn was the first person she thought of to help, but it didn't make him special enough to know before celeste was ready. with harper it was one thing. her brother was something else entirely. she explained to the nurse what happened, how celeste had fainted, and harper ran for help. she explained that quinn was her brother, but she was her best friend. the nurse tried to make her leave, but it wasn't happening. "you've got to be effing kidding me." she pointed to celeste. "best friend. out cold." she then proceeded to point to herself. "me. not leaving. got it, sister?" she said, taking a seat next to the bed. she held celeste's hand in hers, rubbing her thumb across it gently. her best friend was in trouble. where the hell did this nurse think she was going? not. a chance. as time went on, harper got more and more anxious. had harper taken too long getting her to the hospital? did she hit her head harder then everyone thought? would she be okay? damn it, was quinn going to murder her? and what about the goddamn baby? yeah, there was a thing growing inside of celeste now. a baby. her baby. hers and fish's. hello, who else could it have been? celeste had never been with anyone else. the entire school knew how happy they were together. fish was going to have a freakin heart attack when he found out. jesus. fish was gonna be a dad. and celeste was gonna be a mom. and harper would be... a godmother? maybe? hopefully? it wasn't as if ellery or marley were interested enough to be godmother. and harper thought she at least got middle name rights if it was a girl. but jesus... a baby. and its unconscious mother. cool. celeste took her time waking up, making harper even more squirmish than usual. when celeste decided it was time to wake up, harper nearly had a heart attack. "jesus." she muttered as she watched the blonde open her eyes. she looked up at the nurse. "yeah. way to point out the obvious." she then looked back to celeste. "yeah, sorta. remember? you woke me up, and six pregnancy tests later, i saw you passed out on the floor. so i ran and got your brother- who, by the way, knows nothing, and i swore him to secrecy, so fish won't know- and... you were knocked out cold. so... what are we-" she was in the middle of her nervous rant when celeste spoke again. "home. like... france or whatever? jeesh, est... i know know what to say. do... you want me to go with you?" all of that was hours ago. celeste went home, told her parents, and owled harper as soon as she knew, asking her to go and see her. within a heartbeat, harper was there. for all her dad was, she loved the man for getting her to celeste's. "hey babe." she said, walking toward her blonde best friend. as soon as they were in proximity, she took celeste in her arms and squeezed. despite the fact that she was two years younger, harper had always been taller. she supposed it had something to do with her family and their werewolf genes. something like that. leading her away from the spot she and fish usually spent time in, harper walked, arm around her best friend, toward the boardwalk. "so... what are you going to do? i mean... how will you tell alex? and... how did mom react?" she asked, slowing their already slow pace so that they could sit in the sand by the boardwalk. ps. i was a little confused about date/time whatever, but... it'll do. and... you told me that she went to hogwarts. so. yeah. love. ♥ ♥ ♥ template by hay shay ! @ caution 2.0 LYRICS BY PANIC AT THE DISCO

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, background-image:url(http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r71/maggiesrpstuff/BACKGROUNDS/fk5qwnjpg.png); width: 457px; padding-top: 30; padding-bottom: 30; -moz-border-radius: 35 35 35 35; -webkit-border-radius: 35 35 35 35;] hi » MISTAKES I HAVEN'T MADE YET Alexander.. baby. their baby. how WAS she going to tell him? Celeste felt like going into some sort of panic mode. anything that consisted of freaking the hell out sounded appropriate really. she was still a baby herself. how would she be able to raise a baby? teen parents had bad statistics going for them. and although she didn't believe any of the father ones when they involved him not staying, she knew right away that it would be unacceptable to mess up Alexander's life. she was already enough of a burden to him, considering how needy and insecure she had been from the start. biting her bottom lip, this was big. and real. so, so real. glancing down at her stomach, Celeste breathed in. there was something inside of her. no matter how small, it was there. trying to imagine terminating the pregnancy wasn't an option. she wasn't a murderer. a tad bit of relief came to her as she came to the knowledge of knowing her parents would understand why she couldn't do it. but what about the rest of her family? she had always wanted to be a role model for Marley, knowing that her baby sister had potential to go so far. now that she was pregnant, that role no longer could apply. Celeste may have been in denial but she did know that a pregnancy would not be an easy thing. instead, it would be anything but. sighing, sacrifices were going to have to be made. but how many? and exactly of what? there was just so much to go over. feeling a sensation filled with comfort wash over her as one of her best friends (if not the best of them all), a Ravenclaw girl younger than she was entered the room. "Harper." she breathed out, her eyebrows scrunched together. "why? why is this happening?" despite how confused and foggy her mind was at the moment, she was ready for any sarcastic or straight-up obvious truth of an answer she could get as surprisingly, that was one of the qualities she had come to love in her Ravenclaw companion. "thank you so much for coming. i don't want to be alone. but.. but i can't see Alexander. not yet. i only want you." rambling, she knew that no matter how fast words were coming out of her mouth with little thought put into it beforehand was true. Harper was the only person who could be around her right now. her family was even questionable. if it was one thing that she refused to do it was be vulnerable. with a family who had at least one psycho pathetic characteristic imbedded deep down in all of the members personalities, it was needed. especially when one of the members didn't hide the fact that she had them- them insinuating that, yes, there was more than one. eyes widening as the two walked along the boardwalk, the air around her flushing in and out of her system as she breathed didn't sooth her as it usually did. instead, it reminded her of summer nights spent on a beach with Alexander, making her stress even more. tagging along with the stress of not knowing what to do with Alexander and the news she had just discovered, Ellery had popped into her mind. her sister was not the kind of person anyone would want around their baby. despite the fact that Celeste believed that deep, deep, DEEP down her sister had some redeeming qualities. a good side to her. however, that didn't mean she had trust that her 'other half' wouldn't do something unacceptable. "do you think Ellery would punch me in the stomach?" swallowing back a large lump that had risen in her throat, she thought hard. would her sister really do such a thing? the blonde frowned at the feeling of an unconfident answer she was attempting to convince herself mentally of. what she had done wouldn't only effect her, it would affect everyone in her life. everyone. Quinton would be immensely disappointed in her. biting her lip, she was afraid of what he would have to say to her. being the only boy in the family, the year difference between them had never stopped him from being protective of his sisters, her obviously being one of them. how would she tell him? telling her parents had been hard enough, but her siblings would be a whole different kind of hard. maybe Harper would help her. keeping a firm grip on her best friend's arm as they walked, she opened her mouth to speak once more. "can you help me tell Quinton? and Marley?" knowing that Ellery would be someone she had to do alone, and unsure if she even had the guts to tell Alexander, it was all she could ask for the time being. a tear rolled down her pretty face as she looked up at the brunette, sucking in a great amount of oxygen before breathing it out, attempting to keep her cool. without surprisingly life changing news like this, Celeste was emotional enough. add in the fact that she was carrying a baby inside of her, already a month along, it was spiking to a whole new level on her scale. thankfully, it hadn't reached above- above being hysterical and beyond being helped and/or calmed down. recalling back to the hospital wing momentarily, Celeste let out a random chuckle. she must have seemed insane. feeling that an explanation was necessary, she phrased her curious amusement in a question. "did you honestly say six pregnancy tests?" no doubt later on she would get her hands on the tests and stare at them, waiting for something to change and noticing nothing would- accepting it even more as time went on. time would have to pass for her to fully accept what was going on. Celeste was a planner. nothing happened without her plotting it out beforehand. at least, until now that was how her life had come about. for awhile she would have merely have to go with the flow. raising her hand up and brushing her hair back, allowing it to flow back with the blast of wind that cruised by, that would potentially be one of the hardest parts of everything that would have to happen from this point on. somehow having managed to distract herself from thinking about her boyfriend, Alexander popped back into her mind. telling him. okay. how was it going to happen. not expecting Harper to ask her right then and there, she wasn't ready. but how would she be? there had been no time to mule it over. "i don't know if i can." she admitted, hoping that her friend wouldn't yell at her with what she had to say next. "i may transfer schools. you know.. to raise the baby.. alone." she paused breifly. "i don't want to ruin his life. i love him too much to do that to him. he has so many dreams.. so many that he can thrive for if he doesn't have to worry about what we didn't mean to happen." the back of Celeste's throat burned already. the thought had been sudden, but already it seemed she had her mind made up. this was what she had to do. she couldn't ruin his life. she wouldn't. tears rolled down her face in a fast, wet steam as she silently cried. sitting down on a nearby bench, her legs didn't have it in them to stand up any longer. the decision was making her dizzy. Alexander was her whole life. she loved him- like, really loved him. what they had was not a childhood romance. no matter what people thought and said behind their back, she knew this and in all honesty, that was all that would ever matter. harper , 1307 words she was in hogwarts.. i'm just braindead lmfao. <3 sorry if it's all over. i'm tired as f*ck.
