"Sometimes one test is all anyone really needs. This..." she paused to think, "...just not one of those cases." Lark didn't know the specifics of all pregnancy tests, how different each one might have been or if some could detect sooner than others. This wasn't the specific part she had to go through, let alone that early. She found out well past the first month when she was pregnant. Lark couldn't relate to the fear of uncertainty. She couldn't possibly understand how it felt to think and have suspicions, to feel like something was off but not be completely sure. On top of that, to have an actual test say it wasn't sure...it was terrifying. Lark may not have known how scary that part was, but she did know that pregnancy was scary. It didn't matter if it was one guy or if it could be multiple guys; no girl deserved to go through this. That very much included Stella, despite any differences they've had even as of five minutes ago.
She was about to respond. Maybe at least call to make an appointment ASAP? It wasn't like Stella should b like this for very long; if there was a way she could know sooner rather than later...not to mention a doctor would probably be able to tell if it could be anything else in the world. The only downside was, Stella was still a minor so if it turned out to be positive what would stop a doctor from calling someone and telling them? But then Stella asked a question. 'We.' Yeah...yeah, Lark actually did say that. She didn't realize it at first either or that there was even a significance to it. But there was. We. God, she hadn't included herself in a 'we' in a long time now. It felt.... Lark shook her head.
"You shouldn't do this alone. No one should have to go through this alone," she said. But in the back of her mind, she couldn't help but think this was nothing. This was just two girls who happened to be sharing a similar experience and one was able to help the other. It didn't necessarily mean anything. For all she knew, Stella would rather go it alone for some reason. Or she'd rather go to one of her friends...Lark couldn't say she'd understand why though, but then again she was kind of biased against them currently. With every right to be, of course. But for all Lark knew, this was a one time thing. After today or after whenever the test was, things would probably just go back to the way they were before. "If you would rather go alone or if you'd feel more comfortable with one of the other cheerleaders, that's up to you. Right now the person that's here is me. And if you'd prefer otherwise, say the word and consider me gone. But someone should be there with you."
