Episode 3
âWhat am I going to do Tonia?ââ they are
standing in front of her house
âI donât have any idea. But how can you not
know who the father is, I mean I may have been
with a couple of guys but I remember them, not
that I keep count though but I do, so how come
you donât remember who you went skinny
dipping with, this is huge Meg, like bomb hugeâ
âLook unlike you I donât sleep around with guys , much less random, the only dude that I was
you know⊠was Fred, and I havenât seen him
since last Christmas and we broke up way before
then and the last time we shagged was months
ago except I got pregnant then and the baby
suddenly developed which is impossible, over a
year ago? No.. the test rightly said four weeks..
thatâs a month ago, I wasnât seeing any one a
month ago⊠heck for a year now so how the hell
did I get pregnant? It doesnât make senseâ she
sinks down to the pavement
Tonia slidâs down beside her âOkay calm down
Meg letâs figure it out. Letâs think. So a month
ago⊠no guys at all like at all?â
âDude I would remember, I havenât been with
anyone and I would be stupid to be with
someone without using protection. I would never
do that, if I was so h—y and I needed a good
loving, I would have the good sense to have him
put on a condom or better still I would have
worn my contraceptive patch, I always have
those. But it doesnât make sense⊠I wouldnât
have slept with a dude in my right senses
without protection, I know the consequences of
that, I would have been really really careful. I
wouldnât â
âOkay, what if you werenât in your right senses Meg?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âI mean, if you donât remember sleeping with
someone and getting pregnant, what if it
happened while you werenât exactly in your right senses?ââ
âI am still not getting what you are saying Toniaâ
âI am saying dummy is that what if it happened,
because maybe you were drugged, you know. I
hear of those kind of stories all the time, itâs
used for raped victims too, they go out with
friends, get drugged and get raped and have no
recollection of it, and the b——s goes scot
freeâ
Megan looks at her friend, then she bursts out
crying âI was raped⊠I was raped and got
knocked upâ she wailed
âShhh girl. Well we donât know that bitâ she
hugs her friend
âWell is there another explanation? I ainât a
sister to Mary Mother and I am sure as hell ainât
giving birth to another Jesus, no angel appeared
to me to tell me I was going to birth to a
Messiah so which other explanations are there?ââ she sniffs
âwell, are you sure you didnât sex some random stranger?â
âI didnât. I didnât, I would have been carefulââ she cries
âOkay. So, if we are going by the fact that you
may be drugged, where have you gone to of
recent say in the past one month that there is a
likely possibility of that happening?ââ
âErm..erâ she screws up her face..âChurch,
Auntâs Christieâs Baby showers, Dannyâs
birthday party, karaoke, erm you and I went pool
partying, and erm⊠library sessions with the
Stevens, thatâs all I think.We havenât had much parties attendance and in these ones, there were hardly alcohol used, and I didnât drink because I was sick for almost two weeks and doctor says no drugs with alcohol and ..well thatâs it.
Graduation party was the only major party we
both went for that was totally trunt and off the
hook ⊠and we know there was so much
alcohol, drugs and the whole shebang, I was
stoned, but since then not so much and-â
â oh my God Meg..thatâs it!â
âThatâs what?ââ
âGraduation partyâ
âWhat about itâ
âYour test says you are one month pregnant
right?â
âYesâ
âwhen was graduation party?ââ
âErm?ââ
They counted the days backwards..
âWhen did you notice you hadnât seen Lady
Red?â
âI noticed two weeks later that I was already
over a week lateâ
âDang!!! We just found the loop hole dude, you
got knocked up on graduation nightâ
Megan frowns, trying to remember that day âBut,
I wasnât with a guy that day, we went together
and we had fun and I knew I drank a lot and I
only remember waking up the next morning in
my house, you dropped me off didnât you?â
Silence
âYou dropped me off at home after the party
right because I knew I woke up with a nasty
hangover, then you came around and mom was
asking and I said you dropped me home and you
said yes, right?ââ
âWell about that, honestly babes I didnât drop
you homeâ
âJesus Tonia!!!!ââ
âI am sorry, I met this sexy s–d and ⊠yes I
remember now, you were soo high you could
hardly stand straight, oh crap, I took you into a
room to sleep it off because you didnât want to
go just yet and I didnât either and he was sexy
hot and I was h—y as a dog on heat and
anyways you were half awake and asleep and I
told you I was going to come back and get you
and I am sorry, we went back, had fun and we
sort of went to his place and by the time I knew
it, it was morning, I rushed over to the party
house, didnât see you there that is why I quickly
ran to yours and there you were, safe and when
your mum asked how you got home and if you
got home on time you said yes and said I
dropped you off and I knew if I had said
otherwise your mum would have gone berserk
and everything would have gone to shits⊠but
d–n babes I am sorry, I didnât think it was a
big deal plus I didnât want you to be mad at me
for not taking you homeâ she says remorsefully
âWell right now itâs a big deal Tonia, how come you didnât say anything. I was raped in there d–n it, I am frigging pregnantâ
âWell you were alone in the room , no one else
was there plus we didnât hear of any case of
anyone being rapedâ
âLike you said if I was drugged, I wouldnât be
able to rememberâ
ââTrue, but we are just speculating, what if you
werenât drugged, maybe you did have sex and
too drunk to rememberâ
ââThat wouldnât happenâ
âSure about that Meg?â
Meg bites her lips âI would remember Tonia, I
wouldâ she cries leaning onto Toniaâs shoulders
âI am sorry Meg, really itâs my fault, I shouldnât have left you thereââ
âwhat will I do??â
âWell we need to find out who and who was in
that party that dayâ
Megan scoffs âThatâs like finding a needle in a
hay sack Tonia, like chasing ghosts. There were
a whole lot of students, from different universities
..how the hell are we going to find someone we
donât know about?â
âS–t! Babe you have to remember
something,anythingâ
Megan shakes her head âI swear I donâtâ
âWhat are you going to do? You just fresh out of
college, no job, no boyfriend and therefore no
suitor reading to whisk you away and your
parents are deep Catholics⊠you are in deep
s–tâ
âI know. I have to tell themâ
âNo you donât, you could just go to the clinic and have it removed unless you want to keep it, you donât know who the father isâ
âI donât know. Maybe ..no I canât, how am I
going to take care of it?â
âOkay, I know someone, he has done it for a
friend of a friend a while back, we can go today
or tomorrow, the longer you wait the riskier for
you, you know right?ââ
Megan sighs
âDoes it hurt, abortion?â
âHer words? Like hell and it cost a tiny fortune,
how much you got?ââ
Goosebumps rises up Megâs bodyâŠâ okay then.
Not much, I need to clear out all my small
savingsâ
âOkayâ
âLet me go in, I donât want mum to come out
an begin to ask me questionsâ
âOkay ââ
*
As she lays on her bed , trying to go to sleep,
racking her brain trying to remember anything,
anything at all for the past couple of weeks to
pinpoint when exactly and how exactly she was
stupid enough to have unprotected sex with
anyone or was she raped?.
Nothing comes to mind.
